Psalms 105
1 O give thanks unto the LORD; Call upon his name; Make known his deeds among the people!
Alleluya. Knouleche ye to the Lord, and inwardli clepe ye his name; telle ye hise werkis among hethen men.
2 Sing unto him; sing psalms unto him; Tell ye of all his wondrous works!
Synge ye to hym, and seie ye salm to him, and telle ye alle hise merueylis;
3 Glory ye in his holy name; Let the hearts of them that seek the LORD rejoice!
be ye preisid in his hooli name. The herte of men sekynge the Lord be glad;
4 Seek the LORD, and his majesty; Seek his face continually!
seke ye the Lord, and be ye confermed; seke ye euere his face.
5 Remember the wonders he hath wrought, His miracles and the judgments of his mouth,
Haue ye mynde on hise merueilis, whiche he dide; on his grete wondris, and domes of his mouth.
6 Ye offspring of Abraham his servant, Ye children of Jacob his chosen!
The seed of Abraham, his seruaunt; the sones of Jacob, his chosun man.
7 Jehovah, he is our God, His judgments are over all the earth.
He is oure Lord God; hise domes ben in al the erthe.
8 He remembereth his covenant for ever, And the promise to a thousand generations;
He was myndeful of his testament in to the world; of the word which he comaundide in to a thousynde generaciouns.
9 The covenant which he made with Abraham, And the oath which he gave to Isaac;
Which he disposide to Abraham; and of his ooth to Isaac.
10 Which he confirmed to Jacob for a decree, And to Israel for an everlasting covenant.
And he ordeynede it to Jacob in to a comaundement; and to Israel in to euerlastinge testament.
11 “To thee,” said he, “will I give the land of Canaan For the lot of your inheritance.”
And he seide, I shal yiue to thee the lond of Canaan; the cord of youre eritage.
12 When they were yet few in number, Very few, and strangers in the land;
Whanne thei weren in a litil noumbre; and the comelingis of hem weren ful fewe.
13 When they went from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people,
And thei passiden fro folk in to folk; and fro a rewme in to another puple.
14 He suffered no man to oppress them; Yea, he rebuked kings for their sakes.
He lefte not a man to anoye hem; and he chastiside kyngis for hem.
15 “Touch not,” said he, “mine anointed, And do my prophets no harm!”
Nile ye touche my cristis; and nyle ye do wickidli among my prophetis.
16 Again, when he commanded a famine in the land, And broke the whole staff of bread,
And God clepide hungir on erthe; and he wastide al the stidefastnesse of breed.
17 He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold as a slave.
He sente a man bifore hem; Joseph was seeld in to a seruaunt.
18 His feet they hurt with fetters; He was bound in chains of iron;
Thei maden lowe hise feet in stockis, irun passide by his soule; til the word of him cam.
19 Until his prediction came to pass, And the word of the LORD proved him.
The speche of the Lord enflawmede him;
20 Then the king sent, and loosed him; The ruler of nations, and set him free;
the king sente and vnbond hym; the prince of puplis sente and delyuerede him.
21 He made him governor of his house, And lord of all his possessions;
He ordeynede him the lord of his hous; and the prince of al his possessioun.
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his counsellors wisdom.
That he schulde lerne hise princis as him silf; and that he schulde teche hise elde men prudence.
23 Israel also came into Egypt, And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham;
And Israel entride in to Egipt; and Jacob was a comeling in the lond of Cham.
24 Where God increased his people greatly, And made them stronger than their enemies.
And God encreesside his puple greetli; and made hym stidefast on hise enemyes.
25 He turned their hearts to hate his people, And form devices against his servants.
He turnede the herte of hem, that thei hatiden his puple; and diden gile ayens hise seruauntis.
26 Then sent he Moses his servant, And Aaron, whom he had chosen.
He sent Moises, his seruaunt; thilke Aaron, whom he chees.
27 They showed his signs among them, And his wonders in the land of Ham.
He puttide in hem the wordis of hise myraclis; and of hise grete wondris in the lond of Cham.
28 He sent darkness upon them, and made it dark; And they did not disobey his word.
He sente derknessis, and made derk; and he made not bitter hise wordis.
29 He turned their waters into blood, And caused their fish to die.
He turnede the watris of hem in to blood; and he killide the fischis of hem.
30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, Even in the chambers of their kings.
And the lond of hem yaf paddoks; in the priue places of the kyngis of hem.
31 He spake, and there came flies, And lice in all their coasts.
God seide, and a fleische flie cam; and gnattis in alle the coostis of hem.
32 Instead of rain he gave them hail, And flaming fire in their land.
He settide her reynes hail; fier brennynge in the lond of hem.
33 He smote also their vines and fig-trees, And broke the trees of their coasts.
And he smoot the vynes of hem, and the fige trees of hem; and al to-brak the tree of the coostis of hem.
34 He spake, and the locusts came. Destructive locusts without number,
He seide, and a locuste cam; and a bruk of which was noon noumbre.
35 Which ate up all the herbage in their land, And devoured the fruits of their fields.
And it eet al the hey in the lond of hem; and it eet al the fruyt of the lond of hem.
36 Then he smote all the first-born in their land, The first-fruits of all their strength.
And he killide ech the firste gendrid thing in the lond of hem; the firste fruitis of alle the trauel of hem.
37 He led forth his people with silver and gold; Nor was there one feeble person in all their tribes.
And he ledde out hem with siluer and gold; and noon was sijk in the lynagis of hem.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed, For their terror had fallen upon them.
Egipt was glad in the goyng forth of hem; for the drede of hem lai on Egipcians.
39 He spread out a cloud for a covering, And fire to give light by night.
He spredde abrood a cloude, in to the hiling of hem; and fier, that it schynede to hem bi nyyt.
40 They asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
Thei axiden, and a curlew cam; and he fillide hem with the breed of heuene.
41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed forth, And ran in the dry places like a river.
He brak a stoon, and watris flowiden; floodis yeden forth in the drye place.
42 For he remembered his holy promise, Which he had made to Abraham his servant;
For he was myndeful of his hooli word; which he hadde to Abraham, his child.
43 And he led forth his people with joy, And his chosen with gladness.
And he ledde out his puple in ful out ioiyng; and hise chosun men in gladnesse.
44 He gave to them the lands of the nations, And they inherited the labor of the peoples;
And he yaf to hem the cuntreis of hethen men; and thei hadden in possessioun the trauels of puplis.
45 That they might observe his statutes, And obey his laws. Praise ye the LORD!
That thei kepe hise iustifiyngis; and seke his lawe.
