< Psalms 105 >
1 Give thanks to Yahweh, call on his name; make known his deeds among the nations.
Praise the Lord, and call vpon his Name: declare his workes among the people.
2 Sing to him, sing praises to him; speak of all his marvelous deeds.
Sing vnto him, sing prayse vnto him, and talke of all his wonderous workes.
3 Boast in his holy name; let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
Reioyce in his holy Name: let the heart of them that seeke the Lord, reioyce.
4 Seek Yahweh and his strength; seek his presence continually.
Seeke the Lord and his strength: seeke his face continually.
5 Recall the marvelous things he has done, his miracles and the decrees from his mouth,
Remember his marueilous woorkes, that he hath done, his wonders and the iudgements of his mouth,
6 you descendants of Abraham his servant, you people of Jacob, his chosen ones.
Ye seede of Abraham his seruant, ye children of Iaakob, which are his elect.
7 He is Yahweh, our God. His decrees are on all the earth.
He is the Lord our God: his iudgements are through all the earth.
8 He keeps in mind his covenant forever, the word that he commanded for a thousand generations.
He hath alway remembred his couenant and promise, that he made to a thousand generations,
9 He calls to mind the covenant that he made with Abraham and his oath to Isaac.
Euen that which he made with Abraham, and his othe vnto Izhak:
10 This is what he confirmed to Jacob as a statute and to Israel as an everlasting covenant.
And since hath confirmed it to Iaakob for a lawe, and to Israel for an euerlasting couenant,
11 He said, “I will give you the land of Canaan as your share of your inheritance.”
Saying, Vnto thee will I giue the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.
12 He said this when they were only few in number, so very few, and were strangers in the land.
Albeit they were fewe in nomber, yea, very fewe, and strangers in the land,
13 They went from nation to nation and from one kingdom to another.
And walked about from nation to nation, from one kingdome to another people,
14 He did not allow anyone to oppress them; he rebuked kings for their sakes.
Yet suffered he no man to doe them wrong, but reprooued Kings for their sakes, saying,
15 He said, “Do not touch my anointed ones, and do not harm my prophets.”
Touche not mine anointed, and doe my Prophets no harme.
16 He called for a famine on the land; he cut off the whole supply of bread.
Moreouer, he called a famine vpon ye land, and vtterly brake the staffe of bread.
17 He sent a man ahead of them; Joseph was sold as a servant.
But he sent a man before them: Ioseph was solde for a slaue.
18 His feet were bound by shackles; on his neck was put an iron collar,
They helde his feete in the stockes, and he was laide in yrons,
19 until what he had said came to pass. The word of Yahweh tested him.
Vntill his appointed time came, and the counsell of the Lord had tryed him.
20 The king sent servants to release him; the ruler of the people set him free.
The King sent and loosed him: euen the Ruler of the people deliuered him.
21 He put him in charge of his house as ruler of all his possessions
He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance,
22 to instruct his princes as he wished and to teach his elders wisdom.
That he shoulde binde his princes vnto his will, and teach his Ancients wisedome.
23 Then Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob lived for a time in the land of Ham.
Then Israel came to Egypt, and Iaakob was a stranger in the land of Ham.
24 Yahweh made his people fruitful, and made them stronger than their enemies.
And he increased his people exceedingly, and made them stronger then their oppressours.
25 He caused their enemies to hate his people, to mistreat his servants.
He turned their heart to hate his people, and to deale craftily with his seruants.
26 He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
Then sent he Moses his seruant, and Aaron whom he had chosen.
27 They performed his signs among the Egyptians, his wonders in the land of Ham.
They shewed among them the message of his signes, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness and made that land dark, but its people did not obey his commands.
He sent darkenesse, and made it darke: and they were not disobedient vnto his commission.
29 He turned their water into blood and killed their fish.
He turned their waters into blood, and slewe their fish.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their rulers.
Their land brought foorth frogs, euen in their Kings chambers.
31 He spoke, and swarms of flies and gnats came throughout their country.
He spake, and there came swarmes of flies and lice in all their quarters.
32 He turned their rain into hail, with fire flaming on their land.
He gaue them haile for raine, and flames of fire in their land.
33 He destroyed their vines and fig trees; he broke the trees of their country.
He smote their vines also and their figge trees, and brake downe the trees in their coastes.
34 He spoke, and the locusts came, so many locusts.
He spake, and the grashoppers came, and caterpillers innumerable,
35 The locusts ate up all of the vegetation in their land; They ate up all the crops of the ground.
And did eate vp all the grasse in their land, and deuoured the fruite of their ground.
36 He killed every firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their strength.
He smote also all the first borne in their land, euen the beginning of all their strength.
37 He brought the Israelites out with silver and gold; none of his tribes stumbled on the way.
He brought them forth also with siluer and golde, and there was none feeble among their tribes.
38 Egypt was glad when they went away, for the Egyptians were afraid of them.
Egypt was glad at their departing: for the feare of them had fallen vpon them.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering and made a fire to light up the night.
He spred a cloude to be a couering, and fire to giue light in the night.
40 The Israelites asked for food, and he brought quail and satisfied them with bread from heaven.
They asked, and he brought quailes, and he filled them with the bread of heauen.
41 He split the rock, and waters gushed from it; they flowed in the wilderness like a river.
He opened the rocke, and the waters flowed out, and ranne in the drye places like a riuer.
42 For he called to mind his holy promise that he made to Abraham his servant.
For he remembred his holy promise to Abraham his seruant,
43 He led his people out with joy, his chosen with shouts of triumph.
And he brought forth his people with ioy, and his chosen with gladnesse,
44 He gave them the lands of the nations; they took possession of the wealth of the peoples
And gaue them the lands of the heathen, and they tooke the labours of the people in possession,
45 so that they might keep his statutes and obey his laws. Praise Yahweh.
That they might keepe his statutes, and obserue his Lawes. Prayse ye the Lord.
