Psalms 105
1 O give thanks to 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 to him, sing psalms to him: talk 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 heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
be ye preisid in his hooli name. The herte of men sekynge the Lord be glad;
4 Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
seke ye the Lord, and be ye confermed; seke ye euere his face.
5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, 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 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
The seed of Abraham, his seruaunt; the sones of Jacob, his chosun man.
7 He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
He is oure Lord God; hise domes ben in al the erthe.
8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded 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 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac;
Which he disposide to Abraham; and of his ooth to Isaac.
10 And confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, 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 Saying, To thee will I give the land of Canaan, 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 a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
Whanne thei weren in a litil noumbre; and the comelingis of hem weren ful fewe.
13 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;
And thei passiden fro folk in to folk; and fro a rewme in to another puple.
14 He permitted no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
He lefte not a man to anoye hem; and he chastiside kyngis for hem.
15 Saying, Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
Nile ye touche my cristis; and nyle ye do wickidli among my prophetis.
16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he 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, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
He sente a man bifore hem; Joseph was seeld in to a seruaunt.
18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
Thei maden lowe hise feet in stockis, irun passide by his soule; til the word of him cam.
19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
The speche of the Lord enflawmede him;
20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
the king sente and vnbond hym; the prince of puplis sente and delyuerede him.
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
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 elders 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 And he 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 heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
He turnede the herte of hem, that thei hatiden his puple; and diden gile ayens hise seruauntis.
26 He sent 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 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, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
He sente derknessis, and made derk; and he made not bitter hise wordis.
29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
He turnede the watris of hem in to blood; and he killide the fischis of hem.
30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.
And the lond of hem yaf paddoks; in the priue places of the kyngis of hem.
31 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and lice in all their land.
God seide, and a fleische flie cam; and gnattis in alle the coostis of hem.
32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
He settide her reynes hail; fier brennynge in the lond of hem.
33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and broke the trees of their land.
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 spoke, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,
He seide, and a locuste cam; and a bruk of which was noon noumbre.
35 And ate up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
And it eet al the hey in the lond of hem; and it eet al the fruyt of the lond of hem.
36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief 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 brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among 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 the fear of them fell upon them.
Egipt was glad in the goyng forth of hem; for the drede of hem lai on Egipcians.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
He spredde abrood a cloude, in to the hiling of hem; and fier, that it schynede to hem bi nyyt.
40 The people 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 out; they 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, and Abraham his servant.
For he was myndeful of his hooli word; which he hadde to Abraham, his child.
43 And he brought 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 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;
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 keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.
That thei kepe hise iustifiyngis; and seke his lawe.
