| Chapter 105 |
1 |
Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known among the peoples his doings.
|
2 |
Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; Talk ye of all his marvelous works.
|
3 |
Glory ye in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
|
4 |
Seek ye Jehovah and his strength; Seek his face evermore.
|
5 |
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
|
6 |
O ye seed of Abraham his servant, Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
|
7 |
He is Jehovah our God: His judgments are in all the earth.
|
8 |
He hath remembered his covenant for ever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
|
9 |
[The covenant] which he made with Abraham, And his oath unto Isaac,
|
10 |
And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
|
11 |
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;
|
12 |
When they were but a few men in number, Yea, very few, and sojourners in it.
|
13 |
And they went about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people.
|
14 |
He suffered no man to do them wrong; Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
|
15 |
[Saying], Touch not mine anointed ones, And do my prophets no harm.
|
16 |
And he called for a famine upon the land; He brake the whole staff of bread.
|
17 |
He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant:
|
18 |
His feet they hurt with fetters: He was laid in [chains of] iron,
|
19 |
Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of Jehovah tried him.
|
20 |
The king sent and loosed him; Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
|
21 |
He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all his substance;
|
22 |
To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his elders wisdom.
|
23 |
Israel also came into Egypt; And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
|
24 |
And he increased his people greatly, And made them stronger than their adversaries.
|
25 |
He turned their heart to hate his people, To deal subtly with his servants.
|
26 |
He sent Moses his servant, [And] Aaron whom he had chosen.
|
27 |
They set among them his signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.
|
28 |
He sent darkness, and made it dark; And they rebelled not against his words.
|
29 |
He turned their waters into blood, And slew their fish.
|
30 |
Their land swarmed with frogs In the chambers of their kings.
|
31 |
He spake, and there came swarms of flies, And lice in all their borders.
|
32 |
He gave them hail for rain, [And] flaming fire in their land.
|
33 |
He smote their vines also and their fig-trees, And brake the trees of their borders.
|
34 |
He spake, and the locust came, And the grasshopper, and that without number,
|
35 |
And did eat up every herb in their land, And did eat up the fruit of their ground.
|
36 |
He smote also all the first-born in their land, The chief of all their strength.
|
37 |
And he brought them forth with silver and gold; And there was not one feeble person among his tribes.
|
38 |
Egypt was glad when they departed; For the fear of them had fallen upon them.
|
39 |
He spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to give light in the night.
|
40 |
They asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
|
41 |
He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; They ran in the dry places [like] a river.
|
42 |
For he remembered his holy word, [And] Abraham his servant.
|
43 |
And he brought forth his people with joy, [And] his chosen with singing.
|
44 |
And he gave them the lands of the nations; And they took the labor of the peoples in possession:
|
45 |
That they might keep his statutes, And observe his laws. Praise ye Jehovah. Psalm 106
