Psalms 105: (ASV)
|
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 marvellous 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.
