DRC - Psalms - 104

104:1  Give glory to the Lord, and call upon his name: declare his deeds among the Gentiles.

104:2  Sing to him, yea sing praises to him: relate all his wondrous works.

104:3  Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.

104:4  Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened: seek his face evermore.

104:5  Remember his marvellous works which he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth.

104:6  O ye seed of Abraham his servant; ye sons of Jacob his chosen.

104:7  He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.

104:8  He hath remembered his covenant for ever: the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

104:9  Which he made to Abraham; and his oath to Isaac:

104:10  And he appointed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting testament:

104:11  Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the lot of your inheritance.

104:12  When they were but a small number: yea very few, and sojourners therein:

104:13  And they passed from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people.

104:14  He suffered no man to hurt them: and he reproved kings for their sakes.

104:15  Touch ye not my anointed: and do no evil to my prophets.

104:16  And he called a famine upon the land: and he broke in pieces all the support of bread.

104:17  He sent a man before them: Joseph, who was sold for a slave.

104:18  They humbled his feet in fetters: the iron pierced his soul,

104:19  Until his word came. The word of the Lord inflamed him.

104:20  The king sent, and he released him: the ruler of the people, and he set him at liberty.

104:21  He made him master of his house, and ruler of all his possession.

104:22  That he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his ancients wisdom.

104:23  And Israel went into Egypt: and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Cham.

104:24  And he increased his people exceedingly: and strengthened them over their enemies.

104:25  He turned their heart to hate his people: and to deal deceitfully with his servants.

104:26  He sent Moses his servant: Aaron the man whom he had chosen.

104:27  He gave them power to shew them signs, and his wonders in the land of Cham.

104:28  He sent darkness, and made it obscure: and grieved not his words.

104:29  He turned their waters into blood, and destroyed their fish.

104:30  Their land brought forth frogs, in the inner chambers of their kings.

104:31  He spoke, and there came divers sorts of flies and sciniphs in all their coasts.

104:32  He gave them hail for rain, a burning fire in the land.

104:33  And he destroyed their vineyards and their fig trees: and he broke in pieces the trees of their coasts.

104:34  He spoke, and the locust came, and the bruchus, of which there was no number.

104:35  And they devoured all the grass in their land, and consumed all the fruit of their ground.

104:36  And he slew all the firstborn in their land: the firstfruits of all their labour.

104:37  And he brought them out with silver and gold: and there was not among their tribes one that was feeble.

104:38  Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them lay upon them.

104:39  He spread a cloud for their protection, and fire to give them light in the night.

104:40  They asked, and the quail came: and he filled them with the bread of heaven.

104:41  He opened the rock, and waters flowed: rivers ran down in the dry land.

104:42  Because he remembered his holy word, which he had spoken to his servant Abraham.

104:43  And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness.

104:44  And he gave them the lands of the Gentiles: and they possessed the labours of the people:

104:45  That they might observe his justifications, and seek after his law.
