Geneva1599 - Psalms - 105

105:1  Praise the Lord, and call vpon his Name: declare his workes among the people.

105:2  Sing vnto him, sing prayse vnto him, and talke of all his wonderous workes.

105:3  Reioyce in his holy Name: let the heart of them that seeke the Lord, reioyce.

105:4  Seeke the Lord and his strength: seeke his face continually.

105:5  Remember his marueilous woorkes, that he hath done, his wonders and the iudgements of his mouth,

105:6  Ye seede of Abraham his seruant, ye children of Iaakob, which are his elect.

105:7  He is the Lord our God: his iudgements are through all the earth.

105:8  He hath alway remembred his couenant and promise, that he made to a thousand generations,

105:9  Euen that which he made with Abraham, and his othe vnto Izhak:

105:10  And since hath confirmed it to Iaakob for a lawe, and to Israel for an euerlasting couenant,

105:11  Saying, Vnto thee will I giue the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.

105:12  Albeit they were fewe in nomber, yea, very fewe, and strangers in the land,

105:13  And walked about from nation to nation, from one kingdome to another people,

105:14  Yet suffered he no man to doe them wrong, but reprooued Kings for their sakes, saying,

105:15  Touche not mine anointed, and doe my Prophets no harme.

105:16  Moreouer, he called a famine vpon ye land, and vtterly brake the staffe of bread.

105:17  But he sent a man before them: Ioseph was solde for a slaue.

105:18  They helde his feete in the stockes, and he was laide in yrons,

105:19  Vntill his appointed time came, and the counsell of the Lord had tryed him.

105:20  The King sent and loosed him: euen the Ruler of the people deliuered him.

105:21  He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance,

105:22  That he shoulde binde his princes vnto his will, and teach his Ancients wisedome.

105:23  Then Israel came to Egypt, and Iaakob was a stranger in the land of Ham.

105:24  And he increased his people exceedingly, and made them stronger then their oppressours.

105:25  He turned their heart to hate his people, and to deale craftily with his seruants.

105:26  Then sent he Moses his seruant, and Aaron whom he had chosen.

105:27  They shewed among them the message of his signes, and wonders in the land of Ham.

105:28  He sent darkenesse, and made it darke: and they were not disobedient vnto his commission.

105:29  He turned their waters into blood, and slewe their fish.

105:30  Their land brought foorth frogs, euen in their Kings chambers.

105:31  He spake, and there came swarmes of flies and lice in all their quarters.

105:32  He gaue them haile for raine, and flames of fire in their land.

105:33  He smote their vines also and their figge trees, and brake downe the trees in their coastes.

105:34  He spake, and the grashoppers came, and caterpillers innumerable,

105:35  And did eate vp all the grasse in their land, and deuoured the fruite of their ground.

105:36  He smote also all the first borne in their land, euen the beginning of all their strength.

105:37  He brought them forth also with siluer and golde, and there was none feeble among their tribes.

105:38  Egypt was glad at their departing: for the feare of them had fallen vpon them.

105:39  He spred a cloude to be a couering, and fire to giue light in the night.

105:40  They asked, and he brought quailes, and he filled them with the bread of heauen.

105:41  He opened the rocke, and the waters flowed out, and ranne in the drye places like a riuer.

105:42  For he remembred his holy promise to Abraham his seruant,

105:43  And he brought forth his people with ioy, and his chosen with gladnesse,

105:44  And gaue them the lands of the heathen, and they tooke the labours of the people in possession,

105:45  That they might keepe his statutes, and obserue his Lawes. Prayse ye the Lord.
