Noyes - Psalms - 105

105:1  O give thanks unto the LORD; Call upon his name; Make known his deeds among the people!

105:2  Sing unto him; sing psalms unto him; Tell ye of all his wondrous works!

105:3  Glory ye in his holy name; Let the hearts of them that seek the LORD rejoice!

105:4  Seek the LORD, and his majesty; Seek his face continually!

105:5  Remember the wonders he hath wrought, His miracles and the judgments of his mouth,

105:6  Ye offspring of Abraham his servant, Ye children of Jacob his chosen!

105:7  Jehovah, he is our God, His judgments are over all the earth.

105:8  He remembereth his covenant for ever, And the promise to a thousand generations;

105:9  The covenant which he made with Abraham, And the oath which he gave to Isaac;

105:10  Which he confirmed to Jacob for a decree, And to Israel for an everlasting covenant.

105:11  "To thee," said he, "will I give the land of Canaan For the lot of your inheritance."

105:12  When they were yet few in number, Very few, and strangers in the land;

105:13  When they went from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people,

105:14  He suffered no man to oppress them; Yea, he rebuked kings for their sakes.

105:15  "Touch not," said he, "mine anointed, And do my prophets no harm!"

105:16  Again, when he commanded a famine in the land, And broke the whole staff of bread,

105:17  He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold as a slave.

105:18  His feet they hurt with fetters; He was bound in chains of iron;

105:19  Until his prediction came to pass, And the word of the LORD proved him.

105:20  Then the king sent, and loosed him; The ruler of nations, and set him free;

105:21  He made him governor of his house, And lord of all his possessions;

105:22  To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his counsellors wisdom.

105:23  Israel also came into Egypt, And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham;

105:24  Where God increased his people greatly, And made them stronger than their enemies.

105:25  He turned their hearts to hate his people, And form devices against his servants.

105:26  Then sent he Moses his servant, And Aaron, whom he had chosen.

105:27  They showed his signs among them, And his wonders in the land of Ham.

105:28  He sent darkness upon them, and made it dark; And they did not disobey his word.

105:29  He turned their waters into blood, And caused their fish to die.

105:30  Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, Even in the chambers of their kings.

105:31  He spake, and there came flies, And lice in all their coasts.

105:32  Instead of rain he gave them hail, And flaming fire in their land.

105:33  He smote also their vines and fig-trees, And broke the trees of their coasts.

105:34  He spake, and the locusts came. Destructive locusts without number,

105:35  Which ate up all the herbage in their land, And devoured the fruits of their fields.

105:36  Then he smote all the first-born in their land, The first-fruits of all their strength.

105:37  He led forth his people with silver and gold; Nor was there one feeble person in all their tribes.

105:38  Egypt was glad when they departed, For their terror had fallen upon them.

105:39  He spread out a cloud for a covering, And fire to give light by night.

105:40  They asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

105:41  He opened the rock, and the waters gushed forth, And ran in the dry places like a river.

105:42  For he remembered his holy promise, Which he had made to Abraham his servant;

105:43  And he led forth his people with joy, And his chosen with gladness.

105:44  He gave to them the lands of the nations, And they inherited the labor of the peoples;

105:45  That they might observe his statutes, And obey his laws. Praise ye the LORD!
