DRC - Psalms - 105

105:1  Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

105:2  Who shall declare the powers of the Lord? who shall set forth all his praises?

105:3  Blessed are they that keep judgment, and do justice at all times.

105:4  Remember us, O Lord, in the favour of thy people: visit us with thy salvation.

105:5  That we may see the good of thy chosen, that we may rejoice in the joy of thy nation: that thou mayst be praised with thy inheritance.

105:6  We have sinned with our fathers: we have acted unjustly, we have wrought iniquity.

105:7  Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt: they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies: And they provoked to wrath going up to the sea, even the Red Sea.

105:8  And he saved them for his own name's sake: that he might make his power known.

105:9  And he rebuked the Red Sea and it was dried up: and he led them through the depths, as in a wilderness.

105:10  And he saved them from the hand of them that hated them: and he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

105:11  And the water covered them that afflicted them: there was not one of them left.

105:12  And they believed his words: and they sang his praises.

105:13  They had quickly done, they forgot his works: and they waited not for his counsel.

105:14  And they coveted their desire in the desert: and they tempted God in the place without water.

105:15  And he gave them their request: and sent fulness into their souls.

105:16  And they provoked Moses in the camp, Aaron the holy one of the Lord.

105:17  The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan: and covered the congregation of Abiron.

105:18  And a fire was kindled in their congregation: the flame burned the wicked.

105:19  They made also a calf in Horeb: and they adored the graven thing.

105:20  And they changed their glory into the likeness of a calf that eateth grass.

105:21  They forgot God, who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt,

105:22  Wondrous works in the land of Cham: terrible things in the Red Sea.

105:23  And he said that he would destroy them: had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach: To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

105:24  And they set at nought the desirable land. They believed not his word,

105:25  And they murmured in their tents: they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord.

105:26  And he lifted up his hand over them: to overthrow them in the desert;

105:27  And to cast down their seed among the nations, and to scatter them in the countries.

105:28  They also were initiated to Beelphegor: and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

105:29  And they provoked him with their inventions: and destruction was multiplied among them.

105:30  Then Phinees stood up, and pacified him: and the slaughter ceased.

105:31  And it was reputed to him unto justice, to generation and generation for evermore.

105:32  They provoked him also at the waters of contradiction: and Moses was afflicted for their sakes:

105:33  Because they exasperated his spirit. And he distinguished with his lips.

105:34  They did not destroy the nations of which the Lord spoke unto them.

105:35  And they were mingled among the heathens, and learned their works:

105:36  And served their idols, and it became a stumblingblock to them.

105:37  And they sacrificed their sons, and their daughters to devils.

105:38  And they shed innocent blood: the blood of their sons and of their daughters which they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan. And the land was polluted with blood,

105:39  And was defiled with their works: and they went aside after their own inventions.

105:40  And the Lord was exceedingly angry with his people: and he abhorred his inheritance.

105:41  And he delivered them into the hands of the nations: and they that hated them had dominion over them.

105:42  And their enemies afflicted them: and they were humbled under their hands:

105:43  Many times did he deliver them. But they provoked him with their counsel: and they were brought low by their iniquities.

105:44  And he saw when they were in tribulation: and he heard their prayer.

105:45  And he was mindful of his covenant: and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

105:46  And he gave them unto mercies, in the sight of all those that had made them captives.

105:47  Save us, O Lord, our God: and gather us from among the nations: That we may give thanks to thy holy name, and may glory in thy praise.

105:48  Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say: So be it, so be it.
