105:1Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name;
Make known among the peoples his doings.
105:2Sing unto him, sing praises unto him;
Talk ye of all his marvelous works.
105:3Glory ye in his holy name:
Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
105:4Seek ye Jehovah and his strength;
Seek his face evermore.
105:5Remember his marvellous works that he hath done,
His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
105:6O ye seed of Abraham his servant,
Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
His judgments are in all the earth.
105:8He hath remembered his covenant for ever,
The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
105:9The covenant which he made with Abraham,
And his oath unto Isaac,
105:10And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute,
To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
105:11Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,
The lot of your inheritance;
105:12When they were but a few men in number,
Yea, very few, and sojourners in it.
105:13And they went about from nation to nation,
From one kingdom to another people.
105:14He suffered no man to do them wrong;
Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
105:15Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones,
And do my prophets no harm.
105:16And he called for a famine upon the land;
He brake the whole staff of bread.
105:17He sent a man before them;
Joseph was sold for a servant:
105:18His feet they hurt with fetters:
He was laid in chains of iron,
105:19Until the time that his word came to pass,
The word of Jehovah tried him.
105:20The king sent and loosed him;
Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
105:21He made him lord of his house,
And ruler of all his substance;
105:22To bind his princes at his pleasure,
105:23Israel also came into Egypt;
And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
105:24And he increased his people greatly,
And made them stronger than their adversaries.
105:25He turned their heart to hate his people,
To deal subtly with his servants.
105:26He sent Moses his servant,
105:27They set among them his signs,
And wonders in the land of Ham.
105:28He sent darkness, and made it dark;
And they rebelled not against his words.
105:29He turned their waters into blood,
And slew their fish.
105:30Their land swarmed with frogs In the chambers of their kings.
105:31He spake, and there came swarms of flies,
And lice in all their borders.
105:32He gave them hail for rain,
And flaming fire in their land.
105:33He smote their vines also and their fig-trees,
And brake the trees of their borders.
105:34He spake, and the locust came,
And the grasshopper, and that without number,
105:35And did eat up every herb in their land,
And did eat up the fruit of their ground.
105:36He smote also all the first-born in their land,
The chief of all their strength.
105:37And he brought them forth with silver and gold;
And there was not one feeble person among his tribes.
105:38Egypt was glad when they departed;
For the fear of them had fallen upon them.
105:39He spread a cloud for a covering,
And fire to give light in the night.
105:40They asked, and he brought quails,
And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
105:41He opened the rock, and waters gushed out;
They ran in the dry places like a river.
105:42For he remembered his holy word,
And Abraham his servant.
105:43And he brought forth his people with joy,
105:44And he gave them the lands of the nations;
And they took the labor of the peoples in possession:
105:45That they might keep his statutes,
And observe his laws.
