PSALM 105
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Give thanks to God, call on his name;
to men his deeds make known.
2Sing ye to him, sing psalms; proclaim
his wondrous works each one.
3See that ye in his holy name
to glory do accord;
And let the heart of ev'ry one
rejoice that seeks the Lord.
4The Lord Almighty, and his strength,
with stedfast hearts seek ye:
His blessed and his gracious face
seek ye continually.
5Think on the works that he hath done,
which admiration breed;
His wonders, and the judgments all
which from his mouth proceed;
6O ye that are of Abr'ham's race,
his servant well approv'n;
And ye that Jacob's children are,
whom he chose for his own.
7Because he, and he only, is
the mighty Lord our God;
And his most righteous judgments are
in all the earth abroad.
8His cov'nant he remember'd hath,
that it may ever stand:
To thousand generations
the word he did command.
9Which covenant he firmly made
with faithful Abraham,
And unto Isaac, by his oath,
he did renew the same:
10And unto Jacob, for a law,
he made it firm and sure,
A covenant to Israel,
which ever should endure.
11He said, I'll give Canaan's land
for heritage to you;
12While they were strangers there,
and few, in number very few:
13While yet they went from land to land
without a sure abode;
And while through sundry kingdoms they
did wander far abroad;
14Yet, notwithstanding suffer'd he
no man to do them wrong:
Yea, for their sakes, he did reprove
kings, who were great and strong.
15Thus did he say, Touch ye not those
that mine anointed be,
Nor do the prophets any harm
that do pertain to me.
16He call'd for famine on the land,
he brake the staff of bread:
17But yet he sent a man before,
by whom they should be fed;
Ev'n Joseph, whom unnat'rally
sell for a slave did they;
18Whose feet with fetters they did hurt,
and he in irons lay;
19Until the time that his word came
to give him liberty;
The word and purpose of the Lord
did him in prison try.
20Then sent the king, and did command
that he enlarg'd should be:
He that the people's ruler was
did send to set him free.
21A lord to rule his family
he rais'd him, as most fit;
To him of all that he possess'd
he did the charge commit:
22That he might at his pleasure bind
the princes of the land;
And he might teach his senators
wisdom to understand.
23The people then of Israel
down into Egypt came;
And Jacob also sojourned
within the land of Ham.
24And he did greatly by his pow'r
increase his people there;
And stronger than their enemies
they by his blessing were.
25Their heart he turned to envy
his folk maliciously,
With those that his own servants were
to deal in subtilty.
26His servant Moses he did send,
Aaron his chosen one.
27By these his signs and wonders great
in Ham's land were made known.
28Darkness he sent, and made it dark;
his word they did obey.
29He turn'd their waters into blood,
and he their fish did slay.
30The land in plenty brought forth frogs
in chambers of their kings.
31His word all sorts of flies and lice
in all their borders brings.
32He hail for rain, and flaming fire
into their land he sent:
33And he their vines and fig-trees smote:
trees of their coasts he rent.
34He spake, and caterpillars came,
locusts did much abound;
35Which in their land all herbs consum'd,
and all fruits of their ground.
36He smote all first-born in their land,
chief of their strength each one.
37With gold and silver brought them forth,
weak in their tribes were none.
38Egypt was glad when forth they went,
their fear on them did light.
39He spread a cloud for covering,
and fire to shine by night.
40They ask'd, and he brought quails:
with bread of heav'n he filled them.
41He open'd rocks, floods gush'd,
and ran in deserts like a stream.
42For on his holy promise he,
and servant Abr'ham, thought.
43With joy his people, his elect
with gladness, forth he brought.
44And unto them the pleasant lands
he of the heathen gave;
That of the people's labour they
inheritance might have.
45That they his statutes might observe
according to his word;
And that they might his laws obey.
Give praise unto the Lord.

Psalms 105
105
1Ch 16:8–22
1Oh, give thanks unto the Lord; call upon His name;
make known His deeds among the peoples.
2#Ps 63:1; 84:2 Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him;
proclaim all His wondrous works.
3#Ps 79:10; 80:5 Glory in His holy name;
let the heart rejoice for those who seek the Lord.
4#Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8 Seek the Lord and His strength;
seek His presence continuously.
5#Ps 42:11; 43:5 Remember His marvelous works that He has done;
His wonders and the judgments from His mouth,
6#2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9 O offspring of Abraham, His servant,
O children of Jacob, His chosen ones.
7#Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3 He is the Lord our God;
His judgments are in all the earth.
8#Job 35:10; Ps 63:6 He remembers His covenant forever,
the word that He commanded, to a thousand generations,
9#Ps 38:6; 18:2 that covenant He made with Abraham,
and His oath to Isaac,
10#Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17 and confirmed to Jacob as a decree,
and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
11#Ps 42:5; 43:5 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan
as the portion of your inheritance.”
12When they were but a few people in number,
indeed, very few, and strangers in it,
13when they went from one nation to another,
from one kingdom to another people,
14He did not permit anyone to do them wrong;
indeed, He reproved kings on their behalf,
15saying, “Do not touch my anointed ones,
and do no harm to my prophets.”
16Moreover He called for a famine upon the land;
He broke the whole supply of bread.
17He sent a man before them,
Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18They hurt his feet with fetters;
his neck was put in an iron collar.
19Until the time that his word came to pass,
the word of the Lord tested him.
20The king sent and released him;
the ruler of the people let him go free.
21He made Joseph lord of his house
and ruler of all his possessions,
22to imprison his princes at Joseph’s pleasure
and to teach his elders wisdom.
23Then Israel came into Egypt,
and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24The Lord increased His people greatly
and made them stronger than their enemies.
25He turned their hearts to hate His people,
to deal cleverly with His servants.
26He sent Moses, His servant,
and Aaron whom He had chosen.
27They showed His signs among them
and wonders in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness and made the land dark,
and Moses and Aaron did not rebel against His word.
29He turned their waters into blood
and caused their fish to die.
30Their land brought forth frogs in abundance,
even in the chambers of their kings.
31He spoke, and there came swarms of flies
and gnats in all their country.
32He gave them hail for rain
and flaming lightning in their land.
33He struck their vines and their fig trees
and shattered the trees of their country.
34He spoke, and the locusts came,
and caterpillars without number,
35that devoured all the vegetation in their land,
and ate all the fruit of their ground.
36He struck down all the firstborn in their land,
the first fruits of all their strength.
37Then He brought them out with silver and gold,
and no one among their tribes faltered.
38Egypt was glad when they left,
for the fear of Israel fell upon them.
39He spread a cloud for a covering,
and fire to give light in the night.
40The people asked, and He brought quail,
and satisfied them with abundant bread of heaven.
41He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out;
they ran in the desert like a river.
42For he recalled His holy promise
to Abraham His servant.
43He brought forth His people with joy,
and His chosen ones with gladness,
44and gave them the lands of the nations,
and they took possession of the fruitful labor of the people,
45that they might observe His statutes
and keep His laws.
Praise the Lord!
