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
1Praise the Lord, and call vpon his Name: declare his workes among the people. 2Sing vnto him, sing prayse vnto him, and talke of all his wonderous workes. 3Reioyce in his holy Name: let the heart of them that seeke the Lord, reioyce. 4Seeke the Lord and his strength: seeke his face continually. 5Remember his marueilous woorkes, that he hath done, his wonders and the iudgements of his mouth, 6Ye seede of Abraham his seruant, ye children of Iaakob, which are his elect. 7He is the Lord our God: his iudgements are through all the earth. 8He hath alway remembred his couenant and promise, that he made to a thousand generations, 9Euen that which he made with Abraham, and his othe vnto Izhak: 10And since hath confirmed it to Iaakob for a lawe, and to Israel for an euerlasting couenant, 11Saying, Vnto thee will I giue the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance. 12Albeit they were fewe in nomber, yea, very fewe, and strangers in the land, 13And walked about from nation to nation, from one kingdome to another people, 14Yet suffered he no man to doe them wrong, but reprooued Kings for their sakes, saying, 15Touche not mine anointed, and doe my Prophets no harme. 16Moreouer, he called a famine vpon ye land, and vtterly brake the staffe of bread. 17But he sent a man before them: Ioseph was solde for a slaue. 18They helde his feete in the stockes, and he was laide in yrons, 19Vntill his appointed time came, and the counsell of the Lord had tryed him. 20The King sent and loosed him: euen the Ruler of the people deliuered him. 21He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance, 22That he shoulde binde his princes vnto his will, and teach his Ancients wisedome. 23Then Israel came to Egypt, and Iaakob was a stranger in the land of Ham. 24And he increased his people exceedingly, and made them stronger then their oppressours. 25He turned their heart to hate his people, and to deale craftily with his seruants. 26Then sent he Moses his seruant, and Aaron whom he had chosen. 27They shewed among them the message of his signes, and wonders in the land of Ham. 28He sent darkenesse, and made it darke: and they were not disobedient vnto his commission. 29He turned their waters into blood, and slewe their fish. 30Their land brought foorth frogs, euen in their Kings chambers. 31He spake, and there came swarmes of flies and lice in all their quarters. 32He gaue them haile for raine, and flames of fire in their land. 33He smote their vines also and their figge trees, and brake downe the trees in their coastes. 34He spake, and the grashoppers came, and caterpillers innumerable, 35And did eate vp all the grasse in their land, and deuoured the fruite of their ground. 36He smote also all the first borne in their land, euen the beginning of all their strength. 37He brought them forth also with siluer and golde, and there was none feeble among their tribes. 38Egypt was glad at their departing: for the feare of them had fallen vpon them. 39He spred a cloude to be a couering, and fire to giue light in the night. 40They asked, and he brought quailes, and he filled them with the bread of heauen. 41He opened the rocke, and the waters flowed out, and ranne in the drye places like a riuer. 42For he remembred his holy promise to Abraham his seruant, 43And he brought forth his people with ioy, and his chosen with gladnesse, 44And gaue them the lands of the heathen, and they tooke the labours of the people in possession, 45That they might keepe his statutes, and obserue his Lawes. Prayse ye the Lord.
