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.

Psalm 105
105
1O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name:
Make known his deeds among the people.
2Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him:
Talk ye of all his wondrous works.
3Glory ye in his holy name:
Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
4Seek the LORD, and his strength:
Seek his face evermore.
5Remember his marvellous works that he hath done;
His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6O ye seed of Abraham his servant,
Ye children of Jacob his chosen.
7He is the LORD our God:
His judgments are in all the earth.
8He hath remembered his covenant for ever,
The word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
9Which covenant he made with Abraham,
And his oath unto Isaac;
10And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law,
And to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
11Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,
The lot of your inheritance:
12When they were but a few men in number;
Yea, very few, and strangers in it.
13When they went from one nation to another,
From one kingdom to another people;
14He suffered no man to do them wrong:
Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed,
And do my prophets no harm.
16Moreover he called for a famine upon the land:
He brake the whole staff of bread.
17He sent a man before them,
Even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
18Whose feet they hurt with fetters:
He was laid in iron:
19Until the time that his word came:
The word of the LORD tried him.
20The king sent and loosed him;
Even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
21He made him lord of his house,
And ruler of all his substance:
22To bind his princes at his pleasure;
And teach his senators wisdom.
23Israel also came into Egypt;
And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24And he increased his people greatly;
And made them stronger than their enemies.
25He turned their heart to hate his people,
To deal subtilly with his servants.
26He sent Moses his servant;
And Aaron whom he had chosen.
27They shewed his signs among them,
And wonders in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness, and made it dark;
And they rebelled not against his word.
29He turned their waters into blood,
And slew their fish.
30Their land brought forth frogs in abundance,
In the chambers of their kings.
31He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies,
And lice in all their coasts.
32He gave them hail for rain,
And flaming fire in their land.
33He smote their vines also and their fig trees;
And brake the trees of their coasts.
34He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,
35And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
36He smote also all the firstborn in their land,
The chief of all their strength.
37He brought them forth also with silver and gold:
And there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
38Egypt was glad when they departed:
For the fear of them fell upon them.
39He spread a cloud for a covering;
And fire to give light in the night.
40 The people asked, and he brought quails,
And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out;
They ran in the dry places like a river.
42For he remembered his holy promise,
And Abraham his servant.
43And he brought forth his people with joy,
And his chosen with gladness:
44And gave them the lands of the heathen:
And they inherited the labour of the people;
45That they might observe his statutes,
And keep his laws.
Praise ye the LORD.
