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
1Give ye thanks to Jehovah — call ye in His name, Make known among the peoples His acts.
2Sing ye to Him — sing praise to Him, Meditate ye on all His wonders.
3Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking Jehovah rejoiceth.
4Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek ye His face continually.
5Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth.
6O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
7He [is] Jehovah our God, In all the earth [are] His judgments.
8He hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He commanded to a thousand generations,
9That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,
10And doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel — a covenant age-during,
11Saying, ‘To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,’
12In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it.
13And they go up and down, from nation unto nation, From a kingdom unto another people.
14He hath not suffered any to oppress them And He reproveth for their sakes kings.
15‘Strike not against Mine anointed, And to My prophets do not evil.’
16And He calleth a famine on the land, The whole staff of bread He hath broken.
17He hath sent before them a man, For a servant hath Joseph been sold.
18They have afflicted with fetters his feet, Iron hath entered his soul,
19Till the time of the coming of His word The saying of Jehovah hath tried him.
20The king hath sent, and looseth him, The ruler of the peoples, and draweth him out.
21He hath made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions.
22To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And his elders he maketh wise.
23And Israel cometh in to Egypt, And Jacob hath sojourned in the land of Ham.
24And He maketh His people very fruitful, And maketh it mightier than its adversaries.
25He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire against His servants.
26He hath sent Moses His servant, Aaron whom He had fixed on.
27They have set among them the matters of His signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.
28He hath sent darkness, and it is dark, And they have not provoked His word.
29He hath turned their waters to blood, And putteth to death their fish.
30Teemed hath their land [with] frogs, In the inner chambers of their kings.
31He hath said, and the beetle cometh, Lice into all their border.
32He hath made their showers hail, A flaming fire [is] in their land.
33And He smiteth their vine and their fig, And shivereth the trees of their border.
34He hath said, and the locust cometh, And the cankerworm — innumerable,
35And it consumeth every herb in their land, And it consumeth the fruit of their ground.
36And He smiteth every first-born in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,
37And bringeth them out with silver and gold, And there is not in its tribes a feeble one.
38Rejoiced hath Egypt in their going forth, For their fear had fallen upon them.
39He hath spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to enlighten the night.
40They have asked, and He bringeth quails, And [with] bread of heaven satisfieth them.
41He hath opened a rock, and waters issue, They have gone on in dry places — a river.
42For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant,
43And He bringeth forth His people with joy, With singing His chosen ones.
44And He giveth to them the lands of nations, And the labour of peoples they possess,
45That they may observe His statutes, And His laws may keep. Praise ye Jehovah!
