Psalm 105

Confitemini Domino.

GIVE thanks unto the LORD, and call upon his Name; tell the people what things he hath done. O let your songs be of him, and praise him; and let your talking be of all his wondrous works. Rejoice in his holy Name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his face evermore. Remember the marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen. He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the world. He hath been alway mindful of his covenant and promise, that he made to a thousand generations; Even the covenant that he made with Abraham; and the oath that he sware unto Isaac; And appointed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting testament; Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance: When there were yet but a few of them, and they strangers in the land; What time as they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people; He suffered no man to do them wrong, but reproved even kings for their sakes; Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. Moreover, he called for a dearth upon the land, and destroyed all the provision of bread. But he had sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold to be a bond-servant; Whose feet they hurt in the stocks; the iron entered into his soul; Until the time came that his cause was known: the word of the LORD tried him. The king sent, and delivered him; the prince of the people let him go free. He made him lord also of his house, and ruler of all his substance; That he might inform his princes after his will, and teach his senators wisdom. Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob was a stranger in the land of Ham. And he increased his people exceedingly, and made them stronger than their enemies; Whose heart turned so, that they hated his people, and dealt untruly with his servants. Then sent he Moses his servant, and Aaron whom he had chosen. And these showed his tokens among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. He sent darkness, and it was dark; and they were not obedient unto his word. He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish. Their land brought forth frogs; yea, even in their kings' chambers. He spake the word, and there came all manner of flies, and lice in all their quarters. He gave them hailstones for rain; and flames of fire in their land. He smote their vines also and figtrees; and destroyed the trees that were in their coasts. He spake the word, and the grasshoppers came, and caterpillars innumerable, and did eat up all the grass in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground. He smote all the firstborn in their land; even the chief of all their strength. He brought them forth also with silver and gold; there was not one feeble person among their tribes. Egypt was glad at their departing; for they were afraid of them. He spread out a cloud to be a covering, and fire to give light in the night season. At their desire he brought quails; and he filled them with the bread of heaven. He opened the rock of stone, and the waters flowed out, so that rivers ran in the dry places. For why? he remembered his holy promise; and Abraham his servant. And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness; And gave them the lands of the heathen; and they took the labours of the people in possession; That they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws.

O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.

Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.

Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.

Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.

He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.

He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;

And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:

Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:

When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.

When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;

He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;

Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.

He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:

Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:

Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.

The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.

He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:

To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.

Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.

He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.

He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.

They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.

He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.

Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.

He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.

He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.

He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,

And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.

He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.

He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.

The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.

And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:

And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;

That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.
