Psalms 105

1O give praise to the Lord; give honour to his name, talking of his doings among the peoples.

1O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.

2Let your voice be sounding in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.

2Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.

3Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad.

3Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.

4Let your search be for the Lord and for his strength; let your hearts ever be turned to him.

4Seek the Lord, and his strength: seek his face evermore.

5Keep in mind the great works which he has done; his wonders, and the decisions of his mouth;

5Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

6O you seed of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his loved ones.

6O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.

7He is the Lord our God: he is judge of all the earth.

7He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.

8He has kept his agreement in mind for ever, the word which he gave for a thousand generations;

8He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

9The agreement which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac;

9Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;

10And he gave it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an eternal agreement;

10And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:

11Saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan, the measured line of your heritage:

11Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:

12When they were still small in number, and strange in the land;

12When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.

13When they went about from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another people.

13When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;

14He would not let anyone do them wrong; he even kept back kings because of them,

14He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;

15Saying, Put not your hand on those who have been marked with my holy oil, and do my prophets no wrong.

15Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

16And he took away all food from the land, so that the people were without bread.

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 given as a servant for a price:

17He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:

18His feet were fixed in chains; his neck was put in iron bands;

18Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:

19Till the time when his word came true; he was tested by the word of the Lord.

19Until the time that his word came: the word of the Lord tried him.

20The king sent men to take off his chains; even the ruler of the people, who let him go free.

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 over everything he had;

21He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:

22To give his chiefs teaching at his pleasure, and so that his law-givers might get wisdom from him.

22To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.

23Then Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob was living in the land of Ham.

23Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

24And his people were greatly increased, and became stronger than those who were against them.

24And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.

25Their hearts were turned to hate against his people, so that they made secret designs against them.

25He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.

26He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, the man of his selection.

26He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.

27He let his signs be seen among the people, and his wonders in the land of Ham.

27They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

28He sent black night and made it dark; and they did not go against his word.

28He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.

29At his word their waters were turned to blood, and he sent death on all their fish.

29He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.

30Their land was full of frogs, even in the rooms of the king.

30Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.

31He gave the word, and there came the dog-fly, and insects over all the land.

31He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.

32He gave them ice for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

32He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

33He gave their vines and their fig-trees to destruction, and the trees of their land were broken down.

33He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.

34At his word the locusts came, and young locusts more than might be numbered,

34He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,

35And put an end to all the plants of their land, taking all the fruit of the earth for food.

35And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

36He put to death the first child of every family in the land, the first-fruits of their strength.

36He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.

37He took his people out with silver and gold: there was not one feeble person among them.

37He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

38Egypt was glad when they went; for the fear of them had come down on them.

38Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.

39A cloud was stretched over them for a cover; and he sent fire to give light in the night.

39He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.

40At the people's request he sent birds, and gave them the bread of heaven for food.

40The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

41His hand made the rock open, and the waters came streaming out; they went down through the dry places like a river.

41He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

42For he kept in mind his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.

42For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.

43And he took his people out with joy, the men of his selection with glad cries:

43And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:

44And gave them the lands of the nations; and they took the work of the peoples for a heritage;

44And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;

45So that they might keep his orders, and be true to his laws. Give praise to the Lord.

45That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the Lord.
