Psalm 105
1 O praise the Lord, call on his name;
‘mong people show his facts.
2 Sing unto him, sing psalms to him:
talk of all’s wondrous acts.
3 Let their hearts joy, that seek the Lord:
boast in his holy name.
4 The Lord seek, and his strength: his face
always seek ye the same.
5 Those admirable works that he
hath done remember you:
his wonders, and the judgments which
do from his mouth issue.
6 O ye his servant Abr’ham’s seed:
sons of choice Jacob ye.
7 He is the Lord our God: in all
the earth his judgments be.
8 His covenant for evermore,
and his commanded word,
a thousand generations to
he doth in mind record.
9 Which he with Abr’ham made, and his oath
10 to Isaac. Made it fast,
a law to Jacob: and Isr’el
a cov’nant aye to last.
11 He said, I’ll give thee Canaan’s land:
by lot, heirs to be there.
12 When few, yea very few in count
and strangers in it they were.
13 When they did from one nation
unto another pass:
when from one kingdom their goings
to other people was,
14 He suffer’d none to do them wrong:
kings check’d he for their sake:
15 Touch not mine ‘nointed ones; none ill
unto my prophets make.
16 He call’d for famine on the land,
all staff of bread brake he.
17 Before them sent a man: Joseph
sold for a slave to be.
18 Whose feet they did with fetters hurt:
in iron his soul did lie.
19 Until the time that his word came:
the Lord’s word did him try.
20 The king the people’s ruler sent,
loos’d him and let him go.
21 He made him Lord of all his house:
of all’s wealth ruler too:
22 At’s will to bind his peers: and teach
23 his ancients’ skill. Then came
Isr’el to Egypt: and Jacob
sojourn’d i’th land of Ham.
24 He much increas’d his folk: and made
them stronger than their foe.
25 Their heart he turn’d his folk to hate
to’s servants crafts to show.
26 Moses his servant he did send:
and Aaron whom he chose.
27 His signs and wonders them amongst,
they in Ham’s land disclose.
28 He darkness sent, and made it dark:
nor did they’s word gainsay.
29 He turn’d their waters into blood:
and he their fish did slay.
30 Great store of frogs their land brought forth
in chambers of their kings.
31 He spake, there came mix’d swarms, and lice
in all their coasts he brings.
32 He gave them hail for rain: and in
their land fires flame did make.
33 And smote their vines and their fig trees:
and their coast trees he brake.
34 He spake, and then the locusts came:
and caterpillars, such
the number of them was as none
could reckon up how much,
35 And ate all their land’s herbs: and did
fruit of their ground devour.
36 All first born in their land he smote:
the chief of all their power.
37 With silver also and with gold
he them from thence did bring:
and among all their tribes there was
not any one weakling.
38 Egypt was glad when out they went:
for on them fell their dread.
39 A cloud for cov’ring, and a fire
to light the night he spread.
