"Oh give
thanks unto Jehovah, call upon His name;
Make known among the peoples His doings.
Sing unto Him,
sing praises unto Him;
Talk ye of all His marvelous works.
Glory ye in
His holy name:
Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
Seek ye Jehovah
and His strength;
Seek His face evermore.
"Remember
His marvelous 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 ones.
He is Jehovah
our God:
His judgments are in all the earth.
He hath remembered
His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,
The covenant
which He made with Abraham,
And His oath unto Isaac,
And confirmed
the same unto Jacob for a statute,
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 sojourners in it.
And they went
about from nation to nation,
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 ones,
And do My prophets no harm.
"And He called
for a famine upon the land;
He brake the whole staff of bread.
He sent a man
before them;
Joseph was sold for a servant:
His feet they
hurt with fetters:
He was laid in chains of iron,
Until the time
that His word came to pass,
The word of Jehovah tried him.
The king sent
and loosed him;
Even the ruler of peoples, 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 elders 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 adversaries.
"He turned
their heart to hate His people,
To deal subtly with His servants.
He sent Moses
His servant,
And Aaron whom He had chosen.
They set among
them His signs,
And wonders in the land of Ham.
He sent darkness,
and made it dark;
And they rebelled not against His words.
He turned their
waters into blood,
And slew their fish.
Their land
swarmed with frogs
In the chambers of their kings.
He spake, and
there came swarms of flies,
And lice in all their borders.
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 borders.
He spake, and
the locust came,
And the grasshopper, and that without number,
And did eat
up every herb in their land,
And did eat up the fruit of their ground.
He smote also
all the first-born in their land,
The chief of all their strength.
"And He brought
them forth with silver and gold;
And there was not one feeble person among His tribes.
Egypt was glad
when they departed;
For the fear of them had fallen upon them.
"He spread a
cloud for a covering,
And fire to give light in the night.
They asked,
and He brought quails,
And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
He opened the
rock, and waters gushed out;
They ran in the dry places like a river.
"For He remembered
His holy word,
And Abraham His servant.
And He brought
forth His people with joy,
And His chosen with singing.
And He gave
them the lands of the nations;
And they took the labor of the peoples in possession:
That they might
keep His statutes,
And observe His laws.
"Praise ye Jehovah." Psalm
105, A. R. V.
