PSALM 105

The LORD Remembers His Covenant

Alleluiah.

1Make acknowledgment to the lord, and call upon   his name! Report among the nations   of his works! 2Sing to him, and strum to him! Describe all   his wonders! 3Applaud in   [²name   ¹his holy]! Let [⁵be glad ¹the heart ²seeking ³the ⁴ lord]! 4Seek the lord, and be fortified! Seek   his face always! 5You should remember   his wonders of which he did;   his miracles, and the judgments   of his mouth; 6seed of Abraham his servants; sons of Jacob his chosen. 7He is the lord    our God; [²are in ³all ⁴the ⁵earth   ¹his judgments]. 8He remembered [²into ³the ⁴eon ¹his covenant]; the word which he gave charge for a thousand of generations; 9which he ordained with  Abraham, and   his oath to  Isaac. 10And he established it to  Jacob for an order, and to  Israel for [²covenant ¹an eternal], 11saying, To you I give the land of Canaan, a piece of measured out land for your inheritance. 12In   their being [²in number ¹few], very few, and sojourners in it; 13that they went from nation to nation, and from a kingdom to [²people ¹another]. 14He did not let a man wrong them; and he reproved [²for ³them ¹kings], saying, 15Do not touch   my anointed ones! and among   my prophets do not do wickedly! 16And he called famine upon the land; [²all ³reliance ⁴on bread ¹he broke]. 17He sent in front of them a man; [³for ⁴a servant ²was sold ¹Joseph]. 18They humbled [²with ³shackles   ¹his feet]; [³iron ²went through   ¹his soul]; 19until   [²came   ¹his word]; the oracle of the lord  purified him. 20[²sent ¹The king] and untied him, even a ruler of the people, and let him go. 21He placed him as master   of his house, and ruler of all   his possessions; 22  to instruct   his rulers as he himself, and   [²his elders ¹to make] wise. 23And Israel entered into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. 24And [²grew   ¹his people] exceedingly; and he fortified it above   his enemies. 25He converted   his heart   to detest   his people;   to use deceit with   his servants. 26He sent out Moses   his servant; Aaron whom he chose for himself. 27He put among them the matters   of his signs, and   of his miracles in the land of Ham. 28He sent out darkness, and it darkened; and they rebelled against   his words. 29He converted   their waters into blood, and killed   their fishes. 30[²crept forth   ³in their land ¹Frogs]; in the closets   of their kings. 31He spoke, and there came the dog-fly and midges in all   their borders. 32He made   their rains into hail, and fire burning up in   their land. 33And he struck   their grapevines, and   their fig-trees; and he broke every tree of their border. 34He spoke, and there came forth the locust and grasshopper, of which there was no number. 35And they devoured all the grass in   their land, and devoured the fruit   of their land. 36And he struck every first-born in   their land, first-fruit of all their toil. 37And he led them out with silver and gold; and there was not one among   their tribes   being weak. 38Egypt was glad in   their exodus; for [⁴fell ¹the ²fear ³of them] upon them. 39He opened and spread out a cloud for their protection, and fire   to give light to them   at night. 40They asked for, and [²came ¹the mother-quail], and the bread of heaven filled them. 41He tore open the rock, and [²flowed ¹the waters]; [²went ³to ⁴waterless places  ¹rivers]. 42For he remembered   [²word   ¹his holy]   spoken to Abraham   his servant. 43And he led out   his people in exultation, and   his chosen ones in gladness. 44And he gave to them the places of nations, and produce of the toils of the peoples that they inherited; 45so that they should guard   his ordinances, and   [²his law ¹seek after].
