Psalms 105 — parallel

105:1

O give thanks unto the LORD, call upon His name; Make known His doings among the peoples.

—

105:2

Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; Speak ye of all His marvellous works.

—

105:3

Glory ye in His holy name; Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

—

105:4

Seek ye the LORD and His strength; Seek His face continually.

—

105:5

Remember His marvellous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth;

—

105:6

O ye seed of Abraham His servant, Ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones.

—

105:7

He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

—

105:8

He hath remembered His covenant for ever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations;

—

105:9

[The covenant] which He made with Abraham, And His oath unto Isaac;

—

105:10

And He established it unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant;

—

105:11

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

—

105:12

When they were but a few men in number. Yea, very few, and sojourners in it,

—

105:13

And when they went about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people,

—

105:14

He suffered no man to do them wrong, Yea, for their sake He reproved kings:

—

105:15

'Touch not Mine anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm.'

—

105:16

And He called a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.

—

105:17

He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant;

—

105:18

His feet they hurt with fetters, His person was laid in iron;

—

105:19

Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of the LORD tested him.

—

105:20

The king sent and loosed him; Even the ruler of the peoples, and set him free.

—

105:21

He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all his possessions;

—

105:22

To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his elders wisdom.

—

105:23

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

—

105:24

And He increased His people greatly, And made them too mighty for their adversaries.

—

105:25

He turned their heart to hate His people, To deal craftily with His servants.

—

105:26

He sent Moses His servant, And Aaron whom He had chosen.

—

105:27

They wrought among them His manifold signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.

—

105:28

He sent darkness, and it was dark; And they rebelled not against His word.

—

105:29

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

—

105:30

Their land swarmed with frogs, In the chambers of their kings.

—

105:31

He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, And gnats in all their borders.

—

105:32

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

—

105:33

He smote their vines also and their fig-trees; And broke the trees of their borders.

—

105:34

He spoke, and the locust came, And the canker-worm without number,

—

105:35

And did eat up every herb in their land, And did eat up the fruit of their ground.

—

105:36

He smote also all the first-born in their land, The first-fruits of all their strength.

—

105:37

And He brought them forth with silver and gold; And there was none that stumbled among His tribes.

—

105:38

Egypt was glad when they departed; For the fear of them had fallen upon them.

—

105:39

He spread a cloud for a screen; And fire to give light in the night.

—

105:40

They asked, and He brought quails, And gave them in plenty the bread of heaven.

—

105:41

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

—

105:42

For He remembered His holy word Unto Abraham His servant;

—

105:43

And He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with singing.

—

105:44

And He gave them the lands of the nations, And they took the labour of the peoples in possession;

—

105:45

That they might keep His statutes, And observe His laws. Hallelujah.
