Psalm 105. Confitemini Domino.

1. O GIVE thanks unto the Lord, and call upon his Name; *
   tell the people what things he hath done.
2. O let your songs be of him, and praise him; *
   and let your talking be of all his wondrous works.
3. Rejoice in his holy Name; *
   let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
4. Seek the Lord and his strength; *
   seek his face evermore.
5. Remember the marvellous works that he hath done; *
   his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6. O ye seed of Abraham his servant, *
   ye children of Jacob his chosen.
7. He is the Lord our God; *
   his judgments are in all the world.
8. He hath been alway mindful of his covenant and promise, *
   that he made to a thousand generations;
9. Even the covenant that he made with Abraham; *
   and the oath that he sware unto Isaac;
10. And appointed the same unto Jacob for a law, *
    and to Israel for an everlasting testament;
11. Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, *
    the lot of your inheritance:
12. When there were yet but a few of them, *
    and they strangers in the land;
13. What time as they went from one nation to another, *
    from one kingdom to another people;
14. He suffered no man to do them wrong, *
    but reproved even kings for their sakes;
15. Touch not mine anointed, *
    and do my prophets no harm.
16. Moreover, he called for a dearth upon the land, *
    and destroyed all the provision of bread.
17. But he had sent a man before them, *
    even Joseph, who was sold to be a bond-servant;
18. Whose feet they hurt in the stocks; *
    the iron entered into his soul;
19. Until the time came that his cause was known: *
    the word of the Lord tried him.
20. The king sent, and delivered him; *
    the prince of the people let him go free.
21. He made him lord also of his house, *
    and ruler of all his substance;
22. That he might inform his princes after his will, *
    and teach his senators wisdom.
23. Israel also came into Egypt, *
    and Jacob was a stranger in the land of Ham.
24. And he increased his people exceedingly, *
    and made them stronger than their enemies;
25. Whose heart turned so, that they hated his people, *
    and dealt untruly with his servants.
26. Then sent he Moses his servant, *
    and Aaron whom he had chosen.
27. And these showed his tokens among them, *
    and wonders in the land of Ham.
28. He sent darkness, and it was dark; *
    and they were not obedient unto his word.
29. He turned their waters into blood, *
    and slew their fish.
30. Their land brought forth frogs; *
    yea, even in their kings' chambers.
31. He spake the word, and there came all manner of flies, *
    and lice in all their quarters.
32. He gave them hailstones for rain; *
    and flames of fire in their land.
33. He smote their vines also and fig-trees; *
    and destroyed the trees that were in their coasts.
34. He spake the word, and the grasshoppers came, and caterpillars innumerable, *
    and did eat up all the grass in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
35. He smote all the firstborn in their land; *
    even the chief of all their strength.
36. He brought them forth also with silver and gold; *
    there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
37. Egypt was glad at their departing; *
    for they were afraid of them.
38. He spread out a cloud to be a covering, *
    and fire to give light in the night season.
39. At their desire he brought quails; *
    and he filled them with the bread of heaven.
40. He opened the rock of stone, and the waters flowed out, *
    so that rivers ran in the dry places.
41. For why? he remembered his holy promise; *
    and Abraham his servant.
42. And he brought forth his people with joy, *
    and his chosen with gladness;
43. And gave them the lands of the heathen; *
    and they took the labours of the people in possession;
44. That they might keep his statutes, *
    and observe his laws.
