Chapître 105

1

O give thanks⁵⁴ unto the LORD; call³ upon his name: make known⁵⁴ his deeds among the people.

2

 Sing³ unto him, sing psalms¹⁶ unto him: talk³ ye of all his wondrous works.¹²

3

 Glory¹⁰⁰ ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice⁴ that seek¹⁸ the LORD.

4

 Seek³ the LORD, and his strength: seek¹⁶ his face evermore.

5

 Remember³ his marvellous works¹² that he hath done;¹ 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 earth.

8

He hath remembered¹ his covenant for ever, the word [which] he commanded¹⁴ to a thousand generations.

9

Which [covenant] he made¹ with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;

10

And confirmed⁵⁵ the same unto Jacob for a law, [and] to Israel [for] an everlasting covenant:

11

 Saying,² Unto thee will I give⁴ the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:

12

When they were [but] a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers⁶ in it.

13

When they went¹⁰¹ from one nation to another, from [one] kingdom to another people;

14

He suffered⁵² no man to do them wrong:² yea, he reproved⁵⁵ kings for their sakes;

15

[Saying], Touch⁴ not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.⁵⁵

16

Moreover he called⁴ for a famine upon the land: he brake¹ the whole staff of bread.

17

He sent¹ a man before them, [even] Joseph, [who] was sold⁸ for a servant:

18

Whose feet they hurt¹⁴ with fetters: he was laid¹ in iron:

19

Until the time that his word came:² the word of the LORD tried¹ him.

20

The king sent¹ and loosed⁵⁵ him; [even] the ruler⁶ of the people, and let him go free.¹⁷

21

He made¹ him lord of his house, and ruler⁶ of all his substance:

22

To bind² his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.¹⁷

23

 Israel also came⁴ into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned¹ in the land of Ham.

24

And he increased⁵⁵ his people greatly; and made them stronger⁵⁵ than their enemies.

25

He turned¹ their heart to hate² his people, to deal subtilly⁹⁹ with his servants.

26

He sent¹ Moses his servant; [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.¹

27

They shewed¹ his signs ¹⁶⁹⁷ among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

28

He sent¹ darkness, and made it dark;⁵⁵ and they rebelled¹ not against his word.

29

He turned¹ their waters into blood, and slew⁵⁵ their fish.

30

Their land brought forth frogs in abundance,¹ in the chambers of their kings.

31

He spake,¹ and there came⁴ divers sorts of flies, [and] lice in all their coasts.

32

He gave¹ them hail for rain, [and] flaming fire in their land.

33

He smote⁵⁵ their vines also and their fig trees; and brake¹⁷ the trees of their coasts.

34

He spake,¹ and the locusts came,⁴ and caterpillers, and that without number,

35

And did eat⁴ up all the herbs in their land, and devoured⁴ the fruit of their ground.

36

He smote⁵⁵ also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.

37

He brought them forth⁵⁵ also with silver and gold: and [there was] not one feeble⁶ [person] among their tribes.

38

 Egypt was glad¹ when they departed:² for the fear of them fell¹ upon them.

39

He spread¹ a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light⁵³ in the night.

40

[The people] asked,¹ and he brought⁵⁵ quails, and satisfied⁵⁵ them with the bread of heaven.

41

He opened¹ the rock, and the waters gushed out;⁴ they ran¹ in the dry places [like] a river.

42

For he remembered¹ his holy promise, [and] Abraham his servant.

43

And he brought forth⁵⁵ his people with joy, [and] his chosen with gladness:

44

And gave⁴ them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited⁴ the labour of the people;

45

That they might observe⁴ his statutes, and keep⁴ his laws. Praise¹⁶ ye the LORD.
