Psalm 105

1 He praiſeth the ſingular grace of God, who hathe of all the people of the worlde choſen a peculiar people to himſelf, and hauing choſen them, neuer ceaſeth to do them good, euen for his promes ſake.
1.P Raiſe ye Lord, & call vpon his Name: declare his workes amõg the people.
2.Sing vnto him, ſing praiſe vnto him, & talke of all his wonderous workes.
3.Reioyce in his holie Name: let the heart of them that ſeke the Lord, reioyce.
4.Seke the Lord & his ſtrength: ſeke his face continually.
5.Remembre his maruelous workes, that he hathe done, his wonders and the iudgements of his mouth,
6.Ye ſede of Abrahám his ſeruant, ye children of Iaakób, which are his elect.
7.He is the Lord our God: his iudgements are through all the earth.
8.He hathe alwaie remembred his couenant & promes, that he made to a thouſand generacions,
9.Euen that which he made with Abrahám and his othe vnto Izhák:
10.And ſince hathe confirmed it to Iaakób for a law, & to Iſraél for an euerlaſting couenant,
11.Saying, Vnto thee wil I giue the land of Canáan, the lot of your inheritance.
12.Albeit thei were fewe in nomber, yea, verie fewe & ſtrangers in the land,
13.And walked about from nacion to naciõ, from one kingdome to anothér people,
14.Yet ſuffred he no man to do them wrong, but reproued Kĩgs for their ſakes, ſaying,
15.Touche not mine anointed, and do my Prophetes no harme.
16.Moreouer he called a famine vpon the land, & vtterly brake the ſtaf of bread.
17.But he ſent a man before them: Ioſeph was ſolde for a ſlaue.
18.Thei helde his fete in the ſtockes, & he was laied in yrons,
19.Vntil his appointed time came, & the counſel of the Lord had tryed him.
20.The King ſent and loſed him: euen the Ruler of the people deliuered him.
21.He made him Lord of his houſe, and ruler of all his ſubſtance,
22.That he shulde binde his princes vnto his wil, & teache his Ancients wiſdome.
23.Then Iſraél came to Egypt, and Iaakób was a ſtranger in the land of Ham.
24.And he increaſed his people excedingly, and made them ſtronger then their oppreſſers.
25.He turned their heart to hate his people, and to deale craftely with his ſeruants.
26.Then ſent he Moſés his ſeruant, & Aarón whome he had choſen.
27.Thei shewed among them the meſſage of his ſignes, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28.He ſent darkenes, and made it darke: and thei were not diſobedient vnto his commiſsion.
29.He turned their waters into blood, and ſlewe their fiſh.
30.Their land broght forthe frogs, euen in their Kings chambers.
31.He ſpake, & there came ſwarmes of flies & lice in all their quarters.
32.He gaue them haile for raine, & flames of fyre in their land.
33.He ſmote their vines alſo and their figtrees, and brake downe the trees in their coaſtes.
34.He ſpake, and the graſhoppers came, & caterpillers innumerable,
35.And did eat vp all the graſſe in their lãd, and deuoured the frute of their grounde.
36.He ſmote alſo all the firſt borne in their land, euen the beginning of all their ſtrength.
37.He broght them forthe alſo with ſiluer and golde, and there was none feble a mong their tribes.
38.Egypt was glad at their departing: for the feare of them had fallen vpon them.
39.He ſpred a cloude to be a couering, and fyre to giue light in the night.
40.They aſked, and he broght quailes, & he filled them with the bread of heauẽ.
41.He opened the rocke, and the waters flowed out, and ran in the drye places like a riuer.
42.For he remembred his holie promes to Abrahám his ſeruant,
43.And he broght forthe his people with ioye, & his choſen with gladnes,
44.And gaue them the lands of the heathẽ, and they toke the labours of the people in poſſeſsion,
45.That they might kepe his ſtatutes, and obſerue his Lawes. Praiſe ye the Lord.
