PSALMS 105

1 Alleluia. Acknowledge ye to the Lord, and inwardly call ye his name; tell ye his works among heathen men . 2 Sing ye to him, and say ye psalm to him, and tell ye all his marvels; 3 be ye praised in his holy name. The heart of men seeking the Lord be glad; 4 seek ye the Lord, and be ye con-firmed; seek ye ever[more] his face. 5 Have ye mind on his marvels, which he did; on his great wonders, and dooms of his mouth. 6 The seed of Abraham, his servant; the sons of Jacob, his chosen man. 7 He is our Lord God; his dooms be in all the earth. 8 He was mindful of his testament into the world; of the word which he commanded into a thousand gener-ations. 9 Which he disposed to Abraham; and of his oath to Isaac. 10 And he ordained it to Jacob into a commandment; and to Israel into everlasting testament. 11 And he said, I shall give to thee the land of Canaan; the cord of your heritage. 12 When they were in a little number; and the comelings of them were full few. 13 And they passed from folk into folk; and from a realm into another people. 14 He left not a man to annoy them; and he chastised kings for them. 15 Saying, Do not ye touch my christs; and do not ye do wickedly among my prophets. 16 And God called hunger on earth; and he wasted all the steadfastness of bread. 17 He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold into a servant. 18 They made low his feet in fetters, iron passed by [or through] his soul; 19 till the word of him came. The speech of the Lord enflamed him; 20 the king sent and unbound him; the prince of peoples sent and delivered him. 21 He ordained him lord of his house; and prince of all his possessions. 22 That he should learn [or teach] his princes as himself; and that he should teach his eld [or old] men prudence. 23 And Israel entered into Egypt; and Jacob was a comeling in the land of Ham. 24 And God increased his people greatly; and made them steadfast on his enemies. 25 He turned the heart of them, that they hated his people; and did guile [or treachery] against his servants. 26 He sent Moses, his servant; [and] that Aaron, whom he chose. 27 He putted [or put] in them to tell and to do the words of his miracles; and of his great wonders in the land of Ham. 28 He sent darknesses, and made it dark; and he made not bitter his words. 29 He turned the waters of them into blood; and he killed the fishes of them. 30 And the land of them gave pad-docks; in the privy places of the kings of them. 31 God said, and a flesh fly [or hound flea] came; and gnats in all the coasts of them. 32 He setted [or put] their rains into hail; fire burning in the land of them. 33 And he smote the vines of them, and the fig trees of them; and all-brake the trees of the coasts of them. 34 He said, and the locust came; and a bruchus of which there was no number. 35 And it ate all the hay in the land of them; and it ate all the fruit of the land of them. 36 And he killed each the first engen-dered thing in the land of them; the first fruits of all the travail of them. 37 And he led out them with silver and gold; and none was sick in the lineages of them. 38 Egypt was glad in the going out of them; for the dread of them lay on Egyptians. 39 He spreaded abroad a cloud, into the covering of them; and fire, that it shined to them by night. 40 They asked, and a curlew came; and he [ful] filled them with the bread of heaven. 41 He brake the stone, and waters flowed; floods went forth in the dry place. 42 For he was mindful of his holy word; which he had to Abraham, his servant. 43 And he led out his people in full out joying; and his chosen men in gladness. 44 And he gave to them the countries of heathen men; and they had in possession the travails of peoples. 45 That they keep his justifyings; and keep his law.
