Psalms 105
Bishops' Bible
1Confesse you it vnto God, call vppon his name: cause the people to vnderstande his deuises.
2Sing vnto hym, sing psalmes vnto him: talke you of all his wonderous workes.
3Glary ye in his holy name: let the heart of them reioyce that do seeke God.
4Seeke God and his strength: seeke his face euermore.
5Remember the meruaylous workes that he hath done: his wonders, and the iudgementes of his mouth.
6O ye seede of Abraham his seruaunt, ye his chosen chyldren of Iacob:
7he is God our Lord, his iudgementes are in all the earth.
8He hath ben mindfull alwayes of his couenaunt (for he promised a worde to a thousande generations:)
9euen of his couenaunt that he made with Abraham, and of his othe vnto Isaac.
10And he appointed the same vnto Iacob for a law: and to Israel for an euerlasting couenaunt.
11Saying, vnto thee I wyll geue the lande of Chanaan: the lot of your inheritaunce.
12When they were a fewe men in number, and had ben straungers but a litle whyle in it:
13and when they went from one nation to another, from one kingdome to another people.
14He suffred no man to do them wrong: yea he reproued euen kynges for their sakes.
15Touche not mine annoynted: and triumph not ouer my prophetes.
16Moreouer he called for a famine vpon the lande: and he made all maner of foode to fayle.
17But he had sent a man before them: euen Ioseph, who was solde to be a bonde seruaunt.
18Whose feete they dyd hurt in the stockes: the iron entred into his soule.
19Vntill the tyme came that his cause was knowen: the worde of the Lorde tryed hym.
20The king sent and caused hym to be let go: yea the prince of the people opened a way foorth for hym.
21He made him Lorde of his house: and ruler of all his substaunce.
22That he might enfourme his princes according to his minde: and teache his senatours wysdome.
23Israel also came into Egypt: & Iacob was a straunger in the lande of Cham.
24And he encreased his people exceedinglye: and made them stronger then their enemies.
25Whose heart so turned that they hated his people: and dealt subtilly with his seruauntes.
26Then he sent Moyses his seruaunt, and Aaron whom he had chosen:
27they did their message, workyng his signes among them, and wonders in the lande of Cham.
28He sent darknes, & it was darke: and they went not from his wordes.
29He turned their waters into blood: and slue their fishe.
30Their lande brought foorth frogges: yea euen in their kinges chaumbers.
31He spake the worde, and there came a swarme of all maner of flyes: and of lyce in all their quarters.
32He gaue them haylestones for rayne: and flambes of fire in their lande.
33He smote their vines also & figge trees: and he destroyed the trees that were in their coastes.
34He spake the worde, and the grashoppers came: & caterpillers innumerable.
35And they did eate vp all the grasse in their lande: and deuoured the fruite of their grounde.
36He smote al the first borne in their land: euen the first fruites of all their concupiscence.
37He also brought them foorth with siluer and golde: there was not one feeble person in their tribes.
38Egypt was glad at their departing: for they were smytten with dread of them.
39He spred out a cloude to be a couering: and fire to geue light in the night season.
40The people required and he brought quayles: and he filled them with the bread of heauen.
41He opened the rocke of stone and the waters flowed out: so that streames ranne in drye places.
42For he remembred his holy worde: spoken vnto Abraham his seruaunt.
43And he brought foorth his people with gladnes: and his chosen with a ioyfull noyse.
44And he gaue them the landes of the Heathen, and they toke to inheritaunce the labours of the people.
45To the intent that they shoulde kepe his statutes: and obserue his lawes. Prayse ye the Lorde.
