Psalms:105
Seeker Overlay ON
*
O give thanks to Jehovah !
Call upon his name .
Make his work known among the people .
*
Sing to him ,
give praise to him !
Declare all his wondrous works .
*
Praise his holy name !
Let the heart of those rejoice who seek Jehovah .
*
Seek Jehovah and seek his strength .
Seek his presence constantly !
*
Remember the marvelous works that he has done ,
his wonders ,
and the judgments of his mouth .
*
You seed of Abraham his servant ,
you children of Jacob his chosen ones .
*
He is Jehovah our God :
his judgments are in all the earth .
*
He has remembered his covenant forever !
It is the word he commanded to a thousand generations .
*
He made this covenant with Abraham and gave his oath to Isaac .
*
He confirmed the same to Jacob for a law ,
and to Israel for an everlasting covenant .
*
He said : »
I will give the land of Canaan ,
the lot of your inheritance to you .«
*
They were a few men in number ,
very few ,
and strangers in it .
*
They went from one nation to another ,
from one kingdom to another people .
*
He permitted no man to do them wrong and he reproved kings for their sakes .
*
He said : »
Do not touch my anointed ,
and do my prophets no harm .«
*
Furthermore ,
he called for a famine on the land :
he broke the whole staff of bread .
*
He sent a man before them ,
Joseph ,
who was sold for a servant .
*
Whose feet they hurt with fetters :
he was laid in iron :
*
Jehovah
s presence tested him through fiery trials until the time that his word came .
*
The king sent someone to release him .
The ruler of nations set him free .
*
He made Joseph the master of his palace and the ruler of all his possessions .
*
Joseph trained the king '
s officers the way he wanted and taught his respected leaders wisdom .
*
Then Israel came to Egypt .
Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham .
*
Jehovah made his people grow rapidly in number and stronger than their enemies .
*
He changed their minds so that they hated his people ,
and they dealt treacherously with his servants .
*
He sent his servant Moses ,
and he sent Aaron ,
whom he had chosen .
*
They displayed his miraculous signs among them and did amazing things in the land of Ham .
*
He sent darkness and made their land dark .
They did not rebel against his orders .
*
He turned their water into blood and caused their fish to die .
*
He made their land swarm with frogs ,
even in the kings '
bedrooms .
*
He spoke ,
and swarms of flies and gnats infested their entire territory .
*
He gave them hail and lightning instead of rain throughout their land .
*
He struck their grapevines and fig trees and smashed the trees in their territory .
*
He spoke ,
and countless locusts and grasshoppers came .
*
They devoured all the plants in the land .
They devoured the crops in the fields .
*
He killed all the firstborn sons ,
the first ones born in the land when their fathers were young .
*
He brought Israel out with silver and gold ,
and no one among his tribes stumbled .
*
The Egyptians were terrified of Israel ,
so they were glad when Israel left .
*
He spread out a cloud as a protective covering and a fire to light up the night .
*
The Israelites asked ,
and he brought them quail and filled them with bread from heaven .
*
He opened a rock ,
and water flowed like a river through the dry places .
*
He remembered his holy word to his servant Abraham .
*
He brought his people out with joy ,
his chosen ones with a song of joy .
*
He gave them the lands of other nations .
They inherited what others had worked for .
*
Then they would obey his laws and follow his teachings .
Praise Jehovah !
