Psalm 104–107

Psalm 104

^1aBless the Lord, O my soul.

O Lord my God, ^bthou art very great;

^cThou art clothed with ^dhonour and majesty.

²Who coverest thyself with ^elight as with a garment:

Who ^fstretchest out the heavens like ^ga curtain:

³Who ^hlayeth the beams of his ⁱchambers ^jin the waters:

Who maketh ^kthe clouds his chariot:

Who walketh ^lupon the wings of the wind:

^4mWho maketh his angels spirits;

ⁿHis ministers a flaming ^ofire:

^5†pWho laid the foundations of the earth,

That ^qit should not be removed for ever.

^6rThou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment:

The waters stood above the mountains.

^7sAt thy rebuke they fled;

At ^tthe voice of thy thunder they ^uhasted away.

^8||They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys

Unto ^xthe place which thou hast ^pfounded for them.

^9xThou hast set ^ya bound that they may not pass over;

^zThat they turn not again to cover the earth.

^10†He sendeth the springs into the valleys,

Which ^†run among the hills.

¹¹They ^agive drink to every beast of the field:

The ^bwild asses ^†quench their thirst.

¹²By them shall ^cthe fowls of the heaven have their habitation,

Which ^†sing among the branches.

¹³He ^awatereth the hills from his ⁱchambers:

^dThe earth ^pis satisfied with ^ethe fruit of thy works.

^14fHe causeth the ^ggrass to grow for the cattle,

And ^hherb for the service of man:

That he may bring forth ^fifood out of the earth;

¹⁵And ^kwine that ^lmaketh glad the heart of man,

And ^m†oil to make his face to shine,

And bread which ⁿstrengtheneth man’s heart.

^16oThe trees of the Lord ^pare full of sap;

^qThe cedars of Lebanon, ^rwhich he hath planted;

¹⁷Where the birds make their nests:

As for the ^sstork, the fir trees are her house.

¹⁸The high hills are a refuge for the ^twild goats;

And the rocks for the ^uconies.

¹⁹He appointed the moon ^xfor seasons:

^yThe sun knoweth his going down.

^20zThou makest darkness, and it is night:

Wherein ^†all the beasts of the forest do ⁱcreep forth.

²¹The ^ayoung lions roar after their ^aprey,

And ^bseek their meat from God.

²²The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together,

And lay them down in their ^cdens.

^23dMan goeth forth unto ^ehis work

And to his labour until the evening.

²⁴O Lord, how manifold are thy works!

^fIn wisdom hast thou made them all:

The earth is full of thy ^griches.

²⁵So is this great and ^hwide sea,

ⁱWherein are things creeping innumerable,

Both small and great beasts.

²⁶There go the ships:

There is that ^kleviathan, whom thou hast ^†made to ^lplay therein.

²⁷These ^mwait all upon thee;

That thou mayest ^mngive them their meat in due season.

²⁸That thou givest them they gather:

ⁿⁿThou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

^29oThou hidest thy face, they are troubled:

^pThou takest away their breath, they die,

And ^pqreturn to their dust.

³⁰Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created:

And thou renewest the face of the earth.

³¹The glory of the Lord ^†shall endure for ever:

^rThe Lord shall rejoice in his works.

³²He looketh on the earth, and ^sit trembleth:

He ^ttoucheth the hills, and they smoke.

³³I will sing unto the Lord ^uas long as I live:

I will sing praise to my God ^uwhile I have my being.

³⁴My ^xmeditation of him shall be sweet:

I will be glad in the Lord.

³⁵Let ^ythe sinners be consumed out of the earth,

And let the wicked be no more.

^zBless thou the Lord, O my soul.

^aPraise ye the Lord.

Psalm 105

^1aO ^bgive thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name:

^bbMake known his deeds among the people.

²Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him:

Talk ye of all his wondrous works.

³Glory ye in his holy name:

Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.

⁴Seek the Lord, and his ^cstrength:

Seek his face evermore.

⁵Remember his ^dmarvellous works that he hath done;

His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

⁶O ye seed of ^eAbraham his servant,

Ye children of Jacob ^ehis chosen.

⁷He is the Lord our God:

His judgments are in all the earth.

⁸He hath ^fremembered his covenant for ever,

The word which he commanded ^gto a thousand generations.

^9fWhich covenant he made with Abraham,

And his oath unto Isaac;

¹⁰And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law,

And to Israel for an everlasting covenant:

^11hSaying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,

^†The lot of your inheritance:

¹²When ⁱthey were but ^ja few men in number;

Yea, very few, and strangers in it.

¹³When they went from one nation to another,

From one kingdom to another people;

¹⁴He suffered no man to do them wrong:

Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;

^15hSaying, ^kTouch not mine anointed,

And do my prophets no harm.

¹⁶Moreover ^lhe called for a famine upon the land:

He ^mbrake the whole ^mstaff of bread.

¹⁷ⁿHe sent a man before them,

Even Joseph, who ^owas sold for a servant:

^18pWhose feet they hurt with ^qfetters:

^†He was laid in iron:

¹⁹Until the time that ^shis word came:

^tThe word of the Lord ^utried him.

^20wThe king sent and ^xloosed him;

Even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.

^21yHe made him lord of his house,

And ruler of all his ^†substance:

^22zTo bind his princes ^aat his pleasure;

And teach his senators wisdom.

^23bIsrael also came into Egypt;

And Jacob sojourned ^cin the land of Ham.

²⁴And ^dhe increased his people greatly;

And made them stronger than their enemies.

^25eHe turned their heart to hate his people,

To ^fdeal subtilly with his servants.

^26gHe sent Moses his servant;

And ^gAaron ^hwhom he had chosen.

²⁷ⁱThey shewed ^†his signs among them,

And ^jwonders ^cin the land of Ham.

^28kHe sent darkness, and ^lmade it dark;

And ^mthey rebelled not against his word.

²⁹ⁿHe turned their waters into blood,

And slew their fish.

^30oTheir land ^pbrought forth frogs in abundance,

In the ^qchambers of their kings.

^31wHe spake, and there came ^rdivers sorts of flies,

And ^slice in all their coasts.

^32t†He gave them hail for rain,

And flaming ^ufire in their land.

^33tHe smote their vines also and their fig trees;

And brake the trees of their coasts.

^34wHe spake, and the ^xlocusts came,

And ^ycaterpillers, and that without number,

³⁵And did ^zeat up all the herbs in their land,

And ^zdevoured the fruit of their ground.

^36aHe smote also all the firstborn in their land,

^aThe chief of all their strength.

³⁷He brought them forth also ^bwith silver and gold:

And there was not one ^cfeeble person among their tribes.

^38dEgypt was glad when they departed:

For ^ethe fear of them fell upon them.

^39fHe ^gspread a cloud for a covering;

And fire to give light in the night.

⁴⁰The people ^hasked, and ⁱhe brought quails,

And satisfied them with ^kthe bread of heaven.

^41lHe opened the rock, and ^mthe waters gushed out;

They ran in the ⁿdry places like a river.

⁴²For ^ohe remembered his holy promise,

And Abraham his servant.

⁴³And he brought forth his people with joy,

And ^phis chosen with ^†gladness:

⁴⁴And ^qgave them the lands of the heathen:

And they inherited ^qthe labour of the people;

^45rThat they might observe his statutes,

And ^skeep his laws.

^†Praise ye the Lord.

Psalm 106

^1†Praise ye the Lord.

^aO give thanks unto the Lord; ^bfor he is good:

^cFor his mercy endureth for ever.

²Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord?

Who can shew forth all his praise?

³Blessed are they that keep judgment,

And he that ^edoeth righteousness ^fat all times.

^4gRemember me, O Lord, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people:

O visit me with thy salvation;

⁵That I may see the good of ^hthy chosen,

That I may rejoice in the gladness of ⁱthy nation,

That I may glory with thine inheritance.

⁶We have ^ksinned ^lwith our fathers,

^kmWe have committed iniquity, ^knwe have done wickedly.

⁷Our fathers ^ounderstood not thy wonders in Egypt;

They ^premembered not the multitude of thy mercies;

But ^qprovoked him at the sea, even at ^rthe Red sea.

⁸Nevertheless he saved them ^sfor his name’s sake,

That he ^tmight make his mighty power to be known.

^9uHe ^wrebuked the Red sea also, and it was ^xdried up:

So ^yhe led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.

¹⁰And ^zhe saved them from the hand of him that hated them,

And ^aredeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

¹¹And ^bthe waters covered their enemies:

^cThere was not one of them left.

¹²Then ^dbelieved they his words;

They ^dsang his praise.

^13e†They soon forgat his works;

They ^fwaited not for his counsel:

^14gBut ^†lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,

And ^htempted God in ⁱthe desert.

¹⁵And ^jhe gave them their request;

But sent ^kleanness into their soul.

^16lThey envied Moses also in the camp,

And ^mAaron the saint of the Lord.

¹⁷ⁿThe earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,

And ^ocovered ⁿthe company of Abiram.

¹⁸And ^pa fire was kindled in their company;

^qThe flame burned up ^rthe wicked.

^19sThey made a calf ^tin Horeb,

And worshipped the molten image.

²⁰Thus ^uthey changed their glory

Into ^xthe similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

²¹They ^yforgat God their saviour,

Which had done ^zgreat things in Egypt;

²²Wondrous works in the land ^aof Ham,

And ^zterrible things by ^bthe Red sea.

^23cTherefore ^dhe said that he would destroy them,

Had not Moses ^ehis chosen stood before him ^fin the breach,

To turn away his wrath, ^glest he should destroy them.

²⁴Yea, ^hthey despised ^†the pleasant land,

They ⁱbelieved not his word:

^25kBut ^lmurmured in their tents,

And hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord.

²⁶Therefore ^mhe lifted up his hand against them,

^†To overthrow them in the wilderness:

^27†To overthrow their seed also among the nations,

And to ⁿscatter them in the lands.

²⁸They ^ojoined themselves also unto ^pBaal-peor,

And ^qate the sacrifices of ^rthe dead.

²⁹Thus they provoked him to anger with ^stheir inventions:

And the plague brake in upon them.

³⁰Then ^tstood up Phinehas, and ^uexecuted judgment:

And so ^tthe plague was stayed.

³¹And ^wthat was counted unto him for righteousness

Unto all generations for evermore.

^32xThey ^yangered him also at the waters of strife,

^zSo that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

³³Because they ^aprovoked his spirit,

^bSo that he ^cspake unadvisedly with his lips.

^34dThey did not destroy the nations,

Concerning whom ^ethe Lord commanded them:

^35fBut were mingled among the heathen,

And learned their works.

³⁶And ^gthey served their idols:

^hWhich were a snare unto them.

³⁷Yea, ⁱthey sacrificed their sons

And their daughters unto ^kdevils,

³⁸And shed innocent blood,

Even the blood of…
