PSAL. CV.

[1]

Give thanks to God, cal on his Name

to men his deeds make known.

2

Sing ye to him, sing psalms; proclaim

his wondrous works each one.

3

See that ye in his holy Name

to glory do accord:
And let the heart of every one
rejoyce, that seeks the Lord.

4

The Lord Almighty, & his strength

with stedfast hearts seek ye
His blessed and his gracious face
seek ye continually.

5

Think on the works that he hath done

which admiration breed;
His wonders; and the judgements all
which from his mouth proceed.

6

O ye that are of Abrahams race,

his servant wel approv'n,
And ye that Jacobs children are,
whom he choos'd for his own,

7

Because he, and he only, is

the mighty Lord, our God;
And his most righteous judgements are
in all the earth abroad.

8

His Covenant he remembred hath

that it may ever stand:
To thousand generations
the word he did command.

9

Which Covenant he firmly made

with faithful Abraham,
And unto Isaac, by his oath
he did renew the same:

10

And unto Jacob, for a Law,

he made it firm and sure,
A Covenant to Israel.
which ever should endure.

11

He said, I'le give Canaans land

for heritage to you:

12

While they were strangers there, so few,

in number very few:

13

While yet they went frō land to land

without a sure abode;
And while, through sundry kingdoms,


did wander far abroad:

14

Yet notwithstanding suffered he

no man to do them wrong:
Yea, for their sakes, he did reprove
Kings, who were great and strong.

15

Thus did he say, Touch ye not those

that mine anointed be,
Nor do the Prophets any harm
that do partain to me.

16

He call'd for famine on the land,

he brake the staff of bread,

17

But yet he sent a man before,

by whom they should be fed:
Ev'n Joseph, whom unnaturally
sel for a slave did they;

18

Whose feet with fetters they did hurt,

and he in irons lay,

19

Until the time that his word came

to give him liberty:
The word and purpose of the Lord
did him in prison try.

20

Thē sent the King, & did command

that he enlarg'd should be,
He that the peoples ruler was,
did send to set him free.

21

A Lord to rule his family,

he rais'd him, as most fit:
To him, of all that he possest,
he did the charge commit.

22

That he might at his pleasure bind

the Princes of the land:
And he might teach his Senatours
wisdom to understand.

23

The people then of Israel

down into Egypt came:
And Jacob also so journed
within the land of Ham.

24

And he did greatly, by his pow'r

increase his people there;
And stronger then their enemies
they by his blessing were.

25

Their heart he turned to envy

his folk maliciously.
With those that his own servants were
to deal in subtilty.

26

His servant Moses he did send,

Aaron his chosen one:

27

By these, his signes & wonders great

in Hams land were made known.

28

Darkness he sent, and made it dark:

his word they did obey.

29

He turn'd their waters into bloud,

and he their fish did slay.

30

The land in plenty brought forth frogs

in chambers of their Kings.

31

His word all sorts of flies and lice

in all their borders brings.

32

He hail for rain, and flaming fire

into their land he sent:

33

And he their vines & fig-trees smote

trees of their coasts he rent.

34

He spake, and Caterpillers came,

Locusts did much abound,

35

Which in their land all herbs consum'd

and all fruits of their ground.

36

He smote al first-born in their land

chief of their strength each one.

37

With gold & silver broght thē forth

weak in their tribes were none.

38

Egypt was glad when forth thy went:

their fear on them did light.

39

He spred a cloud for covering,

and fire to shine by night.

40

They askt, and he brought Quails; with bread

of heav'n he filled them.

41

He op'ned rocks, floods gusht, & ran

in deserts, like a stream.

42

For on his holy promise he,

and servant Abraham, thought.

43

With joy his people, his elect

with gladnesse forth he brought.

44

And unto them the pleasant lands

he of the heathen gave,
That of the peoples labours they
inheritance might have;

45

That they his statutes might observe

according to his word,
And that they might his Lawes obey.
Give praise unto the Lord.
