1(105) Alleluia. Give thanks to the Lord, and call upon his name; declare his works among the heathen.
1Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
2Sing to him, yes, sing praises to him: tell forth all his wonderful works.
2Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
3Glory in his holy name: let the heart of them that seek the Lord rejoice.
3Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
4Seek you⌃ the Lord, and be strengthened; seek his face continually.
4Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
5Remember his wonderful works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
5Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
6[you⌃] seed of Abraam, his servants, [you⌃] children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
6Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
7He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
7At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
8He has remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded for a thousand generation:
8They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
9which he established as a covenant to Abraam, and [he remembered] his oath to Isaac.
9Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
10And he established it to Jacob for an ordinance, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant;
10He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
11saying To you will I give the land of Chanaan, the line of your inheritance:
11They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
12when they were few in number, very few, and sojourners in it.
12By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
13And they went from nation to nation, and from [one] kingdom to another people.
13He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
14He suffered no man to wrong them; and he rebuked kings for their sakes:
14He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
15[saying], Touch not my anointed ones; and do my prophets no harm.
15And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart.
16Moreover he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole support of bread.
16The trees of the Lord are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
17He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a slave.
17Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
18They hurt his feet with fetters; his soul passed into iron,
18The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
19until the time that his cause came on; the word of the Lord tried him as fire.
19He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
20The king sent and loosed him; [even] the prince of the people, and let him go free.
20Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
21He made him Lord over his house, and ruler of all his substance;
21The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.
22to chastise his rulers at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.
22The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
23Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Cham.
23Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
24And he increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their enemies.
24O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
25And he turned their heart to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants.
25So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
26He sent forth Moses his servant, [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.
26There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
27He established among them his signs, and [his] wonders in the land of Cham.
27These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
28He sent forth darkness, and made it dark; yet they rebelled against his words.
28That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
29He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish.
29Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
30Their land produced frogs abundantly, in the chambers of their kings.
30Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
31He spoke, and the dog-fly came, and lice in all their coasts.
31The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works.
32He turned their rain into hail, [and sent] flaming fire in their land.
32He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
33And he struck their vines and their fig trees; and broke every tree of their coast.
33I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34He spoke, and the locust came, and caterpillars innumerable,
34My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord.
35and devoured all the grass in their land, and devoured the fruit of the ground.
35Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the Lord, O my soul. Praise ye the Lord.
