Bible-Reading.comPsalm 105
1Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name; make known his doings among the peoples.
2Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; talk ye of all his marvelous works.
3Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
4Seek ye the LORD and his strength; seek his face evermore.
5Remember his marvelous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
8He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;
9The covenant which he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
10And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
11Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
12When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and sojourners in it;
13And they went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
14He suffered no man to do them wrong; yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
15Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones, and do my prophets no harm.
16And he called for a famine upon the land; he brake the whole staff of bread.
17He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant:
18His feet they hurt with fetters; he was laid in chains of iron:
19Until the time that his word came to pass; the word of the LORD tried him.
20The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
21He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
22To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his senators wisdom.
23Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24And he increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries.
25He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
26He sent Moses his servant, and Aaron whom he had chosen.
27They set among them his signs, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his words.
29He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
30Their land swarmed with frogs, in the chambers of their kings.
31He spake, and there came swarms of flies, and lice in all their borders.
32He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
33He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their borders.
34He spake, and the locust came, and the cankerworm, and that without number,
35And did eat up every herb in their land, and did eat up the fruit of their ground.
36He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
37And he brought them forth with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among his tribes.
38Egypt was glad when they departed; for the fear of them had fallen upon them.
39He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
40They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.
42For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham his servant.
43And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with singing.
44And he gave them the lands of the nations; and they took the labour of the peoples in possession:
45That they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalm 106
1Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD, or shew forth all his praise?
3Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.
4Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people; O visit me with thy salvation:
5That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.
6We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
7Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
8Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.
9He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.
10And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11And the waters covered their adversaries: there was not one of them left.
12Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
13They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:
14But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
15And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
16They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.
17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
18And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
19They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped a molten image.
20Thus they changed their glory for the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.
21They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;
22Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red Sea.
23Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.
24Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word;
25But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.
26Therefore he lifted up his hand unto them, that he would overthrow them in the wilderness:
27And that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.
28They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings; and the plague brake in upon them.
30Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.
31And that was counted unto him for righteousness, unto all generations for evermore.
32They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
33Because they were rebellious against his spirit, and he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
34They did not destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them;
35But mingled themselves with the nations, and learned their works:
36And they served their idols; which became a snare unto them:
37Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,
38And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood.
39Thus were they defiled with their works, and went a whoring in their doings.
40Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, and he abhorred his inheritance.
41And he gave them into the hand of the nations; and they that hated them ruled over them.
42Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
43Many times did he deliver them; but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity.
44Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry:
45And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
46He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.
47Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the nations, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.
48Blessed be the LORD, the God or Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalm 107
1O GIVE thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary;
3And gathered them out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
4They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; they found no city of habitation.
5Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7He led them also by a straight way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9For he satisfieth the longing soul, and the hungry soul he filleth with good.
10Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
11Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the Most High:
12Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
13Then they cried unto the LORD hi their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
15Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
16For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
17Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
18Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
19Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.
20He sendeth his word, and healeth them, and delivereth them from their destructions.
21Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
22And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with singing.
23They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
24These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.
25For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
26They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul melteth away because of trouble.
27They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.
28Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
29He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
30Then are they glad because they be quiet: so he bringeth them unto the haven where they would be.
31Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
32Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, and praise him in the seat of the elders.
33He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and watersprings into a thirsty ground;
34A fruitful land into a salt desert, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water, and a dry land into watersprings.
36And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city of habitation;
37And sow fields, and plant vineyards, and get them fruits of increase.
38He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39Again, they are minished and bowed down through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
40He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.
41Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.
42The upright shall see it, and be glad; and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43Whoso is wise shall give heed to these things, and they shall consider the mercies of the LORD.
