Tell of His Wonderful Works! (1 Chronicles 16:7-36; Psalm 95:1-11; Psalm 106:1-48) 1{104:1}Give glory to the Lord, and call upon his name: declare his deeds among the Gentiles. 2{104:2}Sing to him, yea sing praises to him: relate all his wondrous works. 3{104:3}Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord. 4{104:4}Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened: seek his face evermore. 5{104:5}Remember his marvellous works which he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth. 6{104:6}O ye seed of Abraham his servant; ye sons of Jacob his chosen. 7{104:7}He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth. 8{104:8}He hath remembered his covenant for ever: the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. 9{104:9}Which he made to Abraham; and his oath to Isaac: 10{104:10}And he appointed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting testament: 11{104:11}Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the lot of your inheritance. 12{104:12}When they were but a small number: yea very few, and sojourners therein: 13{104:13}And they passed from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people. 14{104:14}He suffered no man to hurt them: and he reproved kings for their sakes. 15{104:15}Touch ye not my anointed: and do no evil to my prophets. 16{104:16}And he called a famine upon the land: and he broke in pieces all the support of bread. 17{104:17}He sent a man before them: Joseph, who was sold for a slave. 18{104:18}They humbled his feet in fetters: the iron pierced his soul, 19{104:19}Until his word came. The word of the Lord inflamed him. 20{104:20}The king sent, and he released him: the ruler of the people, and he set him at liberty. 21{104:21}He made him master of his house, and ruler of all his possession. 22{104:22}That he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his ancients wisdom. 23{104:23}And Israel went into Egypt: and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Cham. 24{104:24}And he increased his people exceedingly: and strengthened them over their enemies. 25{104:25}He turned their heart to hate his people: and to deal deceitfully with his servants. 26{104:26}He sent Moses his servant: Aaron the man whom he had chosen. 27{104:27}He gave them power to shew them signs, and his wonders in the land of Cham. 28{104:28}He sent darkness, and made it obscure: and grieved not his words. 29{104:29}He turned their waters into blood, and destroyed their fish. 30{104:30}Their land brought forth frogs, in the inner chambers of their kings. 31{104:31}He spoke, and there came divers sorts of flies and sciniphs in all their coasts. 32{104:32}He gave them hail for rain, a burning fire in the land. 33{104:33}And he destroyed their vineyards and their fig trees: and he broke in pieces the trees of their coasts. 34{104:34}He spoke, and the locust came, and the bruchus, of which there was no number. 35{104:35}And they devoured all the grass in their land, and consumed all the fruit of their ground. 36{104:36}And he slew all the firstborn in their land: the firstfruits of all their labour. 37{104:37}And he brought them out with silver and gold: and there was not among their tribes one that was feeble. 38{104:38}Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them lay upon them. 39{104:39}He spread a cloud for their protection, and fire to give them light in the night. 40{104:40}They asked, and the quail came: and he filled them with the bread of heaven. 41{104:41}He opened the rock, and waters flowed: rivers ran down in the dry land. 42{104:42}Because he remembered his holy word, which he had spoken to his servant Abraham. 43{104:43}And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness. 44{104:44}And he gave them the lands of the Gentiles: and they possessed the labours of the people: 45{104:45}That they might observe his justifications, and seek after his law.
