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