Book Four (Psalms 90-106) "Concerning Israel and the Nations of the Earth"


1:   O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
2:   Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
3:   Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
4:   Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
5:   Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6:   O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children 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 covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
10:   And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:

11:   Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:

12:   When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.

13:   When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;

14:   He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
15:   Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

16:   Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.

17:   He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:

18:   Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
19:   Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.

20:   The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
21:   He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
22:   To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.

23:   Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

24:   And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.

25:   He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.

26:   He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.

27:   They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28:   He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
29:   He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
30:   Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.
31:   He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.
32:   He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
33:   He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.
34:   He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,
35:   And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
36:   He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.

37:   He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
38:   Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.
39:   He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
40:   The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41:   He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

42:   For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
43:   And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:

44:   And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;

45:   That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws.

Praise ye the LORD.
