Tell of His Wonders 1(104:1) Alleluia. Give thanks to the Lord, and call upon his name; declare his works among the heathen. 2(104:2) Sing to him, yea, sing praises to him: tell forth all his wonderful works. 3(104:3) Glory in his holy name: let the heart of them that seek the Lord rejoice. 4(104:4) Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened; seek his face continually. 5(104:5) Remember his wonderful works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; 6(104:6) ye seed of Abraam, his servants, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones. 7(104:7) He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth. 8(104:8) He has remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded for a thousand generation: 9(104:9) which he established as a covenant to Abraam, and he remembered his oath to Isaac. 10(104:10) And he established it to Jacob for an ordinance, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant; 11(104:11) saying To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the line of your inheritance: 12(104:12) when they were few in number, very few, and sojourners in it. 13(104:13) And they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people. 14(104:14) He suffered no man to wrong them; and he rebuked kings for their sakes: 15(104:15) saying, Touch not my anointed ones; and do my prophets no harm. 16(104:16) Moreover he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole support of bread. 17(104:17) He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a slave. 18(104:18) They hurt his feet with fetters; his soul passed into iron, 19(104:19) until the time that his cause came on; the word of the Lord tried him as fire. 20(104:20) The king sent and loosed him; even the prince of the people, and let him go free. 21(104:21) He made him Lord over his house, and ruler of all his substance; 22(104:22) to chastise his rulers at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom. 23(104:23) Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Cham. 24(104:24) And he increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their enemies. 25(104:25) And he turned their heart to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants. 26(104:26) He sent fort Moses his servant, and Aaron whom he had chosen. 27(104:27) He established among them his signs, and his wonders in the land of Cham. 28(104:28) He sent forth darkness, and made it dark; yet they rebelled against his words. 29(104:29) He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish. 30(104:30) Their land produced frogs abundantly, in the chambers of their kings. 31(104:31) He spoke, and the dog-fly came, and lice in all their coasts. 32(104:32) He turned their rain into hail, and sent flaming fire in their land. 33(104:33) And he smote their vines and their fig trees; and broke every tree of their coast. 34(104:34) He spoke, and the locust came, and caterpillars innumerable, 35(104:35) and devoured all the grass in their land, and devoured the fruit of the ground. 36(104:36) He smote also every first-born of their land, the first-fruits of all their labour. 37(104:37) And he brought them out with silver and gold; and there was not a feeble one among their tribes. 38(104:38) Egypt rejoiced at their departing; for the fear of them fell upon them. 39(104:39) He spread out a cloud for a covering to them, and fire to give them light by night. 40(104:40) They asked, and the quail came, and he satisfied them with the bread of heaven. 41(104:41) He clave the rock, and the waters flowed, rivers ran in dry places. 42(104:42) For he remembered his holy word, which he promised to Abraam his servant. 43(104:43) And he brought out his people with exultation, and his chosen with joy; 44(104:44) and gave them the lands of the heathen; and they inherited the labours of the people; 45(104:45) that they might keep his ordinances, and diligently seek his law.
