Psalm 105

Part II
or Coverdale
Et intravit Israel

²³Israel came into Egypt, *
and Jacob became a sojourner in the land of Ham.
²⁴The Lord made his people exceedingly fruitful; *
he made them stronger than their enemies;
²⁵Whose heart he turned, so that they hated his people, *
and dealt unjustly with his servants.
²⁶He sent Moses his servant, *
and Aaron whom he had chosen.
²⁷They worked his signs among them, *
and portents in the land of Ham.
²⁸He sent darkness, and it grew dark; *
but the Egyptians rebelled against his words.
²⁹He turned their waters into blood *
and caused their fish to die.
³⁰Their land was overrun by frogs, *
in the very chambers of their kings.
³¹He spoke, and there came swarms of insects *
and gnats within all their borders.
³²He gave them hailstones instead of rain, *
and flames of fire throughout their land.
³³He blasted their vines and their fig trees *
and shattered every tree in their country.
³⁴He spoke, and the locust came, *
and young locusts without number,
³⁵Which ate up all the green plants in their land *
and devoured the fruit of their soil.
³⁶He struck down the firstborn of their land, *
the first fruits of all their strength.
³⁷He led out his people with silver and gold; *
in all their tribes there was not one that stumbled.
³⁸Egypt was glad of their going, *
because they were afraid of them.
³⁹He spread out a cloud for a covering *
and a fire to give light in the night season.
⁴⁰They asked, and quails appeared, *
and he satisfied them with bread from heaven.
⁴¹He opened the rock, and water flowed, *
so the river ran in the dry places.
⁴²For God remembered his holy word *
and Abraham his servant.
⁴³So he led forth his people with gladness, *
his chosen with shouts of joy.
⁴⁴He gave his people the lands of the nations, *
and they took the fruit of others toil,
⁴⁵That they might keep his statutes *
and observe his laws.
Hallelujah!
