Psalm 105 - Douy-Rheims Bible Challoner Revision

¹ He hath remembered his covenant for ever: the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

² Which he made to Abraham; and his oath to Isaac:

³ 0 And he appointed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting testament:

⁴ 1 Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the lot of your inheritance.

⁵ 2 When they were but a small number: yea very few, and sojourners therein:

⁶ 3 And they passed from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people.

⁷ 4 He suffered no man to hurt them: and he reproved kings for their sakes.

⁸ 5 Touch ye not my anointed: and do no evil to my prophets.

⁹ 6 And he called a famine upon the land: and he broke in pieces all the support of bread.

¹⁰ 7 He sent a man before them: Joseph, who was sold for a slave.

¹¹ 8 They humbled his feet in fetters: the iron pierced his soul,

¹² 9 until his word came. The word of the Lord inflamed him.

¹³ 0 The king sent, and he released him: the ruler of the people, and he set him at liberty.

¹⁴ 1 He made him master of his house, and ruler of all his possession.

¹⁵ 2 That he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his ancients wisdom.

¹⁶ 3 And Israel went into Egypt: and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Cham.

¹⁷ 4 And he increased his people exceedingly: and strengthened them over their enemies,

¹⁸ 5 He turned their heart to hate his people: and to deal deceitfully with his servants.

¹⁹ 6 He sent Moses his servant: Aaron the man whom he had chosen.

²⁰ 7 He gave them power to shew his signs, and his wonders in the land of Cham.

²¹ 8 He sent darkness, and made it obscure: and grieved not his words.

²² 9 He turned their waters into blood, and destroyed their fish.

²³ 0 Their land brought forth frogs, in the inner chambers of their kings.

²⁴ 1 He spoke, and there came divers sorts of flies and sciniphs in all their coasts.

²⁵ 2 He gave them hail for rain, a burning fire in the land.

²⁶ 3 And he destroyed their vineyards and their fig trees: and he broke in pieces the trees of their coasts.

²⁷ 4 He spoke, and the locust came, and the bruchus, of which there was no number.

²⁸ 5 And they devoured all the grass in their land, and consumed all the fruit of their ground.

²⁹ 6 And he slew all the firstborn in their land: the firstfruits of all their labour.

³⁰ 7 And he brought them out with silver and gold: and there was not among their tribes one that was feeble.

³¹ 8 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them lay upon them.

³² 9 He spread a cloud for their protection, and fire to give them light in the night.

³³ 0 They asked, and the quail came: and he filled them with the bread of heaven.

³⁴ 1 He opened the rock, and waters flowed: rivers ran down in the dry land.

³⁵ 2 Because he remembered his holy word, which he had spoken to his servant Abraham.

³⁶ 3 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness.

³⁷ 4 And he gave them the lands of the Gentiles: and they possessed the labours of the people:

³⁸ 5 That they might observe his justifications, and seek after his law.

³⁹ Alleluia. Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

⁴⁰ Who shall declare the powers of the Lord? who shall set forth all his praises?

⁴¹ Blessed are they that keep judgment, and do justice at all times.

⁴² Remember us, O Lord, in the favour of thy people: visit us with thy salvation.

⁴³ That we may see the good of thy chosen, that we may rejoice in the joy of thy nation: that thou mayst be praised with thy inheritance.

⁴⁴ We have sinned with our fathers: we have acted unjustly, we have wrought iniquity.

⁴⁵ Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt: they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies: And they provoked to wrath going up to the sea, even the Red Sea.
