The LORD's Wonders in Behalf of Israel |
| 1 Chr. 16.7-22 |
| 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:
|
| 5 |
Remember his marvelous 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, Gen. 12.7 ; 17.8
|
| 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,
|
| 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,
|
| 16 |
Moreover he called for a famine upon the land:
|
| 17 |
He sent a man before them,
|
| 18 |
whose feet they hurt with fetters:
|
| 19 |
until the time that his word came:
|
| 20 |
The king sent and loosed him;
| | |
even the ruler of the people, |
|
and let him go free. Gen. 41.14 |
|
|
| 21 |
He made him lord of his house,
|
| 22 |
to bind his princes at his pleasure;
| | |
and teach his senators wisdom. |
|
|
| 23 |
Israel also came into Egypt; Gen. 46.6
| | |
and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. Gen. 47.11 |
|
|
| 24 |
And he increased his people greatly;
| | |
and made them stronger than their enemies. |
|
|
| 25 |
He turned their heart to hate his people,
|
| 26 |
He sent Moses his servant;
|
| 27 |
They showed his signs among them,
| | |
and wonders in the land of Ham. |
|
|
| 28 |
He sent darkness, and made it dark; Ex. 10.21-23
| | |
and they rebelled not against his word. |
|
|
| 29 |
He turned their waters into blood,
|
| 30 |
Their land brought forth frogs in abundance,
|
| 31 |
He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, Ex. 8.20-24
|
| 32 |
He gave them hail for rain,
| | |
and flaming fire in their land. |
|
|
| 33 |
He smote their vines also and their fig trees;
|
| 34 |
He spake, and the locusts came,
| | |
and caterpillars, and that without number, |
|
|
| 35 |
and did eat up all the herbs in their land,
|
| 36 |
He smote also all the firstborn in their land,
|
| 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:
|
| 39 |
He spread a cloud for a covering;
|
| 40 |
The people asked, and he brought quails,
| | |
and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. Ex. 16.2-15 |
|
|
| 41 |
He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out;
|
| 42 |
For he remembered his holy promise,
|
| 43 |
And he brought forth his people with joy,
| | |
and his chosen with gladness: |
|
|
| 44 |
and gave them the lands of the heathen: Josh. 11.16-23
| | |
and they inherited the labor of the people; |
|
|
| 45 |
that they might observe his statutes,
| | |
and keep his laws. |
|
Praise ye the LORD. |
