Psalms 103
[1] Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
[2] Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: [3] Who
forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; [4] Who
redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and
tender mercies;
[5] Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed
like the eagle's.
[6] The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
[7] He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
[8] The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
[9] He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. [10] He
hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our
iniquities.
[11] For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward
them that fear him.
[12] As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our
transgressions from us.
[13] Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear
him.
[14] For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. [15] As for
man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
[16] For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall
know it no more.
[17] But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them
that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; [18] To such as
keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
[19] The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth
over all.
[20] Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his
commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. [21] Bless ye the LORD,
all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
[22] Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the
LORD, O my soul.
Psalms 104
[1] Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art
clothed with honour and majesty.
[2] Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the
heavens like a curtain:
[3] Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds
his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: [4] Who maketh his angels
spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: [5] Who laid the foundations of the
earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
[6] Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above
the mountains.
[7] At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. [8]
They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which
thou hast founded for them.
[9] Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not
again to cover the earth.
[10] He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. [11]
They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their
thirst.
[12] By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing
among the branches.
[13] He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the
fruit of thy works.
[14] He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of
man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; [15] And wine that maketh
glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which
strengtheneth man's heart. [16] The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the
cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
[17] Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her
house.
[18] The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the
conies.
[19] He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. [20]
Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do
creep forth.
[21] The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God. [22]
The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their
dens.
[23] Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening. [24] O
LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth
is full of thy riches.
[25] So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable,
both small and great beasts.
[26] There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play
therein.
[27] These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due
season.
[28] That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are
filled with good.
[29] Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath,
they die, and return to their dust. [30] Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they
are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
[31] The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in
his works.
[32] He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and
they smoke.
[33] I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God
while I have my being.
[34] My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD. [35] Let
the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless
thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalms 105
[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.
