Psalm 105:1-22 Confitemini Domino
1 Give thanks to the LORD and call up-on her Name; *
make known her deeds a-mong the peo-ples.
2 Sing to her, sing prai-ses to her, *
and speak of all her mar-velous works.
3 Glory in her ho-ly Name; *
let the hearts of those who seek the LORD re-joice.
4 Search for the LORD and her strength; *
continually seek her face.
5 Remember the marvels she has done, *
her wonders and the judgments of her mouth,
6 O offspring of Abra-ham her ser-vant, *
O children of Ja-cob her cho-sen.
7 She is the LORD our God; *
her judgments prevail in all the world.
8 She has always been mindful of her co-venant, *
the promise she made for a thousand ge-ner-a-tions:
9 The covenant she made with A-braham, *
the oath that she swore to I-saac,
10 Which she established as a sta-tute for Ja-cob, *
an everlasting coven-ant for Is-rael,
11 Saying, “To you will I give the land of Ca-naan *
to be your allot-ted in-her-itance.”
12 When they were few in num-ber, *
of little account, and sojourners in the land,
13 Wandering from na-tion to na-tion *
and from one kingdom to a-no-ther,
14 She let no one op-press them *
and rebuked kings for their sake,
15 Saying, “Do not touch my a-noin-ted *
and do my pro-phets no harm.”
16 Then she called for a famine in the land *
and destroyed the sup-ply of bread.
17 She sent a man be-fore them, *
Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18 They bruised his feet in fet-ters; *
his neck they put in an iron col-lar.
19 Until his prediction came to pass, *
the word of the LORD test-ed him.
20 The king sent and re-leased him; *
the ruler of the peoples set him free.
21 He set him as a master o-ver his house-hold, *
as a ruler over all his pos-ses-sions,
22 To instruct his princes according to his will *
and to teach his el-ders wis-dom.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Ho-ly Spir-it: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ev-er. A-men.
