Psalm 105

GIve thanks to God, call on his Name,
To men his deeds make known:
Sing, sing his praise, his works proclame,
And wonders ev'ry one.
Joy fill their hearts that seek his grace:
Boast in •is holy Name:
S•ek, seek the Lord, his strength & face,
For ever seek the same.
His marv'lous works to mind recall,
And every wondrous deed:
His miracles and judgments all,
Which from his mouth proceed.
O ye his servants, Abrahams seed,
His chosen Jacobs sons:
He is the Lord our God indeed,
Through th'earth his judgement runs.

2. Part.
HE hath remembred still to do,
His covenants contents:
The word which he commanded to
A thousand of descents.
Which cov'nant he with Abraham drew,
And next to Isaac swore:
And for a law confirm'd anew
To Jacob, as before.
An everlasting Covenant
With Israel firm to stand:
Saying, To you I freely grant
All Canaans fertile land:
An heritage allotted you,
When few the people were:
Their number was exceeding few,
And also strangers there.
From under on Kings government,
When, travelling along,
They to another people went:
He let none do them wrong:
But for their sakes he Kings controll'd,
Let no presumptuous arm
Touch mine anointed, nor be bold
To do my Prophets harm.

3. Part.
MOreover then th'Almighty spake,
That famine should be spread
Ore all the Land, and wholly brake
The succouring staffe of bread.
But Joseph he had sent before,
Whom for a slave they sold:
Whose feet with fetters they made sore,
He lodg'd in irons cold.
Untill his words accomplishment,
By Gods word tri'd was he:
The King (the peoples Ruler) sent
To loose and set him free.
He made him Lord of's family,
And ruler of his treasure:
To teach his Senate policy,
And binde his Peers at pleasure.
Then Israel into Aegypt came,
And Jacob there found place
To sojourn in the land of Ham,
Where they encreast apace.
He made them stronger then their foes,
And of their foes abhor'd:
And subtly made them deal with those
The servants of the Lord.

4. Part.
HIs chosen servants had command,
Moses and Aaron too,
In Aegypt, Hams accursed land,
Wonders and signes to do.
A darkness he among them sent,
A cloud of darkness fell:
Against his flat commandement,
They no way did rebell.
To bloud he turn'd their streams and springs,
And all their fishes kill'd:
With frogs the chambers of their Kings
Abundantly were fill'd.
Strange flies and lice by his command
In all their coasts remain:
He gave them hail in all the land,
And flaming fire for rain.
Figtrees and Vines in all their coasts,
He smote, and brake the same:
He spake, and locusts, countless hoasts,
And Caterpillars came:
Upon their lands green herbs they fed,
And all their fruits devour:
all Aegypts first-born smote he dead,
The chief of all their pow'r.
He brought them out, hir'd thereunto
With gold and silver bribes:
And not a feeble soul quite through
The Israelitish Tribes.
Full glad was Aegypt when they went,
Their terrour did affright:
He spread a cloud, a sheltring tent,
And fire by night gave light.

5. Part.
THe Lord with Quails his people fed,
Such as they askt to have:
And satisfi'd them with the bread
Which he from heaven gave.
He opened stony rocks, where-out
Fresh waters gusht amain:
And like a river ran about
The dry and desert plain.
He on his servant Abraham thought,
His holy Word and all:
His chosen people thence he brought
With joy and festivall.
The heathens labours, and their lands,
on Israel he bestow'd:
To keep his laws and his commands,
O spread his praise abroad.
