Psalms 104 — Douay-Rheims Bible

Give glory to the Lord, and call upon his name: declare his deeds among the Gentiles.● Sing to him, yea sing praises to him: relate all his wondrous works.● Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.● Seek ye the lord, and be strengthened: seek his face evermore.● Remember his marvellous works which he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth.● O ye seed of Abraham his servant; ye sons of Jacob his chosen.● He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.● He hath remembered his covenant for ever: the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.● Which he made to Abraham; and his oath to Isaac:● And he appointed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting testament:● Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the lot of your inheritance.● When they were but a small number: yea very few, and sojourners therein:● And they passed from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people.● He suffered no man to hurt them: and he reproved kings for their sakes.● Touch ye not my anointed: and do no evil to my prophets.● And he called a famine upon the land: and he broke in pieces all the support of bread.● He sent a man before them: Joseph, who was sold for a slave.● They humbled his feet in fetters: the iron pierced his soul,● Until his word came. The word of the Lord inflamed him.● The king sent, and he released him: the ruler of the people, and he set him at liberty.● He made him master of his house, and ruler of all his possession.● That he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his ancients wisdom.● And Israel went into Egypt: and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Cham.● And he increased his people exceedingly: and strengthened them over their enemies.● He turned their heart to hate his people: and to deal deceitfully with his servants.● He sent Moses his servant: Aaron the man whom he had chosen.● He gave them power to shew them signs, and his wonders in the land of Cham.● He sent darkness, and made it obscure: and grieved not his words.● He turned their waters into blood, and destroyed their fish.● Their land brought forth frogs, in the inner chambers of their kings.● He spoke, and there came divers sorts of flies and sciniphs in all their coasts.● He gave them hail for rain, a burning fire in the land.● And he destroyed their vineyards and their fig trees: and he broke in pieces the trees of their coasts.● He spoke, and the locust came, and the bruchus, of which there was no number.● And they devoured all the grass in their land, and consumed all the fruit of their ground.● And he slew all the firstborn in their land: the firstfruits of all their labour.● And he brought them out with silver and gold: and there was not among their tribes one that was feeble.● Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them lay upon them.● He spread a cloud for their protection, and fire to give them light in the night.● They asked, and the quail came: and he filled them with the bread of heaven.● He opened the rock, and waters flowed: rivers ran down in the dry land.● Because he remembered his holy word, which he had spoken to his servant Abraham.● And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness.● And he gave them the lands of the Gentiles: and they possessed the labours of the people:● That they might observe his justifications, and seek after his law.●
