PSALM 105

Tell of All His Wondrous Works

1 

Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name;

    make known his deeds among the peoples!

2 

Sing to him, sing praises to him;

    tell of all his wondrous works!

3 

Glory in his holy name;

    let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!

4 

Seek the Lord and his strength;

    seek his presence continually!

5 

Remember the wondrous works that he has done,

    his miracles, and the judgments he uttered,

6 

O offspring of Abraham, his servant,

    children of Jacob, his chosen ones!

7 

He is the Lord our God;

    his judgments are in all the earth.

8 

He remembers his covenant forever,

    the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,

9 

the covenant that he made with Abraham,

    his sworn promise to Isaac,

10 

which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute,

    to Israel as an everlasting covenant,

11 

saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan

    as your portion for an inheritance.”

12 

When they were few in number,

    of little account, and sojourners in it,

13 

wandering from nation to nation,

    from one kingdom to another people,

14 

he allowed no one to oppress them;

    he rebuked kings on their account,

15 

saying, “Touch not my anointed ones,

    do my prophets no harm!”

16 

When he summoned a famine on the land

    and broke all supply of bread,

17 

he had sent a man ahead of them,

    Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

18 

His feet were hurt with fetters;

    his neck was put in a collar of iron;

19 

until what he had said came to pass,

    the word of the Lord tested him.

20 

The king sent and released him;

    the ruler of the peoples set him free;

21 

he made him lord of his house

    and ruler of all his possessions,

22 

to bind his princes at his pleasure

    and to teach his elders wisdom.

23 

Then Israel came to Egypt;

    Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

24 

And the Lord made his people very fruitful

    and made them stronger than their foes.

25 

He turned their hearts to hate his people,

    to deal craftily with his servants.

26 

He sent Moses, his servant,

    and Aaron, whom he had chosen.

27 

They performed his signs among them

    and miracles in the land of Ham.

28 

He sent darkness, and made the land dark;

    they did not rebel against his words.

29 

He turned their waters into blood

    and caused their fish to die.

30 

Their land swarmed with frogs,

    even in the chambers of their kings.

31 

He spoke, and there came swarms of flies,

    and gnats throughout their country.

32 

He gave them hail for rain,

    and fiery lightning bolts through their land.

33 

He struck down their vines and fig trees,

    and shattered the trees of their country.

34 

He spoke, and the locusts came,

    young locusts without number,

35 

which devoured all the vegetation in their land

    and ate up the fruit of their ground.

36 

He struck down all the firstborn in their land,

    the firstfruits of all their strength.

37 

Then he brought out Israel with silver and gold,

    and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.

38 

Egypt was glad when they departed,

    for dread of them had fallen upon it.

39 

He spread a cloud for a covering,

    and fire to give light by night.

40 

They asked, and he brought quail,

    and gave them bread from heaven in abundance.

41 

He opened the rock, and water gushed out;

    it flowed through the desert like a river.

42 

For he remembered his holy promise,

    and Abraham, his servant.

43 

So he brought his people out with joy,

    his chosen ones with singing.

44 

And he gave them the lands of the nations,

    and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples' toil,

45 

that they might keep his statutes

    and observe his laws.

Praise the Lord!

Psalm 104:24-35 Song - Creation Glory- BY JASON SILVER

O Lord My God, You Are Very Great

1 

Bless the Lord, O my soul!

    O Lord my God, you are very great!

You are clothed with splendour and majesty,

2 

    covering yourself with light as with a garment,

    stretching out the heavens like a tent.

3 

He lays the beams of his chambers on the waters;

he makes the clouds his chariot;

    he rides on the wings of the wind;

4 

he makes his messengers winds,

    his ministers a flaming fire.

5 

He set the earth on its foundations,

    so that it should never be moved.

6 

You covered it with the deep as with a garment;

    the waters stood above the mountains.

7 

At your rebuke they fled;

    at the sound of your thunder they took to flight.

8 

The mountains rose, the valleys sank down

    to the place that you appointed for them.

9 

You set a boundary that they may not pass,

    so that they might not again cover the earth.

10 

You make springs gush forth in the valleys;

    they flow between the hills;

11 

they give drink to every beast of the field;

    the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 

Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell;

    they sing among the branches.

13 

From your lofty abode you water the mountains;

    the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work.

14 

You cause the grass to grow for the livestock

    and plants for man to cultivate,

that he may bring forth food from the earth

15 

    and wine to gladden the heart of man,

oil to make his face shine

    and bread to strengthen man's heart.

16 

The trees of the Lord are watered abundantly,

    the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.

17 

In them the birds build their nests;

    the stork has her home in the fir trees.

18 

The high mountains are for the wild goats;

    the rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.

19 

He made the moon to mark the seasons;

    the sun knows its time for setting.

20 

You make darkness, and it is night,

    when all the beasts of the forest creep about.

21 

The young lions roar for their prey,

    seeking their food from God.

22 

When the sun rises, they steal away

    and lie down in their dens.

23 

Man goes out to his work

    and to his labor until the evening.

24 

O Lord, how manifold are your works!

    In wisdom have you made them all;

    the earth is full of your creatures.

25 

Here is the sea, great and wide,

    which teems with creatures innumerable,

    living things both small and great.

26 

There go the ships,

    and Leviathan, which you formed to play in it.

27 

These all look to you,

    to give them their food in due season.

28 

When you give it to them, they gather it up;

    when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.

29 

When you hide your face, they are dismayed;

    when you take away their breath, they die

    and return to their dust.

30 

When you send forth your Spirit, they are created,

    and you renew the face of the ground.

31 

May the glory of the Lord endure forever;

    may the Lord rejoice in his works,

32 

who looks on the earth and it trembles,

    who touches the mountains and they smoke!

33 

I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;

    I will sing praise to my God while I have being.

34 

May my meditation be pleasing to him,

    for I rejoice in the Lord.

35 

Let sinners be consumed from the earth,

    and let the wicked be no more!

Bless the Lord, O my soul!

Praise the Lord!

The Two Witnesses

1 Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, “Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there, 2 but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for forty-two months. 3 And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”

4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. 5 And if anyone would harm them, fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes. If anyone would harm them, this is how he is doomed to be killed. 6 They have the power to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood

and to strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they desire. 7 And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that rises from the bottomless pit will make war on them and conquer them and kill them, 8 and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that symbolically is called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified. 9 For three and a half days some from the peoples and tribes and languages and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb, 10 and those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and exchange presents, because these two prophets had been a torment to those who dwell on the earth. 11 But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. 12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies watched them. 13 And at that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.14 The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe is soon to come.

The Seventh Trumpet

15 Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, 

“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever.” 16 And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshipped God, 17 saying,

“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,

    who is and who was,

for you have taken your great power

    and begun to reign.

18 The nations raged, but your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.”

19 Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail.

The Angel and the Little Scroll

1 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire. 2 He had a little scroll open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land, 3 and called out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring. When he called out, the seven thunders sounded. 4 And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.” 5 And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven 

6 and swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there would be no more delay, 7 but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God would be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.

8 Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, “Go, take the scroll that is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”

9 So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me, “Take and eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.” 10 And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it. It was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter. 11 And I was told, “You must again prophesy about many peoples and nations and languages and kings.”

Chapter Nine

1 And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit. 2 He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft. 3 Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth. 4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, but only those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 They were allowed to torment them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone. 6 And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them.

7 In appearance the locusts were like horses prepared for battle: on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces, 

8 their hair like women's hair, and their teeth like lions' teeth; 9 they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle. 10 They have tails and stings like scorpions, and their power to hurt people for five months is in their tails. 11 They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon.

12 The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still to come.

13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released to kill a third of mankind. 16 The number of mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number. 17 And this is how I saw the horses in my vision and those who rode them: they wore breastplates the colour of fire and of sapphire and of sulphur, and the heads of the horses were like lions' heads, and fire and smoke and sulphur came out of their mouths. 18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulphur coming out of their mouths. 19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails are like serpents with heads, and by means of them they wound.

20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk, 21 nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

The Seventh Seal and the Golden Censer

1 When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, and he was given much incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar before the throne, 4 and the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel. 5 Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth, and there were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.

The Seven Trumpets

6 Now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to blow them.7 The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

8 The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. 9 A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

10 The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the water, because it had been made bitter.

12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light might be darkened, and a third of the day might be kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.

13 Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice as it flew directly overhead, “Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!”
