Psalm 105, 1-6, 16-22, 45b     Confitemini Domino

 

 1         Give thanks to the LORD and call upon his Name; *
                make known his deeds among the peoples.

 

 2         Sing to him, sing praises to him, *
                and speak of all his marvelous works.

 

 3         Glory in his holy Name; *
                let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

 

 4         Search for the LORD and his strength; *
                continually seek his face.

 

 5         Remember the marvels he has done, *
                his wonders and the judgments of his mouth,

 

 6         O offspring of Abraham his servant, *
                O children of Jacob his chosen.

 

 16       Then he called for a famine in the land *
                and destroyed the supply of bread.

 

 17       He sent a man before them, *
                Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

 

 18       They bruised his feet in fetters; *
                his neck they put in an iron collar.

 

 19       Until his prediction 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 set him as a master over his household,
                as a ruler over all his possessions,

 

 22       To instruct his princes according to his will
                and to teach his elders wisdom.

                Hallelujah!
