105 1 He praiseth the singular grace of God, who hath of all the people of the world chosen a peculiar people to himself, and having chosen them, never ceaseth to do them good, even for his promise’s sake.
1 Praise the Lord, and call upon his Name: [a]declare his works among the people.
2 Sing unto him, sing praise unto him, and talk of all his wondrous works.
3 Rejoice in his holy Name, let the heart of them that seek the Lord, rejoice.
4 Seek the Lord and his [b]strength: seek his face continually.
5 Remember his [c]marvelous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the [d]judgments of his mouth,
6 Ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob, which are his elect.
7 He is the Lord our God: his judgments are through all the earth.
8 He hath always remembered his covenant, and promise, that he made to a thousand generations,
9 Even that which he [e]made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac:
10 And since hath confirmed it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
11 Saying, [f]Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.
37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold, and there was [a]none feeble among their tribes.
38 Egypt was [b]glad at their departing: for the fear of them had fallen upon them.
39 He spread a cloud to be a covering, and fire to give light in the night.
40 They [c]asked, and he brought quails, and he filled them with the bread of heaven.
41 He opened the rock, and the water flowed out, and ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For he remembered his holy [d]promise to Abraham his servant,
43 And he brought forth his people with [e]joy, and his chosen with gladness,
44 And gave them the lands of the heathen, and they took the labors of the people in possession,
45 That they might [f]keep his statutes, and observe his Laws. Praise ye the Lord.
21 3 Isaac is born. 9 Ishmael mocketh Isaac. 14 Hagar is cast out with her son. 17 The Angel comforteth Hagar. 32 The covenant between Abimelech and Abraham. 33 Abraham called upon the Lord.
1 Now the Lord visited Sarah, as he had said, and did unto her (A)according as he had promised.
2 For (B)Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his [a]old age, at the same season that God told him.
3 And Abraham called his son’s name that was born unto him, which Sarah bare him, Isaac.
4 Then Abraham circumcised Isaac his son, when he was eight days old, (C)as God had commanded him.
5 So Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
6 ¶ Then Sarah said, God hath made me to rejoice: all that hear, will rejoice with me.
7 Again she said, [b]Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have borne him a son in his old age.
8 But unto the Son he saith, (A)O God, thy [a]throne is forever [b]and ever: the scepter of thy kingdom is a [c]scepter of righteousness.
9 Thou hast loved righteousness and [d]hated iniquity. Wherefore God, even thy God, hath [e]anointed thee with the oil of gladness, above thy [f]fellows.
10 And, (B)Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast [g]established the earth, and the heavens are the works of thine hands.
11 They shall perish, but thou dost remain, and they all shall wax old as doth a garment,
12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
