Tell of His Wonders
(1 Chronicles 16:7–22)

1O geue thankes vnto the LORDE, and call vpon his name: tell the people what thinges he hath done.

2O let youre songes be of him: prayse him, and let youre talkynge be of all his wonderous workes.

3Geue his holy name a good reporte, let their hertes reioyse that seke the LORDE.

4Seke the LORDE, and his strength, seke his face euermore.

5Remembre the maruelous workes that he hath done, his wonders and the iudgmentes of his mouth.

6O ye sede of Abraham his seruaunt, ye children of Iacob his chosen.

7He is the LORDE oure God, whose punyshmentes are thorow out all the worlde.

8He is allwaye myndfull of his couenaunt, and promyse that he made to a thousande generacions.

9Yee the couenaunt that he made wt Abraham, and the ooth that he swore vnto Isaac.

10And apoynted the same vnto Iacob for a lawe, and to Israel for an euerlastinge testament.

11Sayenge: vnto the wil I geue the londe of Canaan, the lott of youre heretage.

12When there was yet but a fewe of them, and they straungers therin.

13What tyme as they wente from one nacion to another, from one kyngdome to another.

14He suffred no man to hurte them, but reproued euen kynges for their sakes.

15Touch not myne anoynted, do my prophetes no harme.

16Morouer he called for a derth vpon the lode, and destroyed all the prouysion of bred.

17But he had sent a man before them, euen Ioseph which was solde to be a bonde seruaunt.

18They hurte his fete in the stockes, the yron pearsed his herte.

19Vntill the tyme that his worde came, and till the worde of ye LORDE had tried him.

20Then sent the kinge and caused him be delyuered, the prynce of the people bad let him go.

21He made him lorde of his house, & ruler of all his substaunce.

22That he might enfourme his prynces after his wil, and teach his Senatours wysdome.

23Israel also came in to Egipte, and Iacob was a straunger in the lode of Ham.

24But he increased his people exceadingly, and made them stronger then their enemies.

25Whose hert turned, so that they hated his people, and dealt vntruly with his seruauntes.

26Then sent he Moses his seruaunt, and Aaron whom he had chosen.

27These dyd his tokens amoge them, and wonders in the londe of Ham.

28He sent darcknesse and it was darcke, for they were not obedient vnto his worde.

29He turned their waters in to bloude, and slewe their fishe.

30Their londe brought forth frogges, yee euen in their kynges chambers.

31He spake the worde, & their came all maner of flies & lise in all their quarters.

32He gaue them hale stones for rayne, and flammes of fyre in their lode.

33He smote their vynyardes & fige trees, and destroyed the trees that were in their coastes.

34He spake ye worde, and their came greshoppers & catirpillers innumerable.

35These ate vp all the grasse in their lode, and deuoured the frutes of their groude.

36He smote all ye first borne in their lode, euen the chefe of all their substaunce.

37He brought them forth wt syluer & golde, there was not one feble personne amoge their trybes.

38Egipte was glad of their departinge, for they were afraied of the.

39e spred out a cloude to be a couerynge, and fyre to geue light in the night season.

40At their desyre, there came quales, and he fylled them with the bred of heaue.

41He opened the rocke of stone, & the waters flowed out: so that ryuers ranne in the wildernesse.

42For why, he remembred his holy promyse which he had made vnto Abraham his seruaunt.

43Thus he brought forth his people with ioye, and his chosen with gladnesse.

44And gaue them the lodes of the Heithe, where they toke the labours of the people in possession.

45That they might kepe his statutes, and obserue his lawes. Halleluya. Halleluya.
