Psalm 105A

Solemnis haec festivitas L.M. (Paris Gradual, 1685)

1 O thank the LORD, declare his name;
his wondrous deeds to all proclaim.
2 Sing praise to him, his works record;
3 let all rejoice who seek the LORD.

4 O seek the LORD, his presence seek!
5 Remember all his wondrous deeds,
the mighty judgments he declared,
6 Offspring of Abr’am, Jacob’s heirs.

7 He is the LORD; he rules the earth,
remembering his holy word:
8 the cov’nant he did e’er command,
9 the covenant with Abraham.

10 The promise sure that Isaac heard,
which unto Jacob he confirmed,
11 he swore to Isr’el, “I will give you
Canaan as your heritage.”

12 When few in number, very few,
they sojourned there while passing through.
13 They wandered on from land to land,
through kingdoms on to other clans.

14 He let none hurt them nor oppress,
he chided kings in their defense:
15 “Touch not my anointed ones, be warned!
And to my prophets do no harm!”

The psalm continues at Psalm 105B.
