Confitemini Dom. Ps.105.N.

He praiseth the singular goodness of God, for choosing a peculiar people to himself, never ceasing to do them good, even for his promise’s sake.

Sing this as the 59 Psalm.
The first part The second part The third part
Give praises unto God the Lord,
and all upon his name:
Among the people eke declare
his works to spread his fame.
 
2 Sing ye unto the Lord I say,
and sing unto him praise,
And talk of all the wondrous works,
that he hath wrought always.
 
3 In honor of his holy name,
rejoice with one accord:
And let the heart also rejoice,
of them that seek the Lord.
 
4 Seek ye the Lord, and seek the strength
of his eternal might:
And seek his face continually,
and presence of his sight.
 
5 The wondrous works that he hath done,
keep still in mindful heart.
Ne let the judgments of his mouth,
out of your minds depart.
 
6 Ye that of faithful Abraham
his servant are the seed:
Ye his elect the children that
of Jacob do proceed.
 
7 For he, he only is I say,
the mighty Lord our God:
And his most rightful judgments are
through all the earth abroad.
 
8 His promise and his covenant,
which he hath made to his:
He hath remembered evermore,
to thousands of degrees.
9 The covenant which he hath made,
with Abraham long ago:
And faithful oath which he hath sworn,
to Isaac also:
 
10 And did confirm the same for law,
that Jacob should obey:
And for eternal covenant,
to Israel for aye.
 
11 When thus he said, lo I to you,
all Canaan land will give:
The lot of your inheritance,
wherein your seed shall live.
 
12 Although the number at that time,
did very small appear:
Yea very small, and in the land,
they then but strangers were.
 
13 While yet they walked from land to land
without a sure abode,
And while from sundry kingdoms they
did wander all abroad.
 
14 And wrong at no oppressors hand,
he suffered them to take:
But even the great and mighty Kings,
reproved for their sake.
 
15 And thus he said touch ye not those,
that mine anointed be:
Ne do the Prophets any harm,
that do pertain to me.
 
16 He called a dearth upon the land,
of bread he stroyed the store:
But he against their time of need
had sent a man before.
17 Even Joseph which had once been sold
to live a slave in woe:
 
18 Whose feet they hurt in stocks, whose soul
the iron pierced also.
 
19 Until the time came when his cause,
was known apparently:
The mighty word of God the Lord,
his faultless truth did try.
 
20 The King sent and delivered him,
from prison where he was:
The ruler of the people then
did freely let him pass.
 
21 And over all his house he made
him Lord, to bear the sway:
And of his substance made him have
the rule and all the stay.
 
22 That he might to his will instruct
the Princes of the land:
And wisdom’s lore his ancient men
might teach to understand.
 
23 Then into the Egyptian land,
came Israel also:
And Jacob in the land of Ham
did live a stranger though.
 
24 His people he exceedingly
in number made to flow:
And over all their enemies,
in strength he made them grow.
 
25 Whose hearts he turned, that they with hate
his people did entreat:
And did his servants wrongfully,
abuse with false deceit.
The forth part The fifth part  
26 His faithful servant Moses then,
and Aaron whom he chose,
He did command to go to them,
his message to disclose.
 
27 The wondrous message of his sign
among them they did show:
And wonders in the land of Ham
then they did work also.
 
28 Darkness he sent and made it dark,
instead of brighter day:
And unto his commission
they did not disobey.
 
29 He turned their waters into blood,
he did their fishes slay:
 
30 Their land brought frogs, even in the place
where their King Pharaoh lay.
 
31 He spake and at his voice there came
great swarms of noisome flies:
And all the quarters of their land
were filled with crawling lice.
 
32 He gave them cold and stony hail
in stead of minder rain:
And fiery flames within their land
he sent unto their pain.
 
33 He smote their vines, and all their trees,
whereas their figs did grow,
And all the trees within their coasts,
down did he overthrow.
 
34 He spake, then Caterpillars did,
and Grasshoppers abound.
 
35 Which eat the grass in all their land,
and fruit of all their ground.
36 The first begotten in their land,
eke deadly did he smite:
Yea, the beginning and first fruit,
of all their strength and might.
 
37 With gold and silver he them brought,
from Egypt land to pass:
And in the number of the tribes,
no feeble one there was.
 
38 Egypt was glad and joyful then,
when they did thence depart:
For terror and the fear of them,
was fallen into their heart.
 
39 To shroud them from the parching heat,
a cloud he did display,
And fire he sent to give them light,
when night had hid the day.
 
40 They asked, and he caused Quails
to rain at their request:
And fully with the bread of heaven,
their hunger he repressed.
 
41 He opened then the stony rock,
and water gushed out:
And in the dry and parched grounds,
like rivers run about.
 
42 For of his holy covenant,
aye mindful was he though:
Which to his servant Abraham,
he plighted long ago.
 
43 He brought his people forthwith mirth
and his elect with joy;
Out of the cruel land, where they
had lived in great annoy.
 
44 And of the heathen men he gave
to them the fruitful lands.
The labor of the people eke,
they took into their hands.
 
45 That they his holy statutes might
observe forevermore:
And faithfully obey his laws,
praise ye the Lord therefore.
