He killed their fig trees
1 O give thanks unto the LORD;
call upon his name: make known his deeds
among the people.
2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him:
talk ye of all his wondrous works.
3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the
LORD.
4 Seek the LORD, and his strength:
seek his face evermore.
5
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the
judgments of his mouth;
6
O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
7
He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
8
He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a
thousand generations.
9
Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
10
And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an
everlasting covenant:
11
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your
inheritance:
12
When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in
it.
13
When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another
people;
14
He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their
sakes;
15
Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
16
Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of
bread.
17
He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
18
Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
19
Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
20
The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go
free.
21
He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
22
To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
23
Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24
And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their
enemies.
25
He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his
servants.
26
He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.
27
They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28
He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his
word.
God sent a famine on Egypt. [
1]
29He turned their
waters into blood, and slew their fish.
He turned their waters into blood. [
2]
30Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.
31He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.
32He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
He smashed them with hail [3],
and burned them with fire.
33He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the
trees of their coasts.
He killed their fig trees. [
4]
34He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,
35And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
He sent locusts [
5] and caterpillars [
6].
36He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
37
He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one
feeble person among their tribes.
38
Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.
39
He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
He killed all their firstborn sons. [
7]
40
The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread
of heaven.
He fed the Israelites with quails and bread from heaven.
41
He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places
like a river.
42
For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
43
And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:
He gave them water from a rock.
44
And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of
the people;
45
That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the
LORD.
And he gave them the land that belonged to heathens.
