The First Book of Clement
1Clem
[1]O GIVE thanks to the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people. [No book]
[2]Sing to him, sing psalms to him, talk of all his wondrous works. [No book]
[3]Glory in his holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. [No book]
[4]Seek the LORD, and be strong, seek his face evermore. [No book]
[5]Remember his marvellous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth, [No book]
[6]O you descendants of Abraham his servant, you children of Jacob his chosen. [No book]
[7]He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth. [No book]
[8]He has remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. [No book]
[9]For he made his covenant with Abraham, and his oaths to Isaac; [No book]
[10]And confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant, [No book]
[11]Saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance, [No book]
[12]When they were but a few men in number, yea, very few, and strangers in it. [No book]
[13]When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people; [No book]
[14]He suffered no man to do them wrong; yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, [No book]
[15]That they might touch not his anointed, and do his prophets no harm. [No book]
[16]Moreover he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole stalk of their wheat. [No book]
[17]He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant, [No book]
[18]Whose feet they bound with fetters; he was laid in iron [No book]
[19]Until the time that his word came; the word of the LORD tried him. [No book]
[20]The king sent and released him, and made him a ruler over his people. [No book]
[21]He made him lord of his house, and ruler over all his possessions, [No book]
[22]To discipline the governors at his pleasure and to teach the elders wisdom. [No book]
[23]Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. [No book]
[24]And he increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their enemies. [No book]
[25]He turned their hearts to hate his people, to deal subtly with his servants. [No book]
[26]He sent Moses his servant, and Aaron whom he had chosen. [No book]
[27]They showed his signs among them and wonders in the land of Ham. [No book]
[28]He sent darkness, and made it dark; and yet they rebelled against his word. [No book]
[29]He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish. [No book]
[30]Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the inner chambers of their kings. [No book]
[31]He spoke, and there came different sorts of flies and lice in all their borders. [No book]
[32]He turned their rain into hail; and brought flaming fire into their land. [No book]
[33]He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and broke the trees within their borders. [No book]
[34]He spoke and the locusts came and caterpillars, and that without numbers throughout their land. [No book]
[35]And they devoured all the herbs and the fruit of their lands. [No book]
[36]He smote also all the first-born of Egypt, the first-born of all their boys. [No book]
[37]He brought them forth also with silver and gold; and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. [No book]
[38]Egypt was glad when they departed; for the fear of them fell upon them. [No book]
[39]He spread a cloud to shade them, and fire to give light in the night. [No book]
[40]The people asked, and he brought quails and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. [No book]
[41]He opened the rock and the waters gushed out; and water flowed in the dry land. [No book]
[42]For he remembered his holy promise which he had given to Abraham his servant. [No book]
[43]And he brought forth his people with joy, and his young men with gladness, [No book]
[44]And gave them the lands of the Gentiles; and they inherited the labor of the people. [No book]
[45]That they might observe his statutes and keep his laws. Praise the LORD. [No book]
