Psalms 105
105
God’s Love for Israel
1Give thanks to the Lord and pray to him.
Tell the nations what he has done.
2Sing to him; sing praises to him.
Tell about all his miracles.
3Be glad that you are his;
let those who seek the Lord be happy.
4Depend on the Lord and his strength;
always go to him for help.
5Remember the miracles he has done;
remember his wonders and his decisions.
6You are descendants of his servant Abraham,
the children of Jacob, his chosen people.
7He is the Lord our God.
His laws are for all the world.
8He will keep his agreement forever;
he will keep his promises always.
9He will keep the agreement he made with Abraham
and the promise he made to Isaac.
10He made it a law for the people of Jacob;
he made it an agreement with Israel to last forever.
11The Lord said, “I will give you the land of Canaan,
and it will belong to you.”
12Then God’s people were few in number.
They were strangers in the land.
13They went from one nation to another,
from one kingdom to another.
14But the Lord did not let anyone hurt them;
he warned kings not to harm them.
15He said, “Don’t touch my chosen people,
and don’t harm my prophets.”
16God ordered a time of hunger in the land,
and he destroyed all the food.
17Then he sent a man ahead of them—
Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18They put chains around his feet
and an iron ring around his neck.
19Then the time he had spoken of came,
and the Lord’s words proved that Joseph was right.
20The king of Egypt sent for Joseph and freed him;
the ruler of the people set him free.
21He made him the master of his house;
Joseph was in charge of his riches.
22He could order the princes as he wished.
He taught the older men to be wise.
23Then his father Israel came to Egypt;
Jacob lived in Egypt.
24The Lord made his people grow in number,
and he made them stronger than their enemies.
25He caused the Egyptians to hate his people
and to make plans against his servants.
26Then he sent his servant Moses,
and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27They did many signs among the Egyptians
and worked wonders in Egypt.
28The Lord sent darkness and made the land dark,
but the Egyptians turned against what he said.
29So he changed their water into blood
and made their fish die.
30Then their country was filled with frogs,
even in the bedrooms of their rulers.
31The Lord spoke and flies came,
and gnats were everywhere in the country.
32He made hail fall like rain
and sent lightning through their land.
33He struck down their grapevines and fig trees,
and he destroyed every tree in the country.
34He spoke and grasshoppers came;
the locusts were too many to count.
35They ate all the plants in the land
and everything the earth produced.
36The Lord also killed all the firstborn sons in the land,
the oldest son of each family.
37Then he brought his people out,
and they carried with them silver and gold.
Not one of his people stumbled.
38The Egyptians were glad when they left,
because the Egyptians were afraid of them.
39The Lord covered them with a cloud
and lit up the night with fire.
40When they asked, he brought them quail
and filled them with bread from heaven.
41God split the rock, and water flowed out;
it ran like a river through the desert.
42He remembered his holy promise
to his servant Abraham.
43So God brought his people out with joy,
his chosen ones with singing.
44He gave them lands of other nations,
so they received what others had worked for.
45This was so they would keep his orders
and obey his teachings.
Praise the Lord!

Psalm 105
105
1O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name:
Make known his deeds among the people.
2Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him:
Talk ye of all his wondrous works.
3Glory ye in his holy name:
Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
4Seek the LORD, and his strength:
Seek his face evermore.
5Remember his marvellous works that he hath done;
His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6O ye seed of Abraham his servant,
Ye children of Jacob his chosen.
7He is the LORD our God:
His judgments are in all the earth.
8He hath remembered his covenant for ever,
The word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
9Which covenant he made with Abraham,
And his oath unto Isaac;
10And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law,
And to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
11Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,
The lot of your inheritance:
12When they were but a few men in number;
Yea, very few, and strangers in it.
13When they went from one nation to another,
From one kingdom to another people;
14He 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.
16Moreover he called for a famine upon the land:
He brake the whole staff of bread.
17He sent a man before them,
Even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
18Whose feet they hurt with fetters:
He was laid in iron:
19Until the time that his word came:
The word of the LORD tried him.
20The king sent and loosed him;
Even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
21He made him lord of his house,
And ruler of all his substance:
22To bind his princes at his pleasure;
And teach his senators wisdom.
23Israel also came into Egypt;
And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24And he increased his people greatly;
And made them stronger than their enemies.
25He turned their heart to hate his people,
To deal subtilly with his servants.
26He sent Moses his servant;
And Aaron whom he had chosen.
27They shewed his signs among them,
And wonders in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness, and made it dark;
And they rebelled not against his word.
29He turned their waters into blood,
And slew their fish.
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.
33He smote their vines also and their fig trees;
And brake the trees of their coasts.
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.
36He smote also all the firstborn in their land,
The chief of all their strength.
37He brought them forth also with silver and gold:
And there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
38Egypt was glad when they departed:
For the fear of them fell upon them.
39He spread a cloud for a covering;
And fire to give light in the night.
40 The people asked, and he brought quails,
And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out;
They ran in the dry places like a river.
42For he remembered his holy promise,
And Abraham his servant.
43And he brought forth his people with joy,
And his chosen with gladness:
44And gave them the lands of the heathen:
And they inherited the labour of the people;
45That they might observe his statutes,
And keep his laws.
Praise ye the LORD.
