Psalms 105

Psalm 105
1¶ O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples.
2Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him; speak of all his wondrous works.
3Glory in his holy name; let the heart of those that seek the Lord rejoice.
4Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his face continually.
5Remember his marvellous works that he has done, his wonders and the judgments of his mouth,
6O ye seed of Abraham his slave, ye sons of Jacob his chosen.
7He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
8¶ He has remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded for a thousand generations,
9which covenant he made with Abraham and his oath unto Isaac
10and confirmed the same unto Jacob by decree, 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 nation to nation from one kingdom to another people,
14he suffered no man to do them wrong; yea, he chastened 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 broke the whole staff of bread.
17He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a slave,
18whose feet they hurt with fetters; his soul was laid in iron.
19Until the time that his word came, the spoken word of the Lord purified him.
20The king sent and loosed him, the ruler of the people 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 elders wisdom.
23Afterwards Israel entered into Egypt, and Jacob was a stranger in the land of Ham.
24And he increased his people greatly and made them stronger than their enemies.
25¶ He turned their heart to hate his people to think evil against his slaves.
26He sent Moses his slave and Aaron whom he had chosen.
27He put the words of his signs in them and his wonders in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness and made it dark, and they did not rebel 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 spoke, and swarms of flies and lice came within all their borders.
32He turned their rain into hail, into flaming fire in their land.
33He smote their vines also and their fig trees and broke the trees within their borders.
34He spoke, and the locusts came and caterpillars without number,
35and ate up all the grass 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.
37And he brought them forth with silver and gold, and there was not one sick 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 and became a river.
42For he remembered his holy word with Abraham his slave.
43And he brought forth his people with joy and his chosen with singing
44and gave them the lands of the Gentiles, and they inherited the labour of the nations,
45that they might observe his statutes and keep his laws. Halelu-JAH.

Psalms 105
105
1Give thanks to the Lord and call out to him!
Tell the nations what he has done!
2Sing to him; sing praises to him.
Tell about the amazing things he has done.
3Be proud of his holy name.
You followers of the Lord, be happy!
4Depend on the Lord for strength.
Always go to him for help.
5Remember the amazing things he has done.
Remember his miracles and his fair decisions.
6You belong to the family of his servant Abraham.
You are descendants of Jacob, the people God chose.
7The Lord is our God.
He rules the whole world.
8He will remember his agreement forever.
He will always keep the promises he made to his people.
9He will keep the agreement he made with Abraham
and the promise he made to Isaac.
10He gave it as a law to Jacob.
He gave it to Israel as an agreement that will last forever!
11He said, “I will give you the land of Canaan.
It will be your very own.”
12At the time God said this, there were only a few of his people,
and they were strangers there.
13They traveled around from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another.
14But the Lord did not let anyone mistreat them.
He warned kings not to harm them.
15He said, “Don’t hurt my chosen people.
Don’t harm my prophets.”
16He caused a famine in that country,
and people did not have enough food.
17But he sent a man named Joseph to go ahead of them.
Joseph was sold like a slave.
18They tied a rope around his feet
and put an iron ring around his neck.
19Joseph was a slave until what he said had really happened.
The Lord’s message proved that Joseph was right.
20So the king of Egypt set him free.
That nation’s leader let him out of jail.
21He put Joseph in charge of his house.
Joseph took care of everything the king owned.
22Joseph gave instructions to the other leaders.
He taught the older men.
23Then Israel came to Egypt.
Jacob lived there in Ham’s country.#105:23 Ham’s country Or “Egypt.” The Egyptians were Ham’s descendants. See Gen. 10:6-20.
24Jacob’s family became very large
and more powerful than their enemies.
25So the Egyptians began to hate his people.
They made plans against his servants.
26So the Lord sent Moses, his servant,
and Aaron, his chosen priest.
27He used Moses and Aaron
to do many miracles in Ham’s country.
28He sent darkness to cover their land,
but the Egyptians did not listen to him.
29So he changed the water into blood,
and all their fish died.
30Their country was filled with frogs,
even in the king’s bedroom.
31The Lord gave the command,
and the flies and gnats came.
They were everywhere!
32He made the rain become hail.
Lightning struck throughout their land.
33He destroyed their vines and fig trees.
He destroyed every tree in their country.
34He gave the command, and the locusts and grasshoppers came.
There were too many to count!
35They ate all the plants in the country,
including all the crops in their fields.
36Then the Lord killed every firstborn in their country.
He killed their oldest sons.
37He led his people out of Egypt.
They were carrying gold and silver,
and none of them stumbled or fell behind.
38Egypt was happy to see his people go,
because they were afraid of them.
39The Lord spread out his cloud like a blanket.
He used his column of fire to give his people light at night.
40They asked for food, and he sent them quail.
He also gave them plenty of bread from heaven.
41He split the rock, and water came bubbling out.
A river began flowing in the desert!
42The Lord remembered his holy promise
that he had made to his servant Abraham.
43He brought his people out of Egypt.
They came out rejoicing and singing their happy songs!
44Then he gave his people the lands of other nations.
His people got what others had worked for.
45He did this so that his people would obey his laws
and follow his teachings.
Praise the Lord!
