Psalms 105
105
The Eternal Faithfulness of the Lord
1Oh, #1 Chr. 16:8–22, 34; Ps. 106:1; Is. 12:4give thanks to the Lord!
Call upon His name;
#Ps. 145:12Make known His deeds among the peoples!
2Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him;
#Ps. 119:27Talk of all His wondrous works!
3Glory in His holy name;
Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord!
4Seek the Lord and His strength;
#Ps. 27:8Seek His face evermore!
5#Ps. 77:11Remember His marvelous works which He has done,
His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,
6O seed of Abraham His servant,
You children of Jacob, His chosen ones!
7He is the Lord our God;
#(Is. 26:9)His judgments are in all the earth.
8He #Luke 1:72remembers His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations,
9#Gen. 17:2; Luke 1:73; (Gal. 3:17); Heb. 6:17The covenant which He made with Abraham,
And His oath to Isaac,
10And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
11Saying, #Gen. 13:15; 15:18“To you I will give the land of Canaan
As the allotment of your inheritance,”
12#Gen. 34:30; (Deut. 7:7)When they were few in number,
Indeed very few, #Gen. 23:4; Heb. 11:9and strangers in it.
13When they went from one nation to another,
From one kingdom to another people,
14#Gen. 35:5He permitted no one to do them wrong;
Yes, #Gen. 12:17He rebuked kings for their sakes,
15Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones,
And do My prophets no harm.”
16Moreover #Gen. 41:54He called for a famine in the land;
He destroyed all the #Lev. 26:26; Is. 3:1; Ezek. 4:16provision of bread.
17#(Gen. 45:5)He sent a man before them—
Joseph—who #Gen. 37:28, 36; Acts 7:9was sold as a slave.
18#Gen. 40:15They hurt his feet with fetters,
He was laid in irons.
19Until the time that his word came to pass,
#Gen. 39:11–21; 41:25, 42, 43The word of the Lord tested him.
20#Gen. 41:14The king sent and released him,
The ruler of the people let him go free.
21#Gen. 41:40–44He made him lord of his house,
And ruler of all his possessions,
22To bind his princes at his pleasure,
And teach his elders wisdom.
23#Gen. 46:6; Acts 7:15Israel also came into Egypt,
And Jacob dwelt #Ps. 78:51in the land of Ham.
24#Ex. 1:7, 9He increased His people greatly,
And made them stronger than their enemies.
25#Ex. 1:8–10; 4:21He turned their heart to hate His people,
To deal craftily with His servants.
26#Ex. 3:10; 4:12–15He sent Moses His servant,
And Aaron whom He had chosen.
27They #Ex. 7—12; Ps. 78:43performed His signs among them,
And wonders in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness, and made it dark;
And they did not rebel against His word.
29#Ex. 7:20, 21; Ps. 78:44He turned their waters into blood,
And killed their fish.
30#Ex. 8:6Their land abounded with frogs,
Even in the chambers of their kings.
31#Ex. 8:16, 17He spoke, and there came swarms of flies,
And lice in all their territory.
32#Ex. 9:23–25He gave them hail for rain,
And flaming fire in their land.
33#Ps. 78:47He struck their vines also, and their fig trees,
And splintered the trees of their territory.
34#Ex. 10:4He spoke, and locusts came,
Young locusts without number,
35And ate up all the vegetation in their land,
And devoured the fruit of their ground.
36#Ex. 12:29; 13:15; Ps. 135:8; 136:10He also destroyed all the firstborn in their land,
#Gen. 49:3The first of all their strength.
37#Ex. 12:35, 36He also brought them out with silver and gold,
And there was none feeble among His tribes.
38#Ex. 12:33Egypt was glad when they departed,
For the fear of them had fallen upon them.
39#Ex. 13:21; Neh. 9:12; Ps. 78:14; Is. 4:5He spread a cloud for a covering,
And fire to give light in the night.
40#Ex. 16:12The people asked, and He brought quail,
And #Ps. 78:24satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41#Ex. 17:6; Num. 20:11; Ps. 78:15; 114:8; Is. 48:21; (1 Cor. 10:4)He opened the rock, and water gushed out;
It ran in the dry places like a river.
42For He remembered #Gen. 15:13, 14; Ps. 105:8His holy promise,
And Abraham His servant.
43He brought out His people with joy,
His chosen ones with gladness.
44#Josh. 11:16–23; 13:7; Ps. 78:55He gave them the lands of the Gentiles,
And they inherited the labor of the nations,
45#(Deut. 4:1, 40)That they might observe His statutes
And keep His laws.
Praise the Lord!

Psalms 105
105
Psalm 105
1Give thanks to the Lord.
Call on him.
Make known among the nations what he has done.
2Sing to him.
Make music to praise him.
Meditate on all the miracles he has performed.
3Brag about his holy name.
Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
4Search for the Lord and his strength.
Always seek his presence.
5Remember the miracles he performed,
the amazing things he did, and the judgments he pronounced,
6you descendants of his servant Abraham,
you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7He is the Lord our God.
His judgments are pronounced throughout the earth.
8He always remembers his promise,#105:8 Or “covenant.”
the word that he commanded for a thousand generations,
9the promise that he made to Abraham,
and his sworn oath to Isaac.
10He confirmed it as a law for Jacob,
as an everlasting promise to Israel,
11by saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan.
It is your share of the inheritance.”
12While the people of Israel were few in number,
a small group of foreigners living in that land,
13they wandered from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another.
14He didn’t permit anyone to oppress them.
He warned kings about them:
15“Do not touch my anointed ones
or harm my prophets.”
16He brought famine to the land.
He took away their food supply.
17He sent a man ahead of them.
He sent Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18They hurt his feet with shackles,
and cut into his neck with an iron collar.
19The Lord’s promise tested him through fiery trials
until his prediction came true.
20The king sent someone to release him.
The ruler of nations set him free.
21He made Joseph the master of his palace
and the ruler of all his possessions.
22Joseph trained the king’s officers the way he wanted
and taught his respected leaders wisdom.
23Then Israel came to Egypt.
Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham.
24The Lord made his people grow rapidly in number
and stronger than their enemies.
25He changed their minds so that they hated his people,
and they dealt treacherously with his servants.
26He sent his servant Moses, and he sent Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27They displayed his miraculous signs among them
and did amazing things in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness and made ⌞their land⌟ dark.
They did not rebel against his orders.
29He turned their water into blood
and caused their fish to die.
30He made their land swarm with frogs,
even in the kings’ bedrooms.
31He spoke, and swarms of flies and gnats
infested their whole territory.
32He gave them hail and lightning
instead of rain throughout their land.
33He struck their grapevines and fig trees
and smashed the trees in their territory.
34He spoke, and countless locusts and grasshoppers came.
35They devoured all the plants in the land.
They devoured the crops in the fields.
36He killed all the firstborn sons,
the first ones born in the land when their fathers were young.
37He brought Israel out with silver and gold,
and no one among his tribes stumbled.
38The Egyptians were terrified of Israel,
so they were glad when Israel left.
39He spread out a cloud as a protective covering
and a fire to light up the night.
40The Israelites asked, and he brought them quail
and filled them with bread from heaven.
41He opened a rock, and water gushed
and flowed like a river through the dry places.
42He remembered his holy promise to his servant Abraham.
43He brought his people out with joy,
his chosen ones with a song of joy.
44He gave them the lands of ⌞other⌟ nations,
and they inherited what others had worked for
45so that they would obey his laws
and follow his teachings.
Hallelujah!
