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
God’s Faithfulness to His People
1Give thanks to Yahweh, call on His name;
proclaim His deeds among the peoples. # Ps 9:11; Is 12:4
2Sing to Him, sing praise to Him;
tell about all His wonderful works! # Ps 96:3
3Honor His holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek Yahweh rejoice. # Ps 33:21
4Search for the Lord and for His strength;
seek His face always. # Ps 27:8; 63:2
5Remember the wonderful works He has done,
His wonders, and the judgments He has pronounced, # Lit judgments of His mouth # Ps 77:11; 119:13
6you offspring of Abraham His servant,
Jacob’s descendants — His chosen ones. # Ps 135:4
7He is the Lord our God;
His judgments govern the whole earth. # Is 26:9
8He remembers His covenant forever,
the promise He ordained
for a thousand generations # Dt 7:9; Ps 106:45; Lk 1:42 —
9the covenant He made with Abraham,
swore # Lit and His oath to Isaac, # Gn 12:7; 22:16-18
10and confirmed to Jacob as a decree
and to Israel as an everlasting covenant: # Gn 28:13-15
11“I will give the land of Canaan to you
as your inherited portion.” # Gn 13:15; 15:18; Ps 78:55
12When they were few in number,
very few indeed,
and temporary residents in Canaan, # Gn 34:30; Dt 7:7
13wandering from nation to nation
and from one kingdom to another, # Dt 26:5
14He allowed no one to oppress them;
He rebuked kings on their behalf: # Gn 12:17; 20:3,7
15“Do not touch My anointed ones, # Gn 20:6-7; 26:11
or harm My prophets.” # 1Ch 16:8-22
16He called down famine against the land
and destroyed the entire food supply. # Gn 41:54; Lv 26:26; Ezk 4:16
17He had sent a man ahead of them —
Joseph, who was sold as a slave. # Gn 37:28-36; 45:5; Ac 7:9
18They hurt his feet with shackles;
his neck was put in an iron collar. # Gn 39:20
19Until the time his prediction came true,
the word of the Lord tested him. # Gn 40:20-21
20The king sent for him and released him;
the ruler of peoples set him free. # Gn 41:14
21He made him master of his household,
ruler over all his possessions # Gn 41:40-43 —
22binding # LXX, Syr, Vg read teaching his officials at will
and instructing his elders. # Gn 41:44
23Then Israel went to Egypt;
Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham. # = Egypt # Gn 46:6; Ac 7:15; 13:17
24The Lord # Lit He made His people very fruitful;
He made them more numerous than their foes, # Ex 1:7,9; Dt 26:5
25whose hearts He turned to hate His people
and to deal deceptively with His servants. # Ex 1:8-14; Ac 7:19
26He sent Moses His servant,
and Aaron, whom He had chosen. # Ex 3:10; 4:12,14
27They performed His miraculous signs among them,
and wonders in the land of Ham. # = Egypt # Ex 7:3; 11:9-10; Ps 78:43-51
28He sent darkness, and it became dark —
for did they not defy # LXX, Syr read for they did defy His commands? # Ex 10:21-23; Ps 99:7
29He turned their water into blood
and caused their fish to die. # Ex 7:20-21
30Their land was overrun with frogs,
even in their royal chambers. # Ex 8:3,6
31He spoke, and insects came # Ex 8:21 —
gnats throughout their country. # Ex 8:16-17
32He gave them hail for rain,
and lightning throughout their land. # Ex 9:23-25
33He struck their vines and fig trees
and shattered the trees of their territory. # Ps 78:47
34He spoke, and locusts came —
young locusts without number.
35They devoured all the vegetation in their land
and consumed the produce of their land. # Ex 10:12-15
36He struck all the firstborn in their land,
all their first progeny. # Ex 12:29; 13:15; Ps 78:51
37Then He brought Israel out with silver and gold,
and no one among His tribes stumbled. # Ex 12:35-36
38Egypt was glad when they left,
for the dread of Israel # Lit them had fallen on them. # Ex 12:33; 15:16
39He spread a cloud as a covering
and gave a fire to light up the night. # Ex 13:21; Neh 9:12; Ps 78:14
40They asked, and He brought quail
and satisfied them with bread from heaven. # Ex 16:15; Ps 78:24
41He opened a rock, and water gushed out;
it flowed like a stream in the desert. # Ex 17:6; Nm 20:11; Ps 78:15
42For He remembered His holy promise
to Abraham His servant. # Ex 2:24
43He brought His people out with rejoicing,
His chosen ones with shouts of joy. # Ex 15:1; Ps 106:12
44He gave them the lands of the nations,
and they inherited
what other peoples had worked for. # Jos 24:13; Ps 78:55
45All this happened
so that they might keep His statutes
and obey His instructions. # Dt 4:1,40; Ps 78:7
Hallelujah!
