Psalms 105
105
1Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name;
Make known among the peoples his doings.
2Sing unto him, sing praises unto him;
Talk ye of all his marvellous works.
3Glory ye in his holy name:
Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
4Seek ye Jehovah 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 ones.
7He is Jehovah 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,
9 The covenant which he made with Abraham,
And his oath unto Isaac,
10And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute,
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 sojourners in it.
13And they went about from nation to nation,
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 ones,
And do my prophets no harm.
16And he called for a famine upon the land;
He brake the whole staff of bread.
17He sent a man before them;
Joseph was sold for a servant:
18His feet they hurt with fetters:
He was laid in chains of iron,
19Until the time that his word came to pass,
The word of Jehovah tried him.
20The king sent and loosed him;
Even the ruler of peoples, 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 elders 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 adversaries.
25He turned their heart to hate his people,
To deal subtly with his servants.
26He sent Moses his servant,
And Aaron whom he had chosen.
27They set among them his signs,
And wonders in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness, and made it dark;
And they rebelled not against his words.
29He turned their waters into blood,
And slew their fish.
30Their land swarmed with frogs
In the chambers of their kings.
31He spake, and there came swarms of flies,
And lice in all their borders.
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 borders.
34He spake, and the locust came,
And the grasshopper, and that without number,
35And did eat up every herb in their land,
And did eat up the fruit of their ground.
36He smote also all the first-born in their land,
The chief of all their strength.
37And he brought them forth with silver and gold;
And there was not one feeble person among his tribes.
38Egypt was glad when they departed;
For the fear of them had fallen upon them.
39He spread a cloud for a covering,
And fire to give light in the night.
40They asked, and he brought quails,
And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41He opened the rock, and waters gushed out;
They ran in the dry places like a river.
42For he remembered his holy word,
And Abraham his servant.
43And he brought forth his people with joy,
And his chosen with singing.
44And he gave them the lands of the nations;
And they took the labor of the peoples in possession:
45That they might keep his statutes,
And observe his laws.
Praise ye Jehovah.

Psalm 105
105
Tell of All His Wondrous Works
1 #
Ps. 106:1; 1 Chr. 16:34; Isa. 12:4; For ver. 1-15, see 1 Chr. 16:8-22 Oh give thanks to the Lord; #Ps. 99:6; 116:13, 17; [Gen. 4:26] call upon his name;
#
Ps. 145:4, 5, 11, 12 make known his deeds among the peoples!
2Sing to him, sing praises to him;
#
Ps. 77:12
tell of all his wondrous works!
3Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
4Seek the Lord and his #See Ps. 78:61 strength;
# [Ps. 27:8] seek his presence continually!
5Remember the #Ps. 77:11; See Ps. 72:18 wondrous works that he has done,
his miracles, and #Ex. 6:6; 7:4the judgments he uttered,
6O offspring of #ver. 42 Abraham, his servant,
children of Jacob, his #ver. 43; Ps. 106:5; [Ps. 135:4]chosen ones!
7He is the Lord our God;
his #Isa. 26:9judgments are in all the earth.
8He #ver. 42; Ps. 106:45; 111:5; Luke 1:72 remembers his covenant forever,
the word that he commanded, for #Deut. 7:9a thousand generations,
9 #
Gen. 17:2; See Gen. 22:15-18 the covenant that he made with Abraham,
his #Gen. 26:3sworn promise to Isaac,
10which he confirmed to #Gen. 28:13, 14; 35:11, 12Jacob as a statute,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
11saying, #Gen. 13:15; 15:18 “To you I will give the land of Canaan
as #Ps. 78:55your portion for an inheritance.”
12When they were #Gen. 34:30; Deut. 7:7; 26:5 few in number,
of little account, and #Heb. 11:9sojourners in it,
13wandering from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another people,
14he #[Gen. 35:5] allowed no one to oppress them;
he #Gen. 12:17; 20:3rebuked kings on their account,
15saying, #Gen. 20:6, 7; [Gen. 26:11]“Touch not my anointed ones,
do my prophets no harm!”
16When he #Gen. 41:54; [2 Kgs. 8:1; Hag. 1:11] summoned a famine on the land
and #Lev. 26:26; Isa. 3:1; Ezek. 4:16; [Ps. 104:15]broke all supply#105:16 Hebrew staff of bread,
17he had #Gen. 45:5; 50:20 sent a man ahead of them,
Joseph, who was #Gen. 37:28, 36; Acts 7:9sold as a slave.
18His #[Gen. 39:20]feet were hurt with fetters;
his neck was put in a collar of iron;
19until #Gen. 40:20, 21; 41:53, 54 what he had said came to pass,
the word of the Lord #[Judg. 7:4]tested him.
20 #
Gen. 41:14 The king sent and #Ps. 146:7released him;
the ruler of the peoples set him free;
21he #Gen. 41:40made him lord of his house
and ruler of all his possessions,
22to bind#105:22 Septuagint, Syriac, Jerome instruct his princes at his pleasure
and to teach his elders wisdom.
23Then #Gen. 46:6; Acts 7:15 Israel came to Egypt;
Jacob #Acts 13:17 sojourned in #Ps. 106:22; [Ps. 78:51]the land of Ham.
24And the Lord #Ex. 1:7; Deut. 26:5made his people very fruitful
and made them stronger than their foes.
25He #[Ex. 9:12; Rom. 11:8]; See Ex. 1:8-14 turned their hearts to hate his people,
to #Ex. 1:10; Acts 7:19deal craftily with his servants.
26He #Ex. 3:10; 4:12 sent Moses, his servant,
and Aaron, #Num. 16:5; 17:5whom he had chosen.
27 # For ver. 27-36, see Ps. 78:43-51 They performed his signs among them
and miracles in #[See ver. 23 above]the land of Ham.
28He #Ex. 10:21-23 sent darkness, and made the land dark;
they #Ps. 99:7did not rebel#105:28 Septuagint, Syriac omit not against his words.
29He turned their waters into blood
and #Ex. 7:21caused their fish to die.
30Their land swarmed with frogs,
even in #Ex. 8:3the chambers of their kings.
31He spoke, and there came #Ex. 8:21 swarms of flies,
#
Ex. 8:16
and gnats throughout their country.
32He gave them hail for rain,
and fiery #Ex. 9:23lightning bolts through their land.
33He struck down their vines and fig trees,
and #Ex. 9:25shattered the trees of their country.
34He spoke, and the #See Ex. 10:12-15locusts came,
young locusts without number,
35which devoured all the vegetation in their land
and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36He #See Ps. 78:51struck down all the firstborn in their land,
# See Ps. 78:51 the firstfruits of all their strength.
37Then he brought out Israel with #Ex. 12:35, 36silver and gold,
and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.
38 #
Ex. 12:23 Egypt was glad when they departed,
for #Ex. 15:16dread of them had fallen upon it.
39He #[Job 36:20; Isa. 4:5]; See Ex. 13:21spread a cloud for a covering,
and fire to give light by night.
40 #
Ps. 78:18, 27 They asked, and he #Ex. 16:13 brought quail,
and gave them #Ps. 78:24, 25; [John 6:31]bread from heaven in abundance.
41He opened the rock, and #See Ps. 78:15 water gushed out;
it flowed through #See Ps. 63:1the desert like a river.
42For he #ver. 8, 9; Ex. 2:24 remembered his holy promise,
and #[Gen. 15:14]; See ver. 6Abraham, his servant.
43So he brought his people out with joy,
his #[See ver. 42 above] chosen ones with #[Isa. 35:10]; See Ex. 15:1-21singing.
44And he #Josh. 24:13; [Ps. 78:55]gave them the lands of the nations,
and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples’ toil,
45that they might #Deut. 4:1, 40 keep his statutes
and #Ps. 78:7 observe his laws.
# See Ps. 104:35 Praise the Lord!
