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.

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!
