Psalms 105
105
1Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name;
Make known his doings among the peoples.
2Sing unto him, sing praises unto him;
Talk ye of all his marvelous works.
3Glory ye in his holy name:
Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
4Seek ye the LORD and his strength;
Seek his face evermore.
5Remember his marvelous works that he hath done;
His wonders, and the judgements of his mouth;
6O ye seed of Abraham his servant,
Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7He is the LORD our God:
His judgements 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 the LORD 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 senators 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 subtilly 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 cankerworm, 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 firstborn 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 labour of the peoples in possession:
45That they might keep his statutes,
And observe his laws.
Praise ye the LORD.

Psalms 105
105
1Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness.
Let the whole world know what he has done.
2Sing to him; yes, sing his praises.
Tell everyone about his wonderful deeds.
3Exult in his holy name;
rejoice, you who worship the Lord.
4Search for the Lord and for his strength;
continually seek him.
5Remember the wonders he has performed,
his miracles, and the rulings he has given,
6you children of his servant Abraham,
you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7He is the Lord our God.
His justice is seen throughout the land.
8He always stands by his covenant—
the commitment he made to a thousand generations.
9This is the covenant he made with Abraham
and the oath he swore to Isaac.
10He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree,
and to the people of Israel as a never-ending covenant:
11“I will give you the land of Canaan
as your special possession.”
12He said this when they were few in number,
a tiny group of strangers in Canaan.
13They wandered from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another.
14Yet he did not let anyone oppress them.
He warned kings on their behalf:
15“Do not touch my chosen people,
and do not hurt my prophets.”
16He called for a famine on the land of Canaan,
cutting off its food supply.
17Then he sent someone to Egypt ahead of them—
Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18They bruised his feet with fetters
and placed his neck in an iron collar.
19Until the time came to fulfill his dreams,#105:19 Hebrew his word.
the Lord tested Joseph’s character.
20Then Pharaoh sent for him and set him free;
the ruler of the nation opened his prison door.
21Joseph was put in charge of all the king’s household;
he became ruler over all the king’s possessions.
22He could instruct#105:22 As in Greek and Syriac versions; Hebrew reads bind or imprison. the king’s aides as he pleased
and teach the king’s advisers.
23Then Israel arrived in Egypt;
Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham.
24And the Lord multiplied the people of Israel
until they became too mighty for their enemies.
25Then he turned the Egyptians against the Israelites,
and they plotted against the Lord’s servants.
26But the Lord sent his servant Moses,
along with Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27They performed miraculous signs among the Egyptians,
and wonders in the land of Ham.
28The Lord blanketed Egypt in darkness,
for they had defied#105:28 As in Greek and Syriac versions; Hebrew reads had not defied. his commands to let his people go.
29He turned their water into blood,
poisoning all the fish.
30Then frogs overran the land
and even invaded the king’s bedrooms.
31When the Lord spoke, flies descended on the Egyptians,
and gnats swarmed across Egypt.
32He sent them hail instead of rain,
and lightning flashed over the land.
33He ruined their grapevines and fig trees
and shattered all the trees.
34He spoke, and hordes of locusts came—
young locusts beyond number.
35They ate up everything green in the land,
destroying all the crops in their fields.
36Then he killed the oldest son in each Egyptian home,
the pride and joy of each family.
37The Lord brought his people out of Egypt, loaded with silver and gold;
and not one among the tribes of Israel even stumbled.
38Egypt was glad when they were gone,
for they feared them greatly.
39The Lord spread a cloud above them as a covering
and gave them a great fire to light the darkness.
40They asked for meat, and he sent them quail;
he satisfied their hunger with manna—bread from heaven.
41He split open a rock, and water gushed out
to form a river through the dry wasteland.
42For he remembered his sacred promise
to his servant Abraham.
43So he brought his people out of Egypt with joy,
his chosen ones with rejoicing.
44He gave his people the lands of pagan nations,
and they harvested crops that others had planted.
45All this happened so they would follow his decrees
and obey his instructions.
Praise the Lord!
