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
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!
