Psalms 105
105
1Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name!
Make his doings known among the peoples.
2Sing to him, sing praises to him!
Tell of all his marvelous works.
3Glory in his holy name.
Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
4Seek Yahweh and his strength.
Seek his face forever more.
5Remember his marvelous works that he has done:
his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
6you offspring of Abraham, his servant,
you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7He is Yahweh, our God.
His judgments are in all the earth.
8He has remembered his covenant forever,
the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
9the covenant which he made with Abraham,
his oath to Isaac,
10and confirmed it to Jacob for a statute;
to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
11saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan,
the lot of your inheritance,”
12when they were but a few men in number,
yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
13They went about from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another people.
14He allowed no one to do them wrong.
Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
15“Don’t touch my anointed ones!
Do my prophets no harm!”
16He called for a famine on the land.
He destroyed the food supplies.
17He sent a man before them.
Joseph was sold for a slave.
18They bruised his feet with shackles.
His neck was locked in irons,
19until the time that his word happened,
and Yahweh’s word proved him true.
20The king sent and freed him,
even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
21He made him lord of his house,
and ruler of all of his possessions,
22to discipline his princes at his pleasure,
and to teach his elders wisdom.
23Israel also came into Egypt.
Jacob lived in the land of Ham.
24He increased his people greatly,
and made them stronger than their adversaries.
25He turned their heart to hate his people,
to conspire against his servants.
26He sent Moses, his servant,
and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27They performed miracles among them,
and wonders in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness, and made it dark.
They didn’t rebel against his words.
29He turned their waters into blood,
and killed their fish.
30Their land swarmed with frogs,
even in the rooms of their kings.
31He spoke, and swarms of flies came,
and lice in all their borders.
32He gave them hail for rain,
with lightning in their land.
33He struck their vines and also their fig trees,
and shattered the trees of their country.
34He spoke, and the locusts came
with the grasshoppers, without number.
35They ate up every plant in their land,
and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36He struck also all the firstborn in their land,
the first fruits of all their manhood.
37He brought them out with silver and gold.
There was not one feeble person among his tribes.
38Egypt was glad when they departed,
for the fear of them had fallen on them.
39He spread a cloud for a covering,
fire to give light in the night.
40They asked, and he brought quails,
and satisfied them with the bread of the sky.
41He opened the rock, and waters gushed out.
They ran as a river in the dry places.
42For he remembered his holy word,
and Abraham, his servant.
43He brought his people out with joy,
his chosen with singing.
44He gave them the lands of the nations.
They took the labor of the peoples in possession,
45that they might keep his statutes,
and observe his laws.
Praise Yah!

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!
