The Lord Can Be Trusted
1 #
3 Macc 2.1. Praise the Lord
and pray in his name!
Tell everyone
what he has done.
2Sing praises to the Lord!
Tell about his miracles.
3Celebrate and worship
his holy name
with all your heart.
4Trust the Lord
and his mighty power.
5Remember his miracles
and all his wonders
and his fair decisions.
6You belong to the family
of Abraham, his servant;
you are his chosen ones,
the descendants of Jacob.
7The Lord is our God,
bringing justice
everywhere on earth.
8He will never forget
his agreement or his promises,
not in thousands of years.

11when he said, “I'll give you
the land of Canaan.”

only a few of us,
and we were homeless.
13We wandered from nation
to nation, from one country
to another.
14 #
Gn 20.3-7. God did not let anyone
mistreat our people.
Instead he protected us
by punishing rulers
15and telling them,
“Don't touch my chosen leaders
or harm my prophets!”

around his legs and neck.
19Joseph remained a slave
until his own words
had come true,
and the Lord had finished
testing him.
20 #
Gn 41.14. Then the king of Egypt
set Joseph free
21 #
Gn 41.39-41. and put him in charge
of everything he owned.
22Joseph was in command
of the officials,
and he taught the leaders
how to use wisdom.
23 #
Gn 46.5-7;
Gn 47.11. Jacob and his family
came and settled in Egypt
as foreigners.
24 #
Ex 1.7-14. They were the Lord's people,
so he let them grow stronger
than their enemies.
25They served the Lord,
and he made the Egyptians plan
hateful things against them.
26 #
Ex 3.1—4.17. God sent his servant Moses.
He also chose and sent Aaron
27to his people in Egypt,
and they worked miracles
and wonders there.
28 #

and he sent darkness
to cover Egypt.
29 #
Ex 7.17-21. God turned their rivers
into streams of blood,
and the fish all died.
30 #
Ex 8.1-6. Frogs were everywhere,
even in the royal palace.
31 #
Ex 8.20-24;
Ex 8.16,17. When God gave the command,
flies and gnats
swarmed all around.
32 #

and their fig trees,
and he made splinters
of all the other trees.

and more grasshoppers came
than could be counted.
35They ate every green plant
and all the crops that grew
in the land of Egypt.
36 #
Ex 12.29. Then God took the life
of every first-born son.
37 #
Ex 12.33-36. When God led Israel from Egypt,
they took silver and gold,
and no one was left behind.
38The Egyptians were afraid
and gladly let them go.
39 #
Ex 13.21,22. God hid them under a cloud
and guided them by fire
during the night.
40 #
Ex 16.2-15. When they asked for food,
he sent more birds
than they could eat.
41 #
Ex 17.1-7; Nu 20.2-13. God even split open a rock,
and streams of water
gushed into the desert.
42God never forgot
his sacred promise
to his servant Abraham.
43When the Lord rescued
his chosen people from Egypt,
they celebrated with songs.
44 #
Js 11.16-23. The Lord gave them the land
and everything else
the nations had worked for.
45He did this so that his people
would obey all his laws.
Shout praises to the Lord!

Psalms 105
105
God’s Faithfulness to His People
1Give thanks to Yahweh, call on His name;
proclaim His deeds among the peoples. # Ps 9:11; Is 12:4
2Sing to Him, sing praise to Him;
tell about all His wonderful works! # Ps 96:3
3Honor His holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek Yahweh rejoice. # Ps 33:21
4Search for the Lord and for His strength;
seek His face always. # Ps 27:8; 63:2
5Remember the wonderful works He has done,
His wonders, and the judgments He has pronounced, # Lit judgments of His mouth # Ps 77:11; 119:13
6you offspring of Abraham His servant,
Jacob’s descendants — His chosen ones. # Ps 135:4
7He is the Lord our God;
His judgments govern the whole earth. # Is 26:9
8He remembers His covenant forever,
the promise He ordained
for a thousand generations # Dt 7:9; Ps 106:45; Lk 1:42 —
9the covenant He made with Abraham,
swore # Lit and His oath to Isaac, # Gn 12:7; 22:16-18
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!
