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!

Tehillim (Psa) 105
105
1Give thanks to Adonai! Call on his name!
Make his deeds known among the peoples.
2Sing to him, sing praises to him,
talk about all his wonders.
3Glory in his holy name;
let those seeking Adonai have joyful hearts.
4Seek Adonai and his strength;
always seek his presence.
5Remember the wonders he has done,
his signs and his spoken rulings.
6You descendants of Avraham his servant,
you offspring of Ya‘akov, his chosen ones,
7he is Adonai our God!
His rulings are everywhere on earth.
8He remembers his covenant forever,
the word he commanded to a thousand generations,
9the covenant he made with Avraham,
the oath he swore to Yitz’chak,
10and established as a law for Ya‘akov,
for Isra’el as an everlasting covenant:
11“To you I will give the land of Kena‘an
as your allotted heritage.”
12When they were but few in number,
and not only few, but aliens there too,
13wandering from nation to nation,
from this kingdom to that people,
14he allowed no one to oppress them.
Yes, for their sakes he rebuked even kings:
15“Don’t touch my anointed ones
or do my prophets harm!”
16He called down famine on the land,
broke off all their food supply,
17but sent a man ahead of them —
Yosef, who was sold as a slave.
18They shackled his feet with chains,
and they bound him in irons;
19until the time when his word proved true,
God’s utterance kept testing him.
20The king sent and had him released,
the ruler of peoples set him free;
21he made him lord of his household,
in charge of all he owned,
22correcting his officers as he saw fit
and teaching his counselors wisdom.
23Then Isra’el too came into Egypt,
Ya‘akov lived as an alien in the land of Ham.
24There God made his people very fruitful,
made them too numerous for their foes,
25whose hearts he turned to hate his people,
and treat his servants unfairly.
26He sent his servant Moshe
and Aharon, whom he had chosen.
27They worked his signs among them,
his wonders in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness, and the land grew dark;
they did not defy his word.
29He turned their water into blood
and caused their fish to die.
30Their land swarmed with frogs,
even in the royal chambers.
31He spoke, and there came swarms of insects
and lice throughout their land.
32He gave them hail instead of rain,
with fiery [lightning] throughout their land.
33He struck their vines and fig trees,
shattering trees all over their country.
34He spoke, and locusts came,
also grasshoppers without number;
35they ate up everything green in their land,
devoured the fruit of their ground.
36He struck down all the firstborn in their land,
the firstfruits of all their strength.
37Then he led his people out,
laden with silver and gold;
among his tribes not one stumbled.
38Egypt was happy to have them leave,
because fear of [Isra’el] had seized them.
39He spread out a cloud to screen them off
and fire to give them light at night.
40When they asked, he brought them quails
and satisfied them with food from heaven.
41He split a rock, and water gushed out,
flowing as a river over the dry ground,
42for he remembered his holy promise
to his servant Avraham.
43He led out his people with joy,
his chosen ones with singing.
44Then he gave them the lands of the nations,
and they possessed what peoples had toiled to produce,
45in order to obey his laws
and follow his teachings.
Halleluyah!
