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!

Psalms 105
105
PSALM 105.
1Alleluia.
Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2Who shall declare the powers of the Lord? who shall set forth all his praises?
3Blessed are they that keep judgment, and do justice at all times.
4Remember us, O Lord, in the favour of thy people: visit us with thy salvation.
5That we may see the good of thy chosen, that we may rejoice in the joy of thy nation: that thou mayst be praised with thy inheritance.
6We have sinned with our fathers: we have acted unjustly, we have wrought iniquity.
7Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt: they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies: And they provoked to wrath going up to the sea, even the Red Sea.
8And he saved them for his own name's sake: that he might make his power known.
9And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up: and he led them through the depths, as in a wilderness.
10And he saved them from the hand of them that hated them: and he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11And the water covered them that afflicted them: there was not one of them left.
12And they believed his words: and they sang his praises.
13They had quickly done, they forgot his works: and they waited not for his counsels.
14And they coveted their desire in the desert: and they tempted God in the place without water.
15And he gave them their request: and sent fulness into their souls.
16And they provoked Moses in the camp, Aaron the holy one of the Lord.
17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan: and covered the congregation of Abiron.
18And a fire was kindled in their congregation: the flame burned the wicked.
19They made also a calf in Horeb: and they adored the graven thing.
20And they changed their glory into the likeness of a calf that eateth grass.
21They forgot God, who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt,
22wondrous works in the land of Cham: terrible things in the Red Sea.
23And he said that he would destroy them: had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach: To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.
24And they set at nought the desirable land. They believed not his word,
25and they murmured in their tents: they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord.
26And he lifted up his hand over them: to overthrow them in the desert;
27And to cast down their seed among the nations, and to scatter them in the countries.
28They also were initiated to Beelphegor: and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29And they provoked him with their inventions: and destruction was multiplied among them.
30Then Phinees stood up, and pacified him: and the slaughter ceased.
31And it was reputed to him unto justice, to generation and generation for evermore.
32They provoked him also at the waters of contradiction: and Moses was afflicted for their sakes:
33because they exasperated his spirit. And he distinguished with his lips.
34They did not destroy the nations of which the Lord spoke unto them.
35And they were mingled among the heathens, and learned their works:
36and served their idols, and it became a stumblingblock to them.
37And they sacrificed their sons, and their daughters to devils.
38And they shed innocent blood: the blood of their sons and of their daughters which they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan. And the land was polluted with blood,
39and was defiled with their works: and they went aside after their own inventions.
40And the Lord was exceedingly angry with his people: and he abhorred his inheritance.
41And he delivered them into the hands of the nations: and they that hated them had dominion over them.
42And their enemies afflicted them: and they were humbled under their hands:
43many times did he deliver them. But they provoked him with their counsel: and they were brought low by their iniquities.
44And he saw when they were in tribulation: and he heard their prayer.
45And he was mindful of his covenant: and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
46And he gave them unto mercies, in the sight of all those that had made them captives.
47Save us, O Lord, our God: and gather us from among nations: That we may give thanks to thy holy name, and may glory in thy praise.
48Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say: So be it, so be it.
