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
1¶ O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples.
2Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him; speak of all his wondrous works.
3Glory in his holy name; let the heart of those that seek the Lord rejoice.
4Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his face continually.
5Remember his marvellous works that he has done, his wonders and the judgments of his mouth,
6O ye seed of Abraham his slave, ye sons of Jacob his chosen.
7He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
8¶ He has remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded for a thousand generations,
9which covenant he made with Abraham and his oath unto Isaac
10and confirmed the same unto Jacob by decree, and 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 strangers in it.
13When they went from nation to nation from one kingdom to another people,
14he suffered no man to do them wrong; yea, he chastened kings for their sakes:
15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed and do my prophets no harm.
16Moreover he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole staff of bread.
17He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a slave,
18whose feet they hurt with fetters; his soul was laid in iron.
19Until the time that his word came, the spoken word of the Lord purified him.
20The king sent and loosed him, the ruler of the people 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 elders wisdom.
23Afterwards Israel entered into Egypt, and Jacob was a stranger in the land of Ham.
24And he increased his people greatly and made them stronger than their enemies.
25¶ He turned their heart to hate his people to think evil against his slaves.
26He sent Moses his slave and Aaron whom he had chosen.
27He put the words of his signs in them and his wonders in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness and made it dark, and they did not rebel against his word.
29He turned their waters into blood and slew their fish.
30Their land brought forth frogs in abundance in the chambers of their kings.
31He spoke, and swarms of flies and lice came within all their borders.
32He turned their rain into hail, into flaming fire in their land.
33He smote their vines also and their fig trees and broke the trees within their borders.
34He spoke, and the locusts came and caterpillars without number,
35and ate up all the grass in their land and devoured 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 sick person among their tribes.
38Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them fell upon them.
39He spread a cloud for a covering and fire to give light in the night.
40 The people asked, and he brought quails and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places and became a river.
42For he remembered his holy word with Abraham his slave.
43And he brought forth his people with joy and his chosen with singing
44and gave them the lands of the Gentiles, and they inherited the labour of the nations,
45that they might observe his statutes and keep his laws. Halelu-JAH.
