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
Praise to Yahweh for His Work on Behalf of Israel
1Give thanks to Yahweh; proclaim his name;
make known his deeds among the peoples.
2Sing to him; sing praises concerning him;
tell of all his wonderful works.
3Boast about his holy name.
Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
4Make supplication to Yahweh and his might;
seek his face continually.
5Remember his wonders that he has done,
his signs and the judgments of his mouth,
6O offspring of Abraham his servant,
you descendants#Or “children,” or “sons” of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7He is Yahweh our God;
his judgments are in all the earth.
8He remembers his covenant forever,
the word that he commanded
for a thousand generations,
9that he made with Abraham,
and by his oath swore to Isaac.
10He then confirmed it to Jacob as a statute,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
11saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan
as the allotment that is your#Hebrew plural inheritance.”
12When they were few in number#Literally “men of number,” that is, so few you could count them—
a trifle—and were sojourners in it,
13and they wandered about among the nations,#Literally “from people to people”
from one kingdom to another people,
14he allowed no one to oppress them,
and he rebuked kings on account of them,
15“Do not touch my anointed ones,
nor harm my prophets.”
16Then he called for a famine upon the land;
he broke every supply#Literally “staff” of bread.
17He sent a man on ahead of them;
Joseph was sold as a slave.
18They clamped#Hebrew “oppressed, hurt” his feet in fetters.#Hebrew “fetter”
His neck#Hebrew nephesh can designate the life, soul, appetite, desire, or throat/neck. went into irons.#Hebrew “iron”
19Until the time his word came about,
the word of Yahweh tested#Or “refined” him.
20The king sent and he freed him;
the ruler of the peoples sent and let him loose.
21He made him lord of his house
and ruler of all his possessions,
22to obligate#Hebrew “to bind, imprison” The LXX’s “to instruct” presupposes ysr instead of 'sr, and might be correct in light of the parallelism that is fairly tight in this psalm his officials as he saw fit#Literally “in his desire soul”
and teach his elders wisdom.
23Then Israel came to Egypt,
and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Ham.
24And he#That is, God made his people very fruitful.
He also made them#Hebrew “him” stronger than their#Hebrew “his” enemies.
25He turned their heart to hate his people,
to deal deceitfully against his servants.
26He sent his servant Moses,
together with Aaron whom he had chosen.
27They set before them the words concerning his signs
and portents in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness and made it dark,
and they did not rebel against his words.
29He turned their waters into blood
and it killed their fish.
30Their land swarmed with frogs,
even in the chambers of their kings.
31He spoke, and there came flies
and gnats throughout all their territory.#Hebrew “borders”
32He gave hail for their rains
and the fire of lightning in their land.
33And he struck their vines and fig trees,
and shattered the trees of their territory.
34He spoke and there came locusts
and young locusts without number.
35And they ate up all the vegetation in their land,
and they ate up the fruit of their ground.
36And he struck down all the firstborn in their land,
the first of all their virility.
37Then he brought them out with silver and gold,
and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.
38Egypt was glad when they departed,
because the fear of them#That is, Israel had fallen upon them.
39He spread out a cloud for a covering,
and fire to give light at night.
40They#Hebrew “He” asked, and he brought quail,
and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41He opened the rock and waters flowed;
they coursed#Or “surged” through the dry places like a river.
42For he remembered his holy promise;#Literally “word”
he remembered Abraham his servant.
43And so he brought out his people with joy,
his chosen ones with rejoicing.
44And he gave to them the lands of the nations,
and they inherited the labor of the peoples,
45so that they might observe his statutes,
and keep his laws.
Praise Yah.#Hebrew hallelujah
