Psalms 105

Psalm 105

The L ord ’ s Wonderful Works in Behalf of Israel.

¹Give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name; Make His deeds known among the peoples.

²Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Tell of all His wonders.

³Boast in His holy name; May the heart of those who seek the Lord be joyful.

⁴Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face continually.

⁵Remember His wonders which He has done, His marvels and the judgments spoken by His mouth,

⁶You descendants of Abraham, His servant, You sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!

⁷He is the Lord our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

⁸¶He has remembered His covenant forever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,

⁹The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac.

¹⁰Then He 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 portion of your inheritance,”

¹²When they were only a few people in number, Very few, and strangers in it.

¹³And they wandered from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people,

¹⁴He allowed no one to oppress them, And He rebuked kings for their sakes, saying,

¹⁵“Do not touch My anointed ones, And do not harm My prophets.”

¹⁶¶And He called for a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.

¹⁷He sent a man before them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

¹⁸They forced his feet into shackles, He was put in irons;

¹⁹Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of the Lord refined him.

²⁰The king sent and released him, The ruler of peoples, and set him free.

²¹He made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions,

²²To imprison his high officials at will, That he might teach his elders wisdom.

²³Israel also came into Egypt; So Jacob lived in the land of Ham.

²⁴And He made His people very fruitful, And made them stronger than their enemies.

²⁵¶He turned their heart to hate His people, To deal cunningly with His servants.

²⁶He sent His servant Moses, And Aaron, whom He had chosen.

²⁷They performed His wondrous acts among them, And miracles 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 caused their fish to die.

³⁰Their land swarmed with frogs Even in the chambers of their kings.

³¹He spoke, and a swarm of flies And gnats invaded all their territory.

³²He gave them hail for rain, And flaming fire in their land.

³³He also struck their vines and their fig trees, And smashed the trees of their territory.

³⁴He spoke, and locusts came, And creeping locusts, beyond number,

³⁵And they ate all the vegetation in their land, And ate the fruit of their ground.

³⁶He also fatally struck all the firstborn in their land, The first fruits of all their vigor.

³⁷¶Then He brought the Israelites out with silver and gold, And among His tribes there was not one who stumbled.

³⁸Egypt was glad when they departed, For the dread of them had fallen upon the Egyptians.

³⁹He spread out a cloud as a covering, And fire to illumine by night.

⁴⁰They asked, and He brought quail, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

⁴¹He opened the rock and water flowed out; It ran in the dry places like a river.

⁴²For He remembered His holy word With His servant Abraham;

⁴³And He led out His people with joy, His chosen ones with a joyful shout.

⁴⁴He also gave them the lands of the nations, So that they might take possession of the fruit of the peoples’ labor,

⁴⁵And that they might keep His statutes And comply with His laws; Praise the Lord!
