Psalms 105

The Eternal Faithfulness of the Lord

¹Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples!

²Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works!

³Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord!

⁴Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face evermore!

⁵Remember His marvelous works which He has done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,

⁶O seed of Abraham His servant, You children of Jacob, His chosen ones!

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

⁸He remembers His covenant forever, The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations,

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

¹⁰And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

¹¹Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan As the allotment of your inheritance,”

¹²When they were few in number, Indeed very few, and strangers in it.

¹³When they went from one nation to another, From one kingdom to another people,

¹⁴He permitted no one to do them wrong; Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes,

¹⁵Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm.”

¹⁶Moreover He called for a famine in the land; He destroyed all the provision of bread.

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

¹⁸They hurt his feet with fetters, He was laid in irons.

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

²⁰The king sent and released him, The ruler of the people let him go free.

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

²²To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his elders wisdom.

²³Israel also came into Egypt, And Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.

²⁴He increased His people greatly, And made them stronger than their enemies.

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

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

²⁷They performed His signs among them, And 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 killed their fish.

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

³¹He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, And lice in all their territory.

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

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

³⁴He spoke, and locusts came, Young locusts without number,

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

³⁶He also destroyed all the firstborn in their land, The first of all their strength.

³⁷He also brought them out with silver and gold, And there was none feeble among His tribes.

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

³⁹He spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to give light in the night.

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

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

⁴²For He remembered His holy promise, And Abraham His servant.

⁴³He brought out His people with joy, His chosen ones with gladness.

⁴⁴He gave them the lands of the Gentiles, And they inherited the labor of the nations,

⁴⁵That they might observe His statutes And keep His laws. Praise the Lord!
