Psalms 105:1-15

1O give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the people.

2Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonderful acts and devoutly praise them.

3Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those who seek and require the Lord [as their most essential need] rejoice.

4Seek and deeply long for the Lord and His strength [His power, His might]; Seek and deeply long for His face and His presence continually.

5Remember [with awe and gratitude] the wonderful things which He has done, His amazing deeds and the judgments uttered by His mouth [on His enemies, as in Egypt],

6O you offspring of Abraham, His servant, O you sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!

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

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

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

10Which He confirmed to Jacob as a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

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

12When there were only a few men in number, Very few [in fact], and strangers in it;

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

14He allowed no man to oppress them; He rebuked kings for their sakes, saying,

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