Psalms 105:16-45

16And He 1called for a famine upon the land; He 2broke the whole staff of bread.17He 3sent a man before them, Joseph, who was 4sold as a slave.18They afflicted his 5feet with fetters, 6He himself was laid in irons;19Until the time that his 7word came to pass, The word of the Lord 89tested him.20The 10king sent and released him, The ruler of peoples, and set him free.21He 11made him lord of his house And ruler over all his possessions,22To 12imprison his princes 1314at will, That he might teach his elders wisdom.2315Israel also came into Egypt; Thus Jacob 16sojourned in the land of Ham.24And He 17caused His people to be very fruitful, And made them stronger than their adversaries.

25He 18turned their heart to hate His people, To 19deal craftily with His servants.26He 20sent Moses His servant, And 21Aaron, whom He had chosen.27They 2223performed His wondrous acts among them, And miracles in the land of Ham.28He 24sent darkness and made it dark; And they did not 25rebel against His words.29He 26turned their waters into blood And caused their fish to die.30Their land swarmed with 27frogs Even in the 28chambers of their kings.31He spoke, and there came a 29swarm of flies And 30gnats in all their territory.32He 31gave them 32hail for rain, And flaming fire in their land.33He 33struck down their vines also and their fig trees, And shattered the trees of their territory.34He spoke, and 34locusts came, And young locusts, even without number,35And ate up all vegetation in their land, And ate up the fruit of their ground.36He also 35struck down all the firstborn in their land, The 36first fruits of all their vigor.

37Then He brought them out with 37silver and gold, And among His tribes there was not one who stumbled.38Egypt was 38glad when they departed, For the 39dread of them had fallen upon them.39He spread a 40cloud for a 41covering, And 42fire to illumine by night.4043They 44asked, and He brought 45quail, And satisfied them with the 4647bread of heaven.41He opened the 48rock and 49water flowed out; 50It ran in the dry places like a river.42For He 51remembered His holy word With Abraham His servant;43And He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with a joyful 52shout.44He 53gave them also the lands of the 54nations, That they 55might take possession of the fruit of the peoples’ labor,45So that they might 56keep His statutes And observe His laws, 57Praise 58the Lord!
