Psalms 105
The Lord’s Wonderful Works in Behalf of Israel.
11Give thanks to the Lord, 2call upon His name; 3Make His deeds known among the peoples.2Sing to Him, 4sing praises to Him; 56Tell of all His 7wonders.3Boast in His holy name; May the 8heart of those who seek the Lord be joyful.4Seek the Lord and 9His strength; 10Seek His face continually.5Remember His 1112wonders which He has done, His marvels and the 13judgments 14spoken by His mouth,6You 15descendants of 16Abraham, His servant, You sons of 17Jacob, His 18chosen ones!7He is the Lord our God; His 19judgments are in all the earth.
8He has 20remembered His covenant forever, The word which He commanded to a 21thousand generations,9The 22covenant which He made with Abraham, And His 23oath to Isaac.10Then He 24confirmed it to Jacob as a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant,11Saying, “25To you I will give the land of Canaan As the 2627portion of your inheritance,”12When they were only a 28few people in number, Very few, and 29strangers in it.13And they wandered from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people,14He 30allowed no one to oppress them, And He 3132rebuked kings for their sakes, saying,15“33Do not touch My anointed ones, And do not harm My prophets.”
16And He 34called for a famine upon the land; He 35broke the whole staff of bread.17He 36sent a man before them, Joseph, who was 37sold as a slave.18They forced his 38feet into shackles, 39He was put in irons;19Until the time that his 40word came to pass, The word of the Lord 41refined him.20The 42king sent and released him, The ruler of peoples, and set him free.21He 43made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions,22To 44imprison his high officials 4546at will, That he might teach his elders wisdom.2347Israel also came into Egypt; So Jacob 48lived in the land of Ham.24And He 49made His people very fruitful, And made them stronger than their enemies.
25He 50turned their heart to hate His people, To 51deal cunningly with His servants.26He 52sent His servant Moses, And 53Aaron, whom He had chosen.27They 5455performed His wondrous acts among them, And miracles in the land of Ham.28He 56sent darkness and made it dark; And they did not 57rebel against His words.29He 58turned their waters into blood, And caused their fish to die.30Their land swarmed with 59frogs Even in the 60chambers of their kings.31He spoke, and a 61swarm of flies And 62gnats invaded all their territory.32He 63gave them 64hail for rain, And flaming fire in their land.33He also 65struck their vines and their fig trees, And smashed the trees of their territory.34He spoke, and 66locusts came, And creeping locusts, beyond number,35And they ate all the vegetation in their land, And ate the fruit of their ground.36He also 67fatally struck all the firstborn in their land, The 68first fruits of all their vigor.
37Then He brought 69the Israelites out with 70silver and gold, And among His tribes there was not one who stumbled.38Egypt was 71glad when they departed, For the 72dread of them had fallen upon 73the Egyptians.39He spread out a 74cloud as a 75covering, And 76fire to illumine by night.4077They 78asked, and He brought 79quail, And satisfied them with the 8081bread of heaven.41He opened the 82rock and 83water flowed out; 84It ran in the dry places like a river.42For He 85remembered His holy word With His servant Abraham;43And He led out His people with joy, His chosen ones with a joyful 86shout.44He also 87gave them the lands of the 88nations, So that they 89might take possession of the fruit of the peoples’ labor,45And that they might 90keep His statutes And comply with His laws; 91Praise 92the Lord!
