Psalms 105:1-15

1Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done.

2Sing to him; yes, sing his praises. Tell everyone about his wonderful deeds.

3Exult in his holy name; rejoice, you who worship the Lord.

4Search for the Lord and for his strength; continually seek him.

5Remember the wonders he has performed, his miracles, and the rulings he has given,

6you children of his servant Abraham, you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones.

7He is the Lord our God. His justice is seen throughout the land.

8He always stands by his covenant— the commitment he made to a thousand generations.

9This is the covenant he made with Abraham and the oath he swore to Isaac.

10He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, and to the people of Israel as a never-ending covenant:

11“I will give you the land of Canaan as your special possession.”

12He said this when they were few in number, a tiny group of strangers in Canaan.

13They wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.

14Yet he did not let anyone oppress them. He warned kings on their behalf:

15“Do not touch my chosen people, and do not hurt my prophets.”
