Psalms 105

¹Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known among the peoples his doings.

²Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; Talk ye of all his marvelous works.

³Glory ye in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.

⁴Seek ye Jehovah and his strength; Seek his face evermore.

⁵Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

⁶O ye seed of Abraham his servant, Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

⁷He is Jehovah our God: His judgments are in all the earth.

⁸He hath remembered his covenant for ever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

⁹[ The covenant] which he made with Abraham, And his oath unto Isaac,

¹⁰And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,

¹¹Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;

¹²When they were but a few men in number, Yea, very few, and sojourners in it.

¹³And they went about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people.

¹⁴He suffered no man to do them wrong; Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,

¹⁵[ Saying], Touch not mine anointed ones, And do my prophets no harm.

¹⁶And he called for a famine upon the land; He brake the whole staff of bread.

¹⁷He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant:

¹⁸His feet they hurt with fetters: He was laid in [chains of] iron,

¹⁹Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of Jehovah tried him.

²⁰The king sent and loosed him; Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.

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

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

²³Israel also came into Egypt; And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

²⁴And he increased his people greatly, And made them stronger than their adversaries.

²⁵He turned their heart to hate his people, To deal subtly with his servants.

²⁶He sent Moses his servant, [And] Aaron whom he had chosen.

²⁷They set among them his signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.

²⁸He sent darkness, and made it dark; And they rebelled not against his words.

²⁹He turned their waters into blood, And slew their fish.

³⁰Their land swarmed with frogs In the chambers of their kings.

³¹He spake, and there came swarms of flies, And lice in all their borders.

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

³³He smote their vines also and their fig-trees, And brake the trees of their borders.

³⁴He spake, and the locust came, And the grasshopper, and that without number,

³⁵And did eat up every herb in their land, And did eat up the fruit of their ground.

³⁶He smote also all the first-born in their land, The chief of all their strength.

³⁷And he brought them forth with silver and gold; And there was not one feeble person 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.

⁴⁰They asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

⁴¹He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; They ran in the dry places [like] a river.

⁴²For he remembered his holy word, [And] Abraham his servant.

⁴³And he brought forth his people with joy, [And] his chosen with singing.

⁴⁴And he gave them the lands of the nations; And they took the labor of the peoples in possession:

⁴⁵That they might keep his statutes, And observe his laws. Praise ye Jehovah.
