Psalms 105

¹Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.

²Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.

³Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

⁴Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.

⁵Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,

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

⁷He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth.

⁸He remembers His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—

⁹the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.

¹⁰He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

¹¹“I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.”

¹²When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,

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

¹⁴He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:

¹⁵“Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!”

¹⁶He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food.

¹⁷He sent a man before them—Joseph, sold as a slave.

¹⁸They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons,

¹⁹until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right.

²⁰The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.

²¹He made him master of his household, ruler over all his substance,

²²to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.

²³Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.

²⁴And the LORD made His people very fruitful, more numerous than their foes,

²⁵whose hearts He turned to hate His people, to conspire against His servants.

²⁶He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.

²⁷They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

²⁸He sent darkness, and it became dark—yet they defied His words.

²⁹He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die.

³⁰Their land teemed with frogs, even in their royal chambers.

³¹He spoke, and insects swarmed—gnats throughout their country.

³²He gave them hail for rain, with lightning throughout their land.

³³He struck their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country.

³⁴He spoke, and the locusts came—young locusts without number.

³⁵They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil.

³⁶Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.

³⁷He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled.

³⁸Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.

³⁹He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night.

⁴⁰They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

⁴¹He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.

⁴²For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant.

⁴³He brought forth His people with rejoicing, His chosen with shouts of joy.

⁴⁴He gave them the lands of the nations, that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor,

⁴⁵that they might keep His statutes and obey His laws. Hallelujah!
