Psalm, 105
105:1 Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.
105:2 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.
105:3 Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
105:4 Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.
105:5 Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,
105:6 O offspring of His servant Abraham, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
105:7 He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth.
105:8 He remembers His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—
105:9 the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.
105:10 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
105:11 “I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.”
105:12 When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,
105:13 they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
105:14 He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:
105:15 “Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!”
105:16 He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food.
105:17 He sent a man before them—Joseph, sold as a slave.
105:18 They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons,
105:19 until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right.
105:20 The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.
105:21 He made him master of his household, ruler over all his substance,
105:22 to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.
105:23 Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.
105:24 And the LORD made His people very fruitful, more numerous than their foes,
105:25 whose hearts He turned to hate His people, to conspire against His servants.
105:26 He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.
105:27 They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
105:28 He sent darkness, and it became dark—yet they defied His words.
105:29 He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die.
105:30 Their land teemed with frogs, even in their royal chambers.
105:31 He spoke, and insects swarmed—gnats throughout their country.
105:32 He gave them hail for rain, with lightning throughout their land.
105:33 He struck their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country.
105:34 He spoke, and the locusts came—young locusts without number.
105:35 They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil.
105:36 Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.
105:37 He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled.
105:38 Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.
105:39 He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night.
105:40 They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
105:41 He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.
105:42 For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant.
105:43 He brought forth His people with rejoicing, His chosen with shouts of joy.
105:44 He gave them the lands of the nations, that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor,
105:45 that they might keep His statutes and obey His laws. Hallelujah!
