Psalms 105
1 Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.
O give thanks unto the LORD, call upon His name; make known His doings among the peoples.
2 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.
Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; speak ye of all His marvellous works.
3 Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
Glory ye in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
4 Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.
Seek ye the LORD and His strength; seek His face continually.
5 Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,
Remember His marvellous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth;
6 O offspring of His servant Abraham, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
O ye seed of Abraham His servant, ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones.
7 He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth.
He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
8 He remembers His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—
He hath remembered His covenant for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations;
9 the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.
The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath unto Isaac;
10 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
And He established it unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant;
11 “I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.”
Saying: 'Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.'
12 When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,
When they were but a few men in number. Yea, very few, and sojourners in it,
13 they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
And when they went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,
14 He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:
He suffered no man to do them wrong, yea, for their sake He reproved kings:
15 “Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!”
'Touch not Mine anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.'
16 He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food.
And He called a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.
17 He sent a man before them— Joseph, sold as a slave.
He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant;
18 They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons,
His feet they hurt with fetters, his person was laid in iron;
19 until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right.
Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the LORD tested him.
20 The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.
The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the peoples, and set him free.
21 He made him master of his household, ruler over all his substance,
He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his possessions;
22 to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.
To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom.
23 Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.
Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 And the LORD made His people very fruitful, more numerous than their foes,
And He increased His people greatly, and made them too mighty for their adversaries.
25 whose hearts He turned to hate His people, to conspire against His servants.
He turned their heart to hate His people, to deal craftily with His servants.
26 He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.
He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron whom He had chosen.
27 They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
They wrought among them His manifold signs, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and it became dark— yet they defied His words.
He sent darkness, and it was dark; and they rebelled not against His word.
29 He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die.
He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
30 Their land teemed with frogs, even in their royal chambers.
Their land swarmed with frogs, in the chambers of their kings.
31 He spoke, and insects swarmed— gnats throughout their country.
He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats in all their borders.
32 He gave them hail for rain, with lightning throughout their land.
He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
33 He struck their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country.
He smote their vines also and their fig-trees; and broke the trees of their borders.
34 He spoke, and the locusts came— young locusts without number.
He spoke, and the locust came, and the canker-worm without number,
35 They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil.
And did eat up every herb in their land, and did eat up the fruit of their ground.
36 Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.
He smote also all the first-born in their land, the first-fruits of all their strength.
37 He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled.
And He brought them forth with silver and gold; and there was none that stumbled among His tribes.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.
Egypt was glad when they departed; for the fear of them had fallen upon them.
39 He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night.
He spread a cloud for a screen; and fire to give light in the night.
40 They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
They asked, and He brought quails, and gave them in plenty the bread of heaven.
41 He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.
He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; they ran, a river in the dry places.
42 For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant.
For He remembered His holy word unto Abraham His servant;
43 He brought forth His people with rejoicing, His chosen with shouts of joy.
And He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with singing.
44 He gave them the lands of the nations, that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor,
And He gave them the lands of the nations, and they took the labour of the peoples in possession;
45 that they might keep His statutes and obey His laws. Hallelujah!
That they might keep His statutes, and observe His laws. Hallelujah.
