Psalms 105
1 Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.
Alleluia. Give thanks to the Lord, and call upon his name; declare his works among the heathen.
2 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.
Sing to him, yes, sing praises to him: tell forth all his wonderful works.
3 Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
Glory in his holy name: let the heart of them that seek the Lord rejoice.
4 Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.
Seek you the Lord, and be strengthened; seek his face continually.
5 Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,
Remember his wonderful works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6 O offspring of His servant Abraham, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
[you] seed of Abraam, his servants, [you] 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 has remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded for a thousand generation:
9 the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.
which he established as a covenant to Abraam, and [he remembered] his oath to Isaac.
10 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
And he established it to Jacob for an ordinance, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant;
11 “I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.”
saying To you will I give the land of Chanaan, the line of your inheritance:
12 When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,
when they were few in number, very few, and sojourners in it.
13 they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
And they went from nation to nation, and from [one] kingdom to another people.
14 He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:
He suffered no man to wrong them; and he rebuked kings for their sakes:
15 “Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!”
[saying], Touch not my anointed ones; and do my prophets no harm.
16 He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food.
Moreover he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole support 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 slave.
18 They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons,
They hurt his feet with fetters; his soul passed into iron,
19 until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right.
until the time that his cause came on; the word of the Lord tried him as fire.
20 The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.
The king sent and loosed him; [even] the prince of the people, and let him go free.
21 He made him master of his household, ruler over all his substance,
He made him Lord over his house, and ruler of all his substance;
22 to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.
to chastise his rulers at his pleasure, and to 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 Cham.
24 And the LORD made His people very fruitful, more numerous than their foes,
And he increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their enemies.
25 whose hearts He turned to hate His people, to conspire against His servants.
And 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 fort Moses his servant, [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.
27 They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
He established among them his signs, and [his] wonders in the land of Cham.
28 He sent darkness, and it became dark— yet they defied His words.
He sent forth darkness, and made it dark; yet they rebelled against his words.
29 He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die.
He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish.
30 Their land teemed with frogs, even in their royal chambers.
Their land produced frogs abundantly, in the chambers of their kings.
31 He spoke, and insects swarmed— gnats throughout their country.
He spoke, and the dog-fly came, and lice in all their coasts.
32 He gave them hail for rain, with lightning throughout their land.
He turned their rain into hail, [and sent] flaming fire in their land.
33 He struck their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country.
And he struck their vines and their fig trees; and broke every tree of their coast.
34 He spoke, and the locusts came— young locusts without number.
He spoke, and the locust came, and caterpillars innumerable,
35 They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil.
and devoured all the grass in their land, and devoured the fruit of the ground.
36 Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.
He struck also every firstborn of their land, the first fruits of all their labor.
37 He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled.
And he brought them out with silver and gold; and there was not a feeble one among their tribes.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.
Egypt rejoiced at their departing; for the fear of them fell upon them.
39 He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night.
He spread out a cloud for a covering to them, and fire to give them light by night.
40 They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
They asked, and the quail came, and he satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.
He clave the rock, and the waters flowed, rivers ran in dry places.
42 For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant.
For he remembered his holy word, which [he promised] to Abraam his servant.
43 He brought forth His people with rejoicing, His chosen with shouts of joy.
And he brought out his people with exultation, and his chosen with joy;
44 He gave them the lands of the nations, that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor,
and gave them the lands of the heathen; and they inherited the labors of the people;
45 that they might keep His statutes and obey His laws. Hallelujah!
that they might keep his ordinances, and diligently seek his law.
