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 on his name: make known among the people his deeds.
2 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.
Sing unto, him, sing praises unto him: speak of all his wonderful works.
3 Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
Glorify yourselves in his holy name: let the heart of those rejoice that seek the Lord.
4 Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.
Inquire after the Lord and his strength: seek his presence evermore.
5 Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,
Remember his wonderful works which he hath done; his tokens, and the decrees 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 elect.
7 He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth.
He is the Lord our God: over all the earth are his decrees.
8 He remembers His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—
He remembereth his covenant for ever, the word which he hath commanded, to the thousandth generation.
9 the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.
Which he covenanted with Abraham; and his oath unto Isaac;
10 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
And which he established unto Jacob as a statute, unto Israel as 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, as the portion 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 strangers in it;
13 they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
And when they wandered from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people:
14 He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:
He suffered no man to oppress them; yea, he reproved kings for their sake;
15 “Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!”
[Saying, ] “Touch not my anointed, 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 for a famine over the land; every staff of bread he broke.
17 He sent a man before them— Joseph, sold as a slave.
He sent a man before them; for a servant was Joseph sold;
18 They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons,
They forced into fetters his feet; in iron was his body put:
19 until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right.
Until the time that his word came to pass, [when] the saying of the Lord had purified him.
20 The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.
The king sent and unfettered him; the ruler of people, and let him go free.
21 He made him master of his household, ruler over all his substance,
He appointed him lord of his house, and ruler of all his possession:
22 to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.
That he might bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his ancients wisdom.
23 Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.
Then came Israel 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 stronger than 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 subtilely with his servants.
26 He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.
He sent Moses his servant, Aaron also whom he had made choice of.
27 They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
They displayed among them his effective 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 made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
29 He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die.
He changed their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
30 Their land teemed with frogs, even in their royal chambers.
Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the very chambers of their kings.
31 He spoke, and insects swarmed— gnats throughout their country.
He spoke, and there came various wild beasts, lice also within all their boundary.
32 He gave them hail for rain, with lightning throughout their land.
He gave them as their rain hail, and flames of fire in their land.
33 He struck their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country.
And he smote their vines and their fig-trees, and broke the trees within their boundary.
34 He spoke, and the locusts came— young locusts without number.
He spoke, and the locusts came, and crickets, and that without number;
35 They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil.
And they ate up all the herbs in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36 Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.
And he smote all the first-born in their land, the first 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 not one that stumbled among his tribes.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.
Egypt rejoiced when they departed; for the dread of them was fallen 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, and fire to give light in the night.
40 They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
The people asked, and he brought quails, and with heavenly bread he satisfied them.
41 He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.
He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out: they ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant.
For he remembered his holy word given to Abraham his servant.
43 He brought forth His people with rejoicing, His chosen with shouts of joy.
And he brought forth his people with gladness, with joyful song his elect.
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 nations; and the labor of people they obtained as an inheritance:
45 that they might keep His statutes and obey His laws. Hallelujah!
So that they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Hallelujah.
