Psalms 105
1 Give ye thanks to Jehovah — call ye in His name, Make known among the peoples His acts.
O give thanks unto the LORD; Call upon his name; Make known his deeds among the people!
2 Sing ye to Him — sing praise to Him, Meditate ye on all His wonders.
Sing unto him; sing psalms unto him; Tell ye of all his wondrous works!
3 Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking Jehovah rejoiceth.
Glory ye in his holy name; Let the hearts of them that seek the LORD rejoice!
4 Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek ye His face continually.
Seek the LORD, and his majesty; Seek his face continually!
5 Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth.

6 O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
Ye offspring of Abraham his servant, Ye children of Jacob his chosen!
7 He [is] Jehovah our God, In all the earth [are] His judgments.
Jehovah, he is our God, His judgments are over all the earth.
8 He hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He commanded to a thousand generations,
He remembereth his covenant for ever, And the promise to a thousand generations;
9 That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,
The covenant which he made with Abraham, And the oath which he gave to Isaac;
10 And doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel — a covenant age-during,
Which he confirmed to Jacob for a decree, And to Israel for an everlasting covenant.
11 Saying, 'To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,'
“To thee,” said he, “will I give the land of Canaan For the lot of your inheritance.”
12 In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it.
When they were yet few in number, Very few, and strangers in the land;
13 And they go up and down, from nation unto nation, From a kingdom unto another people.
When they went from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people,
14 He hath not suffered any to oppress them And He reproveth for their sakes kings.
He suffered no man to oppress them; Yea, he rebuked kings for their sakes.

Until his prediction came to pass, And the word of the LORD proved him.
20 The king hath sent, and looseth him, The ruler of the peoples, and draweth him out.
Then the king sent, and loosed him; The ruler of nations, and set him free;
21 He hath made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions.
He made him governor of his house, And lord of all his possessions;
22 To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And his elders he maketh wise.
To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his counsellors wisdom.
23 And Israel cometh in to Egypt, And Jacob hath sojourned in the land of Ham.
Israel also came into Egypt, And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham;

Where God increased his people greatly, And made them stronger than their enemies.
25 He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire against His servants.
He turned their hearts to hate his people, And form devices against his servants.
26 He hath sent Moses His servant, Aaron whom He had fixed on.
Then sent he Moses his servant, And Aaron, whom he had chosen.

33 And He smiteth their vine and their fig, And shivereth the trees of their border.
He smote also their vines and fig-trees, And broke the trees of their coasts.
34 He hath said, and the locust cometh, And the cankerworm — innumerable,
He spake, and the locusts came. Destructive locusts without number,
35 And it consumeth every herb in their land, And it consumeth the fruit of their ground.
Which ate up all the herbage in their land, And devoured the fruits of their fields.
36 And He smiteth every first-born in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,
Then he smote all the first-born in their land, The first-fruits of all their strength.

He opened the rock, and the waters gushed forth, And ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant,
For he remembered his holy promise, Which he had made to Abraham his servant;
43 And He bringeth forth His people with joy, With singing His chosen ones.
And he led forth his people with joy, And his chosen with gladness.
44 And He giveth to them the lands of nations, And the labour of peoples they possess,
He gave to them the lands of the nations, And they inherited the labor of the peoples;
45 That they may observe His statutes, And His laws may keep. Praise ye Jehovah!
That they might observe his statutes, And obey his laws. Praise ye the LORD!
