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