Psalms 105 ⓘ
105:1 Give thanks to the LORD! Call on his name! Make his doings known amongst the peoples.
105:2 Sing to him, sing praises to him! Tell of all his marvellous works.
105:3 Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
105:4 Seek the LORD and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
105:5 Remember his marvellous works that he has done: his wonders, and the judgements of his mouth,
105:6 you offspring of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
105:7 He is the LORD, our God. His judgements are in all the earth.
105:8 He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
105:9 the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac,
105:10 and confirmed it to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
105:11 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance,”
105:12 when they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
105:13 They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
105:14 He allowed no one to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
105:15 “Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”
105:16 He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies.
105:17 He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave.
105:18 They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons,
105:19 until the time that his word happened, and the LORD’s word proved him true.
105:20 The king sent and freed him, even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
105:21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all of his possessions,
105:22 to discipline his princes at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.
105:23 Israel also came into Egypt. Jacob lived in the land of Ham.
105:24 He increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries.
105:25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.
105:26 He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
105:27 They performed miracles amongst them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
105:28 He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn’t rebel against his words.
105:29 He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish.
105:30 Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their kings.
105:31 He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and lice in all their borders.
105:32 He gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land.
105:33 He struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country.
105:34 He spoke, and the locusts came with the grasshoppers, without number.
105:35 They ate up every plant in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.
105:36 He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood.
105:37 He brought them out with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person amongst his tribes.
105:38 Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen on them.
105:39 He spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the night.
105:40 They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of the sky.
105:41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places.
105:42 For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.
105:43 He brought his people out with joy, his chosen with singing.
105:44 He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labour of the peoples in possession,
105:45 that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise the LORD!
