Psalms  


105 : 1 Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.
105 : 2 Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.
105 : 3 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
105 : 4 Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.
105 : 5 Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,
105 : 6 O descendants of Abraham his servant, O sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.
105 : 7 He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
105 : 8 He remembers his covenant forever, the word he commanded, for a thousand generations,
105 : 9 the covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac.
105 : 10 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
105 : 11 To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion you will inherit.
105 : 12 When they were but few in number, few indeed, and strangers in it,
105 : 13 they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
105 : 14 He allowed no one to oppress them; for their sake he rebuked kings:
105 : 15 Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.
105 : 16 He called down famine on the land and destroyed all their supplies of food;
105 : 17 and he sent a man before them-- Joseph, sold as a slave.
105 : 18 They bruised his feet with shackles, his neck was put in irons,
105 : 19 till what he foretold came to pass, till the word of the LORD proved him true.
105 : 20 The king sent and released him, the ruler of peoples set him free.
105 : 21 He made him master of his household, ruler over all he possessed,
105 : 22 to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.
105 : 23 Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob lived as an alien in the land of Ham.
105 : 24 The LORD made his people very fruitful; he made them too numerous for their foes,
105 : 25 whose hearts he turned 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 his miraculous signs among them, his wonders in the land of Ham.
105 : 28 He sent darkness and made the land dark-- for had they not rebelled against his words?
105 : 29 He turned their waters into blood, causing their fish to die.
105 : 30 Their land teemed with frogs, which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.
105 : 31 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats throughout their country.
105 : 32 He turned their rain into hail, with lightning throughout their land;
105 : 33 he struck down their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country.
105 : 34 He spoke, and the locusts came, grasshoppers without number;
105 : 35 they ate up every green thing in their land, ate up the produce of their soil.
105 : 36 Then he struck down all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their manhood.
105 : 37 He brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold, and from among their tribes no one faltered.
105 : 38 Egypt was glad when they left, because dread of Israel had fallen on them.
105 : 39 He spread out a cloud as a covering, and a fire to give light at night.
105 : 40 They asked, and he brought them quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
105 : 41 He opened the rock, and water gushed out; like a river it flowed in the desert.
105 : 42 For he remembered his holy promise given to his servant Abraham.
105 : 43 He brought out his people with rejoicing, his chosen ones with shouts of joy;
105 : 44 he gave them the lands of the nations, and they fell heir to what others had toiled for-
105 : 45 that they might keep his precepts and observe his laws. Praise the LORD.
