Psalms 105
1 Give thanks to the LORD; call on his name. Make his deeds known among the peoples.
2 Sing to him; sing his praises. Speak of all his wonders.
3 Boast in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
4 Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his face continually.
5 Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments spoken by his mouth.
6 You descendants of Abraham, his servant; you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7 He is the LORD, our God; his judgments are throughout the earth.
8 He remembers his covenant forever, the word he commanded for a thousand generations.
9 The covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac.
10 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant.
11 He said, “I will give you the land of Canaan, the portion you will inherit.”
12 They were few in number, very few, and lived there as strangers.
13 They wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
14 He let no one oppress them; he rebuked kings on their behalf.
15 “Do not touch my anointed ones; do not harm my prophets.”
16 He called famine on the land and broke every source of bread.
17 He sent a man ahead of them: Joseph, sold as a slave.
18 They hurt his feet with fetters; he was bound in iron.
19 Until the time came for his word, the saying of the LORD tested him.
20 A king sent for him and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.
21 He made him master of his house and ruler over all he owned,
22 to bind his officials as he wished and teach his elders wisdom.
23 Then Israel came to Egypt, and Jacob lived as a stranger in the land of Ham.
24 He greatly increased his people and made them stronger than their adversaries.
25 He turned their hearts to hate his people and plot against his servants.
26 He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27 They performed among them the words of his signs, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and it grew dark; they did not rebel against his word.
29 He turned their waters into blood and killed their fish.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the chambers of their kings.
31 He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and gnats throughout their territory.
32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
33 He struck their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees throughout their territory.
34 He spoke, and locusts came, and young locusts beyond number.
35 They devoured all the vegetation in their land and ate the fruit of their soil.
36 He struck every firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their strength.
37 He brought them out with silver and gold, and none among his tribes stumbled.
38 Egypt rejoiced when they left, because fear of them had fallen on the Egyptians.
39 He spread out a cloud for cover and fire to light the night.
40 They asked, and he brought quail; he satisfied them with bread from heaven.
41 He opened the rock, and water gushed out; it flowed through the desert like a river.
42 For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.
43 He brought his people out with joy, his chosen ones with joyful songs.
44 He gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the peoples’ labor,
45 so that they would keep his decrees and observe his laws. Hallelujah!
