Psalms 105

^{Psalms 105:1} Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.

^{Psalms 105:2} Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.

^{Psalms 105:3} Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

^{Psalms 105:4} Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.

^{Psalms 105:5} Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,

^{Psalms 105:6} O offspring of His servant Abraham, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

^{Psalms 105:7} He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth.

^{Psalms 105:8} He remembers His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—

^{Psalms 105:9} the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.

^{Psalms 105:10} He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

^{Psalms 105:11} “I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.”

^{Psalms 105:12} When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,

^{Psalms 105:13} they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.

^{Psalms 105:14} He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:

^{Psalms 105:15} “Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!”

^{Psalms 105:16} He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food.

^{Psalms 105:17} He sent a man before them— Joseph, sold as a slave.

^{Psalms 105:18} They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons,

^{Psalms 105:19} until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right.

^{Psalms 105:20} The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.

^{Psalms 105:21} He made him master of his household, ruler over all his substance,

^{Psalms 105:22} to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.

^{Psalms 105:23} Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.

^{Psalms 105:24} And the LORD made His people very fruitful, more numerous than their foes,

^{Psalms 105:25} whose hearts He turned to hate His people, to conspire against His servants.

^{Psalms 105:26} He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.

^{Psalms 105:27} They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

^{Psalms 105:28} He sent darkness, and it became dark— yet they defied His words.

^{Psalms 105:29} He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die.

^{Psalms 105:30} Their land teemed with frogs, even in their royal chambers.

^{Psalms 105:31} He spoke, and insects swarmed— gnats throughout their country.

^{Psalms 105:32} He gave them hail for rain, with lightning throughout their land.

^{Psalms 105:33} He struck their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country.

^{Psalms 105:34} He spoke, and the locusts came— young locusts without number.

^{Psalms 105:35} They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil.

^{Psalms 105:36} Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.

^{Psalms 105:37} He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled.

^{Psalms 105:38} Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.

^{Psalms 105:39} He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night.

^{Psalms 105:40} They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

^{Psalms 105:41} He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.

^{Psalms 105:42} For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant.

^{Psalms 105:43} He brought forth His people with rejoicing, His chosen with shouts of joy.

^{Psalms 105:44} He gave them the lands of the nations, that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor,

^{Psalms 105:45} that they might keep His statutes and obey His laws. Hallelujah!
