# Psalm 105
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. Oh give thanks to the LORD; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples!
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works!
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice!
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his presence continually!
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered,
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. O offspring of Abraham, his servant, children of Jacob, his chosen ones!
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. He remembers his covenant forever, the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. the covenant that he made with Abraham, his sworn promise to Isaac,
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
10. which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
11. saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan as your portion for an inheritance.”
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
12. When they were few in number, of little account, and sojourners in it,
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
13. wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,
<a id="14" name="14"></a>
14. he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their account,
<a id="15" name="15"></a>
15. saying, “Touch not my anointed ones, do my prophets no harm!”
<a id="16" name="16"></a>
16. When he summoned a famine on the land and broke all supply of bread,
<a id="17" name="17"></a>
17. he had sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
<a id="18" name="18"></a>
18. His feet were hurt with fetters; his neck was put in a collar of iron;
<a id="19" name="19"></a>
19. until what he had said came to pass, the word of the LORD tested him.
<a id="20" name="20"></a>
20. The king sent and released him; the ruler of the peoples set him free;
<a id="21" name="21"></a>
21. he made him lord of his house and ruler of all his possessions,
<a id="22" name="22"></a>
22. to bind his princes at his pleasure and to teach his elders wisdom.
<a id="23" name="23"></a>
23. Then Israel came to Egypt; Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
<a id="24" name="24"></a>
24. And the LORD made his people very fruitful and made them stronger than their foes.
<a id="25" name="25"></a>
25. He turned their hearts to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants.
<a id="26" name="26"></a>
26. He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
<a id="27" name="27"></a>
27. They performed his signs among them and miracles in the land of Ham.
<a id="28" name="28"></a>
28. He sent darkness, and made the land dark; they did not rebel against his words.
<a id="29" name="29"></a>
29. He turned their waters into blood and caused their fish to die.
<a id="30" name="30"></a>
30. Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the chambers of their kings.
<a id="31" name="31"></a>
31. He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats throughout their country.
<a id="32" name="32"></a>
32. He gave them hail for rain, and fiery lightning bolts through their land.
<a id="33" name="33"></a>
33. He struck down their vines and fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country.
<a id="34" name="34"></a>
34. He spoke, and the locusts came, young locusts without number,
<a id="35" name="35"></a>
35. which devoured all the vegetation in their land and ate up the fruit of their ground.
<a id="36" name="36"></a>
36. He struck down all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their strength.
<a id="37" name="37"></a>
37. Then he brought out Israel with silver and gold, and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.
<a id="38" name="38"></a>
38. Egypt was glad when they departed, for dread of them had fallen upon it.
<a id="39" name="39"></a>
39. He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light by night.
<a id="40" name="40"></a>
40. They asked, and he brought quail, and gave them bread from heaven in abundance.
<a id="41" name="41"></a>
41. He opened the rock, and water gushed out; it flowed through the desert like a river.
<a id="42" name="42"></a>
42. For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham, his servant.
<a id="43" name="43"></a>
43. So he brought his people out with joy, his chosen ones with singing.
<a id="44" name="44"></a>
44. And he gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples toil,
<a id="45" name="45"></a>
45. that they might keep his statutes and observe his laws. Praise the LORD!
