Psalms 105

1 Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.

2 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.

3 Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

4 Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.

5 Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,

6 O offspring of His servant Abraham, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

7 He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth.

8 He remembers His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—

9 the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.

10 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

11 “I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.”

12 When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,

13 they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.

14 He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:

15 “Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!”

16 He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food.

17 He sent a man before them—Joseph, sold as a slave.

18 They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons,

19 until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right.

20 The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.

21 He made him master of his household, ruler over all his substance,

22 to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.

23 Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.

24 And the LORD made His people very fruitful, more numerous than their foes,

25 whose hearts He turned to hate His people, to conspire against His servants.

26 He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.

27 They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

28 He sent darkness, and it became dark—yet they defied His words.

29 He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die.

30 Their land teemed with frogs, even in their royal chambers.

31 He spoke, and insects swarmed—gnats throughout their country.

32 He gave them hail for rain, with lightning throughout their land.

33 He struck their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country.

34 He spoke, and the locusts came—young locusts without number.

35 They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil.

36 Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.

37 He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled.

38 Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.

39 He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night.

40 They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

41 He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.

42 For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant.

43 He brought forth His people with rejoicing, His chosen with shouts of joy.

44 He gave them the lands of the nations, that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor,

45 that they might keep His statutes and obey His laws. Hallelujah!

1 ¶ O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.

2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.

3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

4 Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.

5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.

7 He [is] the LORD our God: his judgments [are] in all the earth.

8 ¶ He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word [which] he commanded to a thousand generations.

9 Which [covenant] he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;

10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, [and] to Israel [for] an everlasting covenant:

11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:

12 When they were [but] a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.

13 When they went from one nation to another, from [one] kingdom to another people;

14 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;

15 [Saying], Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.

17 He sent a man before them, [even] Joseph, [who] was sold for a servant:

18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:

19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.

20 The king sent and loosed him; [even] the ruler of the people, and let him go free.

21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:

22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.

23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

24 And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.

25 ¶ He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.

26 He sent Moses his servant; [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.

27 They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.

29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.

30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.

31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, [and] lice in all their coasts.

32 He gave them hail for rain, [and] flaming fire in their land.

33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.

34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,

35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.

37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and [there was] not one feeble [person] among their tribes.

38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.

39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.

40 [The people] asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places [like] a river.

42 For he remembered his holy promise, [and] Abraham his servant.

43 And he brought forth his people with joy, [and] his chosen with gladness:

44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;

45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.

1 Give thanks unto the LORD, and preach his name; declare his doings among the nations;

2 Sing of him, and praise him; speak of all his wonders;

3 Praise his holy name; let the heart of them that seek the LORD rejoice.

4 Inquire ye of the LORD, and of his power; seek his face always.

5 Remember his wondrous works which he hath done, his miracles, and his word,

6 You, the seed of Abraham his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones!

7 He is the LORD our God: he judgeth in all the earth.

8 He remembereth his covenant for ever, the word which he promised for many thousands to come and to go.

9 Which he made with Abraham, and of the oath with Isaac,

10 And established the same Jacob for a law, and Israel for an everlasting covenant.

11 And said, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance,

12 For they were few and poor, and strangers within.

13 And they went from nation to nation, from kingdom to kingdom.

14 He suffered no man to harm them, and punished kings for their sakes.

15 do not touch my anointed, and do not harm my prophets.

16 And he caused a famine to come into the land, and took away all the supply of bread.

17 And he sent a man before them; and Joseph was sold for a servant.

18 They constrained his feet in the stocks, and his body was made to lie in irons,

19 Till his word came, and the speech of the LORD purified him.

20 And the king sent, and loosed him: and the lord of nations loosed him.

21 And he made him lord of his house, and ruler over all his goods,

22 That he might instruct his princes after his manner, and teach his ancients wisdom.

23 And Israel went into Egypt, and Jacob was a stranger in the land of Ham.

24 And he increased his people greatly, and made them mightier than their enemies.

25 He turned away their hearts, so that they were angry with his people, and thought to subdue his servants with guile.

26 And he sent his servant Moses, Aaron, whom he had chosen.

27 These did his signs among them, and his wonders in the land of Ham.

28 He caused darkness to come, and made it dark; and were not disobedient to his words.

29 He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish.

30 Their land swarmed with toads out of the chambers of their kings.

31 He said, There came vermin, lice, in all their borders.

32 He gave them hail for rain, flames of fire in their land;

33 And he smote their vines and their fig trees, and brake the trees within their borders.

34 And he said, There came locusts and beetles without number.

35 And they did eat all the grass of their land, and did eat the fruit of their field.

36 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt, all their firstborn heirs.

37 And he brought them out with silver and gold; and there was not an infirm man among their tribes.

38 And Egypt was glad that they went out: for their fear was fallen upon them.

39 And he spread out a cloud for a covering, and a fire to shine by night.

40 And they asked, and he sent for quails; and he filled them with bread from heaven.

41 And he opened the rock, and waters flowed out, and streams ran in the dry wilderness.

42 For he remembered his holy word, spoken unto Abraham his servant.

43 So he brought forth his people with joy, and his elect with gladness.

44 And gave them the lands of the heathen, that they might take the goods of the nations.

45 That they might keep his statutes, and keep his judgments. Hallelujah!
