Psalms 105
-
1Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name!
- Make his doings known among the peoples.
-
2Sing to him, sing praises to him!
- Tell of all his marvelous works.
-
3Glory in his holy name.
- Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
-
4Seek Yahweh and his strength.
- Seek his face forever more.
-
5Remember his marvelous works that he has done;
- his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
-
6you seed of Abraham, his servant,
- you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
-
7He is Yahweh, our God.
- His judgments are in all the earth.
-
8He has remembered his covenant forever,
- the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
-
9the covenant which he made with Abraham,
- his oath to Isaac,
-
10and confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute;
- to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
-
11saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan,
- the lot of your inheritance;”
-
12when they were but a few men in number,
- yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
-
13They went about from nation to nation,
- from one kingdom to another people.
-
14He allowed no one to do them wrong.
- Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
-
15“Don’t touch my anointed ones!
- Do my prophets no harm!”
-
16He called for a famine on the land.
- He destroyed the food supplies.
-
17He sent a man before them.
- Joseph was sold for a slave.
-
18They bruised his feet with shackles.
- His neck was locked in irons,
-
19until the time that his word happened,
- and Yahweh’s word proved him true.
-
20The king sent and freed him;
- even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
-
21He made him lord of his house,
- and ruler of all of his possessions;
-
22to discipline his princes at his pleasure,
- and to teach his elders wisdom.
-
23Israel also came into Egypt.
- Jacob lived in the land of Ham.
-
24He increased his people greatly,
- and made them stronger than their adversaries.
-
25He turned their heart to hate his people,
- to conspire against his servants.
-
26He sent Moses, his servant,
- and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
-
27They performed miracles among them,
- and wonders in the land of Ham.
-
28He sent darkness, and made it dark.
- They didn’t rebel against his words.
-
29He turned their waters into blood,
- and killed their fish.
-
30Their land swarmed with frogs,
- even in the rooms of their kings.
-
31He spoke, and swarms of flies came,
- and lice in all their borders.
-
32He gave them hail for rain,
- with lightning in their land.
-
33He struck their vines and also their fig trees,
- and shattered the trees of their country.
-
34He spoke, and the locusts came,
- and the grasshoppers, without number,
-
35ate up every plant in their land;
- and ate up the fruit of their ground.
-
36He struck also all the firstborn in their land,
- the first fruits of all their manhood.
-
37He brought them forth with silver and gold.
- There was not one feeble person among his tribes.
-
38Egypt was glad when they departed,
- for the fear of them had fallen on them.
-
39He spread a cloud for a covering,
- fire to give light in the night.
-
40They asked, and he brought quails,
- and satisfied them with the bread of the sky.
-
41He opened the rock, and waters gushed out.
- They ran as a river in the dry places.
-
42For he remembered his holy word,
- and Abraham, his servant.
-
43He brought forth his people with joy,
- his chosen with singing.
-
44He gave them the lands of the nations.
- They took the labor of the peoples in possession,
-
45that they might keep his statutes,
- and observe his laws.
- Praise Yah!
