Psalms - Chapter 105 | English Standard Version

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