105:1 Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.
105:2 Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.
105:3 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
105:4 Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.
105:5 Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,
105:6 O descendants of Abraham his servant, O sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.
105:7 He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
105:8 He remembers his covenant forever, the word he commanded, for a thousand generations,
105:9 the covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac.
105:10 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
105:11 “To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion you will inherit.”
105:12 When they were but few in number, few indeed, and strangers in it,
105:13 they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
105:14 He allowed no one to oppress them; for their sake he rebuked kings:
105:15 “Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.”
105:16 He called down famine on the land and destroyed all their supplies of food;
105:17 and he sent a man before them–Joseph, sold as a slave.
105:18 They bruised his feet with shackles, his neck was put in irons,
105:19 till what he foretold came to pass, till the word of the LORD proved him true.
105:20 The king sent and released him, the ruler of peoples set him free.
105:21 He made him master of his household, ruler over all he possessed,
105:22 to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.
105:23 Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob lived as an alien in the land of Ham.
105:24 The LORD made his people very fruitful; he made them too numerous for their foes,
105:25 whose hearts he turned to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.
105:26 He sent Moses his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
105:27 They performed his miraculous signs among them, his wonders in the land of Ham.
105:28 He sent darkness and made the land dark–for had they not rebelled against his words?
105:29 He turned their waters into blood, causing their fish to die.
105:30 Their land teemed with frogs, which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.
105:31 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats throughout their country.
105:32 He turned their rain into hail, with lightning throughout their land;
105:33 he struck down their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country.
105:34 He spoke, and the locusts came, grasshoppers without number;
105:35 they ate up every green thing in their land, ate up the produce of their soil.
105:36 Then he struck down all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their manhood.
105:37 He brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold, and from among their tribes no one faltered.
105:38 Egypt was glad when they left, because dread of Israel had fallen on them.
105:39 He spread out a cloud as a covering, and a fire to give light at night.
105:40 They asked, and he brought them quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
105:41 He opened the rock, and water gushed out; like a river it flowed in the desert.
105:42 For he remembered his holy promise given to his servant Abraham.
105:43 He brought out his people with rejoicing, his chosen ones with shouts of joy;
105:44 he gave them the lands of the nations, and they fell heir to what others had toiled for–
105:45 that they might keep his precepts and observe his laws. Praise the LORD.
105:1 Give thanks to Jehovah; call upon His name; / Make known His deeds among the peoples.
105:2 Sing to Him; sing psalms to Him; / Muse upon all His wondrous deeds.
105:3 Glory in His holy name; / Let the heart of those who seek Jehovah rejoice.
105:4 Seek Jehovah and His strength; / Seek His face continually.
105:5 Remember His wondrous deeds, which He has done, / His signs and the judgments of His mouth,
105:6 O seed of Abraham His servant, / O children of Jacob, His chosen ones.
105:7 He is Jehovah our God; / His judgments are in all the earth.
105:8 He has remembered His covenant forever, / The word that He commanded to a thousand generations,
105:9 The covenant that He made with Abraham, / And His oath unto Isaac.
105:10 And He confirmed it unto Jacob as a statute, / Unto Israel as an eternal covenant,
105:11 Saying, To you I will give the land of Canaan, / The portion of your inheritance;
105:12 When they were men few in number, / Indeed very few and strangers in the land.
105:13 And they went about from nation to nation, / From one kingdom to another people.
105:14 He allowed no man to oppress them; / Indeed He rebuked kings for their sake.
105:15 Saying, Do not touch My anointed ones, / And do My prophets no harm.
105:16 And He called a famine upon the land; / He broke the whole staff of bread.
105:17 He sent a man before them; / Joseph was sold as a servant.
105:18 They afflicted his feet with fetters; / He himself was placed in irons.
105:19 Until the time when his word came to pass, / The word of Jehovah tried him.
105:20 The king sent men and freed him, / Even the ruler of the peoples, and let him go.
105:21 He made him lord of his house / And ruler over all his possessions,
105:22 To imprison his princes at will, / And to teach his elders wisdom.
105:23 Then Israel came into Egypt, / And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
105:24 And He made His people very fruitful, / And caused them to be mightier than their adversaries.
105:25 He turned their heart to hate His people, / To deal craftily with His servants.
105:26 He sent Moses His servant, / And Aaron, whom He had chosen.
105:27 They set His signs among them, / And wonders in the land of Ham.
105:28 He sent darkness and made it dark; / And they did not rebel against His words.
105:29 He turned their waters into blood, / And killed their fish.
105:30 Their land teemed with frogs, / Even in the chambers of their kings.
105:31 He spoke, and a swarm of flies came; / There were lice within all their borders.
105:32 He gave them hail for rain, / And flaming fire in their land.
105:33 He struck their vines and their fig trees, / And He broke the trees of their borders.
105:34 He spoke, and the swarming locusts came, / And the licking locusts, even without number.
105:35 And they ate every herb in their land, / And they ate the fruit of their ground.
105:36 He struck all the firstborn in their land, / The firstfruits of all their vigor.
105:37 And He brought them out with silver and gold, / And there was none among His tribes who stumbled.
105:38 Egypt rejoiced at their going forth, / For a dread of them had fallen upon them.
105:39 He spread a cloud for a covering, / And a fire to give light by night.
105:40 They asked, and He brought quails; / And He satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
105:41 He opened the rock, and water gushed forth; / It ran in the dry places like a river.
105:42 For He remembered His holy word / And Abraham His servant.
105:43 And He brought forth His people with gladness, / His chosen ones with a ringing shout.
105:44 And He gave them the lands of the nations, / And they took possession of the labor of the peoples,
105:45 So that they might keep His statutes / And observe His laws. / Hallelujah.
