Psalms - Chapter 105 | New International Version

  • 1. Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.
  • 2. Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.
  • 3. Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
  • 4. Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.
  • 5. Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,
  • 6. O descendants of Abraham his servant, O sons 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 he commanded, for a thousand generations,
  • 9. the covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac.
  • 10. He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
  • 11. To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion you will inherit.
  • 12. When they were but few in number, few indeed, and strangers in it,
  • 13. they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
  • 14. He allowed no one to oppress them; for their sake he rebuked kings:
  • 15. Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.
  • 16. He called down famine on the land and destroyed all their supplies of food;
  • 17. and he sent a man before them-- Joseph, sold as a slave.
  • 18. They bruised his feet with shackles, his neck was put in irons,
  • 19. till what he foretold came to pass, till the word of the LORD proved him true.
  • 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 he possessed,
  • 22. to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.
  • 23. Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob lived as an alien in the land of Ham.
  • 24. The LORD made his people very fruitful; he made them too numerous for 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, his wonders in the land of Ham.
  • 28. He sent darkness and made the land dark-- for had they not rebelled against his words?
  • 29. He turned their waters into blood, causing their fish to die.
  • 30. Their land teemed with frogs, which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.
  • 31. He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats throughout their country.
  • 32. He turned their rain into hail, with lightning throughout 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, grasshoppers without number;
  • 35. they ate up every green thing in their land, ate up the produce of their soil.
  • 36. Then he struck down all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their manhood.
  • 37. He brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold, and from among their tribes no one faltered.
  • 38. Egypt was glad when they left, because dread of Israel had fallen on them.
  • 39. He spread out a cloud as a covering, and a fire to give light at night.
  • 40. They asked, and he brought them quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
  • 41. He opened the rock, and water gushed out; like a river it flowed in the desert.
  • 42. For he remembered his holy promise given to his servant Abraham.
  • 43. He brought out his people with rejoicing, his chosen ones with shouts of joy;
  • 44. he gave them the lands of the nations, and they fell heir to what others had toiled for--
  • 45. that they might keep his precepts and observe his laws. Praise the LORD.
