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