105:1 Oh give thanks to the LORD; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples! 105:2 Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works! 105:3 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice! 105:4 Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his presence continually! 105:5 Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered, 105:6 O offspring of Abraham, his servant, children 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 that he commanded, for a thousand generations, 105:9 the covenant that he made with Abraham, his sworn promise to Isaac, 105:10 which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant, 105:11 saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan as your portion for an inheritance." 105:12 When they were few in number, of little account, and sojourners in it, 105:13 wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people, 105:14 he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their account, 105:15 saying, "Touch not my anointed ones, do my prophets no harm!" 105:16 When he summoned a famine on the land and broke all supply of bread, 105:17 he had sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave. 105:18 His feet were hurt with fetters; his neck was put in a collar of iron; 105:19 until what he had said came to pass, the word of the LORD tested him. 105:20 The king sent and released him; the ruler of the peoples set him free; 105:21 he made him lord of his house and ruler of all his possessions, 105:22 to bind his princes at his pleasure and to teach his elders wisdom. 105:23 Then Israel came to Egypt; Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. 105:24 And the LORD made his people very fruitful and made them stronger than their foes. 105:25 He turned their hearts 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 performed his signs among them and miracles in the land of Ham. 105:28 He sent darkness, and made the land dark; they did not rebel against his words. 105:29 He turned their waters into blood and caused their fish to die. 105:30 Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the chambers of their kings. 105:31 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats throughout their country. 105:32 He gave them hail for rain, and fiery lightning bolts through 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, young locusts without number, 105:35 which devoured all the vegetation in their land and ate up the fruit of their ground. 105:36 He struck down all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their strength. 105:37 Then he brought out Israel with silver and gold, and there was none among his tribes who stumbled. 105:38 Egypt was glad when they departed, for dread of them had fallen upon it. 105:39 He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light by night. 105:40 They asked, and he brought quail, and gave them bread from heaven in abundance. 105:41 He opened the rock, and water gushed out; it flowed through the desert like a river. 105:42 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham, his servant. 105:43 So he brought his people out with joy, his chosen ones with singing. 105:44 And he gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples' toil, 105:45 that they might keep his statutes and observe his laws. Praise the LORD!
