Psalms 105 : 1 - 45
Chapter 105
1 | Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples!
|
2 | Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works!
|
3 | Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the LORD!
|
4 | Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face evermore!
|
5 | Remember His marvelous works which He has done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,
|
6 | O seed of Abraham His servant, You 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 which He commanded, for a thousand generations,
|
9 | The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,
|
10 | And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
|
11 | Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan As the allotment of your inheritance,"
|
12 | When they were few in number, Indeed very few, and strangers in it.
|
13 | When they went from one nation to another, From one kingdom to another people,
|
14 | He permitted no one to do them wrong; Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes,
|
15 | Saying, "Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm."
|
16 | Moreover He called for a famine in the land; He destroyed all the provision of bread.
|
17 | He sent a man before them--Joseph--who was sold as a slave.
|
18 | They hurt his feet with fetters, He was laid in irons.
|
19 | Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of the LORD tested him.
|
20 | The king sent and released him, The ruler of the people let him go free.
|
21 | He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all his possessions,
|
22 | To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his elders wisdom.
|
23 | Israel also came into Egypt, And Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.
|
24 | He increased His people greatly, And made them stronger than their enemies.
|
25 | He turned their heart 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 wonders in the land of Ham.
|
28 | He sent darkness, and made it dark; And they did not rebel against His word.
|
29 | He turned their waters into blood, And killed their fish.
|
30 | Their land abounded with frogs, Even in the chambers of their kings.
|
31 | He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, And lice in all their territory.
|
32 | He gave them hail for rain, And flaming fire in their land.
|
33 | He struck their vines also, and their fig trees, And splintered the trees of their territory.
|
34 | He spoke, and locusts came, Young locusts without number,
|
35 | And ate up all the vegetation in their land, And devoured the fruit of their ground.
|
36 | He also destroyed all the firstborn in their land, The first of all their strength.
|
37 | He also brought them out with silver and gold, And there was none feeble among His tribes.
|
38 | Egypt was glad when they departed, For the fear of them had fallen upon them.
|
39 | He spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to give light in the night.
|
40 | The people asked, and He brought quail, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
|
41 | He opened the rock, and water gushed out; It ran in the dry places like a river.
|
42 | For He remembered His holy promise, And Abraham His servant.
|
43 | He brought out His people with joy, His chosen ones with gladness.
|
44 | He gave them the lands of the Gentiles, And they inherited the labor of the nations,
|
45 | That they might observe His statutes And keep His laws. Praise the LORD!
