Psalms 105

The Lord’s Wonderful Works in Behalf of Israel.

1 ^aGive thanks to the Lord, ^bcall upon His name;
^cMake His deeds known among the peoples.
2 Sing to Him, ^dsing praises to Him;
^{▼▼Or Meditate on
,} ^fTell of all His ^{▼▼I.e., wonderful acts}wonders.
3 Boast in His holy name;
May the ^hheart of those who seek the Lord be joyful.
4 Seek the Lord and ⁱHis strength;
^jSeek His face continually.
5 Remember His ^{▼▼I.e., wonderful acts
,} ^lwonders which He has done,
His marvels and the ^mjudgments ^{▼▼Lit of His mouth}spoken by His mouth,
6 You ^{▼▼Lit seed}descendants of ^pAbraham, His servant,
You sons of ^qJacob, His ^rchosen ones!
7 He is the Lord our God;
His ^sjudgments are in all the earth.

8 He has ^tremembered His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded to a ^uthousand generations,
9 The ^vcovenant which He made with Abraham,
And His ^woath to Isaac.
10 Then He ^xconfirmed it to Jacob as a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
11 Saying, “ ^yTo you I will give the land of Canaan
As the ^{▼▼Lit measuring line
,} ^aaportion of your inheritance,”
12 When they were only a ^abfew people in number,
Very few, and ^acstrangers in it.
13 And they wandered from nation to nation,
From one kingdom to another people,
14 He ^adallowed no one to oppress them,
And He ^{▼▼Or punished
,} ^afrebuked kings for their sakes, saying,
15 “ ^agDo not touch My anointed ones,
And do not harm My prophets.”

16 And He ^ahcalled for a famine upon the land;
He ^aibroke the whole staff of bread.
17 He ^ajsent a man before them,
Joseph, who was ^aksold as a slave.
18 They forced his ^alfeet into shackles,
^{▼▼Lit His soul came into}He was put in irons;
19 Until the time that his ^anword came to pass,
The word of the Lord ^aorefined him.
20 The ^apking sent and released him,
The ruler of peoples, and set him free.
21 He ^aqmade him lord of his house,
And ruler over all his possessions,
22 To ^{▼▼Lit bind}imprison his high officials ^{▼▼Lit at his
,} ^atat will,
That he might teach his elders wisdom.
23 ^auIsrael also came into Egypt;
So Jacob ^avlived in the land of Ham.
24 And He ^awmade His people very fruitful,
And made them stronger than their enemies.

25 He ^axturned their heart to hate His people,
To ^aydeal cunningly with His servants.
26 He ^azsent His servant Moses,
And ^baAaron, whom He had chosen.
27 They ^{▼▼Lit set the words of His signs
,} ^bcperformed His wondrous acts among them,
And miracles in the land of Ham.
28 He ^bdsent darkness and made it dark;
And they did not ^berebel against His words.
29 He ^bfturned their waters into blood,
And caused their fish to die.
30 Their land swarmed with ^bgfrogs
Even in the ^bhchambers of their kings.
31 He spoke, and a ^biswarm of flies
And ^bjgnats invaded all their territory.
32 He ^{▼▼Or made their rain hail}gave them ^blhail for rain,
And flaming fire in their land.
33 He also ^bmstruck their vines and their fig trees,
And smashed the trees of their territory.
34 He spoke, and ^bnlocusts came,
And creeping locusts, beyond number,
35 And they ate all the vegetation in their land,
And ate the fruit of their ground.
36 He also ^bofatally struck all the firstborn in their land,
The ^bpfirst fruits of all their vigor.

37 Then He brought ^{▼▼Lit them}the Israelites out with ^brsilver and gold,
And among His tribes there was not one who stumbled.
38 Egypt was ^bsglad when they departed,
For the ^btdread of them had fallen upon ^{▼▼Lit them}the Egyptians.
39 He spread out a ^bvcloud as a ^{▼▼Or curtain}covering,
And ^bxfire to illumine by night.
40 ^{▼▼Or One}They ^bzasked, and He brought ^caquail,
And satisfied them with the ^{▼▼Or food
,} ^ccbread of heaven.
41 He opened the ^{▼▼Or boulder}rock and ^cewater flowed out;
^{▼▼Lit They went}It ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For He ^cgremembered His holy word
With His servant Abraham;
43 And He led out His people with joy,
His chosen ones with a joyful ^chshout.
44 He also ^cigave them the lands of the ^{▼▼Or Gentiles}nations,
So that they ^ckmight take possession of the fruit of the peoples’ labor,
45 And that they might ^clkeep His statutes
And comply with His laws;
^{▼▼Or Hallelujah!}Praise ^{▼▼Heb Yah}the Lord!
