Psalms.

Chapter 105.
|
||
Give thanks to the LORD! Call on his name! Make his doings known among the peoples.
|
||
Sing to him, sing praises to him! Tell of all his marvelous works.
|
||
Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
|
||
Seek the LORD and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
|
||
Remember his marvelous works that he has done: his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
|
||
you offspring of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
|
||
He is the LORD, our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
|
||
He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
|
||
the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac,
|
||
and confirmed it to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
|
||
saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance,”
|
||
when they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
|
||
They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
|
||
He allowed no one to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
|
||
“Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”
|
||
He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies.
|
||
He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave.
|
||
They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons,
|
||
until the time that his word happened, and the LORD’s word proved him true.
|
||
The king sent and freed him, even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
|
||
He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all of his possessions,
|
||
to discipline his princes at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.
|
||
Israel also came into Egypt. Jacob lived in the land of Ham.
|
||
He increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries.
|
||
He turned their heart to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.
|
||
He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
|
||
They performed miracles among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
|
||
He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn’t rebel against his words.
|
||
He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish.
|
||
Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their kings.
|
||
He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and lice in all their borders.
|
||
He gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land.
|
||
He struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country.
|
||
He spoke, and the locusts came with the grasshoppers, without number.
|
||
They ate up every plant in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.
|
||
He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood.
|
||
He brought them out with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person among his tribes.
|
||
Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen on them.
|
||
He spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the night.
|
||
They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of the sky.
|
||
He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places.
|
||
For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.
|
||
He brought his people out with joy, his chosen with singing.
|
||
He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession,
|
||
that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise the LORD!
