1Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done.2Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.3Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.4Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.5Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,6you his servants, the descendants of Abraham, his chosen ones, the children of Jacob.7He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.8He remembers his covenant for ever, the promise he made, for a thousand generations,9the covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac.10He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:11‘To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion you will inherit.’12When they were but few in number, few indeed, and strangers in it,13they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.14He allowed no-one to oppress them; for their sake he rebuked kings:15‘Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.’16He called down famine on the land and destroyed all their supplies of food;17and he sent a man before them – Joseph, sold as a slave.18They bruised his feet with shackles, his neck was put in irons,19till what he foretold came to pass, till the word of the Lord proved him true.20The king sent and released him, the ruler of peoples set him free.21He made him master of his household, ruler over all he possessed,22to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.23Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob resided as a foreigner in the land of Ham.24The Lord made his people very fruitful; he made them too numerous for their foes,25whose hearts he turned to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.26He sent Moses his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.27They performed his signs among them, his wonders in the land of Ham.28He sent darkness and made the land dark – for had they not rebelled against his words?29He turned their waters into blood, causing their fish to die.30Their land teemed with frogs, which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.31He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats throughout their country.32He turned their rain into hail, with lightning throughout their land;33he struck down their vines and fig-trees and shattered the trees of their country.34He spoke, and the locusts came, grasshoppers without number;35they ate up every green thing in their land, ate up the produce of their soil.36Then he struck down all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their manhood.37He brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold, and from among their tribes no-one faltered.38Egypt was glad when they left, because dread of Israel had fallen on them.39He spread out a cloud as a covering, and a fire to give light at night.40They asked, and he brought them quail; he fed them well with the bread of heaven.41He opened the rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.42For he remembered his holy promise given to his servant Abraham.43He brought out his people with rejoicing, his chosen ones with shouts of joy;44he gave them the lands of the nations, and they fell heir to what others had toiled for –45that they might keep his precepts and observe his laws. Praise the Lord.[1]
Psalm 105
English Standard Version
Tell of All His Wondrous Works
1Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples! (Ge 4:26; 1Ch 16:8; 1Ch 16:34; Ps 99:6; Ps 106:1; Ps 116:13; Ps 116:17; Ps 145:4; Ps 145:11; Isa 12:4)2Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works! (Ps 77:12)3Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!4Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually! (Ps 27:8; Ps 78:61)5Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered, (Ex 6:6; Ex 7:4; Ps 72:18; Ps 77:11)6O offspring of Abraham, his servant, children of Jacob, his chosen ones! (Ps 105:42; Ps 105:43; Ps 106:5; Ps 135:4)7He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth. (Isa 26:9)8He remembers his covenant forever, the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations, (De 7:9; Ps 105:42; Ps 106:45; Ps 111:5; Lu 1:72)9the covenant that he made with Abraham, his sworn promise to Isaac, (Ge 17:2; Ge 22:15; Ge 26:3)10which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant, (Ge 28:13; Ge 35:11)11saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan as your portion for an inheritance.” (Ge 13:15; Ge 15:18; Ps 78:55)12When they were few in number, of little account, and sojourners in it, (Ge 34:30; De 7:7; De 26:5; Heb 11:9)13wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,14he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their account, (Ge 12:17; Ge 20:3; Ge 35:5)15saying, “Touch not my anointed ones, do my prophets no harm!” (Ge 20:6; Ge 26:11)16When he summoned a famine on the land and broke all supply[1] of bread, (Ge 41:54; Le 26:26; 2Ki 8:1; Ps 104:15; Isa 3:1; Eze 4:16; Hag 1:11)17he had sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave. (Ge 37:28; Ge 37:36; Ge 45:5; Ge 50:20; Ac 7:9)18His feet were hurt with fetters; his neck was put in a collar of iron; (Ge 39:20)19until what he had said came to pass, the word of the Lord tested him. (Ge 40:20; Ge 41:53; Jud 7:4)20The king sent and released him; the ruler of the peoples set him free; (Ge 41:14; Ps 146:7)21he made him lord of his house and ruler of all his possessions, (Ge 41:40)22to bind[2] his princes at his pleasure and to teach his elders wisdom.23Then Israel came to Egypt; Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. (Ge 46:6; Ps 78:51; Ps 106:22; Ac 7:15; Ac 13:17)24And the Lord made his people very fruitful and made them stronger than their foes. (Ex 1:7; De 26:5)25He turned their hearts to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants. (Ex 1:8; Ex 1:10; Ex 9:12; Ac 7:19; Ro 11:8)26He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen. (Ex 3:10; Ex 4:12; Nu 16:5; Nu 17:5)27They performed his signs among them and miracles in the land of Ham. (Ps 78:43; Ps 105:23)28He sent darkness, and made the land dark; they did not rebel[3] against his words. (Ex 10:21; Ps 99:7)29He turned their waters into blood and caused their fish to die. (Ex 7:21)30Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the chambers of their kings. (Ex 8:3)31He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats throughout their country. (Ex 8:16; Ex 8:21)32He gave them hail for rain, and fiery lightning bolts through their land. (Ex 9:23)33He struck down their vines and fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country. (Ex 9:25)34He spoke, and the locusts came, young locusts without number, (Ex 10:12)35which devoured all the vegetation in their land and ate up the fruit of their ground.36He struck down all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their strength. (Ps 78:51)37Then he brought out Israel with silver and gold, and there was none among his tribes who stumbled. (Ex 12:35)38Egypt was glad when they departed, for dread of them had fallen upon it. (Ex 12:23; Ex 15:16)39He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light by night. (Ex 13:21; Job 36:20; Isa 4:5)40They asked, and he brought quail, and gave them bread from heaven in abundance. (Ex 16:13; Ps 78:18; Ps 78:24; Ps 78:27; Joh 6:31)41He opened the rock, and water gushed out; it flowed through the desert like a river. (Ps 63:1; Ps 78:15)42For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham, his servant. (Ge 15:14; Ex 2:24; Ps 105:6; Ps 105:8)43So he brought his people out with joy, his chosen ones with singing. (Ex 15:1; Ps 105:42; Isa 35:10)44And he gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples’ toil, (Jos 24:13; Ps 78:55)45that they might keep his statutes and observe his laws. Praise the Lord! (De 4:1; De 4:40; Ps 78:7; Ps 104:35)
