Psalms 105

¹Give thanks to the LORD, proclaim his greatness; tell the nations what he has done.

²Sing praise to the LORD; tell the wonderful things he has done.

³Be glad that we belong to him; let all who worship him rejoice.

⁴Go to the LORD for help; and worship him continually.

⁵You descendants of Abraham, his servant; you descendants of Jacob, the man he chose: remember the miracles that God performed and the judgments that he gave.

⁷The LORD is our God; his commands are for all the world.

⁸He will keep his covenant forever, his promises for a thousand generations.

⁹He will keep the agreement he made with Abraham and his promise to Isaac.

¹⁰The LORD made a covenant with Jacob, one that will last forever.

¹¹"I will give you the land of Canaan,"he said. "It will be your own possession."

¹²God's people were few in number, strangers in the land of Canaan.

¹³They wandered from country to country, from one kingdom to another.

¹⁴But God let no one oppress them; to protect them, he warned the kings:

¹⁵"Don't harm my chosen servants; do not touch my prophets."

¹⁶The LORD sent famine to their country and took away all their food.

¹⁷But he sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, who had been sold as a slave.

¹⁸His feet were kept in chains, and an iron collar was around his neck,

¹⁹until what he had predicted came true. The word of the LORD proved him right.

²⁰Then the king of Egypt had him released; the ruler of nations set him free.

²¹He put him in charge of his government and made him ruler over all the land,

²²with power over the king's officials and authority to instruct his advisers.

²³Then Jacob went to Egypt and settled in that country.

²⁴The LORD gave many children to his people and made them stronger than their enemies.

²⁵He made the Egyptians hate his people and treat his servants with deceit.

²⁶Then he sent his servant Moses, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.

²⁷They did God's mighty acts and performed miracles in Egypt.

²⁸God sent darkness on the country, but the Egyptians did not obey his command.

²⁹He turned their rivers into blood and killed all their fish.

³⁰Their country was overrun with frogs; even the palace was filled with them.

³¹God commanded, and flies and gnats swarmed throughout the whole country.

³²He sent hail and lightning on their land instead of rain;

³³he destroyed their grapevines and fig trees and broke down all the trees.

³⁴He commanded, and the locusts came, countless millions of them;

³⁵they ate all the plants in the land; they ate all the crops.

³⁶He killed the first-born sons of all the families of Egypt.

³⁷Then he led the Israelites out; they carried silver and gold, and all of them were healthy and strong.

³⁸The Egyptians were afraid of them and were glad when they left.

³⁹God put a cloud over his people and a fire at night to give them light.

⁴⁰They asked, and he sent quails; he gave them food from heaven to satisfy them.

⁴¹He opened a rock, and water gushed out, flowing through the desert like a river.

⁴²He remembered his sacred promise to Abraham his servant.

⁴³So he led his chosen people out, and they sang and shouted for joy.

⁴⁴He gave them the lands of other peoples and let them take over their fields,

⁴⁵so that his people would obey his laws and keep all his commands. Praise the LORD!
