Psalm 105

	Psa 105:1	Oh give thanks to the Lord ; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples!
	Psa 105:2	Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works!
	Psa 105:3	Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
	Psa 105:4	Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!
	Psa 105:5	Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered,
	Psa 105:6	O offspring of Abraham, his servant, children of Jacob, his chosen ones!
	Psa 105:7	He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
	Psa 105:8	He remembers his covenant forever, the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,
	Psa 105:9	the covenant that he made with Abraham, his sworn promise to Isaac,
	Psa 105:10	which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
	Psa 105:11	saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan as your portion for an inheritance."
	Psa 105:12	When they were few in number, of little account, and sojourners in it,
	Psa 105:13	wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,
	Psa 105:14	he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their account,
	Psa 105:15	saying, "Touch not my anointed ones, do my prophets no harm!"
	Psa 105:16	When he summoned a famine on the land and broke all supply [fn] of bread,
	Psa 105:17	he had sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
	Psa 105:18	His feet were hurt with fetters; his neck was put in a collar of iron;
	Psa 105:19	until what he had said came to pass, the word of the Lord tested him.
	Psa 105:20	The king sent and released him; the ruler of the peoples set him free;
	Psa 105:21	he made him lord of his house and ruler of all his possessions,
	Psa 105:22	to bind [fn] his princes at his pleasure and to teach his elders wisdom.
	Psa 105:23	Then Israel came to Egypt; Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
	Psa 105:24	And the Lord made his people very fruitful and made them stronger than their foes.
	Psa 105:25	He turned their hearts to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants.
	Psa 105:26	He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
	Psa 105:27	They performed his signs among them and miracles in the land of Ham.
	Psa 105:28	He sent darkness, and made the land dark; they did not rebel [fn] against his words.
	Psa 105:29	He turned their waters into blood and caused their fish to die.
	Psa 105:30	Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the chambers of their kings.
	Psa 105:31	He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats throughout their country.
	Psa 105:32	He gave them hail for rain, and fiery lightning bolts through their land.
	Psa 105:33	He struck down their vines and fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country.
	Psa 105:34	He spoke, and the locusts came, young locusts without number,
	Psa 105:35	which devoured all the vegetation in their land and ate up the fruit of their ground.
	Psa 105:36	He struck down all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their strength.
	Psa 105:37	Then he brought out Israel with silver and gold, and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.
	Psa 105:38	Egypt was glad when they departed, for dread of them had fallen upon it.
	Psa 105:39	He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light by night.
	Psa 105:40	They asked, and he brought quail, and gave them bread from heaven in abundance.
	Psa 105:41	He opened the rock, and water gushed out; it flowed through the desert like a river.
	Psa 105:42	For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham, his servant.
	Psa 105:43	So he brought his people out with joy, his chosen ones with singing.
	Psa 105:44	And he gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples' toil,
	Psa 105:45	that they might keep his statutes and observe his laws. Praise the Lord !
