Psalms 105

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 Give thanks to the Lord. Worship him. Tell the nations what he has done.

2 Sing to him. Sing praise to him. Tell about all of the wonderful things he has done.

3 Praise him, because his name is holy. Let the hearts of those who trust in the LORD be glad.

4 Look to the LORD and to his strength. Always look to him.

5 Remember the wonderful things he has done. Remember his miracles and how he judged our enemies.

6 Remember what he has done, you children of his servant Abraham. Remember it, you people of Jacob, God's chosen ones.

7 He is the LORD our God. He judges the whole earth.

8 He will keep his covenant forever. He will keep his promise for all time to come.

9 He will keep the covenant he made with Abraham. He will keep the oath he took when he made his promise to Isaac.

10 He made it stand as a law for Jacob. He made it stand as a covenant for Israel. It will last forever.

11 He said, "I will give you the land of Canaan. It will belong to you."

12 At first there weren't very many of God's people. There were only a few. And they were strangers in the land.

13 They wandered from nation to nation. They wandered from one kingdom to another.

14 But God didn't allow anyone to beat them down. To keep them safe, he gave a command to kings.

15 He said to them, "Do not touch my anointed ones. Do not harm my prophets."

16 He made the people in the land go hungry. He destroyed all their food supplies.

17 He sent a man ahead of them into Egypt. That man was Joseph. He had been sold as a slave.

18 The Egyptians put his feet in chains. They put an iron collar around his neck.

19 He was in prison until what he said would happen came true. The word of the LORD proved that he was right.

20 The king of Egypt sent for Joseph and let him out of prison. The ruler of many nations set him free.

21 He put Joseph in charge of his palace. He made him ruler over everything he owned.

22 Joseph was in charge of teaching the princes. He taught the elders how to think and live wisely.

23 Then the rest of Jacob's family went to Egypt. The people of Israel lived as outsiders in the land of Ham.

24 The LORD gave his people so many children that there were too many of them for their enemies.

25 He made the Egyptians hate his people. The Egyptians made evil plans against them.

26 The LORD sent his servant Moses to the king of Egypt. He sent Aaron, his chosen one, along with him.

27 The LORD gave them the power to do miraculous signs among the Egyptians. They did his wonders in the land of Ham.

28 He sent darkness over the land. He did it because the Egyptians had refused to obey his words.

29 He turned their rivers and streams into blood. He caused the fish in them to die.

30 Their land was covered with frogs. Frogs even went into the bedrooms of the rulers.

31 The LORD spoke, and large numbers of flies came. Gnats filled the whole country.

32 He turned their rain into hail. Lightning flashed all through their land.

33 He destroyed their vines and fig trees. He broke down the trees in Egypt.

34 He spoke, and the locusts came. There were so many of them they couldn't be counted.

35 They ate up every green thing in the land. They ate up what the land produced.

36 Then he killed the oldest son of every family in Egypt. He struck down the oldest of all of their sons.

37 He brought the people of Israel out of Egypt. The Egyptians loaded them down with silver and gold. From among the tribes of Israel no one got tired or fell down.

38 The Egyptians were glad when the people of Israel left. They were terrified because of Israel.

39 The LORD spread out a cloud to cover his people. He gave them a fire to light up the night.

40 They asked for meat, and he brought them quail. He satisfied them with manna, the bread of heaven.

41 He broke open a rock, and streams of water poured out. They flowed like a river in the desert.

42 He remembered the holy promise he had made to his servant Abraham.

43 His chosen people shouted for joy as he brought them out of Egypt.

44 He gave them the lands of other nations. He let them take over what others had worked for.

45 He did it so they might obey his rules and follow his laws. Praise the Lord.

New International Version NIV

1 Give praise to the LORD, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done.

2 Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.

3 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

4 Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.

5 Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,

6 you his servants, the descendants of Abraham, his chosen ones, the children of Jacob.

7 He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

8 He remembers his covenant forever, the promise he made, for a thousand generations,

9 the covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac.

10 He 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.”

12 When they were but few in number, few indeed, and strangers in it,

13 they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.

14 He allowed no one to oppress them; for their sake he rebuked kings:

15 “Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.”

16 He called down famine on the land and destroyed all their supplies of food;

17 and he sent a man before them— Joseph, sold as a slave.

18 They bruised his feet with shackles, his neck was put in irons,

19 till what he foretold came to pass, till the word of the LORD proved him true.

20 The king sent and released him, the ruler of peoples set him free.

21 He made him master of his household, ruler over all he possessed,

22 to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.

23 Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob resided as a foreigner in the land of Ham.

24 The LORD made his people very fruitful; he made them too numerous for their foes,

25 whose hearts he turned to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.

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

27 They performed his signs among them, his wonders in the land of Ham.

28 He sent darkness and made the land dark— for had they not rebelled against his words?

29 He turned their waters into blood, causing their fish to die.

30 Their land teemed with frogs, which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.

31 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats throughout their country.

32 He turned their rain into hail, with lightning throughout their land;

33 he struck down their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country.

34 He spoke, and the locusts came, grasshoppers without number;

35 they ate up every green thing in their land, ate up the produce of their soil.

36 Then he struck down all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their manhood.

37 He brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold, and from among their tribes no one faltered.

38 Egypt was glad when they left, because dread of Israel had fallen on them.

39 He spread out a cloud as a covering, and a fire to give light at night.

40 They asked, and he brought them quail; he fed them well with the bread of heaven.

41 He opened the rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.

42 For he remembered his holy promise given to his servant Abraham.

43 He brought out his people with rejoicing, his chosen ones with shouts of joy;

44 he gave them the lands of the nations, and they fell heir to what others had toiled for—

45 that they might keep his precepts and observe his laws. Praise the LORD.
