Psalms 105

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 O give praise to the Lord; give honour to his name, talking of his doings among the peoples.

2 Let your voice be sounding in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.

3 Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad.

4 Let your search be for the Lord and for his strength; let your hearts ever be turned to him.

5 Keep in mind the great works which he has done; his wonders, and the decisions of his mouth;

6 O you seed of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his loved ones.

7 He is the Lord our God: he is judge of all the earth.

8 He has kept his agreement in mind for ever, the word which he gave for a thousand generations;

9 The agreement which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac;

10 And he gave it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an eternal agreement;

11 Saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan, the measured line of your heritage:

12 When they were still small in number, and strange in the land;

13 When they went about from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another people.

14 He would not let anyone do them wrong; he even kept back kings because of them,

15 Saying, Put not your hand on those who have been marked with my holy oil, and do my prophets no wrong.

16 And he took away all food from the land, so that the people were without bread.

17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was given as a servant for a price:

18 His feet were fixed in chains; his neck was put in iron bands;

19 Till the time when his word came true; he was tested by the word of the Lord.

20 The king sent men to take off his chains; even the ruler of the people, who let him go free.

21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler over everything he had;

22 To give his chiefs teaching at his pleasure, and so that his law-givers might get wisdom from him.

23 Then Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob was living in the land of Ham.

24 And his people were greatly increased, and became stronger than those who were against them.

25 Their hearts were turned to hate against his people, so that they made secret designs against them.

26 He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, the man of his selection.

27 He let his signs be seen among the people, and his wonders in the land of Ham.

28 He sent black night and made it dark; and they did not go against his word.

29 At his word their waters were turned to blood, and he sent death on all their fish.

30 Their land was full of frogs, even in the rooms of the king.

31 He gave the word, and there came the dog-fly, and insects over all the land.

32 He gave them ice for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

33 He gave their vines and their fig-trees to destruction, and the trees of their land were broken down.

34 At his word the locusts came, and young locusts more than might be numbered,

35 And put an end to all the plants of their land, taking all the fruit of the earth for food.

36 He put to death the first child of every family in the land, the first-fruits of their strength.

37 He took his people out with silver and gold: there was not one feeble person among them.

38 Egypt was glad when they went; for the fear of them had come down on them.

39 A cloud was stretched over them for a cover; and he sent fire to give light in the night.

40 At the people's request he sent birds, and gave them the bread of heaven for food.

41 His hand made the rock open, and the waters came streaming out; they went down through the dry places like a river.

42 For he kept in mind his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.

43 And he took his people out with joy, the men of his selection with glad cries:

44 And gave them the lands of the nations; and they took the work of the peoples for a heritage;

45 So that they might keep his orders, and be true to his laws. Give praise to 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.
