Psalm 105

Common English Bible CEB

1 Give thanks to the LORD; call upon his name; make his deeds known to all people!

2 Sing to God; sing praises to the Lord; dwell on all his wondrous works!

3 Give praise to God's holy name! Let the hearts rejoice of all those seeking the LORD!

4 Pursue the LORD and his strength; seek his face always!

5 Remember the wondrous works he has done, all his marvelous works, and the justice he declared—

6 you who are the offspring of Abraham, his servant, and the children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

7 The LORD—he is our God. His justice is everywhere throughout the whole world.

8 God remembers his covenant forever, the word he commanded to a thousand generations,

9 which he made with Abraham, the solemn pledge he swore to Isaac.

10 God set it up as binding law for Jacob, as an eternal covenant for Israel,

11 promising, "I hereby give you the land of Canaan as your allotted inheritance."

12 When they were few in number— insignificant, just immigrants—

13 wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to the next,

14 God didn't let anyone oppress them. God punished kings for their sake:

15 "Don't touch my anointed ones; don't harm my prophets!"

16 When God called for a famine in the land, destroying every source of food,

17 he sent a man ahead of them, who was sold as a slave: it was Joseph.

18 Joseph's feet hurt in his shackles; his neck was in an iron collar,

19 until what he predicted actually happened, until what the LORD had said proved him true.

20 The king sent for Joseph and set him free; the ruler of many people released him.

21 The king made Joseph master of his house and ruler over everything he owned,

22 to make sure his princes acted according to his will, and to teach wisdom to his advisors.

23 That's how Israel came to Egypt, how Jacob became an immigrant in the land of Ham.

24 God made his people very fruitful, more powerful than their enemies,

25 whose hearts God changed so they hated his people and dealt shrewdly with his servants.

26 God sent Moses his servant and the one he chose, Aaron.

27 They put God's signs on Egypt, his marvelous works on the land of Ham.

28 God sent darkness, and it became dark, but the Egyptians rejected his word.

29 God turned their waters into blood and killed their fish.

30 God made their land swarm with frogs— even in the bedrooms of their king!

31 God spoke, and the insects came— gnats throughout their whole country!

32 God turned their rain into hail along with lightning flashes throughout their land.

33 God destroyed their vines and their fig trees; shattered the trees of their countryside.

34 God spoke, and the locusts came— countless grasshoppers came!

35 They devoured all the plants in their land; they devoured the fruit of their soil.

36 God struck down all the oldest sons throughout their land; struck down their very pride and joy.

37 Then God brought Israel out, filled with silver and gold; not one of its tribes stumbled.

38 Egypt celebrated when they left, because the dread of Israel had come upon them.

39 God spread out clouds as a covering; gave lightning to provide light at night.

40 The people asked, and God brought quail; God filled them full with food from heaven.

41 God opened the rock and out gushed water— flowing like a river through the desert!

42 Because God remembered his holy promise to Abraham his servant,

43 God brought his people out with rejoicing, his chosen ones with songs of joy.

44 God gave them the lands of other nations; they inherited the wealth of many peoples—

45 all so that they would keep his laws and observe his instructions. Praise the LORD!

The Message Bible MSG

1 Hallelujah! Thank God! Pray to him by name! Tell everyone you meet what he has done!

2 Sing him songs, belt out hymns, translate his wonders into music!

3 Honor his holy name with Hallelujahs, you who seek God. Live a happy life!

4 Keep your eyes open for God, watch for his works; be alert for signs of his presence.

5 Remember the world of wonders he has made, his miracles, and the verdicts he's rendered -

6 O seed of Abraham, his servant, O child of Jacob, his chosen.

7 He's God, our God, in charge of the whole earth.

8 And he remembers, remembers his Covenant - for a thousand generations he's been as good as his word.

9 It's the Covenant he made with Abraham, the same oath he swore to Isaac,

10 The very statute he established with Jacob, the eternal Covenant with Israel,

11 Namely, "I give you the land. Canaan is your hill-country inheritance."

12 When they didn't count for much, a mere handful, and strangers at that,

13 Wandering from country to country, drifting from pillar to post,

14 He permitted no one to abuse them. He told kings to keep their hands off:

15 "Don't you dare lay a hand on my anointed, don't hurt a hair on the heads of my prophets."

16 Then he called down a famine on the country, he broke every last blade of wheat.

17 But he sent a man on ahead: Joseph, sold as a slave.

18 They put cruel chains on his ankles, an iron collar around his neck,

19 Until God's word came to the Pharaoh, and God confirmed his promise.

20 God sent the king to release him. The Pharaoh set Joseph free;

21 He appointed him master of his palace, put him in charge of all his business

22 To personally instruct his princes and train his advisors in wisdom.

23 Then Israel entered Egypt, Jacob immigrated to the Land of Ham.

24 God gave his people lots of babies; soon their numbers alarmed their foes.

25 He turned the Egyptians against his people; they abused and cheated God's servants.

26 Then he sent his servant Moses, and Aaron, whom he also chose.

27 They worked marvels in that spiritual wasteland, miracles in the Land of Ham.

28 He spoke, "Darkness!" and it turned dark - they couldn't see what they were doing.

29 He turned all their water to blood so that all their fish died;

30 He made frogs swarm through the land, even into the king's bedroom;

31 He gave the word and flies swarmed, gnats filled the air.

32 He substituted hail for rain, he stabbed their land with lightning;

33 He wasted their vines and fig trees, smashed their groves of trees to splinters;

34 With a word he brought in locusts, millions of locusts, armies of locusts;

35 They consumed every blade of grass in the country and picked the ground clean of produce;

36 He struck down every firstborn in the land, the first fruits of their virile powers.

37 He led Israel out, their arms filled with loot, and not one among his tribes even stumbled.

38 Egypt was glad to have them go - they were scared to death of them.

39 God spread a cloud to keep them cool through the day and a fire to light their way through the night;

40 They prayed and he brought quail, filled them with the bread of heaven;

41 He opened the rock and water poured out; it flowed like a river through that desert -

42 All because he remembered his Covenant, his promise to Abraham, his servant.

43 Remember this! He led his people out singing for joy; his chosen people marched, singing their hearts out!

44 He made them a gift of the country they entered, helped them seize the wealth of the nations

45 So they could do everything he told them - could follow his instructions to the letter. Hallelujah!
