Psalm 105

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 Give thanks to ADONAI! Call on his name! Make his deeds known among the peoples.

2 Sing to him, sing praises to him, talk about all his wonders.

3 Glory in his holy name; let those seeking ADONAI have joyful hearts.

4 Seek ADONAI and his strength; always seek his presence.

5 Remember the wonders he has done, his signs and his spoken rulings.

6 You descendants of Avraham his servant, you offspring of Ya'akov, his chosen ones,

7 he is ADONAI our God! His rulings are everywhere on earth.

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

9 the covenant he made with Avraham, the oath he swore to Yitz'chak,

10 and established as a law for Ya'akov, for Isra'el as an everlasting covenant:

11 "To you I will give the land of Kena'an as your allotted heritage."

12 When they were but few in number, and not only few, but aliens there too,

13 wandering from nation to nation, from this kingdom to that people,

14 he allowed no one to oppress them. Yes, for their sakes he rebuked even kings:

15 "Don't touch my anointed ones or do my prophets harm!"

16 He called down famine on the land, broke off all their food supply,

17 but sent a man ahead of them -Yosef, who was sold as a slave.

18 They shackled his feet with chains, and they bound him in irons;

19 until the time when his word proved true, God's utterance kept testing him.

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

21 he made him lord of his household, in charge of all he owned,

22 correcting his officers as he saw fit and teaching his counselors wisdom.

23 Then Isra'el too came into Egypt, Ya'akov lived as an alien in the land of Ham.

24 There God made his people very fruitful, made them too numerous for their foes,

25 whose hearts he turned to hate his people, and treat his servants unfairly.

26 He sent his servant Moshe and Aharon, whom he had chosen.

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

28 He sent darkness, and the land grew dark; they did not defy his word.

29 He turned their water into blood and caused their fish to die.

30 Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the royal chambers.

31 He spoke, and there came swarms of insects and lice throughout their land.

32 He gave them hail instead of rain, with fiery [lightning] throughout their land.

33 He struck their vines and fig trees, shattering trees all over their country.

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

35 they ate up everything green in their land, devoured the fruit of their ground. 896

36 He struck down all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their strength.

37 Then he led his people out, laden with silver and gold; among his tribes not one stumbled.

38 Egypt was happy to have them leave, because fear of [Isra'el] had seized them.

39 He spread out a cloud to screen them off and fire to give them light at night.

40 When they asked, he brought them quails and satisfied them with food from heaven.

41 He split a rock, and water gushed out, flowing as a river over the dry ground,

42 for he remembered his holy promise to his servant Avraham.

43 He led out his people with joy, his chosen ones with singing.

44 Then he gave them the lands of the nations, and they possessed what peoples had toiled to produce,

45 in order to obey his laws and follow his teachings. Halleluyah!

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!
