Psalm 105

English Standard Version ESV

1 Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples!

2 Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works!

3 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!

4 Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!

5 Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered,

6 O offspring of Abraham, his servant, children of Jacob, his chosen ones!

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

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

9 the covenant that he made with Abraham, his sworn promise to Isaac,

10 which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant,

11 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan as your portion for an inheritance. ”

12 When they were few in number, of little account, and sojourners in it,

13 wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,

14 he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their account,

15 saying, “Touch not my anointed ones, do my prophets no harm! ”

16 When he summoned a famine on the land and broke all supply of bread,

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

18 His feet were hurt with fetters; his neck was put in a collar of iron;

19 until what he had said came to pass, the word of the Lord tested him.

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

21 he made him lord of his house and ruler of all his possessions,

22 to bind his princes at his pleasure and to teach his elders wisdom.

23 Then Israel came to Egypt; Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

24 And the Lord made his people very fruitful and made them stronger than their foes.

25 He turned their hearts to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants.

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

27 They performed his signs among them and miracles in the land of Ham.

28 He sent darkness, and made the land dark; they did not rebel against his words.

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

30 Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the chambers of their kings.

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

32 He gave them hail for rain, and fiery lightning bolts through 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, young locusts without number,

35 which devoured all the vegetation in their land and ate up the fruit of their ground.

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

37 Then he brought out Israel with silver and gold, and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.

38 Egypt was glad when they departed, for dread of them had fallen upon it.

39 He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light by night.

40 They asked, and he brought quail, and gave them bread from heaven in abundance.

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

42 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham, his servant.

43 So he brought his people out with joy, his chosen ones with singing.

44 And he gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples’ toil,

45 that they might keep his statutes and observe his laws. Praise the Lord!

New Living Translation NLT

1 Give thanks to the LORD and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done.

2 Sing to him; yes, sing his praises. Tell everyone about his wonderful deeds.

3 Exult in his holy name; rejoice, you who worship the LORD .

4 Search for the LORD and for his strength; continually seek him.

5 Remember the wonders he has performed, his miracles, and the rulings he has given,

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

7 He is the LORD our God. His justice is seen throughout the land.

8 He always stands by his covenant— the commitment he made to a thousand generations.

9 This is the covenant he made with Abraham and the oath he swore to Isaac.

10 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, and to the people of Israel as a never-ending covenant:

11 “I will give you the land of Canaan as your special possession.”

12 He said this when they were few in number, a tiny group of strangers in Canaan.

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

14 Yet he did not let anyone oppress them. He warned kings on their behalf:

15 “Do not touch my chosen people, and do not hurt my prophets.”

16 He called for a famine on the land of Canaan, cutting off its food supply.

17 Then he sent someone to Egypt ahead of them— Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

18 They bruised his feet with fetters and placed his neck in an iron collar.

19 Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the LORD tested Joseph’s character.

20 Then Pharaoh sent for him and set him free; the ruler of the nation opened his prison door.

21 Joseph was put in charge of all the king’s household; he became ruler over all the king’s possessions.

22 He could instruct the king’s aides as he pleased and teach the king’s advisers.

23 Then Israel arrived in Egypt; Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham.

24 And the LORD multiplied the people of Israel until they became too mighty for their enemies.

25 Then he turned the Egyptians against the Israelites, and they plotted against the LORD ’s servants.

26 But the LORD sent his servant Moses, along with Aaron, whom he had chosen.

27 They performed miraculous signs among the Egyptians, and wonders in the land of Ham.

28 The LORD blanketed Egypt in darkness, for they had defied his commands to let his people go.

29 He turned their water into blood, poisoning all the fish.

30 Then frogs overran the land and even invaded the king’s bedrooms.

31 When the LORD spoke, flies descended on the Egyptians, and gnats swarmed across Egypt.

32 He sent them hail instead of rain, and lightning flashed over the land.

33 He ruined their grapevines and fig trees and shattered all the trees.

34 He spoke, and hordes of locusts came— young locusts beyond number.

35 They ate up everything green in the land, destroying all the crops in their fields.

36 Then he killed the oldest son in each Egyptian home, the pride and joy of each family.

37 The LORD brought his people out of Egypt, loaded with silver and gold; and not one among the tribes of Israel even stumbled.

38 Egypt was glad when they were gone, for they feared them greatly.

39 The LORD spread a cloud above them as a covering and gave them a great fire to light the darkness.

40 They asked for meat, and he sent them quail; he satisfied their hunger with manna—bread from heaven.

41 He split open a rock, and water gushed out to form a river through the dry wasteland.

42 For he remembered his sacred promise to his servant Abraham.

43 So he brought his people out of Egypt with joy, his chosen ones with rejoicing.

44 He gave his people the lands of pagan nations, and they harvested crops that others had planted.

45 All this happened so they would follow his decrees and obey his instructions. Praise the LORD !
