Psalm 105

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!

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 !
