Psalms 105

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.

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 !
