Psalms 105

New Revised Standard NRS

1 O give thanks to the Lord, call on his name, make known his deeds among the peoples.

2 Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wonderful 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 wonderful works he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he has uttered,

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

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

8 He is mindful of his covenant forever, of 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 strangers 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, "Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm."

16 When he summoned famine against the land, and broke every staff 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 kept testing 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 instruct his officials at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.

23 Then Israel came to Egypt; Jacob lived as an alien in the land of Ham.

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

25 whose hearts he then turned to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants.

26 He sent his servant Moses, 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 rebelled 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 lightning that flashed through their land.

33 He struck their vines and fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country.

34 He spoke, and the locusts came, and young locusts without number;

35 they 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 first issue of all their strength.

37 Then he brought Israel out with silver and gold, and there was no one among their 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 quails, and gave them food 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 He gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the wealth of the peoples,

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

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!
