Psalm 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!

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!
