Psalms 105
Berean Standard Bible · 45 verses
- Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.
- Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.
- Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
- Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.
- Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,
- O offspring of His servant Abraham, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
- He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth.
- He remembers His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—
- the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.
- He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
- “I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.”
- When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,
- they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
- He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:
- “Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!”
- He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food.
- He sent a man before them—Joseph, sold as a slave.
- They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons,
- until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right.
- The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.
- He made him master of his household, ruler over all his substance,
- to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.
- Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.
- And the LORD made His people very fruitful, more numerous than their foes,
- whose hearts He turned to hate His people, to conspire against His servants.
- He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.
- They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
- He sent darkness, and it became dark—yet they defied His words.
- He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die.
- Their land teemed with frogs, even in their royal chambers.
- He spoke, and insects swarmed—gnats throughout their country.
- He gave them hail for rain, with lightning throughout their land.
- He struck their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country.
- He spoke, and the locusts came—young locusts without number.
- They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil.
- Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.
- He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled.
- Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.
- He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night.
- They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
- He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.
- For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant.
- He brought forth His people with rejoicing, His chosen with shouts of joy.
- He gave them the lands of the nations, that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor,
- that they might keep His statutes and obey His laws. Hallelujah!
