NHEBME - Psalms - 105

105:1  Give thanks to the Lord! Call on his name! Make his doings known among the peoples.

105:2  Sing to him, sing praises to him! Tell of all his marvelous works.

105:3  Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the Lord rejoice.

105:4  Seek the Lord and his strength. Seek his face forever more.

105:5  Remember his marvelous works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

105:6  you seed of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

105:7  He is the Lord, our God. His judgments are in all the earth.

105:8  He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

105:9  the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac,

105:10  and confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

105:11  saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;"

105:12  when they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.

105:13  They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.

105:14  He allowed no one to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,

105:15  "Do not touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!"

105:16  He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies.

105:17  He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave.

105:18  They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons,

105:19  until the time that his word happened, and the Lord's word proved him true.

105:20  The king sent and freed him; even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.

105:21  He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all of his possessions;

105:22  to discipline his princes at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.

105:23  Israel also came into Egypt. Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

105:24  He increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries.

105:25  He turned their heart to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.

105:26  He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.

105:27  They performed miracles among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

105:28  He sent darkness, and made it dark. They did not rebel against his words.

105:29  He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish.

105:30  Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the chambers of their kings.

105:31  He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and lice in all their borders.

105:32  He gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land.

105:33  He struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country.

105:34  He spoke, and the locusts came, and the grasshoppers, without number,

105:35  ate up every plant in their land; and ate up the fruit of their ground.

105:36  He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood.

105:37  He brought them forth with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person among his tribes.

105:38  Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen on them.

105:39  He spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the night.

105:40  They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of the sky.

105:41  He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places.

105:42  For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.

105:43  He brought forth his people with joy, his chosen with singing.

105:44  He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession,

105:45  that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise the Lord!
