Psalms 105 — AAB

Tell of His Wonders

105Verse 1Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name;make known His deeds among the nations.^{Verse 2}Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;tell of all His wonders.^{Verse 3}Glory in His holy name;let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.^{Verse 4}Seek out the LORD and His strength;seek His face always.^{Verse 5}Remember the wonders He has done,His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,^{Verse 6}O offspring of His servant Abraham,O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.^{Verse 7}He is the LORD our God;His judgments carry throughout the earth.^{Verse 8}He remembers His covenant forever,the word He ordained for a thousand generations—^{Verse 9}the covenant He made with Abraham,and the oath He swore to Isaac.^{Verse 10}He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree,to Israel as an everlasting covenant:^{Verse 11}“I will give you the land of Canaanas the portion of your inheritance.”^{Verse 12}When they were few in number,few indeed, and strangers in the land,^{Verse 13}they wandered from nation to nation,from one kingdom to another.^{Verse 14}He let no man oppress them;He rebuked kings on their behalf:^{Verse 15}“Do not touch My anointed ones!Do no harm to My prophets!”^{Verse 16}He called down famine on the landand cut off all their supplies⁺of food.^{Verse 17}He sent a man before them—Joseph, sold as a slave.^{Verse 18}They bruised his feet with shacklesand placed his neck in irons,^{Verse 19}until his prediction came trueand the word of the LORD proved him right.^{Verse 20}The king sent and released him;the ruler of peoples set him free.^{Verse 21}He made him master of his household,ruler over all his substance,^{Verse 22}to instruct⁺his princes as he pleasedand teach his elders wisdom.^{Verse 23}Then Israel entered Egypt;Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.^{Verse 24}And the LORD made His people very fruitful,more numerous than their foes,^{Verse 25}whose hearts He turned to hate His people,to conspire against His servants.^{Verse 26}He sent Moses His servant,and Aaron, whom He had chosen.^{Verse 27}They performed His miraculous signs among them,and wonders in the land of Ham.^{Verse 28}He sent darkness, and it became dark—yet they defied His words.^{+Verse 29}He turned their waters to bloodand caused their fish to die.^{Verse 30}Their land teemed with frogs,even in their royal chambers.^{Verse 31}He spoke, and insects swarmed—gnats throughout their country.^{Verse 32}He gave them hail for rain,with lightning throughout their land.^{Verse 33}He struck their vines and fig treesand shattered the trees of their country.^{Verse 34}He spoke, and the locusts came—young locusts without number.^{Verse 35}They devoured every plant in their landand consumed the produce of their soil.^{Verse 36}Then He struck all the firstborn in their land,the firstfruits of all their vigor.^{Verse 37}He brought Israel out with silver and gold,and none among His tribes stumbled.^{Verse 38}Egypt was glad when they departed,for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.^{Verse 39}He spread a cloud as a coveringand a fire to light up the night.^{Verse 40}They asked, and He brought quailand satisfied them with the bread of heaven.^{Verse 41}He opened a rock, and water gushed out;it flowed like a river in the desert.^{Verse 42}For He remembered His holy promiseto Abraham His servant.^{Verse 43}He brought forth His people with rejoicing,His chosen with shouts of joy.^{Verse 44}He gave them the lands of the nations,that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor,^{Verse 45}that they might keep His statutesand obey His laws.
Hallelujah!⁺
