105:1  O give thanks to the LORD, call on his name, make known his deeds among the peoples!

105:2  Sing to him, sing praises to him, tell of all his wonderful works!

105:3  Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice!

105:4  Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his presence continually!

105:5  Remember the wonderful works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered,

105:6  O offspring of Abraham his servant, sons of Jacob, his chosen ones!

105:7  He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

105:8  He is mindful of his covenant for ever, of the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,

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

105:10  which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant,

105:11  saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan as your portion for an inheritance."

105:12  When they were few in number, of little account, and sojourners in it,

105:13  wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,

105:14  he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their account,

105:15  saying, "Touch not my anointed ones, do my prophets no harm!"

105:16  When he summoned a famine on the land, and broke every staff of bread,

105:17  he had sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

105:18  His feet were hurt with fetters, his neck was put in a collar of iron;

105:19  until what he had said came to pass the word of the LORD tested him.

105:20  The king sent and released him, the ruler of the peoples set him free;

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

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

105:23  Then Israel came to Egypt; Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

105:24  And the LORD made his people very fruitful, and made them stronger than their foes.

105:25  He turned their hearts to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants.

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

105:27  They wrought his signs among them, and miracles in the land of Ham.

105:28  He sent darkness, and made the land dark; they rebelled against his words.

105:29  He turned their waters into blood, and caused their fish to die.

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

105:31  He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats throughout their country.

105:32  He gave them hail for rain, and lightning that flashed through their land.

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

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

105:35  which devoured all the vegetation in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.

105:36  He smote all the first-born in their land, the first issue of all their strength.

105:37  Then he led forth Israel with silver and gold, and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.

105:38  Egypt was glad when they departed, for dread of them had fallen upon it.

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

105:40  They asked, and he brought quails, and gave them bread from heaven in abundance.

105:41  He opened the rock, and water gushed forth; it flowed through the desert like a river.

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

105:43  So he led forth his people with joy, his chosen ones with singing.

105:44  And he gave them the lands of the nations; and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples' toil,

105:45  to the end that they should keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise the LORD!
