Psalm 105:1-22

World English Bible

105 Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name!
    Make his doings known among the peoples.
² Sing to him, sing praises to him!
    Tell of all his marvelous works.
³ Glory in his holy name.
    Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
⁴ Seek Yahweh and his strength.
    Seek his face forever more.
⁵ Remember his marvelous works that he has done:
    his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
⁶ you offspring of Abraham, his servant,
    you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
⁷ He is Yahweh, our God.
    His judgments are in all the earth.
⁸ He has remembered his covenant forever,
    the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
⁹ the covenant which he made with Abraham,
    his oath to Isaac,
¹⁰ and confirmed it to Jacob for a statute;
    to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
¹¹ saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan,
    the lot of your inheritance,”
¹² when they were but a few men in number,
    yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
¹³ They went about from nation to nation,
    from one kingdom to another people.
¹⁴ He allowed no one to do them wrong.
    Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
¹⁵ “Don’t touch my anointed ones!
    Do my prophets no harm!”
¹⁶ He called for a famine on the land.
    He destroyed the food supplies.
¹⁷ He sent a man before them.
    Joseph was sold for a slave.
¹⁸ They bruised his feet with shackles.
    His neck was locked in irons,
¹⁹ until the time that his word happened,
    and Yahweh’s word proved him true.
²⁰ The king sent and freed him,
    even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
²¹ He made him lord of his house,
    and ruler of all of his possessions,
²² to discipline his princes at his pleasure,
    and to teach his elders wisdom.
