Psalm 105:1-25

English Standard Version

Tell of All His Wondrous Works

105 ^(A)Oh give thanks to the Lord; ^(B)call upon his name;
    ^(C)make known his deeds among the peoples!
²Sing to him, sing praises to him;
    ^(D)tell of all his wondrous works!
³Glory in his holy name;
    let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
⁴Seek the Lord and his ^(E)strength;
    ^(F)seek his presence continually!
⁵Remember the ^(G)wondrous works that he has done,
    his miracles, and ^(H)the judgments he uttered,
⁶O offspring of ^(I)Abraham, his servant,
    children of Jacob, his ^(J)chosen ones!

⁷He is the Lord our God;
    his ^(K)judgments are in all the earth.
⁸He ^(L)remembers his covenant forever,
    the word that he commanded, for ^(M)a thousand generations,
⁹^(N)the covenant that he made with Abraham,
    his ^(O)sworn promise to Isaac,
¹⁰which he confirmed to ^(P)Jacob as a statute,
    to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
¹¹saying, ^(Q)“To you I will give the land of Canaan
    as ^(R)your portion for an inheritance.”

¹²When they were ^(S)few in number,
    of little account, and ^(T)sojourners in it,
¹³wandering from nation to nation,
    from one kingdom to another people,
¹⁴he ^(U)allowed no one to oppress them;
    he ^(V)rebuked kings on their account,
¹⁵saying, ^(W)“Touch not my anointed ones,
    do my prophets no harm!”

¹⁶When he ^(X)summoned a famine on the land
    and ^(Y)broke all supply^[a] of bread,
¹⁷he had ^(Z)sent a man ahead of them,
    Joseph, who was ^(AA)sold as a slave.
¹⁸His ^(AB)feet were hurt with fetters;
    his neck was put in a collar of iron;
¹⁹until ^(AC)what he had said came to pass,
    the word of the Lord ^(AD)tested him.
²⁰^(AE)The king sent and ^(AF)released him;
    the ruler of the peoples set him free;
²¹he ^(AG)made him lord of his house
    and ruler of all his possessions,
²²to bind^[b] his princes at his pleasure
    and to teach his elders wisdom.

²³Then ^(AH)Israel came to Egypt;
    Jacob ^(AI)sojourned in ^(AJ)the land of Ham.
²⁴And the Lord ^(AK)made his people very fruitful
    and made them stronger than their foes.
²⁵He ^(AL)turned their hearts to hate his people,
    to ^(AM)deal craftily with his servants.
