Psalm 105 (English Standard Version)

Psalm 105

Tell of All His Wonderful Works

 ^1(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.

 ²⁶He^(AN) sent Moses, his servant,
   and Aaron,^(AO) whom he had chosen.
^27(AP) They performed his signs among them
   and miracles in^(AQ) the land of Ham.
²⁸He^(AR) sent darkness, and made the land dark;
   they^(AS) did not rebel^[c] against his words.
²⁹He turned their waters into blood
   and^(AT) caused their fish to die.
³⁰Their land swarmed with frogs,
   even in^(AU) the chambers of their kings.
³¹He spoke, and there came^(AV) swarms of flies,
   ^(AW) and gnats throughout their country.
³²He gave them hail for rain,
   and fiery^(AX) lightning bolts through their land.
³³He struck down their vines and fig trees,
   and^(AY) shattered the trees of their country.
³⁴He spoke, and the^(AZ) locusts came,
   young locusts without number,
³⁵which devoured all the vegetation in their land
   and ate up the fruit of their ground.
³⁶He^(BA) struck down all the firstborn in their land,
   the firstfruits of all their strength.

 ³⁷Then he brought out Israel with^(BB) silver and gold,
   and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.
^38(BC) Egypt was glad when they departed,
   for^(BD) dread of them had fallen upon it.

 ³⁹He^(BE) spread a cloud for a covering,
   and fire to give light by night.
^40(BF) They asked, and he^(BG) brought quail,
   and gave them^(BH) bread from heaven in abundance.
⁴¹He opened the rock, and^(BI) water gushed out;
   it flowed through^(BJ) the desert like a river.
⁴²For he^(BK) remembered his holy promise,
   and^(BL) Abraham, his servant.

 ⁴³So he brought his people out with joy,
   his^(BM) chosen ones with^(BN) singing.
⁴⁴And he^(BO) gave them the lands of the nations,
   and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples’ toil,
⁴⁵that they might^(BP) keep his statutes
   and^(BQ) observe his laws.
^(BR) Praise the LORD!
