Psalm 105:16-36

English Standard Version

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

²³ Then ^(K)Israel came to Egypt;
    Jacob ^(L)sojourned in ^(M)the land of Ham.
²⁴ And the Lord ^(N)made his people very fruitful
    and made them stronger than their foes.
²⁵ He ^(O)turned their hearts to hate his people,
    to ^(P)deal craftily with his servants.

²⁶ He ^(Q)sent Moses, his servant,
    and Aaron, ^(R)whom he had chosen.
^27 (S)They performed his signs among them
    and miracles in ^(T)the land of Ham.
²⁸ He ^(U)sent darkness, and made the land dark;
    they ^(V)did not rebel^[c] against his words.
²⁹ He turned their waters into blood
    and ^(W)caused their fish to die.
³⁰ Their land swarmed with frogs,
    even in ^(X)the chambers of their kings.
³¹ He spoke, and there came ^(Y)swarms of flies,
    ^(Z)and gnats throughout their country.
³² He gave them hail for rain,
    and fiery ^(AA)lightning bolts through their land.
³³ He struck down their vines and fig trees,
    and ^(AB)shattered the trees of their country.
³⁴ He spoke, and the ^(AC)locusts came,
    young locusts without number,
³⁵ which devoured all the vegetation in their land
    and ate up the fruit of their ground.
³⁶ He ^(AD)struck down all the firstborn in their land,
    ^(AE)the firstfruits of all their strength.
