Psalm 105
21st Century King James Version
105 O give thanks unto the Lord, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the people.
2 Sing unto Him, sing psalms unto Him; talk ye of all His wondrous works.
3 Glory ye in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
4 Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His face evermore.
5 Remember His marvelous works that He hath done, His wonders and the judgments of His mouth,
6 O ye seed of Abraham, His servant, ye children of Jacob, His chosen.
7 He is the Lord our God; His judgments are over all the earth.
8 He hath remembered His covenant for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations,
9 which covenant He made with Abraham, and His oath unto Isaac,
10 and confirmed the same unto Jacob as a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
11 saying, “Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance,”
12 when they were but a few men in number, yea, very few and strangers in it.
13 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people,
14 He suffered no man to do them wrong; yea, He reproved kings for their sakes,
15 saying, “Touch not Mine anointed, and do My prophets no harm.”
16 Moreover He called for a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.
17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph who was sold as a servant,
18 whose feet they hurt with fetters; he was laid in irons.
19 Until the time when his word came to pass, the word of the Lord tried him.
20 The king sent and loosed him, even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
21 He made him lord of his house and ruler of all his possessions,
22 to command his princes at his pleasure and teach his elders wisdom.
23 Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 And He increased His people greatly, and made them stronger than their enemies.
25 He turned their heart to hate His people and to deal subtly with His servants.
26 He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron whom He had chosen.
27 They showed His signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness and made it dark, and they rebelled not against His word.
29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, even in the chambers of their kings.
31 He spoke and there came divers sorts of flies and lice in all their borders.
32 He gave them hail for rain and flaming fire in their land.
33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees, and broke the trees of their borders.
34 He spoke and the locusts came, and caterpillars without number,
35 and they ate up all the herbs in their land and devoured the fruit of their ground.
36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold, and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen upon them.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering and fire to give light in the night.
40 The people asked, and He brought quails and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 He opened the rock and the waters gushed out, and ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For He remembered His holy promise and Abraham His servant.
43 And He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen with gladness,
44 and gave them the lands of the heathen; and they inherited the labor of the people,
45 that they might observe His statutes and keep His laws. Praise ye the Lord!
Psalm 105
American Standard Version
Jehovah’s wonderful works in behalf of Israel.
105 Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name;
Make known among the peoples his doings.
2 Sing unto him, sing praises unto him;
[a]Talk ye of all his marvellous works.
3 Glory ye in his holy name:
Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
4 Seek ye Jehovah and his strength;
Seek his face evermore.
5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done,
His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant,
Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7 He is Jehovah our God:
His judgments are in all the earth.
8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever,
The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
9 The covenant which he made with Abraham,
And his oath unto Isaac,
10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute,
To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,
The [b]lot of your inheritance;
12 When they were but a few men in number,
Yea, very few, and sojourners in it.
13 And they went about from nation to nation,
From one kingdom to another people.
14 He suffered no man to do them wrong;
Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones,
And do my prophets no harm.
16 And he called for a famine upon the land;
He brake the whole staff of bread.
17 He sent a man before them;
Joseph was sold for a servant:
18 His feet they hurt with fetters:
[c]He was laid in chains of iron,
19 Until the time that his word came to pass,
The word of Jehovah tried him.
20 The king sent and loosed him;
Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
21 He made him lord of his house,
And ruler of all his substance;
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure,
And teach his elders wisdom.
23 Israel also came into Egypt;
And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 And he increased his people greatly,
And made them stronger than their adversaries.
25 He turned their heart to hate his people,
To deal subtly with his servants.
26 He sent Moses his servant,
And Aaron whom he had chosen.
27 They set among them [d]his signs,
And wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark;
And they rebelled not against his words.
29 He turned their waters into blood,
And slew their fish.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs
In the chambers of their kings.
31 He spake, and there came swarms of flies,
And lice in all their borders.
32 He gave them hail for rain,
And flaming fire in their land.
33 He smote their vines also and their fig-trees,
And brake the trees of their borders.
34 He spake, and the locust came,
And the grasshopper, and that without number,
35 And did eat up every herb in their land,
And did eat up the fruit of their ground.
36 He smote also all the first-born in their land,
The [e]chief of all their strength.
37 And he brought them forth with silver and gold;
And there was [f]not one feeble person among his tribes.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed;
For the fear of them had fallen upon them.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering,
And fire to give light in the night.
40 They asked, and he brought quails,
And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out;
They ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For he remembered his holy word,
And Abraham his servant.
43 And he brought forth his people with joy,
And his chosen with singing.
44 And he gave them the lands of the nations;
And they took the labor of the peoples in possession:
45 That they might keep his statutes,
And observe his laws.
[g]Praise ye Jehovah.

96 O sing unto the Lord a new song; sing unto the Lord, all the earth.
2 Sing unto the Lord, bless His name; show forth His salvation from day to day.
3 Declare His glory among the heathen, His wonders among all people.
4 For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Honor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
7 Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people; give unto the Lord glory and strength.
8 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name; bring an offering, and come into His courts.
9 O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; fear before Him, all the earth.
10 Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth; the world also shall be established, that it shall not be moved; He shall judge the people righteously.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof.
12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein; then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
13 before the Lord. For He cometh, for He cometh to judge the earth; He shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with His truth.

Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth.

Show forth his salvation from day to day.
3 Declare his glory among the nations,
His marvellous works among all the peoples.
4 For great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised:
He is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the peoples are [a]idols;
But Jehovah made the heavens.
6 Honor and majesty are before him:
Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye kindreds of the peoples,
Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength.
8 Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name:
Bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9 Oh worship Jehovah [b]in holy array:
Tremble before him, all the earth.
10 Say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth:
The world also is established that it cannot be moved:
He will judge the peoples with equity.
11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;
12 Let the field exult, and all that is therein;
Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy
13 Before Jehovah; for he cometh,
For he cometh to judge the earth:
He will judge the world with righteousness,
And the peoples [c]with his truth.

21st Century King James Version
7 Then on that day David delivered first this psalm, to thank the Lord, into the hand of Asaph and his brethren:
8 Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the people.
9 Sing unto Him, sing psalms unto Him; talk ye of all His wondrous works.
10 Glory ye in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
11 Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His face continually.
12 Remember His marvelous works that He hath done, His wonders and the judgments of His mouth,
13 O ye seed of Israel His servant, ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones!
14 He is the Lord our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
15 Be ye mindful always of His covenant, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations,
16 even of the covenant which He made with Abraham, and of His oath unto Isaac;
17 and hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
18 saying, “Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance,”
19 when ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.
20 And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people,
21 He suffered no man do them wrong; yea, He reproved kings for their sakes,
22 saying, “Touch not Mine anointed, and do My prophets no harm.”
23 Sing unto the Lord, all the earth; show forth from day to day His salvation.
24 Declare His glory among the heathen, His marvelous works among all nations.
25 For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; He also is to be feared above all gods.
26 For all the gods of the people are idols; but the Lord made the heavens.
27 Glory and honor are in His presence; strength and gladness are in His place.
28 Give unto the Lord, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength.
29 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name; bring an offering, and come before Him; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
30 Fear before Him, all the earth! The world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; and let men say among the nations, “The Lord reigneth.”
32 Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof; let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.
33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the Lord, because He cometh to judge the earth.
34 O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.
35 And say ye, “Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to Thy holy name, and glory in Thy praise.”
36 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for ever and ever! And all the people said, “Amen,” and praised the Lord.
