Psalm 105

God’s Faithfulness to Israel

O give thanks to the Lord; call on his name;
    make known his deeds among the peoples.(A)
Sing to him, sing praises to him;
    tell of all his wonderful works.(B)
Glory in his holy name;
    let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.(C)
Seek the Lord and his strength;
    seek his presence continually.(D)
Remember the wonderful works he has done,
    his miracles and the judgments he has uttered,(E)
O offspring of his servant Abraham,[a]
    children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

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

43 So he brought his people out with joy,
    his chosen ones with singing.

    and they took possession of the wealth of the peoples,(A)
45 that they might keep his statutes
    and observe his laws.
Praise the Lord!(B)
