Psalm 105:1-6

Psalm 105

God’s Faithfulness to Israel

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

Psalm 105:23-26

23 Then Israel came to Egypt;
    Jacob lived as an alien in the land of Ham.(A)
24 And the Lord made his people very fruitful
    and made them stronger than their foes,(B)
25 whose hearts he then turned to hate his people,
    to deal craftily with his servants.(C)

26 He sent his servant Moses
    and Aaron, whom he had chosen.(D)

Psalm 105:45

45 that they might keep his statutes
    and observe his laws.
Praise the Lord!(A)

Exodus 2:23-24

23 After a long time the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned under their slavery and cried out. Their cry for help rose up to God from their slavery.(A) 24 God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.(B)

Ephesians 5:1-6

5 1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children,(A) 2 and walk in love, as Christ loved us[a] and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.(B)

Renounce Pagan Ways

3 But sexual immorality and impurity of any kind or greed must not even be mentioned among you, as is proper among saints.(C) 4 Entirely out of place is obscene, silly, and vulgar talk; but instead, let there be thanksgiving. 5 Be sure of this, that no sexually immoral or impure person or one who is greedy (that is, an idolater) has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.(D)

6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes on those who are disobedient.[b](E)
