Psalm 105
NASB 1995
The LORD’S Wonderful Works in Behalf of Israel.

1Oh give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name;
            Make known His deeds among the peoples.

      2Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;
            Speak of all His wonders.

      3Glory in His holy name;
            Let the heart of those who seek the LORD be glad.

      4Seek the LORD and His strength;
            Seek His face continually.

      5Remember His wonders which He has done,
            His marvels and the judgments uttered by His mouth,

      6O seed of Abraham, His servant,
            O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!

      7He is the LORD our God;
            His judgments are in all the earth.

      8He has remembered His covenant forever,
            The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,

      9The covenant which He made with Abraham,
            And His oath to Isaac.

      10Then He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
            To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

      11Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan
            As the portion of your inheritance,”

      12When they were only a few men in number,
            Very few, and strangers in it.

      13And they wandered about from nation to nation,
            From one kingdom to another people.

      14He permitted no man to oppress them,
            And He reproved kings for their sakes:

      15“Do not touch My anointed ones,
            And do My prophets no harm.”

      16And He called for a famine upon the land;
            He broke the whole staff of bread.

      17He sent a man before them,
            Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

      18They afflicted his feet with fetters,
            He himself was laid in irons;

      19Until the time that his word came to pass,
            The word of the LORD tested him.

      20The king sent and released him,
            The ruler of peoples, and set him free.

      21He made him lord of his house
            And ruler over all his possessions,

      22To imprison his princes at will,
            That he might teach his elders wisdom.

      23Israel also came into Egypt;
            Thus Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

      24And He caused His people to be very fruitful,
            And made them stronger than their adversaries.

      25He turned their heart to hate His people,
            To deal craftily with His servants.

      26He sent Moses His servant,
            And Aaron, whom He had chosen.

      27They performed His wondrous acts among them,
            And miracles in the land of Ham.

      28He sent darkness and made it dark;
            And they did not rebel against His words.

      29He turned their waters into blood
            And caused their fish to die.

      30Their land swarmed with frogs
            Even in the chambers of their kings.

      31He spoke, and there came a swarm of flies
            And gnats in all their territory.

      32He gave them hail for rain,
            And flaming fire in their land.

      33He struck down their vines also and their fig trees,
            And shattered the trees of their territory.

      34He spoke, and locusts came,
            And young locusts, even without number,

      35And ate up all vegetation in their land,
            And ate up the fruit of their ground.

      36He also struck down all the firstborn in their land,
            The first fruits of all their vigor.

      37Then He brought them out with silver and gold,
            And among His tribes there was not one who stumbled.

      38Egypt was glad when they departed,
            For the dread of them had fallen upon them.

      39He spread a cloud for a covering,
            And fire to illumine by night.

      40They asked, and He brought quail,
            And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

      41He opened the rock and water flowed out;
            It ran in the dry places like a river.

      42For He remembered His holy word
            With Abraham His servant;

      43And He brought forth His people with joy,
            His chosen ones with a joyful shout.

      44He gave them also the lands of the nations,
            That they might take possession of the fruit of the peoples’ labor,

      45So that they might keep His statutes
            And observe His laws,
            Praise the LORD!
