THE BIBLE
Psalms
Chapter 105

105:1 Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name! Make his doings known among the peoples.
105:2 Sing to him, sing praises to him! Tell of all his marvelous works.
105:3 Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
105:4 Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
105:5 Remember his marvelous works that he has done; His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
105:6 You seed of Abraham, his servant, You children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
105:7 He is Yahweh, our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
105:8 He has remembered his covenant forever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
105:9 The covenant which he made with Abraham, His oath to Isaac,
105:10 And confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute; To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
105:11 Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;"
105:12 When they were but a few men in number, Yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
105:13 They went about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people.
105:14 He allowed no one to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
105:15 "Don't touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!"
105:16 He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies.
105:17 He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave.
105:18 They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons,
105:19 Until the time that his word happened, And Yahweh's word proved him true.
105:20 The king sent and freed him; Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
105:21 He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all of his possessions;
105:22 To discipline his princes at his pleasure, And to teach his elders wisdom.
105:23 Israel also came into Egypt. Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
105:24 He increased his people greatly, And made them stronger than their adversaries.
105:25 He turned their heart to hate his people, To conspire against his servants.
105:26 He sent Moses, his servant, And Aaron, whom he had chosen.
105:27 They performed miracles among them, And wonders in the land of Ham.
105:28 He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn't rebel against his words.
105:29 He turned their waters into blood, And killed their fish.
105:30 Their land swarmed with frogs, Even in the chambers of their kings.
105:31 He spoke, and swarms of flies came, And lice in all their borders.
105:32 He gave them hail for rain, With lightning in their land.
105:33 He struck their vines and also their fig trees, And shattered the trees of their country.
105:34 He spoke, and the locusts came, And the grasshoppers, without number,
105:35 Ate up every plant in their land; And ate up the fruit of their ground.
105:36 He struck also all the firstborn in their land, The first fruits of all their manhood.
105:37 He brought them forth with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person among his tribes.
105:38 Egypt was glad when they departed, For the fear of them had fallen on them.
105:39 He spread a cloud for a covering, Fire to give light in the night.
105:40 They asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of the sky.
105:41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places.
105:42 For he remembered his holy word, And Abraham, his servant.
105:43 He brought forth his people with joy, His chosen with singing.
105:44 He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession,
105:45 That they might keep his statutes, And observe his laws. Praise Yah!
