Psalms 105

Listen to this chapter • 4:00

[1] 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 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.

[7] He is the LORD 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] Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;

[10] And confirmed the same unto Jacob for 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 brake the whole staff of bread.

[17] He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:

[18] Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:

[19] Until the time that his word came: 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 substance:

[22] To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators 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, to deal subtilly with his servants.

[26] He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.

[27] They shewed 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, in the chambers of their kings.

[31] He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.

[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 coasts.

[34] He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,

[35] And did eat 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 fell 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; they 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, and his chosen with gladness:

[44] And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;

[45] That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.
