Psalm 105:1–15

God and His People

105Give thanks to the Lord, proclaim his greatness;

tell the nations what he has done.

²Sing praise to the Lord;

tell of the wonderful things he has done.

³Be glad that we belong to him; let all who worship him rejoice.

⁴Go to the Lord for help;

and worship him continually.

^5–6You descendants of Abraham, his servant;

you descendants of Jacob, the man he chose:

remember the miracles that God performed

and the judgements that he gave.

⁷The Lord is our God;

his commands are for all the world.

⁸He will keep his covenant for ever, his promises for a thousand generations.

^9*He will keep the agreement he made with Abraham

and his promise to Isaac.

^10*The Lord made a covenant with Jacob,

one that will last for ever.

^11*“I will give you the land of Canaan,” he said.

“It will be your own possession.”

¹²God’s people were few in number,

strangers in the land of Canaan.

¹³They wandered from country to country,

from one kingdom to another.

^14*But God let no one oppress them;

to protect them, he warned the kings:

^15*“Don’t harm my chosen servants;

do not touch my prophets.”
