104:35May sinners disappear43 from the earth,

and the wicked vanish!

Praise the Lord, O my soul!

Praise the Lord!

Psalm 10544

105:1Give thanks to the Lord!

Call on his name!

Make known his accomplishments among the nations!

105:2Sing to him!

Make music to him!

Tell about all his miraculous deeds!

105:3Boast about his holy name!

Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!

105:4Seek the Lord and the strength he gives!

Seek his presence continually!

105:5Recall the miraculous deeds he performed,

his mighty acts and the judgments he decreed,1

105:6O children2 of Abraham,3 God’s4 servant,

you descendants5 of Jacob, God’s6 chosen ones!

105:7He is the Lord our God;

he carries out judgment throughout the earth.7

105:8He always remembers his covenantal decree,

the promise he made8 to a thousand generations—

105:9the promise9 he made to Abraham,

the promise he made by oath to Isaac!

105:10He gave it to Jacob as a decree,

to Israel as a lasting promise,10

105:11saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan

as the portion of your inheritance.”

105:12When they were few in number,

just a very few, and resident aliens within it,

105:13they wandered from nation to nation,

and from one kingdom to another.11

105:14He let no one oppress them;

he disciplined kings for their sake,

105:15saying,12 “Don’t touch my chosen13 ones!

Don’t harm my prophets!”
