Psalm 105:1–15

¹Give thanks to the Lord. 

Call on him. 

Make known among the nations what he has done. 

²Sing to him. 

Make music to praise him. 

Meditate on all the miracles he has performed. 

³Brag about his holy name. 

Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. 

⁴Search for the Lord and his strength. 

Always seek his presence. 

⁵Remember the miracles he performed, 

the amazing things he did, and the judgments he pronounced, 

⁶you descendants of his servant Abraham, 

you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones. 

⁷He is the Lord our God. 

His judgments are pronounced throughout the earth. 

⁸He always remembers his promise,^a

the word that he commanded for a thousand generations, 

⁹the promise that he made to Abraham, 

and his sworn oath to Isaac. 

¹⁰He confirmed it as a law for Jacob, 

as an everlasting promise to Israel, 

¹¹by saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan. 

It is your share of the inheritance.” 

¹²While the people of Israel were few in number, 

a small group of foreigners living in that land, 

¹³they wandered from nation to nation, 

from one kingdom to another. 

¹⁴He didn’t permit anyone to oppress them. 

He warned kings about them: 

¹⁵“Do not touch my anointed ones 

or harm my prophets.”
