Psalm 105

PSALM 105

Remember His Wondrous Deeds

¹Oh ^agive thanks to Yahweh, ^bcall upon His name;

^cMake known His acts among the peoples.

²Sing to Him, ^asing praises to Him;

^bMuse on all His wondrous deeds.

³Boast in His holy name;

Let the ^aheart of those who seek Yahweh be glad.

⁴Inquire of Yahweh and ^aHis strength;

^bSeek His face continually.

⁵Remember His ^awondrous deeds which He has done,

His miracles and the ^bjudgments ¹uttered by His mouth,

⁶O seed of ^aAbraham, His servant,

O sons of ^bJacob, His ^cchosen ones!

⁷He is Yahweh our God;

His ^ajudgments are in all the earth.

⁸He has ^aremembered His covenant forever,

The word which He commanded for a ^bthousand generations,

^9aWhich He cut with Abraham,

And His ^boath to Isaac.

¹⁰Then He ^aconfirmed it to Jacob for a statute,

To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

¹¹Saying, “^aTo you I will give the land of Canaan

As the ^1bportion of your inheritance,”

¹²When they were only a ^afew men in number,

Of little account, and ^bsojourners in it.

¹³And they wandered about from nation to nation,

From one kingdom to another people.

¹⁴He ^apermitted no man to oppress them,

And He ^breproved kings for their sakes:

¹⁵“^aDo not touch My anointed ones,

And to My prophets do no evil.”

¹⁶And He ^acalled for a famine upon the land;

He ^bbroke the whole staff of bread.

¹⁷He ^asent a man before them,

Joseph, who was ^bsold as a slave.

¹⁸They afflicted his ^afeet with fetters,

¹He himself was laid in irons;

¹⁹Until the time that his ^aword came to pass,

The word of Yahweh ^brefined him.

²⁰The ^aking sent and released him,

The ruler of peoples sent and set him free.

²¹He ^aset him up as lord of his house

And ruler over all his possessions,

²²To ¹imprison his princes ^2aat will,

And that he might teach his elders wisdom.

^23aThen Israel came to Egypt;

And Jacob ^bsojourned in the land of Ham.

²⁴And He ^acaused His people to be very fruitful,

And He caused them to be stronger than their adversaries.

²⁵He ^aturned their heart to hate His people,

To ^bdeal craftily with His slaves.

²⁶He ^asent Moses His servant,

And ^bAaron, whom He had chosen.

²⁷They ^aset forth the words of His signs among them,

And miracles in the land of Ham.

²⁸He ^asent darkness and made it dark;

And they did not ^brebel against His words.

²⁹He ^aturned their waters into blood

And caused their fish to die.

³⁰Their land swarmed with ^afrogs

Even in the ^bchambers of their kings.

³¹He spoke, and there came a ^aswarm of flies

And ^bgnats in all their territory.

³²He ¹gave them ^ahail for rain,

And flaming fire in their land.

³³He also ^astruck down their vines and their fig trees,

And He shattered the trees of their territory.

³⁴He spoke, and ^alocusts came,

And creeping locusts, without number,

³⁵And ¹they ate up all vegetation in their land,

And ²they ate up the fruit of their ground.

³⁶He also ^astruck down all the firstborn in their land,

The ^bfirst of all their vigor.

³⁷Then He brought them out with ^asilver and gold,

And there was none among His tribes who stumbled.

³⁸Egypt was ^aglad when they went out,

For the ^bdread of them had fallen upon them.

³⁹He spread a ^acloud for a ¹covering,

And ^bfire to give light by night.

⁴⁰¹They ^aasked, and He brought ^bquail,

And He satisfied them with the ^2cbread of heaven.

⁴¹He opened the ¹rock and ^awater flowed out;

²It ran in the dry places like a river.

⁴²For He ^aremembered His holy word

With Abraham His servant;

⁴³And He brought His people out with joy,

His chosen ones with a shout of ^ajoy.

⁴⁴He ^agave them also the lands of the ¹nations,

That they ^bmight take possession of the fruit of the peoples’ labor,

⁴⁵So that they might ^akeep His statutes

And observe His laws,

¹Praise Yah!
