Psalm 105:17–43

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 the Lord ^1btested him.

²⁰The ^aking sent and released him,

The ruler of peoples, and set him free.

²¹He ^amade him lord of his house

And ruler over all his possessions,

²²To ¹imprison his princes ^2aat will,

That he might teach his elders wisdom.

^23aIsrael also came into Egypt;

Thus Jacob ^bsojourned in the land of Ham.

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

And made them stronger than their adversaries.

²⁵He ^aturned their heart to hate His people,

To ^bdeal craftily with His servants.

²⁶He ^asent Moses His servant,

And ^bAaron, whom He had chosen.

²⁷They ^1aperformed His wondrous acts 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 ^astruck down their vines also and their fig trees,

And shattered the trees of their territory.

³⁴He spoke, and ^alocusts came,

And young locusts, even without number,

³⁵And ate up all vegetation in their land,

And ate up the fruit of their ground.

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

The ^bfirst fruits of all their vigor.

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

And among His tribes there was not one who stumbled.

³⁸Egypt was ^aglad when they departed,

For the ^bdread of them had fallen upon them.

³⁹He spread a ^acloud for a ¹covering,

And ^bfire to illumine by night.

⁴⁰¹They ^aasked, and He brought ^bquail,

And 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 forth His people with joy,

His chosen ones with a joyful ^ashout.
