Psalm 104:35–105:45

³⁵May ^bsinners be consumed from the earth,

And the wicked be no more.

Bless the Lord, O my soul!

⁷Praise the Lord!

Psalm 105

¹Oh, ^agive thanks to the Lord!

Call upon His name;

^bMake known His deeds among the peoples!

²Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him;

^cTalk of all His wondrous works!

³Glory in His holy name;

Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord!

⁴Seek the Lord and His strength;

^dSeek His face evermore!

^5eRemember His marvelous works which He has done,

His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,

⁶O seed of Abraham His servant,

You children of Jacob, His chosen ones!

⁷He is the Lord our God;

^fHis judgments are in all the earth.

⁸He ^gremembers His covenant forever,

The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations,

^9hThe covenant which He made with Abraham,

And His oath to Isaac,

¹⁰And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,

To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

¹¹Saying, ⁱ“To you I will give the land of Canaan

As the allotment of your inheritance,”

^12jWhen they were few in number,

Indeed very few, ^kand strangers in it.

¹³When they went from one nation to another,

From one kingdom to another people,

^14lHe permitted no one to do them wrong;

Yes, ^mHe rebuked kings for their sakes,

¹⁵Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones,

And do My prophets no harm.”

¹⁶Moreover ⁿHe called for a famine in the land;

He destroyed all the ^oprovision of bread.

^17pHe sent a man before them—

Joseph—who ^qwas sold as a slave.

^18rThey hurt his feet with fetters,

¹He was laid in irons.

¹⁹Until the time that his word came to pass,

^sThe word of the Lord tested him.

^20tThe king sent and released him,

The ruler of the people let him go free.

^21uHe made him lord of his house,

And ruler of all his possessions,

²²To ²bind his princes at his pleasure,

And teach his elders wisdom.

^23vIsrael also came into Egypt,

And Jacob dwelt ^win the land of Ham.

^24xHe increased His people greatly,

And made them stronger than their enemies.

^25yHe turned their heart to hate His people,

To deal craftily with His servants.

^26zHe sent Moses His servant,

And Aaron whom He had chosen.

²⁷They ^aperformed His signs among them,

And wonders in the land of Ham.

²⁸He sent darkness, and made it dark;

And they did not rebel against His word.

^29bHe turned their waters into blood,

And killed their fish.

^30cTheir land abounded with frogs,

Even in the chambers of their kings.

^31dHe spoke, and there came swarms of flies,

And lice in all their territory.

^32eHe gave them hail for rain,

And flaming fire in their land.

^33fHe struck their vines also, and their fig trees,

And splintered the trees of their territory.

^34gHe spoke, and locusts came,

Young locusts without number,

³⁵And ate up all the vegetation in their land,

And devoured the fruit of their ground.

^36hHe also ³destroyed all the firstborn in their land,

ⁱThe first of all their strength.

^37jHe also brought them out with silver and gold,

And there was none feeble among His tribes.

^38kEgypt was glad when they departed,

For the fear of them had fallen upon them.

^39lHe spread a cloud for a covering,

And fire to give light in the night.

^40mThe people asked, and He brought quail,

And ⁿsatisfied them with the bread of heaven.

^41oHe opened the rock, and water gushed out;

It ran in the dry places like a river.

⁴²For He remembered ^pHis holy promise,

And Abraham His servant.

⁴³He brought out His people with joy,

His chosen ones with ⁴gladness.

^44qHe gave them the lands of the ⁵Gentiles,

And they inherited the labor of the nations,

^45rThat they might observe His statutes

And keep His laws.

⁶Praise the Lord!
