Psalm 105:1–15

¹Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness.

Let the whole world know what he has done.

²Sing to him; yes, sing his praises.

Tell everyone about his wonderful deeds.

³Exult in his holy name;

rejoice, you who worship the Lord.

⁴Search for the Lord and for his strength;

continually seek him.

⁵Remember the wonders he has performed,

his miracles, and the rulings he has given,

⁶you children of his servant Abraham,

you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones.

⁷He is the Lord our God.

His justice is seen throughout the land.

⁸He always stands by his covenant—

the commitment he made to a thousand generations.

⁹This is the covenant he made with Abraham

and the oath he swore to Isaac.

¹⁰He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree,

and to the people of Israel as a never-ending covenant:

¹¹“I will give you the land of Canaan

as your special possession.”

¹²He said this when they were few in number,

a tiny group of strangers in Canaan.

¹³They wandered from nation to nation,

from one kingdom to another.

¹⁴Yet he did not let anyone oppress them.

He warned kings on their behalf:

¹⁵“Do not touch my chosen people,

and do not hurt my prophets.”
