Psalm 105:27–45

²⁷They wrought his signs among them,

and miracles in the land of Ham.

²⁸He sent darkness, and made the land dark;

they rebelled against his words.

²⁹He turned their waters into blood,

and caused their fish to die.

³⁰Their land swarmed with frogs,

even in the chambers of their kings.

³¹He spoke, and there came swarms of flies,

and gnats throughout their country.

³²He gave them hail for rain,

and lightning that flashed through their land.

³³He smote their vines and fig trees,

and shattered the trees of their country.

³⁴He spoke, and the locusts came,

and young locusts without number;

³⁵which devoured all the vegetation in their land,

and ate up the fruit of their ground.

³⁶He smote all the first-born in their land,

the first issue of all their strength.

³⁷Then he led forth Israel with silver and gold,

and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.

³⁸Egypt was glad when they departed,

for dread of them had fallen upon it.

³⁹He spread a cloud for a covering,

and fire to give light by night.

⁴⁰They asked, and he brought quails,

and gave them bread from heaven in abundance.

⁴¹He opened the rock, and water gushed forth;

it flowed through the desert like a river.

⁴²For he remembered his holy promise,

and Abraham his servant.

⁴³So he led forth his people with joy,

his chosen ones with singing.

⁴⁴And he gave them the lands of the nations;

and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples’ toil,

⁴⁵to the end that they should keep his statutes,

and observe his laws.

Praise the Lord!
