Psalms 105 — A Hymn Recalling God's Covenant Faithfulness

1Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known among the peoples his doings.💡

2Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; Talk ye of all his marvelous works.💡

3Glory ye in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.💡

4Seek ye Jehovah and his strength; Seek his face evermore.💡

5Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,💡

6O ye seed of Abraham his servant, Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.💡

7He is Jehovah our God: His judgments are in all the earth.💡

8He hath remembered his covenant for ever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,💡

9The covenant which he made with Abraham, And his oath unto Isaac,💡

10And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,💡

11Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;💡

12When they were but a few men in number, Yea, very few, and sojourners in it.💡

13And they went about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people.💡

14He suffered no man to do them wrong; Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,💡

15Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones, And do my prophets no harm.💡

16And he called for a famine upon the land; He brake the whole staff of bread.💡

17He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant:💡

18His feet they hurt with fetters: He was laid in chains of iron,💡

19Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of Jehovah tried him.💡

20The king sent and loosed him; Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.💡

21He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all his substance;💡

22To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his elders wisdom.💡

23Israel also came into Egypt; And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.💡

24And he increased his people greatly, And made them stronger than their adversaries.💡

25He turned their heart to hate his people, To deal subtly with his servants.💡

26He sent Moses his servant, And Aaron whom he had chosen.💡

27They set among them his signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.💡

28He sent darkness, and made it dark; And they rebelled not against his words.💡

29He turned their waters into blood, And slew their fish.💡

30Their land swarmed with frogs In the chambers of their kings.💡

31He spake, and there came swarms of flies, And lice in all their borders.💡

32He gave them hail for rain, And flaming fire in their land.💡

33He smote their vines also and their fig-trees, And brake the trees of their borders.💡

34He spake, and the locust came, And the grasshopper, and that without number,💡

35And did eat up every herb in their land, And did eat up the fruit of their ground.💡

36He smote also all the first-born in their land, The chief of all their strength.💡

37And he brought them forth with silver and gold; And there was not one feeble person among his tribes.💡

38Egypt was glad when they departed; For the fear of them had fallen upon them.💡

39He spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to give light in the night.💡

40They asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.💡

41He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; They ran in the dry places like a river.💡

42For he remembered his holy word, And Abraham his servant.💡

43And he brought forth his people with joy, And his chosen with singing.💡

44And he gave them the lands of the nations; And they took the labor of the peoples in possession:💡

45That they might keep his statutes, And observe his laws. Praise ye Jehovah.💡
