Psalms 105
105
God’s Wonderful Works # 105 The first fifteen verses of this psalm were sung as the ark of glory was brought up to Jerusalem. See 2 Sam. 6; 1 Chron. 13–16.
1Go ahead and give God thanks
for all the glorious things he has done!
Go ahead and worship him!
Tell everyone about his wonders!
2Let’s sing his praises! Sing, and put all of his miracles to music!
3Shine and make your joyful boast in him, you lovers of God.
Let’s be happy and keep rejoicing no matter what.
4Seek more of his strength! Seek more of him!
Let’s always be seeking the light of his face.
5Don’t you ever forget his miracles and marvels.
Hold to your heart every judgment he has decreed.
6For you are his servants, the true seed of Abraham,
and you are the chosen ones, Jacob’s sons.
7For he is the Lord our God,
and his wise authority # 105:7 Or “judgments.” can be seen in all he does.
8-9For though a thousand generations may pass away,
he is still true to his word.
He has kept every promise # 105:8–9 Or “promise of the covenant [pact].” he made to Abraham and to Isaac.
10His promises have become an everlasting covenant to Jacob,
as a decree to Jacob.
11He said to them, “I will give you all the land of Canaan
as your inheritance.”
12They were very few in number
when God gave them that promise,
and they were all foreigners to that land.
13They were wandering from one land to another
and from one kingdom to another. # 105:13 Or “from a kingdom to another nation.”
14Yet God would not permit anyone to touch them,
punishing even kings who came against them.
15He said to them, “Don’t you dare lay a hand on my anointed ones,
and don’t do a thing to hurt my prophets!”
16So God decreed a famine upon Canaan-land,
cutting off their food supply.
17But he had already sent a man ahead of his people to Egypt;
it was Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18His feet were bruised by strong shackles
and his soul was held by iron.
19God’s promise to Joseph purged his character
until it was time for his dreams to come true.
20Eventually, the king of Egypt sent for him, setting him free at last.
21Then Joseph was put in charge of everything under the king;
he became the master of the palace
over all the royal possessions.
22Pharoah gave him authority over all the princes of the land,
and Joseph became the teacher of wisdom to the king’s advisers.
23Then Jacob, with all of Joseph’s family,
came from Canaan to Egypt and settled in Goshen. # 105:23 Or “lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham [Egypt].” Ham was a son of Noah.
24God made them very fruitful, and they multiplied incredibly
until they were greater in number than those who ruled them.
25God turned their hearts to hate his people
and to deal treacherously with his servants.
26But he sent them his faithful servant, Moses, the deliverer,
and chose Aaron to accompany him.
27Their command brought down signs and wonders,
working miracles in Egypt.
28By God’s direction, they spoke and released a plague
of thick darkness over the land.
29God turned their rivers to blood, causing every fish to die.
30And the judgment-plague of frogs came in enormous numbers,
swarming everywhere, even into Pharaoh’s bedroom!
31God spoke and another plague was released—
massive swarms of flies, vast clouds of insects, covered the land.
32God rained down hail and flaming fire upon Egypt.
33Their gardens and vines were all destroyed,
shattering trees into splinters throughout the territory.
34God spoke, and devouring hordes of locusts swept over the land,
35picking the ground clean of vegetation and crops.
36Then God struck down their firstborn sons,
the pride and joy # 105:36 Or “the beginning of all their strength.” of every Egyptian family.
37At last, God freed all the Hebrews from their slavery
and sent them away laden with the silver and gold of Egypt.
And not even one was feeble # 105:37 Or “Not one of his tribes was a pauper” or “Not one stumbled.” on their way out!
38Egypt was relieved at their exodus, ready to see them go,
for the terror of the Lord of the Hebrews had fallen upon them!
39God spread out a cloud as shade as they moved ahead
and a cloud of fire to light up their night.
40Moses prayed and God brought them quail to eat.
He satisfied them with heaven’s bread falling from the sky.
41He broke open the boulder
and the waters poured out like a river in the desert.
42For God could never forget
his holy promise to his servant Abraham.
43So God brought out his chosen ones with singing;
with a joyful shout they were set free!
44He gave them lands and nations, just like he promised.
Fruitful lands of crops they had never planted were now theirs.
45All this was done for them so that they would be faithful
to keep the ways of God, obeying his laws and following his truths.
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!

Tell His Wonders for Israel
1Praise Adonai, call upon His Name. Make known His deeds among the peoples.
2Sing to Him, sing praises to Him— tell about all His wonders!
3Glory in His holy Name. Let the heart of those who seek Adonai rejoice.
4Seek Adonai and His strength, seek His face always.
5Remember His wonders that He has done, His miracles and the judgments of His mouth,
6O seed of Abraham, His servant, O children of Jacob, His chosen ones.
7He is Adonai our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
8He remembers His covenant forever— the word He commanded for a thousand generations—
9which He made with Abraham, and swore to Isaac,
10and confirmed to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
11saying, “To you I give the land of Canaan, the portion of your inheritance.”
12When they were but few in number, few indeed, and foreigners in it,
13wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,
14He allowed no one to oppress them— for their sake He rebuked kings:
15“Touch not My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.”
16He called down a famine on the land. He broke the whole supply of bread.
17He sent a man before them— Joseph, sold as a slave.
18They hurt His feet with shackles, he was put in irons—
19till the time that his word came true— the word of Adonai proved him true!
20The king sent and released him. The ruler of the peoples set him free.
21He made him lord of his house, ruler over all his possessions,
22to discipline his princes at his will, and teach his elders wisdom.
23Then Israel came into Egypt, Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24He made His people very fruitful, and made them more numerous than their foes.
25He turned their hearts to hate His people, to deal shrewdly with His servants.
26He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.
27They performed His signs among them —miracles in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness, and it was dark, so they did not rebel against His words.
29He turned their waters into blood, causing their fish to die.
30Their land swarmed with frogs, even in their royal chambers.
31He spoke, and a swarm of gnats came within all their borders.
32He gave them a rain of hail, flames of fire throughout their land.
33He struck their vines and their fig trees and shattered the trees of their country.
34He spoke, and the locust came —young locusts without number—
35to eat up every green thing in their land and eat up the fruit of their ground.
36Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.
37Then He brought them out with silver and gold, and no one among His tribes faltered.
38Egypt was glad when they left— for dread of them had fallen on them.
39He spread a cloud as a covering and fire to give light at night.
40They asked, and He brought quail, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41He opened a rock, and waters gushed out, flowed as a river in dry places.
42For He remembered His holy word to Abraham His servant.
43So He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with singing.
44He gave them the lands of the nations, so they inherited the labor of the peoples
45so that they might keep His statutes and observe His laws. Halleluyah!
