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!

Psalm 105
1Give praise to the Lord and announce who he is.
Tell the nations what he has done.
2Sing to him, sing praise to him.
Tell about all the wonderful things he has done.
3Praise him, because his name is holy.
Let the hearts of those who trust in the Lord be glad.
4Seek the Lord and the strength he gives.
Always seek him.
5Remember the wonderful things he has done.
Remember his miracles and how he judged our enemies.
6Remember what he has done, you children of his servant Abraham.
Remember it, you people of Jacob, God’s chosen ones.
7He is the Lord our God.
He judges the whole earth.
8He will keep his covenant forever.
He will keep his promise for all time to come.
9He will keep the covenant he made with Abraham.
He will keep the promise he made to Isaac.
10He made it stand as a law for Jacob.
He made it stand as a covenant for Israel that will last forever.
11He said, “I will give you the land of Canaan.
It will belong to you.”
12At first there weren’t very many of God’s people.
There were only a few, and they were strangers in the land.
13They wandered from nation to nation.
They wandered from one kingdom to another.
14But God didn’t allow anyone to treat them badly.
To keep them safe, he gave a command to kings.
15He said to them, “Do not touch my anointed ones.
Do not harm my prophets.”
16He made the people in the land go hungry.
He destroyed all their food supplies.
17He sent a man ahead of them into Egypt.
That man was Joseph. He had been sold as a slave.
18The Egyptians put his feet in chains.
They put an iron collar around his neck.
19He was in prison until what he said would happen came true.
The word of the Lord proved that he was right.
20The king of Egypt sent for Joseph and let him out of prison.
The ruler of many nations set him free.
21He put Joseph in charge of his palace.
He made him ruler over everything he owned.
22Joseph was in charge of teaching the princes.
He taught the elders how to think and live wisely.
23Then the rest of Jacob’s family went to Egypt.
The people of Israel lived as outsiders in the land of Ham.
24The Lord gave his people so many children
that there were too many of them for their enemies.
25He made the Egyptians hate his people.
The Egyptians made evil plans against them.
26The Lord sent his servant Moses to the king of Egypt.
He sent Aaron, his chosen one, along with him.
27The Lord gave them the power to do signs among the Egyptians.
They did his wonders in the land of Ham.
28The Lord sent darkness over the land.
He did it because the Egyptians had refused to obey his words.
29He turned their rivers and streams into blood.
He caused the fish in them to die.
30Their land was covered with frogs.
Frogs even went into the bedrooms of the rulers.
31The Lord spoke, and large numbers of flies came.
Gnats filled the whole country.
32He turned their rain into hail.
Lightning flashed all through their land.
33He destroyed their vines and fig trees.
He broke down the trees in Egypt.
34He spoke, and the locusts came.
There were so many of them they couldn’t be counted.
35They ate up every green thing in the land.
They ate up what the land produced.
36Then he killed the oldest son of every family in Egypt.
He struck down the oldest of all their sons.
37He brought the people of Israel out of Egypt.
The Egyptians loaded them down with silver and gold.
From among the tribes of Israel no one got tired or fell down.
38The Egyptians were glad when the people of Israel left.
They were terrified because of Israel.
39The Lord spread out a cloud to cover his people.
He gave them a fire to light up the night.
40They asked for meat, and he brought them quail.
He fed them well with manna, the bread of heaven.
41He broke open a rock, and streams of water poured out.
They flowed like a river in the desert.
42He remembered the holy promise
he had made to his servant Abraham.
43His chosen people shouted for joy
as he brought them out of Egypt.
44He gave them the lands of other nations.
He let them take over what others had worked for.
45He did it so they might obey his rules
and follow his laws.
Praise the Lord.
