Psalm 105

God’s Faithfulness to Israel

1 # 1 Chr 16.8; Ps 145.12 O give thanks to the Lord; call on his name;

make known his deeds among the peoples.

2 # Ps 77.12 Sing to him, sing praises to him;

tell of all his wonderful works.

3 # Ps 33.21 Glory in his holy name;

let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.

4 # Ps 27.8 Seek the Lord and his strength;

seek his presence continually.

5 # Ps 77.11 Remember the wonderful works he has done,

his miracles and the judgments he has uttered,

6O offspring of his servant Abraham,#105.6 Or Israel

children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

7 # Isa 26.9 He is the Lord our God;

his judgments are in all the earth.

8He is mindful of his covenant forever,

of the word that he commanded for a thousand generations,

9 # Gen 17.2 the covenant that he made with Abraham,

his sworn promise to Isaac,

10 # Gen 28.13–15 which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute,

to Israel as an everlasting covenant,

11 # Gen 13.15; 15.18 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan

as your portion for an inheritance.”

12 # Gen 34.30; Heb 11.9 When they were few in number,

of little account and strangers in it,

13wandering from nation to nation,

from one kingdom to another people,

14 # Gen 12.17; 35.5 he allowed no one to oppress them;

he rebuked kings on their account,

15saying, “Do not touch my anointed ones;

do my prophets no harm.”

16 # Lev 26.26; Isa 3.1; Ezek 4.16 When he summoned famine against the land

and cut off every supply of bread,#105.16 Heb staff of bread

17 # Gen 37.28, 36; 45.5 he had sent a man ahead of them,

Joseph, who had been sold as a slave.

18 # Gen 39.20 His feet were hurt with fetters;

his neck was put in a collar of iron;

19 # Gen 40.20, 21 until what he had said came to pass,

the word of the Lord kept testing him.

20 # Gen 41.14 The king sent and released him;

the ruler of the peoples set him free.

21 # Gen 41.40 He made him lord of his house

and ruler of all his possessions,

22to instruct#105.22 Gk Syr Jerome: Heb to bind his officials at his pleasure

and to teach his elders wisdom.

23 # Gen 46.6; Acts 13.17 Then Israel came to Egypt;

Jacob lived as an alien in the land of Ham.

24 # Ex 1.7 And the Lord made his people very fruitful

and made them stronger than their foes,

25 # Ex 1.8, 10 whose hearts he then turned to hate his people,

to deal craftily with his servants.

26 # Ex 3.10; Num 16.5 He sent his servant Moses

and Aaron, whom he had chosen.

27 # Ex 7—12; Ps 78.43 They performed his signs among them

and miracles in the land of Ham.

28 # Ex 10.22; Ps 99.7 He sent darkness and made the land dark;

they rebelled#105.28 Cn Compare Gk Syr: Heb they did not rebel against his words.

29 # Ex 7.20 He turned their waters into blood

and caused their fish to die.

30 # Ex 8.6 Their land swarmed with frogs,

even in the chambers of their kings.

31 # Ex 8.16, 21 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies

and gnats throughout their country.

32 # Ex 9.23 He gave them hail for rain

and lightning that flashed through their land.

33He struck their vines and fig trees

and shattered the trees of their country.

34 # Ex 10.4; Ps 78.46 He spoke, and the locusts came,

and young locusts without number;

35they devoured all the vegetation in their land

and ate up the fruit of their ground.

36 # Ex 12.29; Ps 78.51 He struck down all the firstborn in their land,

the first issue of all their strength.

37 # Ex 12.35 Then he brought Israel#105.37 Heb them out with silver and gold,

and there was no one among their tribes who stumbled.

38 # Ex 12.33 Egypt was glad when they departed,

for dread of them had fallen upon it.

39 # Ex 13.21 He spread a cloud for a covering

and fire to give light by night.

40 # Ex 16.12ff; Ps 78.24ff They asked, and he brought quails

and gave them food from heaven in abundance.

41 # Ex 17.6; 1 Cor 10.4 He opened the rock, and water gushed out;

it flowed through the desert like a river.

42 # v 8 For he remembered his holy promise

and Abraham, his servant.

43So he brought his people out with joy,

his chosen ones with singing.

44 # Josh 13.7 He gave them the lands of the nations,

and they took possession of the wealth of the peoples,

45 # Deut 6.21–25 that they might keep his statutes

and observe his laws.

Praise the Lord!
