[105:1] Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples!
[105:2] Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works!
[105:3] Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
[105:4] Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!
[105:5] Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered,
[105:6] O offspring of Abraham, his servant, children of Jacob, his chosen ones!
[105:7] He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
[105:8] He remembers his covenant forever, the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,
[105:9] the covenant that he made with Abraham, his sworn promise to Isaac,
[105:10] which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
[105:11] saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan as your portion for an inheritance.”
[105:12] When they were few in number, of little account, and sojourners in it,
[105:13] wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,
[105:14] he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their account,
[105:15] saying, “Touch not my anointed ones, do my prophets no harm!”
[105:16] When he summoned a famine on the land and broke all supply of bread,
[105:17] he had sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
[105:18] His feet were hurt with fetters; his neck was put in a collar of iron;
[105:19] until what he had said came to pass, the word of the Lord tested him.
[105:20] The king sent and released him; the ruler of the peoples set him free;
[105:21] he made him lord of his house and ruler of all his possessions,
[105:22] to bind his princes at his pleasure and to teach his elders wisdom.
[105:23] Then Israel came to Egypt; Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
[105:24] And the Lord made his people very fruitful and made them stronger than their foes.
[105:25] He turned their hearts to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants.
[105:26] He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
[105:27] They performed his signs among them and miracles in the land of Ham.
[105:28] He sent darkness, and made the land dark; they did not rebel against his words.
[105:29] He turned their waters into blood and caused their fish to die.
[105:30] Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the chambers of their kings.
[105:31] He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats throughout their country.
[105:32] He gave them hail for rain, and fiery lightning bolts through their land.
[105:33] He struck down their vines and fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country.
[105:34] He spoke, and the locusts came, young locusts without number,
[105:35] which devoured all the vegetation in their land and ate up the fruit of their ground.
[105:36] He struck down all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their strength.
[105:37] Then he brought out Israel with silver and gold, and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.
[105:38] Egypt was glad when they departed, for dread of them had fallen upon it.
[105:39] He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light by night.
[105:40] They asked, and he brought quail, and gave them bread from heaven in abundance.
[105:41] He opened the rock, and water gushed out; it flowed through the desert like a river.
[105:42] For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham, his servant.
[105:43] So he brought his people out with joy, his chosen ones with singing.
[105:44] And he gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples’ toil,
[105:45] that they might keep his statutes and observe his laws. Praise the Lord!
