105:1
Give thanks to the LORD, proclaim his greatness;
tell the nations what he has done. |
105:2
Sing praise to the LORD; tell the wonderful things he has done. |
105:3
Be glad that we belong to him; let all who worship him rejoice. |
105:4
Go to the LORD for help; and worship him continually. |
105:5
You descendants of Abraham, his servant; you descendants of Jacob, the man he
chose: remember the miracles that God performed and the judgments that he
gave. |
105:6
(SEE 105:5) |
105:7
The LORD is our God; his commands are for all the
world. |
105:8
He will keep his covenant forever, his promises for a thousand generations. |
105:9
He will keep the agreement he made with Abraham and his promise to Isaac. |
105:10
The LORD made a covenant with Jacob, one that will last forever. |
105:11
"I will give you the land of Canaan," he said. "It will be
your own possession." |
105:12
God's people were few in number, strangers in the land of Canaan. |
105:13
They wandered from country to country, from one kingdom to another. |
105:14
But God let no one oppress them; to protect them, he warned the kings: |
105:15
"Don't harm my chosen servants; do not touch my prophets." |
105:16
The LORD sent famine to their country and took away all their food. |
105:17
But he sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, who had been sold as a slave. |
105:18
His feet were kept in chains, and an iron collar was around his neck, |
105:19
until what he had predicted came true. The word of the LORD proved him right.
|
105:20
Then the king of Egypt had him released; the ruler of nations set him free. |
105:21
He put him in charge of his government and made him ruler over all the land, |
105:22
with power over the king's officials and authority to instruct his advisers. |
105:23
Then Jacob went to Egypt and settled in that country. |
105:24
The LORD gave many children to his people and made them stronger than their
enemies. |
105:25
He made the Egyptians hate his people and treat his servants with deceit. |
105:26
Then he sent his servant Moses, and Aaron, whom he had chosen. |
105:27
They did God's mighty acts and performed miracles in Egypt. |
105:28
God sent darkness on the country, but the Egyptians did not obey his command.
|
105:29
He turned their rivers into blood and killed all their fish. |
105:30
Their country was overrun with frogs; even the palace was filled with them. |
105:31
God commanded, and flies and gnats swarmed throughout the whole country. |
105:32
He sent hail and lightning on their land instead of rain; |
105:33
he destroyed their grapevines and fig trees and broke down all the trees. |
105:34
He commanded, and the locusts came, countless millions of them; |
105:35
they ate all the plants in the land; they ate all the crops. |
105:36
He killed the first-born sons of all the families of Egypt. |
105:37
Then he led the Israelites out; they carried silver and gold, and all of them
were healthy and strong. |
105:38
The Egyptians were afraid of them and were glad when they left. |
105:39
God put a cloud over his people and a fire at night to give them light. |
105:40
They asked, and he sent quails; he gave them food from heaven to satisfy
them. |
105:41
He opened a rock, and water gushed out, flowing through the desert like a
river. |
105:42
He remembered his sacred promise to Abraham his servant. |
105:43
So he led his chosen people out, and they sang and shouted for joy. |
105:44
He gave them the lands of other peoples and let them take over their fields, |
105:45
so that his people would obey his laws and keep all his commands. Praise the
LORD! |
