Psalms 105:1-15

The Lord Can Be Trusted

1 *3 Macc 2.1.Praise the Lord

and pray in his name!

Tell everyone

what he has done.

2 Sing praises to the Lord!

Tell about his miracles.

3 Celebrate and worship

his holy name

with all your heart.

4 Trust the Lord

and his mighty power.

5 Remember his miracles

and all his wonders

and his fair decisions.

6 You belong to the family

of Abraham, his servant;

you are his chosen ones,

the descendants of Jacob.

7 The Lord is our God,

bringing justice

everywhere on earth.

8 He will never forget

his agreement or his promises,

not in thousands of years.

* 9 *Gn 12.7;17.8;Gn 26.3.God made an eternal promise

10 *Gn 28.13.to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,

11 when he said, "I’ll give you

the land of Canaan."

12 At the time there were

only a few of us,

and we were homeless.

13 We wandered from nation

to nation, from one country

to another.

14 *Gn 20.3-7.God did not let anyone

mistreat our people.

Instead he protected us

by punishing rulers

15 and telling them,

"Don’t touch my chosen leaders

or harm my prophets!"
