Psalm 105

Tell of All His Wondrous Works

1 *Ps. 106:1;1 Chr. 16:34;Isa. 12:4;For ver. 1-15, see 1 Chr. 16:8-22Oh give thanks to the Lord; *Ps. 99:6;116:13,17;[Gen. 4:26] call upon his name;

*Ps. 145:4,5,11,12make known his deeds among the peoples!

2 Sing to him, sing praises to him;

*Ps. 77:12tell of all his wondrous works!

3 Glory in his holy name;

let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!

4 Seek the Lord and his *See Ps. 78:61strength;

*[Ps. 27:8]seek his presence continually!

5 Remember the *Ps. 77:11;See Ps. 72:18wondrous works that he has done,

his miracles, and *Ex. 6:6;7:4the judgments he uttered,

6 O offspring of *ver. 42Abraham, his servant,

children of Jacob, his *ver. 43;Ps. 106:5;[Ps. 135:4]chosen ones!

7 He is the Lord our God;

his *Isa. 26:9judgments are in all the earth.

8 He *ver. 42;Ps. 106:45;111:5;Luke 1:72remembers his covenant forever,

the word that he commanded, for *Deut. 7:9a thousand generations,

9 *Gen. 17:2;See Gen. 22:15-18the covenant that he made with Abraham,

his *Gen. 26:3sworn promise to Isaac,

10 which he confirmed to *Gen. 28:13,14;35:11,12Jacob as a statute,

to Israel as an everlasting covenant,

11 saying, *Gen. 13:15;15:18"To you I will give the land of Canaan

as *Ps. 78:55your portion for an inheritance."

12 When they were *Gen. 34:30;Deut. 7:7;26:5few in number,

of little account, and *Heb. 11:9sojourners in it,

13 wandering from nation to nation,

from one kingdom to another people,

14 he *[Gen. 35:5] allowed no one to oppress them;

he *Gen. 12:17;20:3rebuked kings on their account,

15 saying, *Gen. 20:6,7;[Gen. 26:11]"Touch not my anointed ones,

do my prophets no harm!"

16 When he *Gen. 41:54;[2 Kgs. 8:1;Hag. 1:11] summoned a famine on the land

and *Lev. 26:26;Isa. 3:1;Ezek. 4:16;[Ps. 104:15]broke all supply*105:16 Hebrew staff of bread,

17 he had *Gen. 45:5;50:20sent a man ahead of them,

Joseph, who was *Gen. 37:28,36;Acts 7:9sold as a slave.

18 His *[Gen. 39:20]feet were hurt with fetters;

his neck was put in a collar of iron;

19 until *Gen. 40:20,21;41:53,54what he had said came to pass,

the word of the Lord*[Judg. 7:4]tested him.

20 *Gen. 41:14The king sent and *Ps. 146:7released him;

the ruler of the peoples set him free;

21 he *Gen. 41:40made him lord of his house

and ruler of all his possessions,

22 to bind*105:22 Septuagint, Syriac, Jerome instruct his princes at his pleasure

and to teach his elders wisdom.

23 Then *Gen. 46:6;Acts 7:15Israel came to Egypt;

Jacob *Acts 13:17sojourned in *Ps. 106:22;[Ps. 78:51]the land of Ham.

24 And the Lord*Ex. 1:7;Deut. 26:5made his people very fruitful

and made them stronger than their foes.

25 He *[Ex. 9:12;Rom. 11:8]; See Ex. 1:8-14turned their hearts to hate his people,

to *Ex. 1:10;Acts 7:19deal craftily with his servants.

26 He *Ex. 3:10;4:12sent Moses, his servant,

and Aaron, *Num. 16:5;17:5whom he had chosen.

27 *For ver. 27-36, see Ps. 78:43-51They performed his signs among them

and miracles in *[See ver. 23above]the land of Ham.

28 He *Ex. 10:21-23sent darkness, and made the land dark;

they *Ps. 99:7did not rebel*105:28 Septuagint, Syriac omit not against his words.

29 He turned their waters into blood

and *Ex. 7:21caused their fish to die.

30 Their land swarmed with frogs,

even in *Ex. 8:3the chambers of their kings.

31 He spoke, and there came *Ex. 8:21swarms of flies,

*Ex. 8:16and gnats throughout their country.

32 He gave them hail for rain,

and fiery *Ex. 9:23lightning bolts through their land.

33 He struck down their vines and fig trees,

and *Ex. 9:25shattered the trees of their country.

34 He spoke, and the *See Ex. 10:12-15locusts came,

young locusts without number,

35 which devoured all the vegetation in their land

and ate up the fruit of their ground.

36 He *See Ps. 78:51struck down all the firstborn in their land,

*See Ps. 78:51the firstfruits of all their strength.

37 Then he brought out Israel with *Ex. 12:35,36silver and gold,

and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.

38 *Ex. 12:23Egypt was glad when they departed,

for *Ex. 15:16dread of them had fallen upon it.

39 He *[Job 36:20;Isa. 4:5]; See Ex. 13:21spread a cloud for a covering,

and fire to give light by night.

40 *Ps. 78:18,27They asked, and he *Ex. 16:13brought quail,

and gave them *Ps. 78:24,25;[John 6:31]bread from heaven in abundance.

41 He opened the rock, and *See Ps. 78:15water gushed out;

it flowed through *See Ps. 63:1the desert like a river.

42 For he *ver. 8, 9;Ex. 2:24remembered his holy promise,

and *[Gen. 15:14]; See ver. 6Abraham, his servant.

43 So he brought his people out with joy,

his *[See ver. 42above] chosen ones with *[Isa. 35:10]; See Ex. 15:1-21singing.

44 And he *Josh. 24:13;[Ps. 78:55]gave them the lands of the nations,

and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples’ toil,

45 that they might *Deut. 4:1,40keep his statutes

and *Ps. 78:7observe his laws.

*See Ps. 104:35Praise the Lord!
