Psalm 105:1-15

God and His People

1 Give thanks to the Lord,

proclaim his greatness;

tell the nations what he has done.

2 Sing praise to the Lord;

tell the wonderful things he has done.

3 Be glad that we belong to him;

let all who worship him rejoice.

4 Go to the Lord for help;

and worship him continually.

5,6 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.

7 The Lord is our God;

his commands are for all the world.

8 He will keep his covenant forever,

his promises for a thousand generations.

9 *Gn 12.7;17.8;Gn 26.3He will keep the agreement he made with Abraham

and his promise to Isaac.

10 *Gn 28.13The Lord made a covenant with Jacob,

one that will last forever.

11 "I will give you the land of Canaan," he said.

"It will be your own possession."

12 God’s people were few in number,

strangers in the land of Canaan.

13 They wandered from country to country,

from one kingdom to another.

14 *Gn 20.3-7But God let no one oppress them;

to protect them, he warned the kings:

15 "Don’t harm my chosen servants;

do not touch my prophets."
