← Psalms 104 | Psalms | Psalms 106 →
v1
Oh give thanks to the LORD; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples!
v2
Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works!
v3
Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice!
v4
Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his presence continually!
v5
Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered,
v6
O offspring of Abraham, his servant, children of Jacob, his chosen ones!
v7
He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
v8
He remembers his covenant forever, the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,
v9
the covenant that he made with Abraham, his sworn promise to Isaac,
v10
which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
v11
saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan as your portion for an inheritance.”
v12
When they were few in number, of little account, and sojourners in it,
v13
wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,
v14
he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their account,
v15
saying, “Touch not my anointed ones, do my prophets no harm!“
v16
When he summoned a famine on the land and broke all supply of bread,
v17
he had sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
v18
His feet were hurt with fetters; his neck was put in a collar of iron;
v19
until what he had said came to pass, the word of the LORD tested him.
v20
The king sent and released him; the ruler of the peoples set him free;
v21
he made him lord of his house and ruler of all his possessions,
v22
to bind his princes at his pleasure and to teach his elders wisdom.
v23
Then Israel came to Egypt; Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
v24
And the LORD made his people very fruitful and made them stronger than their foes.
v25
He turned their hearts to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants.
v26
He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
v27
They performed his signs among them and miracles in the land of Ham.
v28
He sent darkness, and made the land dark; they did not rebel against his words.
v29
He turned their waters into blood and caused their fish to die.
v30
Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the chambers of their kings.
v31
He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats throughout their country.
v32
He gave them hail for rain, and fiery lightning bolts through their land.
v33
He struck down their vines and fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country.
v34
He spoke, and the locusts came, young locusts without number,
v35
which devoured all the vegetation in their land and ate up the fruit of their ground.
v36
He struck down all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their strength.
v37
Then he brought out Israel with silver and gold, and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.
v38
Egypt was glad when they departed, for dread of them had fallen upon it.
v39
He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light by night.
v40
They asked, and he brought quail, and gave them bread from heaven in abundance.
v41
He opened the rock, and water gushed out; it flowed through the desert like a river.
v42
For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham, his servant.
v43
So he brought his people out with joy, his chosen ones with singing.
v44
And he gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples’ toil,
v45
that they might keep his statutes and observe his laws. Praise the LORD!
