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  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.
105:7  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!
