←Prev   Psalms 105 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


105:1  Praise the Lord and pray in his name! Tell everyone what he has done.
105:2  Sing praises to the Lord! Tell about his miracles.
105:3  Celebrate and worship his holy name with all your heart.
105:4  Trust the Lord and his mighty power.
105:5  Remember his miracles and all his wonders and his fair decisions.
105:6  You belong to the family of Abraham, his servant; you are his chosen ones, the descendants of Jacob.
105:7  The Lord is our God, bringing justice everywhere on earth.
105:8  He will never forget his agreement or his promises, not in thousands of years. *
105:9  God made an eternal promise
105:10  to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
105:11  when he said, “I'll give you the land of Canaan.”
105:12  At the time there were only a few of us, and we were homeless.
105:13  We wandered from nation to nation, from one country to another.
105:14  God did not let anyone mistreat our people. Instead he protected us by punishing rulers
105:15  and telling them, “Don't touch my chosen leaders or harm my prophets!”
105:16  God kept crops from growing until food was scarce everywhere in the land.
105:17  But he had already sent Joseph, sold as a slave into Egypt,
105:18  with chains of iron around his legs and neck.
105:19  Joseph remained a slave until his own words had come true, and the Lord had finished testing him.
105:20  Then the king of Egypt set Joseph free
105:21  and put him in charge of everything he owned.
105:22  Joseph was in command of the officials, and he taught the leaders how to use wisdom.
105:23  Jacob and his family came and settled in Egypt as foreigners.
105:24  They were the Lord's people, so he let them grow stronger than their enemies.
105:25  They served the Lord, and he made the Egyptians plan hateful things against them.
105:26  God sent his servant Moses. He also chose and sent Aaron
105:27  to his people in Egypt, and they worked miracles and wonders there.
105:28  Moses and Aaron obeyed God, and he sent darkness to cover Egypt.
105:29  God turned their rivers into streams of blood, and the fish all died.
105:30  Frogs were everywhere, even in the royal palace.
105:31  When God gave the command, flies and gnats swarmed all around.
105:32  In place of rain, God sent hailstones and flashes of lightning.
105:33  He destroyed their grapevines and their fig trees, and he made splinters of all the other trees.
105:34  God gave the command, and more grasshoppers came than could be counted.
105:35  They ate every green plant and all the crops that grew in the land of Egypt.
105:36  Then God took the life of every first-born son.
105:37  When God led Israel from Egypt, they took silver and gold, and no one was left behind.
105:38  The Egyptians were afraid and gladly let them go.
105:39  God hid them under a cloud and guided them by fire during the night.
105:40  When they asked for food, he sent more birds than they could eat.
105:41  God even split open a rock, and streams of water gushed into the desert.
105:42  God never forgot his sacred promise to his servant Abraham.
105:43  When the Lord rescued his chosen people from Egypt, they celebrated with songs.
105:44  The Lord gave them the land and everything else the nations had worked for.
105:45  He did this so that his people would obey all his laws. Shout praises to the Lord!
