105:1  Give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name; Make His deeds known among the peoples.
105:2  Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Tell of all His wonders.
105:3  Boast in His holy name; May the heart of those who seek the Lord be joyful.
105:4  Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face continually.
105:5  Remember His wonders which He has done, His marvels and the judgments spoken by His mouth,
105:6  You descendants of Abraham, His servant, You sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!
105:7  He is the Lord our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
105:8  He has remembered His covenant forever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,
105:9  The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac.
105:10  Then He confirmed it to Jacob as a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
105:11  Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan As the portion of your inheritance,”
105:12  When they were only a few people in number, Very few, and strangers in it.
105:13  And they wandered from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people,
105:14  He allowed no one to oppress them, And He rebuked kings for their sakes, saying,
105:15  “Do not touch My anointed ones, And do not harm My prophets.”
105:16  And He called for a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.
105:17  He sent a man before them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
105:18  They forced his feet into shackles, He was put in irons;
105:19  Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of the Lord refined him.
105:20  The king sent and released him, The ruler of peoples, and set him free.
105:21  He made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions,
105:22  To imprison his high officials at will, That he might teach his elders wisdom.
105:23  Israel also came into Egypt; So Jacob lived in the land of Ham.
105:24  And He made His people very fruitful, And made them stronger than their enemies.
105:25  He turned their heart to hate His people, To deal cunningly with His servants.
105:26  He sent His servant Moses, And Aaron, whom He had chosen.
105:27  They performed His wondrous acts among them, And miracles in the land of Ham.
105:28  He sent darkness and made it dark; And they did not rebel against His words.
105:29  He turned their waters into blood, And caused their fish to die.
105:30  Their land swarmed with frogs Even in the chambers of their kings.
105:31  He spoke, and a swarm of flies And gnats invaded all their territory.
105:32  He gave them hail for rain, And flaming fire in their land.
105:33  He also struck their vines and their fig trees, And smashed the trees of their territory.
105:34  He spoke, and locusts came, And creeping locusts, beyond number,
105:35  And they ate all the vegetation in their land, And ate the fruit of their ground.
105:36  He also fatally struck all the firstborn in their land, The first fruits of all their vigor.
105:37  Then He brought the Israelites out with silver and gold, And among His tribes there was not one who stumbled.
105:38  Egypt was glad when they departed, For the dread of them had fallen upon the Egyptians.
105:39  He spread out a cloud as a covering, And fire to illumine by night.
105:40  They asked, and He brought quail, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
105:41  He opened the rock and water flowed out; It ran in the dry places like a river.
105:42  For He remembered His holy word With His servant Abraham;
105:43  And He led out His people with joy, His chosen ones with a joyful shout.
105:44  He also gave them the lands of the nations, So that they might take possession of the fruit of the peoples’ labor,
105:45  And that they might keep His statutes And comply with His laws; Praise the Lord!
