Psalm 105:1-45 GW

[1] Give thanks to the LORD. Call on him. Make known among the nations what he has done. [2] Sing to him. Make music to praise him. Meditate on all the miracles he has performed. [3] Brag about his holy name. Let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. [4] Search for the LORD and his strength. Always seek his presence. [5] Remember the miracles he performed, the amazing things he did, and the judgments he pronounced, [6] you descendants of his servant Abraham, you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones. [7] He is the LORD our God. His judgments are pronounced throughout the earth. [8] He always remembers his promise, the word that he commanded for a thousand generations, [9] the promise that he made to Abraham, and his sworn oath to Isaac. [10] He confirmed it as a law for Jacob, as an everlasting promise to Israel, [11] by saying, "I will give you the land of Canaan. It is your share of the inheritance." [12] While the people of Israel were few in number, a small group of foreigners living in that land, [13] they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another. [14] He didn't permit anyone to oppress them. He warned kings about them: [15] "Do not touch my anointed ones or harm my prophets." [16] He brought famine to the land. He took away their food supply. [17] He sent a man ahead of them. He sent Joseph, who was sold as a slave. [18] They hurt his feet with shackles, and cut into his neck with an iron collar. [19] The LORD's promise tested him through fiery trials until his prediction came true. [20] The king sent someone to release him. The ruler of nations set him free. [21] He made Joseph the master of his palace and the ruler of all his possessions. [22] Joseph trained the king's officers the way he wanted and taught his respected leaders wisdom. [23] Then Israel came to Egypt. Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham. [24] The LORD made his people grow rapidly in number and stronger than their enemies. [25] He changed their minds so that they hated his people, and they dealt treacherously with his servants. [26] He sent his servant Moses, and he sent Aaron, whom he had chosen. [27] They displayed his miraculous signs among them and did amazing things in the land of Ham. [28] He sent darkness and made their land dark. They did not rebel against his orders. [29] He turned their water into blood and caused their fish to die. [30] He made their land swarm with frogs, even in the kings' bedrooms. [31] He spoke, and swarms of flies and gnats infested their whole territory. [32] He gave them hail and lightning instead of rain throughout their land. [33] He struck their grapevines and fig trees and smashed the trees in their territory. [34] He spoke, and countless locusts and grasshoppers came. [35] They devoured all the plants in the land. They devoured the crops in the fields. [36] He killed all the firstborn sons, the first ones born in the land when their fathers were young. [37] He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and no one among his tribes stumbled. [38] The Egyptians were terrified of Israel, so they were glad when Israel left. [39] He spread out a cloud as a protective covering and a fire to light up the night. [40] The Israelites asked, and he brought them quail and filled them with bread from heaven. [41] He opened a rock, and water gushed and flowed like a river through the dry places. [42] He remembered his holy promise to his servant Abraham. [43] He brought his people out with joy, his chosen ones with a song of joy. [44] He gave them the lands of other nations, and they inherited what others had worked for [45] so that they would obey his laws and follow his teachings. Hallelujah!
