Psalm 105:1-45 NET

[1] Give thanks to the LORD. Call on his name. Make known his accomplishments among the nations. [2] Sing to him. Make music to him. Tell about all his miraculous deeds. [3] Boast about his holy name. Let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. [4] Seek the LORD and the strength he gives. Seek his presence continually. [5] Recall the miraculous deeds he performed, his mighty acts and the judgments he decreed, [6] O children of Abraham, God's servant, you descendants of Jacob, God's chosen ones. [7] He is the LORD our God; he carries out judgment throughout the earth. [8] He always remembers his covenantal decree, the promise he made to a thousand generations- [9] the promise he made to Abraham, the promise he made by oath to Isaac. [10] He gave it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as a lasting promise, [11] saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance." [12] When they were few in number, just a very few, and resident foreigners within it, [13] they wandered from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another. [14] He let no one oppress them; he disciplined kings for their sake, [15] saying, "Don't touch my chosen ones. Don't harm my prophets." [16] He called down a famine upon the earth; he cut off all the food supply. [17] He sent a man ahead of them-Joseph was sold as a servant. [18] The shackles hurt his feet; his neck was placed in an iron collar, [19] until the time when his prediction came true. The LORD's word proved him right. [20] The king authorized his release; the ruler of nations set him free. [21] He put him in charge of his palace, and made him manager of all his property, [22] giving him authority to imprison his officials and to teach his advisers. [23] Israel moved to Egypt; Jacob lived for a time in the land of Ham. [24] The LORD made his people very fruitful, and made them more numerous than their enemies. [25] He caused the Egyptians to hate his people, and to mistreat his servants. [26] He sent his servant Moses, and Aaron, whom he had chosen. [27] They executed his miraculous signs among them, and his amazing deeds in the land of Ham. [28] He made it dark; Moses and Aaron did not disobey his orders. [29] He turned the Egyptians' water into blood, and killed their fish. [30] Their land was overrun by frogs, which even got into the rooms of their kings. [31] He ordered flies to come; gnats invaded their whole territory. [32] He sent hail along with the rain; there was lightning in their land. [33] He destroyed their vines and fig trees, and broke the trees throughout their territory. [34] He ordered locusts to come, innumerable grasshoppers. [35] They ate all the vegetation in their land, and devoured the crops of their fields. [36] He struck down all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of their reproductive power. [37] He brought his people out enriched with silver and gold; none of his tribes stumbled. [38] Egypt was happy when they left, for they were afraid of them. [39] He spread out a cloud for a cover, and provided a fire to light up the night. [40] They asked for food, and he sent quail; he satisfied them with food from the sky. [41] He opened up a rock and water flowed out; a river ran through dry regions. [42] Yes, he remembered the sacred promise he made to Abraham his servant. [43] When he led his people out, they rejoiced; his chosen ones shouted with joy. [44] He handed the territory of nations over to them, and they took possession of what other peoples had produced, [45] so that they might keep his commands and obey his laws. Praise the LORD.
