Psalm 105:1-45 AMP

[1] O give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the people. [2] Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonderful acts and devoutly praise them. [3] Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those who seek and require the LORD [as their most essential need] rejoice. [4] Seek and deeply long for the LORD and His strength [His power, His might]; Seek and deeply long for His face and His presence continually. [5] Remember [with awe and gratitude] the wonderful things which He has done, His amazing deeds and the judgments uttered by His mouth [on His enemies, as in Egypt], [6] O you offspring of Abraham, His servant, O you sons of Jacob, His chosen ones! [7] He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth. [8] He has remembered His covenant forever, The word which He commanded and established to a thousand generations, [9] The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His sworn oath to Isaac, [10] Which He confirmed to Jacob as a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant, [11] Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan As the measured portion of your inheritance.” [12] When there were only a few men in number, Very few [in fact], and strangers in it; [13] And they wandered from one nation to another, From one kingdom to another people, [14] He allowed no man to oppress them; He rebuked kings for their sakes, saying, [15] “Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm.” [16] And He called for a famine upon the land [of Egypt]; He cut off every source of bread. [17] He sent a man before them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave. [18] His feet they hurt with shackles; He was put in chains of iron, [19] Until the time that his word [of prophecy regarding his brothers] came true, The word of the LORD tested and refined him. [20] The king sent and released him, The ruler of the peoples [of Egypt], and set him free. [21] He made Joseph lord of his house And ruler of all his possessions, [22] To imprison his princes at his will, That he might teach his elders wisdom. [23] Israel also came into Egypt; Thus Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. [24] There the LORD greatly increased [the number of] His people, And made them more powerful than their enemies. [25] He turned the heart [of the Egyptians] to hate His people, To deal craftily with His servants. [26] He sent Moses His servant, And Aaron, whom He had chosen. [27] They exhibited His wondrous signs among them, Great miracles in the land of Ham (Egypt). [28] He sent [thick, oppressive] darkness and made the land dark; And Moses and Aaron did not rebel against His words. [29] He turned Egypt’s waters into blood And caused their fish to die. [30] Their land swarmed with frogs, Even in the chambers of their kings. [31] He spoke, and there came swarms of flies And gnats in all their territory. [32] He gave them hail for rain, With flaming fire in their land. [33] He struck their vines also and their fig trees, And shattered the [ice-laden] trees of their territory. [34] He spoke, and the [migratory] locusts came, And the young locusts, even without number, [35] And ate up all the vegetation in their land, And devoured the fruit of their ground. [36] He also struck down all the firstborn in their land, The first fruits and chief substance of all their strength. [37] He brought the sons of Israel out [of Egypt] with silver and gold, And among their tribes there was not one who stumbled. [38] Egypt was glad when they departed, For the dread and fear of them had fallen on the Egyptians. [39] The LORD spread a cloud as a covering [by day], And a fire to illumine the night. [40] The Israelites asked, and He brought quail, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven. [41] He opened the rock and water flowed out; It ran in the dry places like a river. [42] For He remembered His holy word To Abraham His servant; [43] He brought out His people with joy, And His chosen ones with a joyful shout, [44] He gave them the lands of the nations [of Canaan], So that they would possess the fruits of those peoples’ labor, [45] So that they might observe His precepts And keep His laws [obediently accepting and honoring and valuing them]. Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!)
