Psalm 105:1-45 AMPC

[1] O give thanks unto the Lord, call upon His name, make known His doings among the peoples! [2] Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; meditate on and talk of all His marvelous deeds and devoutly praise them. [3] Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those rejoice who seek and require the Lord [as their indispensable necessity]. [4] Seek, inquire of and for the Lord, and crave Him and His strength (His might and inflexibility to temptation); seek and require His face and His presence [continually] evermore. [5] [Earnestly] remember the marvelous deeds that He has done, His miracles and wonders, the judgments and sentences which He pronounced [upon His enemies, as in Egypt]. [6] O you offspring of Abraham His servant, you children of Jacob, His chosen ones, [7] He is the Lord our God; His judgments are in all the earth. [8] He is [earnestly] mindful of His covenant and forever it is imprinted on His heart, the word which He commanded and established to a thousand generations, [9] The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His sworn promise to Isaac, [10] Which He confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant, [11] Saying, Unto you will I give the land of Canaan as your measured portion, possession, and inheritance. [12] When they were but a few men in number, in fact, very few, and were temporary residents and strangers in it, [13] When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people, [14] He allowed no man to do them wrong; in fact, He reproved kings for their sakes, [15] Saying, Touch not My anointed, and do My prophets no harm. [16] Moreover, He called for a famine upon the land [of Egypt]; He cut off every source of bread. [17] He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold as a servant. [18] His feet they hurt with fetters; he was laid in chains of iron and his soul entered into the iron, [19] Until his word [to his cruel brothers] came true, until the word of the Lord tried and tested him. [20] The king sent and loosed him, even the ruler of the peoples, and let him go free. [21] He made Joseph lord of his house and ruler of all his substance, [22] To bind his princes at his pleasure and teach his elders wisdom. [23] Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. [24] There [the Lord] greatly increased His people and made them stronger than their oppressors. [25] He turned the hearts [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 showed His signs among them, wonders and miracles in the land of Ham (Egypt). [28] He sent [thick] darkness and made the land dark, and they [God's two servants] rebelled not against His word. [29] He turned [Egypt's] waters into blood and caused their fish to die. [30] Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, even in the chambers of their kings. [31] He spoke, and there came swarms of beetles and flies and mosquitoes and lice in all their borders. [32] He gave them hail for rain, with lightning like flaming fire in their land. [33] He smote their vines also and their fig trees and broke the [ice-laden] trees of their borders. [34] He spoke, and the locusts came, and the grasshoppers, and that without number, [35] And ate up all the vegetation in their land and devoured the fruit of their ground. [36] He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the beginning and chief substance of all their strength. [37] He brought [Israel] forth also with silver and gold, and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. [38] Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen upon the people. [39] The Lord spread a cloud for a covering [by day], and a fire to give light in the night. [40] [The Israelites] asked, and He brought quails and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. [41] He opened the rock, and water gushed out; it ran in the dry places like a river. [42] For He [earnestly] remembered His holy word and promise to Abraham His servant. [43] And He brought forth His people with joy, and His chosen ones with gladness and singing, [44] And gave them the lands of the nations [of Canaan], and they reaped the fruits of those peoples' labor, [45] That they might observe His statutes and keep His laws [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying them]. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
