Psalm 105:1-45 CEV

[1] Praise the LORD and pray in his name! Tell everyone what he has done. [2] Sing praises to the LORD! Tell about his miracles. [3] Celebrate and worship his holy name with all your heart. [4] Trust the LORD and his mighty power. [5] Remember his miracles and all his wonders and his fair decisions. [6] You belong to the family of Abraham, his servant; you are his chosen ones, the descendants of Jacob. [7] The LORD is our God, bringing justice everywhere on earth. [8] He will never forget his agreement or his promises, not in thousands of years. [9] God made an eternal promise [10] to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, [11] when he said, "I'll give you the land of Canaan." [12] At the time there were only a few of us, and we were homeless. [13] We wandered from nation to nation, from one country to another. [14] God did not let anyone mistreat our people. Instead he protected us by punishing rulers [15] and telling them, "Don't touch my chosen leaders or harm my prophets!" [16] God kept crops from growing until food was scarce everywhere in the land. [17] But he had already sent Joseph, sold as a slave into Egypt, [18] with chains of iron around his legs and neck. [19] Joseph remained a slave until his own words had come true, and the LORD had finished testing him. [20] Then the king of Egypt set Joseph free [21] and put him in charge of everything he owned. [22] Joseph was in command of the officials, and he taught the leaders how to use wisdom. [23] Jacob and his family came and settled in Egypt as foreigners. [24] They were the LORD's people, so he let them grow stronger than their enemies. [25] They served the LORD, and he made the Egyptians plan hateful things against them. [26] God sent his servant Moses. He also chose and sent Aaron [27] to his people in Egypt, and they worked miracles and wonders there. [28] Moses and Aaron obeyed God, and he sent darkness to cover Egypt. [29] God turned their rivers into streams of blood, and the fish all died. [30] Frogs were everywhere, even in the royal palace. [31] When God gave the command, flies and gnats swarmed all around. [32] In place of rain, God sent hailstones and flashes of lightning. [33] He destroyed their grapevines and their fig trees, and he made splinters of all the other trees. [34] God gave the command, and more grasshoppers came than could be counted. [35] They ate every green plant and all the crops that grew in the land of Egypt. [36] Then God took the life of every first-born son. [37] When God led Israel from Egypt, they took silver and gold, and no one was left behind. [38] The Egyptians were afraid and gladly let them go. [39] God hid them under a cloud and guided them by fire during the night. [40] When they asked for food, he sent more birds than they could eat. [41] God even split open a rock, and streams of water gushed into the desert. [42] God never forgot his sacred promise to his servant Abraham. [43] When the Lord rescued his chosen people from Egypt, they celebrated with songs. [44] The Lord gave them the land and everything else the nations had worked for. [45] He did this so that his people would obey all of his laws. Shout praises to the LORD!
