Psalm 105:1-45 GNT

[1] Give thanks to the LORD, proclaim his greatness; tell the nations what he has done. [2] Sing praise to the LORD; tell the wonderful things he has done. [3] Be glad that we belong to him; let all who worship him rejoice. [4] Go to the LORD for help; and worship him continually. [5] You descendants of Abraham, his servant; you descendants of Jacob, the man he chose: remember the miracles that God performed and the judgments that he gave. [7] The LORD is our God; his commands are for all the world. [8] He will keep his covenant forever, his promises for a thousand generations. [9] He will keep the agreement he made with Abraham and his promise to Isaac. [10] The LORD made a covenant with Jacob, one that will last forever. [11] "I will give you the land of Canaan," he said. "It will be your own possession." [12] God's people were few in number, strangers in the land of Canaan. [13] They wandered from country to country, from one kingdom to another. [14] But God let no one oppress them; to protect them, he warned the kings: [15] "Don't harm my chosen servants; do not touch my prophets." [16] The LORD sent famine to their country and took away all their food. [17] But he sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, who had been sold as a slave. [18] His feet were kept in chains, and an iron collar was around his neck, [19] until what he had predicted came true. The word of the LORD proved him right. [20] Then the king of Egypt had him released; the ruler of nations set him free. [21] He put him in charge of his government and made him ruler over all the land, [22] with power over the king's officials and authority to instruct his advisers. [23] Then Jacob went to Egypt and settled in that country. [24] The LORD gave many children to his people and made them stronger than their enemies. [25] He made the Egyptians hate his people and treat his servants with deceit. [26] Then he sent his servant Moses, and Aaron, whom he had chosen. [27] They did God's mighty acts and performed miracles in Egypt. [28] God sent darkness on the country, but the Egyptians did not obey his command. [29] He turned their rivers into blood and killed all their fish. [30] Their country was overrun with frogs; even the palace was filled with them. [31] God commanded, and flies and gnats swarmed throughout the whole country. [32] He sent hail and lightning on their land instead of rain; [33] he destroyed their grapevines and fig trees and broke down all the trees. [34] He commanded, and the locusts came, countless millions of them; [35] they ate all the plants in the land; they ate all the crops. [36] He killed the first-born sons of all the families of Egypt. [37] Then he led the Israelites out; they carried silver and gold, and all of them were healthy and strong. [38] The Egyptians were afraid of them and were glad when they left. [39] God put a cloud over his people and a fire at night to give them light. [40] They asked, and he sent quails; he gave them food from heaven to satisfy them. [41] He opened a rock, and water gushed out, flowing through the desert like a river. [42] He remembered his sacred promise to Abraham his servant. [43] So he led his chosen people out, and they sang and shouted for joy. [44] He gave them the lands of other peoples and let them take over their fields, [45] so that his people would obey his laws and keep all his commands. Praise the LORD!
