Psalms 105:1-22 ▼

1 Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.

2 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.

3 Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

4 Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.

5 Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,

6 O offspring of His servant Abraham, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

7 He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth.

8 He remembers His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—

9 the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.

10 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

11 “I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.”

12 When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,

13 they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.

14 He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:

15 “Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!”

16 He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food.

17 He sent a man before them—Joseph, sold as a slave.

18 They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons,

19 until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right.

20 The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.

21 He made him master of his household, ruler over all his substance,

22 to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.
