Listen to Psalm 105

¹Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name! Make his doings known among the peoples. ²Sing to him, sing praises to him! Tell of all his marvelous works. ³Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice. ⁴Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more. ⁵Remember his marvelous works that he has done: his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth, ⁶you offspring of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones. ⁷He is Yahweh, our God. His judgments are in all the earth. ⁸He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, ⁹the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac, ¹⁰and confirmed it to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant, ¹¹saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance," ¹²when they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it. ¹³They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people. ¹⁴He allowed no one to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes, ¹⁵"Don't touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!" ¹⁶He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies. ¹⁷He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave. ¹⁸They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons, ¹⁹until the time that his word happened, and Yahweh's word proved him true. ²⁰The king sent and freed him, even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free. ²¹He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all of his possessions, ²²to discipline his princes at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom. ²³Israel also came into Egypt. Jacob lived in the land of Ham. ²⁴He increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries. ²⁵He turned their heart to hate his people, to conspire against his servants. ²⁶He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen. ²⁷They performed miracles among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. ²⁸He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn't rebel against his words. ²⁹He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish. ³⁰Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their kings. ³¹He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and lice in all their borders. ³²He gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land. ³³He struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country. ³⁴He spoke, and the locusts came with the grasshoppers, without number. ³⁵They ate up every plant in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground. ³⁶He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood. ³⁷He brought them out with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person among his tribes. ³⁸Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen on them. ³⁹He spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the night. ⁴⁰They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of the sky. ⁴¹He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places. ⁴²For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant. ⁴³He brought his people out with joy, his chosen with singing. ⁴⁴He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession, ⁴⁵that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise Yah!
