Psalm 105

⁸ He has remembered His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,
⁹ The covenant which He made with Abraham,
And His oath to Isaac.
¹⁰ Then He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
¹¹ Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan
As the ^[f]portion of your inheritance,”
¹² When they were only a few men in number,
Very few, and strangers in it.
¹³ And they wandered about from nation to nation,
From one kingdom to another people.
¹⁴ He permitted no man to oppress them,
And He reproved kings for their sakes:
¹⁵ “Do not touch My anointed ones,
And do My prophets no harm.”

¹⁶ And He called for a famine upon the land;
He broke the whole staff of bread.
¹⁷ He sent a man before them,
Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
¹⁸ They afflicted his feet with fetters,
^[g]He himself was laid in irons;
¹⁹ Until the time that his word came to pass,
The word of the Lord ^[h]tested him.
²⁰ The king sent and released him,
The ruler of peoples, and set him free.
²¹ He made him lord of his house
And ruler over all his possessions,
²² To ^[i]imprison his princes ^[j]at will,
That he might teach his elders wisdom.
²³ Israel also came into Egypt;
Thus Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
²⁴ And He caused His people to be very fruitful,
And made them stronger than their adversaries.

²⁵ He turned their heart to hate His people,
To deal craftily with His servants.
²⁶ He sent Moses His servant,
And Aaron, whom He had chosen.
²⁷ They ^[k]performed His wondrous acts among them,
And miracles in the land of Ham.
²⁸ He sent darkness and made it dark;
And they did not rebel against His words.
²⁹ He turned their waters into blood
And caused their fish to die.
³⁰ Their land swarmed with frogs
Even in the chambers of their kings.
³¹ He spoke, and there came a swarm of flies
And gnats in all their territory.
³² He ^[l]gave them hail for rain,
And flaming fire in their land.
³³ He struck down their vines also and their fig trees,
And shattered the trees of their territory.
³⁴ He spoke, and locusts came,
And young locusts, even without number,
³⁵ And ate up all vegetation in their land,
And ate up the fruit of their ground.
³⁶ He also struck down all the firstborn in their land,
The first fruits of all their vigor.

³⁷ Then He brought them out with silver and gold,
And among His tribes there was not one who stumbled.
³⁸ Egypt was glad when they departed,
For the dread of them had fallen upon them.
³⁹ He spread a cloud for a ^[m]covering,
And fire to illumine by night.
^40 [n]They asked, and He brought quail,
And satisfied them with the ^[o]bread of heaven.
⁴¹ He opened the ^[p]rock and water flowed out;
^[q]It ran in the dry places like a river.
⁴² For He remembered His holy word
With Abraham His servant;
⁴³ And He brought forth His people with joy,
His chosen ones with a joyful shout.
⁴⁴ He gave them also the lands of the ^[r]nations,
That they might take possession of the fruit of the peoples’ labor,
⁴⁵ So that they might keep His statutes
And observe His laws,
^[s]Praise ^[t]the Lord!
