Psalm 105

New Coverdale Version

Give thanks unto the Lord and call upon his Name; * tell the peoples what things he has done.

O let your songs be of him, and praise him, * and let your speech be of all his wondrous works.

Rejoice in his holy Name; * let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.

Seek the Lord and his strength; * seek his face evermore.

Remember the marvelous works that he has done, * his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

O seed of Abraham his servant, * O children of Jacob his chosen.

He is the Lord our God; * his judgments are in all the world.

He has always been mindful of his covenant, * and the promise that he made to a thousand generations,

Even the covenant that he made with Abraham, * and the oath that he swore to Isaac,

Which he appointed to Jacob for a law, * and to Israel for an everlasting testament,

Saying, “To you will I give the land of Canaan * to be the portion of your inheritance.”

When there were yet but a few of them, * and they were strangers in the land,

And they wandered from nation to nation, * and from one kingdom to another,

He allowed no one to do them wrong, * but reproved even kings for their sakes:

“Do not touch my Anointed, * and do my prophets no harm.”

Moreover, he called for a famine in the land * and destroyed all the provision of bread.

But he had sent a man before them: * Joseph, who was sold to be a bondservant,

Whose feet they hurt in the stocks; * they put an iron collar around his neck.

Until the time came that his sayings were fulfilled, * the word of the Lord tried him.

The king sent and delivered him; * the ruler of the people let him go free.

He made him lord over his house, * and ruler of all his possessions,

That he might instruct his princes according to his will * and teach his elders wisdom.

Israel also came into Egypt, * and Jacob was a stranger in the land of Ham.

And he increased his people exceedingly, * and made them stronger than their enemies,

Whose heart he turned, so that they hated his people, * and dealt deceitfully with his servants.

Then he sent Moses his servant, * and Aaron whom he had chosen,

And they worked his signs among them, * and wonders in the land of Ham.

He sent darkness, and it was dark; * but they were not obedient to his word.

He turned their waters into blood * and caused their fish to die.

Their land brought forth frogs, * even in their kings’ chambers.

He spoke the word, and there came all manner of flies, * and gnats in all their borders.

He gave them hailstones for rain, * and flames of fire in their land.

He smote their vines also, and their fig trees, * and destroyed the trees that were in their borders.

He spoke the word, and the grasshoppers came, and locusts innumerable, * which ate up all the grass in their land and devoured the fruit of their ground.

He smote all the firstborn in their land, * even the firstfruits of all their strength.

He brought forth Israel with silver and gold; * in all their tribes there was not one who stumbled.

Egypt was glad at their departing, * for they were afraid of them.

He spread out a cloud to be a covering, * and fire to give light in the night season.

At their desire he brought quail, * and he filled them with the bread of heaven.

He opened the rock, and the waters flowed out, * so that rivers ran in the dry places.

For he remembered his holy promise * and Abraham his servant.

And he brought forth his people with joy, * and his chosen ones with gladness,

And gave them the lands of the nations, * and they took the labors of the peoples in possession,

That they might keep his statutes * and observe his laws. Praise the Lord.
