Psalm 105 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Jehovah's Wonderful Works in behalf of Israel.

Psa 105:1
Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name;
Make known among the peoples his doings.
Psa 105:2
Sing unto him, sing praises unto him;
Talk ye of all his marvelous works.
Psa 105:3
Glory ye in his holy name:
Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
Psa 105:4
Seek ye Jehovah and his strength;
Seek his face evermore.
Psa 105:5
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done,
His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
Psa 105:6
O ye seed of Abraham his servant,
Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
Psa 105:7
He is Jehovah our God:
His judgments are in all the earth.
Psa 105:8
He hath remembered his covenant for ever,
The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
Psa 105:9
The covenant which he made with Abraham,
And his oath unto Isaac,
Psa 105:10
And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute,
To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
Psa 105:11
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,
The lot of your inheritance;
Psa 105:12
When they were but a few men in number,
Yea, very few, and sojourners in it.
Psa 105:13
And they went about from nation to nation,
From one kingdom to another people.
Psa 105:14
He suffered no man to do them wrong;
Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
Psa 105:15
Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones,
And do my prophets no harm.
Psa 105:16
And he called for a famine upon the land;
He brake the whole staff of bread.
Psa 105:17
He sent a man before them;
Joseph was sold for a servant:
Psa 105:18
His feet they hurt with fetters:
He was laid in chains of iron,
Psa 105:19
Until the time that his word came to pass,
The word of Jehovah tried him.
Psa 105:20
The king sent and loosed him;
Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
Psa 105:21
He made him lord of his house,
And ruler of all his substance;
Psa 105:22
To bind his princes at his pleasure,
And teach his elders wisdom.
Psa 105:23
Israel also came into Egypt;
And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
Psa 105:24
And he increased his people greatly,
And made them stronger than their adversaries.
Psa 105:25
He turned their heart to hate his people,
To deal subtly with his servants.
Psa 105:26
He sent Moses his servant,
And Aaron whom he had chosen.
Psa 105:27
They set among them his signs,
And wonders in the land of Ham.
Psa 105:28
He sent darkness, and made it dark;
And they rebelled not against his words.
Psa 105:29
He turned their waters into blood,
And slew their fish.
Psa 105:30
Their land swarmed with frogs
In the chambers of their kings.
Psa 105:31
He spake, and there came swarms of flies,
And lice in all their borders.
Psa 105:32
He gave them hail for rain,
And flaming fire in their land.
Psa 105:33
He smote their vines also and their fig-trees,
And brake the trees of their borders.
Psa 105:34
He spake, and the locust came,
And the grasshopper, and that without number,
Psa 105:35
And did eat up every herb in their land,
And did eat up the fruit of their ground.
Psa 105:36
He smote also all the first-born in their land,
The chief of all their strength.
Psa 105:37
And he brought them forth with silver and gold;
And there was not one feeble person among his tribes.
Psa 105:38
Egypt was glad when they departed;
For the fear of them had fallen upon them.
Psa 105:39
He spread a cloud for a covering,
And fire to give light in the night.
Psa 105:40
They asked, and he brought quails,
And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
Psa 105:41
He opened the rock, and waters gushed out;
They ran in the dry places like a river.
Psa 105:42
For he remembered his holy word,
And Abraham his servant.
Psa 105:43
And he brought forth his people with joy,
And his chosen with singing.
Psa 105:44
And he gave them the lands of the nations;
And they took the labor of the peoples in possession:
Psa 105:45
That they might keep his statutes,
And observe his laws.
Praise ye Jehovah.
