Psa 105:13

Psa 105:13they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.

Psa 105:16

Psa 105:16He called down famine on the land and destroyed all their supplies of food;

Psa 105:17and he sent a man before them— Joseph, sold as a slave.

Psa 105:18

Psa 105:18They bruised his feet with shackles, his neck was put in irons,

Psa 105:24The LORD made his people very fruitful; he made them too numerous for their foes,

Psa 105:25

Psa 105:25whose hearts he turned to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.

Psa 105:26

Psa 105:26He sent Moses his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.

Psa 105:34

Psa 105:34He spoke, and the locusts came, grasshoppers without number;

Psa 105:35

Psa 105:35they ate up every green thing in their land, ate up the produce of their soil.

Psa 105:36

Psa 105:36Then he struck down all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their manhood.

Psa 105:39He spread out a cloud as a covering, and a fire to give light at night.

Psa 105:40They asked, and he brought them quail; he fed them well with the bread of heaven.

Psa 105:41

Psa 105:41He opened the rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.
