Psalm 105 :: New King James Version (NKJV)

The Eternal Faithfulness of the LORD

(Ex. 7:8—11:10; 1 Chr. 16:8–22 )

Psa 105:1

Psa 105:1Oh, give thanks to the LORD!
Call upon His name;
Make known His deeds among the peoples!

Psa 105:2

Psa 105:2Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him;
Talk of all His wondrous works!

Psa 105:3

Psa 105:3Glory in His holy name;
Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the LORD!

Psa 105:4

Psa 105:4Seek the LORD and His strength;
Seek His face evermore!

Psa 105:5

Psa 105:5Remember His marvelous works which He has done,
His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,

Psa 105:6

Psa 105:6O seed of Abraham His servant,
You children of Jacob, His chosen ones!

Psa 105:7

Psa 105:7He is the LORD our God;
His judgments are in all the earth.

Psa 105:8

Psa 105:8He remembers His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations,

Psa 105:9

Psa 105:9The covenant which He made with Abraham,
And His oath to Isaac,

Psa 105:10

Psa 105:10And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

Psa 105:11

Psa 105:11Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan
As the allotment of your inheritance,”

Psa 105:12

Psa 105:12When they were few in number,
Indeed very few, and strangers in it.

Psa 105:13

Psa 105:13When they went from one nation to another,
From one kingdom to another people,

Psa 105:14

Psa 105:14He permitted no one to do them wrong;
Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes,

Psa 105:15

Psa 105:15Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones,
And do My prophets no harm.”

Psa 105:16

Psa 105:16Moreover He called for a famine in the land;
He destroyed all the provision of bread.

Psa 105:17

Psa 105:17He sent a man before them—
Joseph—who was sold as a slave.

Psa 105:18

Psa 105:18They hurt his feet with fetters,
He was laid in irons.

Psa 105:19

Psa 105:19Until the time that his word came to pass,
The word of the LORD tested him.

Psa 105:20

Psa 105:20The king sent and released him,
The ruler of the people let him go free.

Psa 105:21

Psa 105:21He made him lord of his house,
And ruler of all his possessions,

Psa 105:22

Psa 105:22To bind his princes at his pleasure,
And teach his elders wisdom.

Psa 105:23

Psa 105:23Israel also came into Egypt,
And Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.

Psa 105:24

Psa 105:24He increased His people greatly,
And made them stronger than their enemies.

Psa 105:25

Psa 105:25He turned their heart to hate His people,
To deal craftily with His servants.

Psa 105:26

Psa 105:26He sent Moses His servant,
And Aaron whom He had chosen.

Psa 105:27

Psa 105:27They performed His signs among them,
And wonders in the land of Ham.

Psa 105:28

Psa 105:28He sent darkness, and made it dark;
And they did not rebel against His word.

Psa 105:29

Psa 105:29He turned their waters into blood,
And killed their fish.

Psa 105:30

Psa 105:30Their land abounded with frogs,
Even in the chambers of their kings.

Psa 105:31

Psa 105:31He spoke, and there came swarms of flies,
And lice in all their territory.

Psa 105:32

Psa 105:32He gave them hail for rain,
And flaming fire in their land.

Psa 105:33

Psa 105:33He struck their vines also, and their fig trees,
And splintered the trees of their territory.

Psa 105:34

Psa 105:34He spoke, and locusts came,
Young locusts without number,

Psa 105:35

Psa 105:35And ate up all the vegetation in their land,
And devoured the fruit of their ground.

Psa 105:36

Psa 105:36He also destroyed all the firstborn in their land,
The first of all their strength.

Psa 105:37

Psa 105:37He also brought them out with silver and gold,
And there was none feeble among His tribes.

Psa 105:38

Psa 105:38Egypt was glad when they departed,
For the fear of them had fallen upon them.

Psa 105:39

Psa 105:39He spread a cloud for a covering,
And fire to give light in the night.

Psa 105:40

Psa 105:40The people asked, and He brought quail,
And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

Psa 105:41

Psa 105:41He opened the rock, and water gushed out;
It ran in the dry places like a river.

Psa 105:42

Psa 105:42For He remembered His holy promise,
And Abraham His servant.

Psa 105:43

Psa 105:43He brought out His people with joy,
His chosen ones with gladness.

Psa 105:44

Psa 105:44He gave them the lands of the Gentiles,
And they inherited the labor of the nations,

Psa 105:45

Psa 105:45That they might observe His statutes
And keep His laws.

Praise the LORD!
