105:1  Give thanks to the Lord and pray to him. Tell the nations what he has done.
105:2  Sing to him; sing praises to him. Tell about all his miracles.
105:3  Be glad that you are his; let those who seek the Lord be happy.
105:4  Depend on the Lord and his strength; always go to him for help.
105:5  Remember the miracles he has done; remember his wonders and his decisions.
105:6  You are descendants of his servant Abraham, the children of Jacob, his chosen people.
105:7  He is the Lord our God. His laws are for all the world.
105:8  He will keep his agreement forever; he will keep his promises always.
105:9  He will keep the agreement he made with Abraham and the promise he made to Isaac.
105:10  He made it a law for the people of Jacob; he made it an agreement with Israel to last forever.
105:11  The Lord said, “I will give you the land of Canaan, and it will belong to you.”
105:12  Then God’s people were few in number. They were strangers in the land.
105:13  They went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another.
105:14  But the Lord did not let anyone hurt them; he warned kings not to harm them.
105:15  He said, “Don’t touch my chosen people, and don’t harm my prophets.”
105:16  God ordered a time of hunger in the land, and he destroyed all the food.
105:17  Then he sent a man ahead of them— Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
105:18  They put chains around his feet and an iron ring around his neck.
105:19  Then the time he had spoken of came, and the Lord’s words proved that Joseph was right.
105:20  The king of Egypt sent for Joseph and freed him; the ruler of the people set him free.
105:21  He made him the master of his house; Joseph was in charge of his riches.
105:22  He could order the princes as he wished. He taught the older men to be wise.
105:23  Then his father Israel came to Egypt; Jacob lived in Egypt.
105:24  The Lord made his people grow in number, and he made them stronger than their enemies.
105:25  He caused the Egyptians to hate his people and to make plans against his servants.
105:26  Then he sent his servant Moses, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
105:27  They did many signs among the Egyptians and worked wonders in Egypt.
105:28  The Lord sent darkness and made the land dark, but the Egyptians turned against what he said.
105:29  So he changed their water into blood and made their fish die.
105:30  Then their country was filled with frogs, even in the bedrooms of their rulers.
105:31  The Lord spoke and flies came, and gnats were everywhere in the country.
105:32  He made hail fall like rain and sent lightning through their land.
105:33  He struck down their grapevines and fig trees, and he destroyed every tree in the country.
105:34  He spoke and grasshoppers came; the locusts were too many to count.
105:35  They ate all the plants in the land and everything the earth produced.
105:36  The Lord also killed all the firstborn sons in the land, the oldest son of each family.
105:37  Then he brought his people out, and they carried with them silver and gold. Not one of his people stumbled.
105:38  The Egyptians were glad when they left, because the Egyptians were afraid of them.
105:39  The Lord covered them with a cloud and lit up the night with fire.
105:40  When they asked, he brought them quail and filled them with bread from heaven.
105:41  God split the rock, and water flowed out; it ran like a river through the desert.
105:42  He remembered his holy promise to his servant Abraham.
105:43  So God brought his people out with joy, his chosen ones with singing.
105:44  He gave them lands of other nations, so they received what others had worked for.
105:45  This was so they would keep his orders and obey his teachings. Praise the Lord!
