Psalm 105

105:1 Give thanks to the Lord! Call on his name! Make known his accomplishments among the nations! 105:2 Sing to him! Make music to him! Tell about all his miraculous deeds! 105:3 Boast about his holy name! Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice! 105:4 Seek the Lord and the strength he gives! Seek his presence continually! 105:5 Recall the miraculous deeds he performed, his mighty acts and the judgments he decreed, 105:6 O children of Abraham, God’s servant, you descendants of Jacob, God’s chosen ones! 105:7 He is the Lord our God; he carries out judgment throughout the earth. 105:8 He always remembers his covenantal decree, the promise he made to a thousand generations– 105:9 the promise he made to Abraham, the promise he made by oath to Isaac! 105:10 He gave it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as a lasting promise, 105:11 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.” 105:12 When they were few in number, just a very few, and resident aliens within it, 105:13 they wandered from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another. 105:14 He let no one oppress them; he disciplined kings for their sake, 105:15 saying, “Don’t touch my chosen ones! Don’t harm my prophets!” 105:16 He called down a famine upon the earth; he cut off all the food supply. 105:17 He sent a man ahead of them– Joseph was sold as a servant.
