Context
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 .
105:18 The shackles hurt his feet ; his neck was placed in an iron collar ,
105:19 until the time when his prediction came true. The Lord’s word proved him right.
105:20 The king authorized his release ; the ruler of nations set him free .
105:21 He put him in charge of his palace , and made him manager of all his property ,
105:22 giving him authority to imprison his officials and to teach his advisers .
105:23 Israel moved to Egypt ; Jacob lived for a time in the land of Ham .
