  - 105:1 Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name!
- Make his doings known among the peoples.
- 105:2 Sing to him, sing praises to him!
- Tell of all his marvelous works.
- 105:3 Glory in his holy name.
- Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
- 105:4 Seek Yahweh and his strength.
- Seek his face forever more.
- 105:5 Remember his marvelous works that he has done;
- his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
- 105:6 you seed of Abraham, his servant,
- you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
- 105:7 He is Yahweh, our God.
- His judgments are in all the earth.
- 105:8 He has remembered his covenant forever,
- the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
- 105:9 the covenant which he made with Abraham,
- his oath to Isaac,
- 105:10 and confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute;
- to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
- 105:11 saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan,
- the lot of your inheritance;"
- 105:12 when they were but a few men in number,
- yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
- 105:13 They went about from nation to nation,
- from one kingdom to another people.
- 105:14 He allowed no one to do them wrong.
- Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
- 105:15 "Don't touch my anointed ones!
- Do my prophets no harm!"
- 105:16 He called for a famine on the land.
- He destroyed the food supplies.
- 105:17 He sent a man before them.
- Joseph was sold for a slave.
- 105:18 They bruised his feet with shackles.
- His neck was locked in irons,
- 105:19 until the time that his word happened,
- and Yahweh's word proved him true.
- 105:20 The king sent and freed him;
- even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
- 105:21 He made him lord of his house,
- and ruler of all of his possessions;
- 105:22 to discipline his princes at his pleasure,
- and to teach his elders wisdom.
- 105:23 Israel also came into Egypt.
- Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
- 105:24 He increased his people greatly,
- and made them stronger than their adversaries.
- 105:25 He turned their heart to hate his people,
- to conspire against his servants.
- 105:26 He sent Moses, his servant,
- and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
- 105:27 They performed miracles among them,
- and wonders in the land of Ham.
- 105:28 He sent darkness, and made it dark.
- They didn't rebel against his words.
- 105:29 He turned their waters into blood,
- and killed their fish.
- 105:30 Their land swarmed with frogs,
- even in the chambers of their kings.
- 105:31 He spoke, and swarms of flies came,
- and lice in all their borders.
- 105:32 He gave them hail for rain,
- with lightning in their land.
- 105:33 He struck their vines and also their fig trees,
- and shattered the trees of their country.
- 105:34 He spoke, and the locusts came,
- and the grasshoppers, without number,
- 105:35 ate up every plant in their land;
- and ate up the fruit of their ground.
- 105:36 He struck also all the firstborn in their land,
- the first fruits of all their manhood.
- 105:37 He brought them forth with silver and gold.
- There was not one feeble person among his tribes.
- 105:38 Egypt was glad when they departed,
- for the fear of them had fallen on them.
- 105:39 He spread a cloud for a covering,
- fire to give light in the night.
- 105:40 They asked, and he brought quails,
- and satisfied them with the bread of the sky.
- 105:41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out.
- They ran as a river in the dry places.
- 105:42 For he remembered his holy word,
- and Abraham, his servant.
- 105:43 He brought forth his people with joy,
- his chosen with singing.
- 105:44 He gave them the lands of the nations.
- They took the labor of the peoples in possession,
- 105:45 that they might keep his statutes,
- and observe his laws.
- Praise Yah!
