Psalm 105

The Psalm

Psalms. Chapter 105. Give thanks to the LORD! Call on his name! Make his doings known amongst the peoples. Sing to him, sing praises to him! Tell of all his marvellous works. Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice. Seek the LORD and his strength. Seek his face forever more. Remember his marvellous works that he has done: his wonders, and the judgements of his mouth, you offspring of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones. He is the LORD, our God. His judgements are in all the earth. He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac, and confirmed it to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant, saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance,” when they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it. They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people. He allowed no one to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes, “Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!” He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies. He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave. They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons, until the time that his word happened, and the LORD’s word proved him true. The king sent and freed him, even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free. He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all of his possessions, to discipline his princes at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom. Israel also came into Egypt. Jacob lived in the land of Ham. He increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries. He turned their heart to hate his people, to conspire against his servants. He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen. They performed miracles amongst them, and wonders in the land of Ham. He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn’t rebel against his words. He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish. Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their kings. He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and lice in all their borders. He gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land. He struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country. He spoke, and the locusts came with the grasshoppers, without number. They ate up every plant in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground. He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood. He brought them out with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person amongst his tribes. Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen on them. He spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the night. They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of the sky. He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places. For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant. He brought his people out with joy, his chosen with singing. He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labour of the peoples in possession, that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise the LORD!

Worship Lyrics

Give thanks to the LORD
Call on his name
Make his doings known amongst the peoples
Sing to him, sing praises to him
Tell of all his marvellous works
Glory in his holy name
Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice
Seek the LORD and his strength
Seek his face forever more
Remember his marvellous works that he has done: his wonders
And the judgements of his mouth
You offspring of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones
He is the LORD, our God
His judgements are in all the earth
He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations
The covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac
And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant
Saying, To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance
When they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it
They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people
He allowed no one to do them wrong
Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes
Dont touch my anointed ones
Do my prophets no harm
He called for a famine on the land
He destroyed the food supplies
He sent a man before them
Joseph was sold for a slave
They bruised his feet with shackles
His neck was locked in irons
Until the time that his word happened, and the LORDs word proved him true
The king sent and freed him, even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free
He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all of his possessions
To discipline his princes at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom
Israel also came into Egypt
Jacob lived in the land of Ham
He increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries
He turned their heart to hate his people, to conspire against his servants
He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen
They performed miracles amongst them, and wonders in the land of Ham
He sent darkness, and made it dark
They didnt rebel against his words
He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish
Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their kings
He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and lice in all their borders
He gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land
He struck their vines and also their fig trees
And shattered the trees of their country
He spoke, and the locusts came with the grasshoppers, without number
They ate up every plant in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground
He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood
He brought them out with silver and gold
There was not one feeble person amongst his tribes
Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen on them
He spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the night
They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of the sky
He opened the rock, and waters gushed out
They ran as a river in the dry places
For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant
He brought his people out with joy, his chosen with singing
He gave them the lands of the nations
They took the labour of the peoples in possession
That they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws
Praise the LORD
