Psalm 105

1 O GIVE thanks unto the Lord, call upon His name, make known His doings among the peoples!2 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; meditate on and talk of all His marvelous deeds and devoutly praise them.3 Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those rejoice who seek and require the Lord [as their indispensable necessity].4 Seek, inquire of and for the Lord, and crave Him and His strength (His might and inflexibility to temptation); seek and require His face and His presence [continually] evermore.5 [Earnestly] remember the marvelous deeds that He has done, His miracles and wonders, the judgments and sentences which He pronounced [upon His enemies, as in Egypt]. 6 O you offspring of Abraham His servant, you children of Jacob, His chosen ones,7 He is the Lord our God; His judgments are in all the earth.8 He is [earnestly] mindful of His covenant and forever it is imprinted on His heart, the word which He commanded and established to a thousand generations,9 The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His sworn promise to Isaac, 10 Which He confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant,11 Saying, Unto you will I give the land of Canaan as your measured portion, possession, and inheritance.12 When they were but a few men in number, in fact, very few, and were temporary residents and strangers in it,13 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people,14 He allowed no man to do them wrong; in fact, He reproved kings for their sakes, 15 Saying, Touch not My anointed, and do My prophets no harm. 16 Moreover, He called for a famine upon the land [of Egypt]; He cut off every source of bread. 17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold as a servant. 18 His feet they hurt with fetters; he was laid in chains of iron and his soul entered into the iron,19 Until his word [to his cruel brothers] came true, until the word of the Lord tried and tested him.20 The king sent and loosed him, even the ruler of the peoples, and let him go free.21 He made Joseph lord of his house and ruler of all his substance, 22 To bind his princes at his pleasure and teach his elders wisdom.23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. 24 There [the Lord] greatly increased His people and made them stronger than their oppressors.25 He turned the hearts [of the Egyptians] to hate His people, to deal craftily with His servants.26 He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.27 They showed His signs among them, wonders and miracles in the land of Ham (Egypt).28 He sent [thick] darkness and made the land dark, and they [God’s two servants] rebelled not against His word. 29 He turned [Egypt’s] waters into blood and caused their fish to die. 30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, even in the chambers of their kings. 31 He spoke, and there came swarms of beetles and flies and mosquitoes and lice in all their borders. 32 He gave them hail for rain, with lightning like flaming fire in their land. 33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees and broke the [ice-laden] trees of their borders. 34 He spoke, and the locusts came, and the grasshoppers, and that without number, 35 And ate up all the vegetation in their land and devoured the fruit of their ground.36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the beginning and chief substance of all their strength. 37 He brought [Israel] forth also with silver and gold, and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. 38 Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen upon the people. 39 The Lord spread a cloud for a covering [by day], and a fire to give light in the night. 40 [The Israelites] asked, and He brought quails and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. 41 He opened the rock, and water gushed out; it ran in the dry places like a river. 42 For He [earnestly] remembered His holy word and promise to Abraham His servant. 43 And He brought forth His people with joy, and His chosen ones with gladness and singing,44 And gave them the lands of the nations [of Canaan], and they reaped the fruits of those peoples’ labor, 45 That they might observe His statutes and keep His laws [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying them]. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)

Psalm 106

1 PRAISE THE Lord! (Hallelujah!) O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever! 2 Who can put into words and tell the mighty deeds of the Lord? Or who can show forth all the praise [that is due Him]?3 Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are those who observe justice [treating others fairly] and who do right and are in right standing with God at all times.4 [Earnestly] remember me, O Lord, when You favor Your people! O visit me also when You deliver them, and grant me Your salvation!--5 That I may see and share the welfare of Your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, that I may glory with Your heritage.6 We have sinned, as did also our fathers; we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. 7 Our fathers in Egypt understood not nor appreciated Your miracles; they did not [earnestly] remember the multitude of Your mercies nor imprint Your loving-kindness [on their hearts], but they were rebellious and provoked the Lord at the sea, even at the Red Sea. 8 Nevertheless He saved them for His name’s sake [to prove the righteousness of the divine character], that He might make His mighty power known.9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it dried up; so He led them through the depths as through a pastureland. 10 And He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the [Egyptian] enemy. 11 And the waters covered their adversaries; not one of them was left. 12 Then [Israel] believed His words [trusting in, relying on them]; they sang His praise.13 But they hastily forgot His works; they did not [earnestly] wait for His plans [to develop] regarding them,14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness and tempted and tried to restrain God [with their insistent desires] in the desert. 15 And He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their souls and [thinned their numbers by] disease and death. 16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron [the high priest], the holy one of the Lord. 17 Therefore the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and closed over the company of Abiram. 18 And a fire broke out in their company; the flame burned up the wicked. 19 They made a calf in Horeb and worshiped a molten image. 20 Thus they exchanged Him Who was their Glory for the image of an ox that eats grass [they traded their Honor for the image of a calf]!21 They forgot God their Savior, Who had done such great things in Egypt,22 Wonders and miracles in the land of Ham, dreadful and awesome things at the Red Sea.23 Therefore He said He would destroy them. [And He would have done so] had not Moses, His chosen one, stepped into the breach before Him to turn away His threatening wrath. 24 Then they spurned and despised the pleasant and desirable land [Canaan]; they believed not His word [neither trusting in, relying on, nor holding to it];25 But they murmured in their tents and hearkened not to the voice of the Lord.26 Therefore He lifted up His hand [as if taking an oath] against them, that He would cause them to fall in the wilderness,27 Cast out their descendants among the nations, and scatter them in the lands [of the earth].28 They joined themselves also to the [idol] Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices [offered] to the lifeless [gods].29 Thus they provoked the Lord to anger with their practices, and a plague broke out among them.30 Then stood up Phinehas [the priest] and executed judgment, and so the plague was stayed. 31 And that was credited to him for righteousness (right doing and right standing with God) to all generations forever.32 They angered the Lord also at the waters of Meribah, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes; 33 For they provoked [Moses’] spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.34 They did not destroy the [heathen] nations as the Lord commanded them,35 But mingled themselves with the [idolatrous] nations and learned their ways and works36 And served their idols, which were a snare to them.37 Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons 38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with their blood.39 Thus were they defiled by their own works, and they played the harlot and practiced idolatry with their own deeds [of idolatrous rites].40 Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against His people, insomuch that He abhorred and rejected His own heritage. 41 And He gave them into the hands of the [heathen] nations, and they that hated them ruled over them.42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under the hand of their foes.43 Many times did [God] deliver them, but they were rebellious in their counsel and sank low through their iniquity.44 Nevertheless He regarded their distress when He heard their cry;45 And He [earnestly] remembered for their sake His covenant and relented their sentence of evil [comforting and easing Himself] according to the abundance of His mercy and loving-kindness [when they cried out to Him].46 He also caused [Israel] to find sympathy among those who had carried them away captive.47 Deliver us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name and glory in praising You.48 Blessed (affectionately and gratefully praised) be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, Amen! Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)

Psalm 107

1 O GIVE thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever!2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has delivered from the hand of the adversary,3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the [Red] Sea in the south.4 Some wandered in the wilderness in a solitary desert track; they found no city for habitation.5 Hungry and thirsty, they fainted; their lives were near to being extinguished.6 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses.7 He led them forth by the straight and right way, that they might go to a city where they could establish their homes.8 Oh, that men would praise [and confess to] the Lord for His goodness and loving-kindness and His wonderful works to the children of men!9 For He satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry soul with good.10 Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and in irons, 11 Because they had rebelled against the words of God and spurned the counsel of the Most High.12 Therefore He bowed down their hearts with hard labor; they stumbled and fell down, and there was none to help.13 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses.14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death and broke apart the bonds that held them. 15 Oh, that men would praise [and confess to] the Lord for His goodness and loving-kindness and His wonderful works to the children of men!16 For He has broken the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron apart.17 Some are fools [made ill] because of the way of their transgressions and are afflicted because of their iniquities.18 They loathe every kind of food, and they draw near to the gates of death.19 Then they cry to the Lord in their trouble, and He delivers them out of their distresses.20 He sends forth His word and heals them and rescues them from the pit and destruction. 21 Oh, that men would praise [and confess to] the Lord for His goodness and loving-kindness and His wonderful works to the children of men! 22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving and rehearse His deeds with shouts of joy and singing!23 Some go down to the sea and travel over it in ships to do business in great waters;24 These see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep.25 For He commands and raises up the stormy wind, which lifts up the waves of the sea.26 [Those aboard] mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the deeps; their courage melts away because of their plight.27 They reel to and fro and stagger like a drunken man and are at their wits’ end [all their wisdom has come to nothing].28 Then they cry to the Lord in their trouble, and He brings them out of their distresses.29 He hushes the storm to a calm and to a gentle whisper, so that the waves of the sea are still. 30 Then the men are glad because of the calm, and He brings them to their desired haven.31 Oh, that men would praise [and confess to] the Lord for His goodness and loving-kindness and His wonderful works to the children of men!32 Let them exalt Him also in the congregation of the people and praise Him in the company of the elders.33 He turns rivers into a wilderness, water springs into a thirsty ground, 34 A fruitful land into a barren, salt waste, because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it. 35 He turns a wilderness into a pool of water and a dry ground into water springs; 36 And there He makes the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation,37 And sow fields, and plant vineyards which yield fruits of increase.38 He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly, and allows not their cattle to decrease.39 When they are diminished and bowed down through oppression, trouble, and sorrow,40 He pours contempt upon princes and causes them to wander in waste places where there is no road.41 Yet He raises the poor and needy from affliction and makes their families like a flock.42 The upright shall see it and be glad, but all iniquity shall shut its mouth.43 Whoso is wise [if there be any truly wise] will observe and heed these things; and they will diligently consider the mercy and loving-kindness of the Lord.
