Psalms 105:3-30
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 105
3Boast in His holy name; May the heart of those who seek the Lord be joyful. 4Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face continually. 5Remember His wonders which He has done, His marvels and the judgments spoken by His mouth, 6You descendants of Abraham, His servant, You sons of Jacob, His chosen ones! 7He is the Lord our God; His judgments are in all the earth. 8He has remembered His covenant forever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations, 9 The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac. 10Then He confirmed it to Jacob as a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant, 11Saying, 'To you I will give the land of Canaan As the portion of your inheritance,' 12When they were only a few people in number, Very few, and strangers in it. 13And they wandered from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people, 14He allowed no one to oppress them, And He rebuked kings for their sakes, saying, 15'Do not touch My anointed ones, And do not harm My prophets.' 16And He called for a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread. 17He sent a man before them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave. 18They forced his feet into shackles, He was put in irons; 19Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of the Lord refined him. 20The king sent and released him, The ruler of peoples, and set him free. 21He made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions, 22To imprison his high officials at will, That he might teach his elders wisdom. 23Israel also came into Egypt; So Jacob lived in the land of Ham. 24And He made His people very fruitful, And made them stronger than their enemies. 25He turned their heart to hate His people, To deal cunningly with His servants. 26He sent His servant Moses, And Aaron, whom He had chosen. 27They performed His wondrous acts among them, And miracles in the land of Ham. 28He sent darkness and made it dark; And they did not rebel against His words. 29He turned their waters into blood, And caused their fish to die. 30Their land swarmed with frogs Even in the chambers of their kings.King James Version

Chapter 105
3Honor his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. 4Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. 5Remember the wondrous works he has done, his wonders, and the judgments he has pronounced,
6you offspring of Abraham his servant, Jacob’s descendants—his chosen ones.
7He is the Lord our God; his judgments govern the whole earth.
8He remembers his covenant forever, the promise he ordained for a thousand generations —
9the covenant he made with Abraham, swore to Isaac,
10and confirmed to Jacob as a decree and to Israel as a permanent covenant:
11"I will give the land of Canaan to you as your inherited portion."
12When they were few in number, very few indeed, and resident aliens in Canaan,
13wandering from nation to nation and from one kingdom to another,
14he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their behalf:
15"Do not touch my anointed ones, or harm my prophets."
16He called down famine against the land and destroyed the entire food supply.
17He had sent a man ahead of them— Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18They hurt his feet with shackles; his neck was put in an iron collar.
19Until the time his prediction came true, the word of the Lord tested him.
20The king sent for him and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.
21He made him master of his household, ruler over all his possessions —
22binding his officials at will and instructing his elders.
23Then Israel went to Egypt; Jacob lived as an alien in the land of Ham.
24The Lord made his people very fruitful; he made them more numerous than their foes,
25whose hearts he turned to hate his people and to deal deceptively with his servants.
26He sent Moses his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27They performed his miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness, and it became dark— for did they not defy his commands?
29He turned their water into blood and caused their fish to die.
30Their land was overrun with frogs, even in their royal chambers.
New Living Translation
Chapter 105
3Exult in his holy name; rejoice, you who worship the Lord. 4Search for the Lord and for his strength; continually seek him. 5Remember the wonders he has performed, his miracles, and the rulings he has given, 6you children of his servant Abraham, you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7He is the Lord our God. His justice is seen throughout the land.
8He always stands by his covenant — the commitment he made to a thousand generations.
9This is the covenant he made with Abraham and the oath he swore to Isaac.
10He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, and to the people of Israel as a never-ending covenant:
11'I will give you the land of Canaan as your special possession.'
12He said this when they were few in number, a tiny group of strangers in Canaan.
13They wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
14Yet he did not let anyone oppress them. He warned kings on their behalf:
15'Do not touch my chosen people, and do not hurt my prophets.'
16He called for a famine on the land of Canaan, cutting off its food supply.
17Then he sent someone to Egypt ahead of them — Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18They bruised his feet with fetters and placed his neck in an iron collar.
19Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the Lord tested Joseph’s character.
20Then Pharaoh sent for him and set him free; the ruler of the nation opened his prison door.
21Joseph was put in charge of all the king’s household; he became ruler over all the king’s possessions.
22He could instruct the king’s aides as he pleased and teach the king’s advisers.
23Then Israel arrived in Egypt; Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham.
24And the Lord multiplied the people of Israel until they became too mighty for their enemies.
25Then he turned the Egyptians against the Israelites, and they plotted against the Lord’s servants.
26But the Lord sent his servant Moses, along with Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27They performed miraculous signs among the Egyptians, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28The Lord blanketed Egypt in darkness, for they had defied his commands to let his people go.
29He turned their water into blood, poisoning all the fish.
30Then frogs overran the land and even invaded the king’s bedrooms.

Chapter 105
3Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice! 4Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually! 5Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered, 6O offspring of Abraham, his servant, children of Jacob, his chosen ones! 7He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth. 8He remembers his covenant forever, the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations, 9 the covenant that he made with Abraham, his sworn promise to Isaac, 10which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant, 11saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan as your portion for an inheritance." 12When they were few in number, of little account, and sojourners in it, 13wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people, 14he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their account, 15saying, "Touch not my anointed ones, do my prophets no harm!" 16When he summoned a famine on the land and broke all supply of bread, 17he had sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave. 18His feet were hurt with fetters; his neck was put in a collar of iron; 19until what he had said came to pass, the word of the Lord tested him. 20 The king sent and released him; the ruler of the peoples set him free; 21he made him lord of his house and ruler of all his possessions, 22to bind his princes at his pleasure and to teach his elders wisdom. 23Then Israel came to Egypt; Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. 24And the Lord made his people very fruitful and made them stronger than their foes. 25He turned their hearts to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants. 26He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen. 27 They performed his signs among them and miracles in the land of Ham. 28He sent darkness, and made the land dark; they did not rebel against his words. 29He turned their waters into blood and caused their fish to die. 30Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the chambers of their kings.New International Version
4Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.
5Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,
6you his servants, the descendants of Abraham, his chosen ones, the children of Jacob.
7He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
8He remembers his covenant forever, the promise he made, for a thousand generations,
9the covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac.
10He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
11"To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion you will inherit."
12When they were but few in number, few indeed, and strangers in it,
13they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
14He allowed no one to oppress them; for their sake he rebuked kings:
15"Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm."
16He called down famine on the land and destroyed all their supplies of food;
17and he sent a man before them— Joseph, sold as a slave.
18They bruised his feet with shackles, his neck was put in irons,
19till what he foretold came to pass, till the word of the Lord proved him true.
20The king sent and released him, the ruler of peoples set him free.
21He made him master of his household, ruler over all he possessed,
22to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.
23Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob resided as a foreigner in the land of Ham.
24The Lord made his people very fruitful; he made them too numerous for their foes,
25whose hearts he turned to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.
26He sent Moses his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27They performed his signs among them, his wonders in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness and made the land dark— for had they not rebelled against his words?
29He turned their waters into blood, causing their fish to die.
30Their land teemed with frogs, which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.
