Lyrics
1 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his
deeds among the people.
2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous
works.
3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek
the LORD.
4 Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and
the judgments of his mouth;
6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
7 He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he
commanded to a thousand generations.
9 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an
everlasting covenant:
11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your
inheritance:
12 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and
strangers in it.
13 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to
another people;
14 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for
their sakes;
15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole
staff of bread.
17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a
servant:
18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried
him.
20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and
let him go free.
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators
wisdom.
23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of
Ham.
24 And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than
their enemies.
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with
his servants.
26 He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.
27 They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against
his word.
29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of
their kings.
31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all
their coasts.
32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the
trees of their coasts.
34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that
without number,
35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the
fruit of their ground.
36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all
their strength.
37 He brought them 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 fell upon
them.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the
night.
40 The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with
the bread of heaven.
41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the
dry places like a river.
42 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with
gladness:
44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the
labour of the people;
45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise
ye the LORD.1

Bible

This historical psalm was
evidently composed by King David, for the first fifteen
verses of it were used as a hymn at the carrying up of
the ark from the house of Obededom, and we read in 1Ch
16:7, "Then on that day David delivered first this psalm
to thank the Lord, into the hand of Asaph and his
brethren."

National Hymn of Israel |
Psalm 105 is a national hymn
of Israel (see Ps. 78; 106). It illustrates God's dealings
with Israel from the times of Abraham and his descendants
down t the conquest of Canaan, with emphasis on the covenant
relationship between God and Israel. In the hymn Joseph is
presented as the connecting link between Egypt and Canaan.
The antique meter of the hymn marches on in a succession of
joyous couplets, majestic in their simple parallelism.3

Psalm in 1 Chronicles |
Verses 1-15 of this psalm are
practically identical with vs. 8-22 of the psalm recorded in
1 Chron. 16:8-36, which David
composed for the ceremony of enshrining the ark in
Jerusalem. Variations from the original form of the psalm
are probably accounted for by adaptation for liturgical use
at a later date. Ps. 105, 106 are companion psalms. he light
