Psalms, 105

New Jerusalem Bible

1 Alleluia! Give thanks to Yahweh, call on his name, proclaim his deeds to the peoples!

2 Sing to him, make music for him, recount all his wonders!

3 Glory in his holy name, let the hearts that seek Yahweh rejoice!

4 Seek Yahweh and his strength, tirelessly seek his presence!

5 Remember the marvels he has done, his wonders, the judgements he has spoken.

6 Stock of Abraham, his servant, children of Jacob whom he chose!

7 He is Yahweh our God, his judgements touch the whole world.

8 He remembers his covenant for ever, the promise he laid down for a thousand generations,

9 which he concluded with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac.

10 He established it as a statute for Jacob, an everlasting covenant with Israel,

11 saying, 'To you I give a land, Canaan, your allotted birthright.'

12 When they were insignificant in numbers, a handful of strangers in the land,

13 wandering from country to country, from one kingdom and nation to another,

14 he allowed no one to oppress them; for their sake he instructed kings,

15 'Do not touch my anointed ones, to my prophets you may do no harm.'

16 He called down famine on the land, he took away their food supply;

17 he sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, sold as a slave.

18 So his feet were weighed down with shackles, his neck was put in irons.

19 In due time his prophecy was fulfilled, the word of Yahweh proved him true.

20 The king sent orders to release him, the ruler of nations set him free;

21 he put him in charge of his household, the ruler of all he possessed,

22 to instruct his princes as he saw fit, to teach his counsellors wisdom.

23 Then Israel migrated to Egypt, Jacob settled in the country of Ham.

24 He made his people increase in numbers, he gave them more strength than their enemies,

25 whose heart he turned to hate his own people, to double-cross his servants.

26 He sent his servant Moses, and Aaron, the man of his choice.

27 They worked there the wonders he commanded, marvels in the country of Ham.

28 Darkness he sent, and darkness fell, but that nation defied his orders.

29 He turned their rivers to blood, and killed all the fish in them.

30 Their country was overrun with frogs, even in the royal apartments;

31 at his word came flies, and mosquitoes throughout the country.

32 He gave them hail as their rain, flames of fire in their land;

33 he blasted their vine and their fig tree, and shattered the trees of the country.

34 At his word came locusts, hoppers beyond all counting;

35 they devoured every green thing in the land, devoured all the produce of the soil.

36 He struck all the first-born in their land, the flower of all their manhood;

37 he led Israel out with silver and gold; in their tribes there was none who stumbled.

38 Egypt was glad at their leaving, for terror of Israel had seized them.

39 He spread out a cloud to cover them, and fire to light up the night.

40 They asked and he brought them quails, food from heaven to their hearts' content;

41 he opened a rock, the waters gushed out, and flowed in dry ground as a river.

42 Faithful to his sacred promise, given to his servant Abraham,

43 he led out his people with rejoicing, his chosen ones with shouts of joy.

44 He gave them the territories of nations, they reaped the fruit of other people's labours,

45 on condition that they kept his statutes, and remained obedient to his laws.

Psalm 105 is a song of praise that recalls God's wonders in favor of his people, from the choice of Abraham to the conquest of the promised land. The psalmist urges the people to always remember these wonders and to trust God in all the circumstances of life. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in this Psalm:

Genesis 12:2-3: "I will make a great nation; I will bless you and enhance your name; and you, be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; the families of the earth ". This verse shows the beginning of the history of God's people, with the choice of Abraham and the promise that through it all nations would be blessed.

Exodus 6:6-7: "Therefore, say to the children of Israel, I am the Lord. I shall take you out of the charges of the Egyptians, and deliver you from their servitude; and I will rescue you with extended arm and great judgments. I shall take you through my people, and shall be your God; and you will know that I am the Lord your God, that I will take away from the charges of the Egyptians. " This verse refers to the time when God freed the people of Israel from slavery in Egypt, fulfilling their promise to take care of them and be their God.

Deuteronomy 8:3: "He humbled you, and let you hungry, and sustained you with manna, that you did not know, nor your parents knew him; to make you imply that man will not live only bread, but that of all that comes out of the mouth of the Lord will live man. " This verse resembles the time when God sustained the people in the desert with manna, teaching them to depend on him for all things.

1 Chronicles 16:8-9: "surrender thanks to the Lord, invoke His name, make known among the peoples His works. Sing, Sing Him praises, speak of all their wonders." This verse encourages people to praise God and tell their wonders to others, just as Psalm 105 does.

Isaiah 43:2: "When passing through the waters, I will be with you, and when through the rivers, they will not submerge you; when you pass through fire, you will not burn you, nor the flame will burn in you." This verse speaks of God's faithfulness to protect his people in all situations, just as He did in leading Israel through the desert and in conquering the promised land.
