Psalm 105:12-41
King James Version
Psalm 105:12-41
King James Version
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.

Psalm 105:12-41
New International Version
Psalm 105:12-41
New International Version
12 When they were but few in number,(A)
few indeed, and strangers in it,(B)
13 they wandered from nation to nation,(C)
from one kingdom to another.
14 He allowed no one to oppress(D) them;
for their sake he rebuked kings:(E)
15 “Do not touch(F) my anointed ones;
do my prophets(G) no harm.”
16 He called down famine(H) on the land
and destroyed all their supplies of food;
17 and he sent a man before them—
Joseph, sold as a slave.(I)
18 They bruised his feet with shackles,(J)
his neck was put in irons,
19 till what he foretold(K) came to pass,
till the word(L) of the Lord proved him true.
20 The king sent and released him,
the ruler of peoples set him free.(M)
21 He made him master of his household,
ruler over all he possessed,
22 to instruct his princes(N) as he pleased
and teach his elders wisdom.(O)
23 Then Israel entered Egypt;(P)
Jacob resided(Q) as a foreigner in the land of Ham.(R)
24 The Lord made his people very fruitful;
he made them too numerous(S) for their foes,
25 whose hearts he turned(T) to hate his people,
to conspire(U) against his servants.
26 He sent Moses(V) his servant,
and Aaron,(W) whom he had chosen.(X)
27 They performed(Y) his signs(Z) among them,
his wonders(AA) in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness(AB) and made the land dark—
for had they not rebelled against(AC) his words?
29 He turned their waters into blood,(AD)
causing their fish to die.(AE)
30 Their land teemed with frogs,(AF)
which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.
31 He spoke,(AG) and there came swarms of flies,(AH)
and gnats(AI) throughout their country.
32 He turned their rain into hail,(AJ)
with lightning throughout their land;
33 he struck down their vines(AK) and fig trees(AL)
and shattered the trees of their country.
34 He spoke,(AM) and the locusts came,(AN)
grasshoppers(AO) without number;(AP)
35 they ate up every green thing in their land,
ate up the produce of their soil.
36 Then he struck down all the firstborn(AQ) in their land,
the firstfruits of all their manhood.
37 He brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold,(AR)
and from among their tribes no one faltered.
38 Egypt was glad when they left,
because dread of Israel(AS) had fallen on them.
