Psalm 105:1-15

New Living Translation

Psalm 105

¹Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness.
    Let the whole world know what he has done.
²Sing to him; yes, sing his praises.
    Tell everyone about his wonderful deeds.
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.”
