Psalm 105:1-6, 37-45

¹   O give thanks to the LORD, call on his name,
make known his deeds among the peoples.
²   Sing to him, sing praises to him;
tell of all his wonderful works.
³   Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
⁴   Seek the LORD and his strength;
seek his presence continually.
⁵   Remember the wonderful works he has done,
his miracles, and the judgments he has uttered,
⁶   O offspring of his servant Abraham,
children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

³⁷  Then he brought Israel out with silver and gold,
and there was no one among their tribes who stumbled.
³⁸  Egypt was glad when they departed,
for dread of them had fallen upon it.
³⁹  He spread a cloud for a covering,
and fire to give light by night.
⁴⁰  They asked, and he brought quails,
and gave them food from heaven in abundance.
⁴¹  He opened the rock, and water gushed out;
it flowed through the desert like a river.
⁴²  For he remembered his holy promise,
and Abraham, his servant.

⁴³  So he brought his people out with joy,
his chosen ones with singing.
⁴⁴  He gave them the lands of the nations,
and they took possession of the wealth of the peoples,
⁴⁵  that they might keep his statutes
and observe his laws.
Praise the LORD!
