Psalm 105:5-24 (NIV) (2024)

⁵Remember the wonders^(A) he has done,
his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,^(B)
6you his servants, the descendants of Abraham,^(C)
his chosen^(D) ones, the children of Jacob.
⁷He is the Lord our God;
his judgments are in all the earth.

⁸He remembers his covenant^(E) forever,
the promise he made, for a thousand generations,
⁹the covenant he made with Abraham,^(F)
the oath he swore to Isaac.
¹⁰He confirmed it^(G) to Jacob as a decree,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant:^(H)
11“To you I will give the land of Canaan^(I)
as the portion you will inherit.”^(J)

¹²When they were but few in number,^(K)
few indeed, and strangers in it,^(L)
13they wandered from nation to nation,^(M)
from one kingdom to another.
¹⁴He allowed no one to oppress^(N) them;
for their sake he rebuked kings:^(O)
15“Do not touch^(P) my anointed ones;
do my prophets^(Q) no harm.”

¹⁶He called down famine^(R) on the land
and destroyed all their supplies of food;
¹⁷and he sent a man before them—
Joseph, sold as a slave.^(S)
18They bruised his feet with shackles,^(T)
his neck was put in irons,
¹⁹till what he foretold^(U) came to pass,
till the word^(V) of the Lord proved him true.
²⁰The king sent and released him,
the ruler of peoples set him free.^(W)
21He made him master of his household,
ruler over all he possessed,
²²to instruct his princes^(X) as he pleased
and teach his elders wisdom.^(Y)

²³Then Israel entered Egypt;^(Z)
Jacob resided^(AA) as a foreigner in the land of Ham.^(AB)
24The Lord made his people very fruitful;
he made them too numerous^(AC) for their foes,
