Psalm 105

Remember His Wondrous Deeds

Oh give thanks to Yahweh, call upon His name;
Make known His acts among the peoples.
2
Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;
Muse on all His wondrous deeds.
3
Boast in His holy name;
Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh be glad.
4
Inquire of Yahweh and His strength;
Seek His face continually.
5
Remember His wondrous deeds which He has done,
His miracles and the judgments uttered by His mouth,
6
O seed of Abraham, His servant,
O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!
7
He is Yahweh our God;
His judgments are in all the earth.

8
He has remembered His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded for a thousand generations,
9
Which He cut with Abraham,
And His oath to Isaac.
10
Then He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
11
Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan
As the portion of your inheritance,”
12
When they were only a few men in number,
Of little account, and sojourners in it.
13
And they wandered about from nation to nation,
From one kingdom to another people.
14
He permitted no man to oppress them,
And He reproved kings for their sakes:
15
“Do not touch My anointed ones,
And to My prophets do no evil.”

16
And He called for a famine upon the land;
He broke the whole staff of bread.
17
He sent a man before them,
Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18
They afflicted his feet with fetters,
He himself was laid in irons;
19
Until the time that his word came to pass,
The word of Yahweh refined him.
20
The king sent and released him,
The ruler of peoples sent and set him free.
21
He set him up as lord of his house
And ruler over all his possessions,
22
To imprison his princes at will,
And that he might teach his elders wisdom.
23
Then Israel came to Egypt;
And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24
And He caused His people to be very fruitful,
And He caused them to be stronger than their adversaries.

25
He turned their heart to hate His people,
To deal craftily with His slaves.
26
He sent Moses His servant,
And Aaron, whom He had chosen.
27
They set forth the words of His signs among them,
And miracles in the land of Ham.
28
He sent darkness and made it dark;
And they did not rebel against His words.
29
He turned their waters into blood
And caused their fish to die.
30
Their land swarmed with frogs
Even in the chambers of their kings.
31
He spoke, and there came a swarm of flies
And gnats in all their territory.
32
He gave them hail for rain,
And flaming fire in their land.
33
He also struck down their vines and their fig trees,
And He shattered the trees of their territory.
34
He spoke, and locusts came,
And creeping locusts, without number,
35
And they ate up all vegetation in their land,
And they ate up the fruit of their ground.
36
He also struck down all the firstborn in their land,
The first of all their vigor.

37
Then He brought them out with silver and gold,
And there was none among His tribes who stumbled.
38
Egypt was glad when they went out,
For the dread of them had fallen upon them.
39
He spread a cloud for a covering,
And fire to give light by night.
40
They asked, and He brought quail,
And He satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41
He opened the rock and water flowed out;
It ran in the dry places like a river.
42
For He remembered His holy word
With Abraham His servant;
43
And He brought His people out with joy,
His chosen ones with a shout of joy.
44
He gave them also the lands of the nations,
That they might take possession of the fruit of the peoples’ labor,
45
So that they might keep His statutes
And observe His laws,
Praise Yah!

Psalm 96

Ascribe to Yahweh Glory and Strength

Sing to Yahweh a new song;
Sing to Yahweh, all the earth.
2
Sing to Yahweh, bless His name;
Proclaim good news of His salvation from day to day.
3
Recount His glory among the nations,
His wondrous deeds among all the peoples.
4
For great is Yahweh and greatly to be praised;
He is more fearsome than all gods.
5
For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
But Yahweh made the heavens.
6
Splendor and majesty are before Him,
Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

7
Ascribe to Yahweh, O families of the peoples,
Ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.
8
Ascribe to Yahweh the glory of His name;
Lift up an offering and come into His courts.
9
Worship Yahweh in the splendor of holiness;
Tremble before Him, all the earth.
10
Say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns;
Indeed, the world is established, it will not be shaken;
He will render justice to the peoples with equity.”

11
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
Let the sea roar, as well as its fullness;
12
Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy
13
Before Yahweh, for He is coming,
For He is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
And the peoples in His faithfulness.

1 Chronicles 16:7 - 16:36

7 Then on that day David first assigned Asaph and his relatives to give thanks to Yahweh.

Song of Thanksgiving

8
Oh give thanks to Yahweh, call upon His name;
Make known His acts among the peoples.
9
Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;
Muse on all His wondrous deeds.
10
Boast in His holy name;
Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh be glad.
11
Inquire of Yahweh and His strength;
Seek His face continually.
12
Remember His wondrous deeds which He has done,
His miraculous signs and the judgments uttered by His mouth,
13
O seed of Israel His servant,
O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!
14
He is Yahweh our God;
His judgments are in all the earth.
15
Remember His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded for a thousand generations,
16
Which He cut with Abraham,
And His oath to Isaac.
17
Then He also confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
18
Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan,
As the portion of your inheritance,”
19
When you were only a few men in number,
Of little account, and sojourners in it,
20
And they wandered about from nation to nation,
And from one kingdom to another people,
21
He permitted no man to oppress them,
And He reproved kings for their sakes,
22
“Do not touch My anointed ones,
And against My prophets do no evil.”
23
Sing to Yahweh, all the earth;
Proclaim good news of His salvation from day to day.
24
Recount His glory among the nations,
His wondrous deeds among all the peoples.
25
For great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised;
And He is more fearsome than all gods.
26
For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
But Yahweh made the heavens.
27
Splendor and majesty are before Him,
Strength and joy are in His place.
28
Ascribe to Yahweh, O families of the peoples,
Ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.
29
Ascribe to Yahweh the glory of His name;
Lift up an offering, and come before Him;
Worship Yahweh in the splendor of holiness.
30
Tremble before Him, all the earth;
Indeed, the world is established, it will not be shaken.
31
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
And let them say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns.”
32
Let the sea roar, as well as its fullness;
Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
33
Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before Yahweh;
For He is coming to judge the earth.
34
Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good,
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
35
Then say, “Save us, O God of our salvation,
And gather us and deliver us from among the nations,
To give thanks to Your holy name
And revel in Your praise.”
36
Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel,
From everlasting to everlasting.
Then all the people said, “Amen,” and praised Yahweh.
