Psalm 105:23-45
New Living Translation
23 Then Israel arrived in Egypt;
Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham.
24 And the Lord multiplied the people of Israel
until they became too mighty for their enemies.
25 Then he turned the Egyptians against the Israelites,
and they plotted against the Lord’s servants.
26 But the Lord sent his servant Moses,
along with Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27 They performed miraculous signs among the Egyptians,
and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 The Lord blanketed Egypt in darkness,
for they had defied[a] his commands to let his people go.
29 He turned their water into blood,
poisoning all the fish.
30 Then frogs overran the land
and even invaded the king’s bedrooms.
31 When the Lord spoke, flies descended on the Egyptians,
and gnats swarmed across Egypt.
32 He sent them hail instead of rain,
and lightning flashed over the land.
33 He ruined their grapevines and fig trees
and shattered all the trees.
34 He spoke, and hordes of locusts came—
young locusts beyond number.
35 They ate up everything green in the land,
destroying all the crops in their fields.
36 Then he killed the oldest son in each Egyptian home,
the pride and joy of each family.
37 The Lord brought his people out of Egypt, loaded with silver and gold;
and not one among the tribes of Israel even stumbled.
38 Egypt was glad when they were gone,
for they feared them greatly.
39 The Lord spread a cloud above them as a covering
and gave them a great fire to light the darkness.
40 They asked for meat, and he sent them quail;
he satisfied their hunger with manna—bread from heaven.
41 He split open a rock, and water gushed out
to form a river through the dry wasteland.
42 For he remembered his sacred promise
to his servant Abraham.
43 So he brought his people out of Egypt with joy,
his chosen ones with rejoicing.
44 He gave his people the lands of pagan nations,
and they harvested crops that others had planted.
45 All this happened so they would follow his decrees
and obey his instructions.
Praise the Lord!

23 Then Israel entered Egypt;(A)
Jacob resided(B) as a foreigner in the land of Ham.(C)

25 whose hearts he turned(E) to hate his people,
to conspire(F) against his servants.
26 He sent Moses(G) his servant,
and Aaron,(H) whom he had chosen.(I)
27 They performed(J) his signs(K) among them,
his wonders(L) in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness(M) and made the land dark—
for had they not rebelled against(N) his words?
29 He turned their waters into blood,(O)
causing their fish to die.(P)
30 Their land teemed with frogs,(Q)
which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.
31 He spoke,(R) and there came swarms of flies,(S)
and gnats(T) throughout their country.
32 He turned their rain into hail,(U)
with lightning throughout their land;
33 he struck down their vines(V) and fig trees(W)
and shattered the trees of their country.
34 He spoke,(X) and the locusts came,(Y)
grasshoppers(Z) without number;(AA)
35 they ate up every green thing in their land,

the firstfruits of all their manhood.

and from among their tribes no one faltered.
38 Egypt was glad when they left,
because dread of Israel(AD) had fallen on them.
39 He spread out a cloud(AE) as a covering,
and a fire to give light at night.(AF)
40 They asked,(AG) and he brought them quail;(AH)
he fed them well with the bread of heaven.(AI)
41 He opened the rock,(AJ) and water gushed out;
it flowed like a river in the desert.
42 For he remembered his holy promise(AK)
given to his servant Abraham.
43 He brought out his people with rejoicing,(AL)
his chosen ones with shouts of joy;
44 he gave them the lands of the nations,(AM)
and they fell heir to what others had toiled(AN) for—
45 that they might keep his precepts
and observe his laws.(AO)
