Psalm 105
Bible in Basic English
1O give praise to the Lord; give honour to his name, talking of his doings among the peoples.
2Let your voice be sounding in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.
3Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad.
4Let your search be for the Lord and for his strength; let your hearts ever be turned to him.
5Keep in mind the great works which he has done; his wonders, and the decisions of his mouth;
6O you seed of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his loved ones.
7He is the Lord our God: he is judge of all the earth.
8He has kept his agreement in mind for ever, the word which he gave for a thousand generations;
9The agreement which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac;
10And he gave it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an eternal agreement;
11Saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan, the measured line of your heritage:
12When they were still small in number, and strange in the land;
13When they went about from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another people.
14He would not let anyone do them wrong; he even kept back kings because of them,
15Saying, Put not your hand on those who have been marked with my holy oil, and do my prophets no wrong.
