Psa. 105:1‑15• 1Give ye thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; make known his acts among the peoples.
 2Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him; meditate upon all his wondrous works.
 3Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
 4Seek Jehovah and his strength, seek his face continually;
 5Remember his wondrous works which he hath done, his miracles and the judgments of his mouth:
 6Ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.
 7He, Jehovah, is our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
 8He is ever mindful of his covenant,--the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,--
 9Which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;
 10And he confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, unto Israel for an everlasting covenant,
 11Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;
 12When they were a few men in number, of small account, and strangers in it.
 13And they went from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
 14He suffered no man to oppress them, and reproved kings for their sakes,
 15Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones, and do my prophets no harm. (Psa. 105:1‑15)
