Psalm 105:23-38
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
V
23 Then Israel entered Egypt;(A)
Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.[a]
24 God greatly increased his people,
made them more numerous than their foes.(B)
25 He turned their hearts to hate his people,
to treat his servants deceitfully.(C)
26 He sent his servant Moses,
and Aaron whom he had chosen.(D)
27 [b]They worked his signs in Egypt(E)
and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness and it grew dark,
but they rebelled against his word.
29 He turned their waters into blood
and killed their fish.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs,
even the chambers of their kings.
31 He spoke and there came swarms of flies,
gnats through all their country.
32 For rain he gave them hail,
flashes of lightning throughout their land.
33 He struck down their vines and fig trees,
shattered the trees of their country.
34 He spoke and the locusts came,
grasshoppers without number.(F)
35 They devoured every plant in the land;
they devoured the crops of their fields.
36 He struck down every firstborn in the land,
the first fruits of all their vigor.
37 He brought his people out,
laden with silver and gold;(G)
no one among the tribes stumbled.
38 Egypt rejoiced when they left,
for fear had seized them.

Psalm 105:23-38
New International Version
23 Then Israel entered Egypt;(A)
Jacob resided(B) as a foreigner in the land of Ham.(C)
24 The Lord made his people very fruitful;
he made them too numerous(D) for their foes,
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,
ate up the produce of their soil.
36 Then he struck down all the firstborn(AB) in their land,
the firstfruits of all their manhood.
37 He brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold,(AC)
and from among their tribes no one faltered.
38 Egypt was glad when they left,
because dread of Israel(AD) had fallen on them.
