Psalms 105:21-30
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 105
21He made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions, 22To imprison his high officials at will, That he might teach his elders wisdom. 23Israel also came into Egypt; So Jacob lived in the land of Ham. 24And He made His people very fruitful, And made them stronger than their enemies. 25He turned their heart to hate His people, To deal cunningly with His servants. 26He sent His servant Moses, And Aaron, whom He had chosen. 27They performed His wondrous acts among them, And miracles in the land of Ham. 28He sent darkness and made it dark; And they did not rebel against His words. 29He turned their waters into blood, And caused their fish to die. 30Their land swarmed with frogs Even in the chambers of their kings.King James Version
Chapter 105
21He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance: 22To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom. 23Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. 24And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.
25He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
26He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.
27They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
29He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
30Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.
Christian Standard Bible
22binding his officials at will and instructing his elders.
23Then Israel went to Egypt; Jacob lived as an alien in the land of Ham.
24The Lord made his people very fruitful; he made them more numerous than their foes,
25whose hearts he turned to hate his people and to deal deceptively with his servants.
26He sent Moses his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27They performed his miraculous signs among them and wonders in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness, and it became dark -- for did they not defy his commands?
29He turned their water into blood and caused their fish to die.
30Their land was overrun with frogs, even in their royal chambers.
New Living Translation
Chapter 105
21Joseph was put in charge of all the king’s household; he became ruler over all the king’s possessions. 22He could instruct the king’s aides as he pleased and teach the king’s advisers.
23Then Israel arrived in Egypt; Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham.
24And the Lord multiplied the people of Israel until they became too mighty for their enemies.
25Then he turned the Egyptians against the Israelites, and they plotted against the Lord’s servants.
26But the Lord sent his servant Moses, along with Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27They performed miraculous signs among the Egyptians, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28The Lord blanketed Egypt in darkness, for they had defied his commands to let his people go.
29He turned their water into blood, poisoning all the fish.
30Then frogs overran the land and even invaded the king’s bedrooms.

26He sent Moses his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27They performed his signs among them, his wonders in the land of Ham.
