Psalms 105
1 Give thanks to the LORD! Call on his name! Make his doings known among the peoples.
Give ye thanks to Yahweh, Call upon his Name, Make known, among the peoples, his doings;
2 Sing to him, sing praises to him! Tell of all his marvelous works.
Sing ye to him, Make ye music to him, Speak ye of all his wonders.
3 Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
Make your boast in his holy Name, Joyful be the heart of them who are seeking Yahweh.
4 Seek the LORD and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
Search out Yahweh and his strength, Seek diligently his face at all times.
5 Remember his marvelous works that he has done: his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
Remember his wonders which he hath done, His portents, and the just decisions of his mouth.
6 you offspring of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
O ye Seed of Abraham—his servants, Sons of Jacob—his chosen ones:
7 He is the LORD, our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
Yahweh himself, is our God, Through all the land, are his just decision.
8 He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
He hath remembered, unto times age-abiding, his covenant, The word he commanded, to a thousand generations;
9 the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac,
Which he solemnised with Abraham, and his oath, to Isaac;
10 and confirmed it to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
And confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel, as a covenant age-abiding;
11 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance,”
Saying, To thee, will I give the land of Canaan, As your inherited portion;
12 when they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
While as yet they were men easily counted, —A very few, and sojourners therein;
13 They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
And they wandered from nation to nation, From a kingdom, to another people.
14 He allowed no one to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
He suffered no son of earth to oppress them, And reproved—for their sakes—[even] kings!
15 “Do not touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”
Ye may not touch mine Anointed ones, And, to my Prophets, may ye do no wrong.
16 He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies.
Then called he a famine over the land, All the staff of bread, he brake;
17 He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave.
He sent before them a man, For a slave, was he sold—[even] Joseph;
18 They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons,
They forced, into a fetter, his foot, Into the iron, entered his soul;
19 until the time that his word happened, and the LORD’s word proved him true.
Until the time when his word came to pass, Speech of Yahweh, proved him;
20 The king sent and freed him, even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
The king sent, and set him free, One having dominion over peoples, yet loosed he his bonds;
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all of his possessions,
He appointed him lord to his household, And one having dominion over all he possessed;
22 to discipline his princes at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.
That he might bind his rulers as he pleased, And, his elders, he might embue with wisdom.
23 Israel also came into Egypt. Jacob lived in the land of Ham.
So Israel came into Egypt, And, Jacob, sojourned in the land of Ham;
24 He increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries.
And he made his people exceeding fruitful, —And caused them to become stronger than their adversaries.
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.
He let them turn their heart—To hate his people, To deal treacherously with his servants;
26 He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
He sent Moses his servant, Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27 They performed miracles among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
He set among them his threatening signs, And his wonders, in the land of Ham;
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark. They did not rebel against his words.
He sent darkness, and made it dark, But they rebelled against his words;
29 He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish.
He turned their waters into blood, And so caused their fish to die;
30 Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their kings.
Their land swarmed with frogs, In the chambers of their kings!
31 He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and lice in all their borders.
He spake, and there came in the gad-fly, Gnats, in all their bounds;
32 He gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land.
He made their showers—hail, A fire flaming throughout their land;
33 He struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country.
And he smote their vines, and their fig-trees, And brake in pieces the trees of their bounds;
34 He spoke, and the locusts came with the grasshoppers, without number.
He spake—then came the swarming locust, —The devouring locust, and that without number;
35 They ate up every plant in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.
And devoured all the herbage in their land, And devoured the fruit of their ground.
36 He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood.
Then smote he every firstborn in their land, The beginning of all their strength;
37 He brought them out with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person among his tribes.
Thus brought he them forth, with silver and gold, Nor was there, throughout his tribes, one that faltered;
38 Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen on them.
Egypt rejoiced when they went out, For the dread of them had fallen upon them.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the night.
He spread out a cloud as a covering, And fire, to give light by night,
40 They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of the sky.
They asked, and he brought in the quail, —And, with the bread of the heavens, he satisfied them;
41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places.
He opened the rock, and there gushed forth waters, They flowed along, through parched places, as a river;
42 For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.
For he remembered his holy word, With Abraham his servant.
43 He brought his people out with joy, his chosen with singing.
Thus brought he forth his people with gladness, —With shouts of triumph, his chosen ones;
44 He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession,
And gave them, the lands of the nations, And, of the toil of the peoples, took they possession:
45 that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise the LORD!
In order that they might observe his statutes, And, over his laws, might keep watch, Praise ye Yah.
