< Psalms 105 >
1 Alleluia. Give thanks to the Lord, and call upon his name; declare his works among the heathen.
Give ye thanks to Jehovah — call ye in His name, Make known among the peoples His acts.
2 Sing to him, yea, sing praises to him: tell forth all his wonderful works.
Sing ye to Him — sing praise to Him, Meditate ye on all His wonders.
3 Glory in his holy name: let the heart of them that seek the Lord rejoice.
Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking Jehovah rejoiceth.
4 Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened; seek his face continually.
Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek ye His face continually.
5 Remember his wonderful works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth.
6 [ye] seed of Abraam, his servants, [ye] children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
7 He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
He [is] Jehovah our God, In all the earth [are] His judgments.
8 He has remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded for a thousand generation:
He hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He commanded to a thousand generations,
9 which he established as a covenant to Abraam, and [he remembered] his oath to Isaac.
That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,
10 And he established it to Jacob for an ordinance, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant;
And doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel — a covenant age-during,
11 saying To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the line of your inheritance:
Saying, 'To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,'
12 when they were few in number, very few, and sojourners in it.
In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it.
13 And they went from nation to nation, and from [one] kingdom to another people.
And they go up and down, from nation unto nation, From a kingdom unto another people.
14 He suffered no man to wrong them; and he rebuked kings for their sakes:
He hath not suffered any to oppress them And He reproveth for their sakes kings.
15 [saying], Touch not my anointed ones; and do my prophets no harm.
'Strike not against Mine anointed, And to My prophets do not evil.'
16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole support of bread.
And He calleth a famine on the land, The whole staff of bread He hath broken.
17 He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a slave.
He hath sent before them a man, For a servant hath Joseph been sold.
18 They hurt his feet with fetters; his soul passed into iron,
They have afflicted with fetters his feet, Iron hath entered his soul,
19 until the time that his cause came on; the word of the Lord tried him as fire.
Till the time of the coming of His word The saying of Jehovah hath tried him.
20 The king sent and loosed him; [even] the prince of the people, and let him go free.
The king hath sent, and looseth him, The ruler of the peoples, and draweth him out.
21 He made him Lord over his house, and ruler of all his substance;
He hath made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions.
22 to chastise his rulers at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.
To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And his elders he maketh wise.
23 Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Cham.
And Israel cometh in to Egypt, And Jacob hath sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 And he increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their enemies.
And He maketh His people very fruitful, And maketh it mightier than its adversaries.
25 And he turned their heart to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants.
He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire against His servants.
26 He sent fort Moses his servant, [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.
He hath sent Moses His servant, Aaron whom He had fixed on.
27 He established among them his signs, and [his] wonders in the land of Cham.
They have set among them the matters of His signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent forth darkness, and made it dark; yet they rebelled against his words.
He hath sent darkness, and it is dark, And they have not provoked His word.

He hath turned their waters to blood, And putteth to death their fish.
30 Their land produced frogs abundantly, in the chambers of their kings.

31 He spoke, and the dog-fly came, and lice in all their coasts.
He hath said, and the beetle cometh, Lice into all their border.
32 He turned their rain into hail, [and sent] flaming fire in their land.
He hath made their showers hail, A flaming fire [is] in their land.
33 And he smote their vines and their fig trees; and broke every tree of their coast.
And He smiteth their vine and their fig, And shivereth the trees of their border.
34 He spoke, and the locust came, and caterpillars innumerable,
He hath said, and the locust cometh, And the cankerworm — innumerable,
35 and devoured all the grass in their land, and devoured the fruit of the ground.
And it consumeth every herb in their land, And it consumeth the fruit of their ground.
36 He smote also every first-born of their land, the first-fruits of all their labour.
And He smiteth every first-born in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,
37 And he brought them out with silver and gold; and there was not a feeble one among their tribes.
And bringeth them out with silver and gold, And there is not in its tribes a feeble one.

He hath opened a rock, and waters issue, They have gone on in dry places — a river.
42 For he remembered his holy word, which [he promised] to Abraam his servant.
For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant,
43 And he brought out his people with exultation, and his chosen with joy;
And He bringeth forth His people with joy, With singing His chosen ones.
44 and gave them the lands of the heathen; and they inherited the labours of the people;
And He giveth to them the lands of nations, And the labour of peoples they possess,
45 that they might keep his ordinances, and diligently seek his law.
That they may observe His statutes, And His laws may keep. Praise ye Jehovah!
