Psalms 105
1 Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, and invoke his name. Announce his works among the nations.
Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known among the peoples his doings.
2 Sing to him, and sing psalms to him. Describe all his wonders.
Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; Talk ye of all his marvellous works.
3 Be praised in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
Glory ye in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
4 Seek the Lord, and be confirmed. Seek his face always.
Seek ye Jehovah and his strength; Seek his face evermore.
5 Remember his miracles, which he has done, his portents and the judgments of his mouth:
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
6 you offspring of Abraham his servant, you sons of Jacob his elect.
O ye seed of Abraham his servant, Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7 He is the Lord our God. His judgments are throughout the entire earth.
He is Jehovah our God: His judgments are in all the earth.
8 He has remembered his covenant for all ages: the word that he entrusted to a thousand generations,
He hath remembered his covenant for ever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
9 which he assigned to Abraham, and his oath to Isaac.
[The covenant] which he made with Abraham, And his oath unto Isaac,
10 And he stationed the same for Jacob with a precept, and for Israel with an eternal testament,
And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
11 saying: To you, I will give the land of Canaan, the allotment of your inheritance.
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;
12 Though they may have been but a small number, very few and foreigners there,
When they were but a few men in number, Yea, very few, and sojourners in it.
13 and though they passed from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people,
And they went about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people.
14 he allowed no man to harm them, and he reproved kings on their behalf.
He suffered no man to do them wrong; Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
15 Do not be willing to touch my Christ, and do not be willing to malign my prophets.
[Saying], Touch not mine anointed ones, And do my prophets no harm.
16 And he called a famine upon the land, and he crushed every foundation of the bread.

17 He sent a man before them: Joseph, who had been sold as a slave.
He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant:
18 They humbled his feet in shackles; the iron pierced his soul,
His feet they hurt with fetters: He was laid in [chains of] iron,
19 until his word arrived. The eloquence of the Lord inflamed him.
Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of Jehovah tried him.
20 The king sent and released him; he was the ruler of the people, and he dismissed him.
The king sent and loosed him; Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
21 He established him as master of his house and ruler of all his possessions,
He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all his substance;
22 so that he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his elders prudence.
To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his elders wisdom.
23 And Israel entered into Egypt, and Jacob became a sojourner in the land of Ham.

He turned their heart to hate his people, To deal subtly with his servants.
26 He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, the one whom he chose.
He sent Moses his servant, [And] Aaron whom he had chosen.

28 He sent darkness and made it conceal, and he did not afflict them with his speech.
He sent darkness, and made it dark; And they rebelled not against his words.

32 He gave them a shower of hail and a burning fire, in the same land.
He gave them hail for rain, [And] flaming fire in their land.
33 And he struck their vineyards and their fig trees, and he crushed the trees of their region.
He smote their vines also and their fig-trees, And brake the trees of their borders.
34 He spoke, and the locust came forth, and the caterpillar, of which there was no number.
He spake, and the locust came, And the grasshopper, and that without number,
35 And it devoured all the grass in their land, and it consumed all the fruit of their land.
And did eat up every herb in their land, And did eat up the fruit of their ground.
36 And he struck all the first-born in their land, the first-fruits of all their labor.
He smote also all the first-born in their land, The chief of all their strength.

They asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 He ruptured the rock and the waters flowed: rivers gushed in the dry land.
He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; They ran in the dry places [like] a river.
42 For he had called to mind his holy word, which he kept near to his servant Abraham.
For he remembered his holy word, [And] Abraham his servant.
43 And he led forth his people in exultation, and his elect in rejoicing.
And he brought forth his people with joy, [And] his chosen with singing.
44 And he gave them the regions of the Gentiles, and they possessed the labors of the peoples,
And he gave them the lands of the nations; And they took the labor of the peoples in possession:
45 so that they might observe his justifications, and inquire about his law.
That they might keep his statutes, And observe his laws. Praise ye Jehovah.
