Psalms 105
1 Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, and invoke his name. Announce his works among the nations.
| הודו ליהוה קראו בשמו הודיעו בעמים עלילותיו |
2 Sing to him, and sing psalms to him. Describe all his wonders.
| שירו-לו זמרו-לו שיחו בכל-נפלאותיו |
3 Be praised in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
| התהללו בשם קדשו ישמח לב מבקשי יהוה |
4 Seek the Lord, and be confirmed. Seek his face always.
| דרשו יהוה ועזו בקשו פניו תמיד |
5 Remember his miracles, which he has done, his portents and the judgments of his mouth:
| זכרו--נפלאותיו אשר-עשה מפתיו ומשפטי-פיו |
6 you offspring of Abraham his servant, you sons of Jacob his elect.
| זרע אברהם עבדו בני יעקב בחיריו |
7 He is the Lord our God. His judgments are throughout the entire earth.
| הוא יהוה אלהינו בכל-הארץ משפטיו |
8 He has remembered his covenant for all ages: the word that he entrusted to a thousand generations,
| זכר לעולם בריתו דבר צוה לאלף דור |
9 which he assigned to Abraham, and his oath to Isaac.
| אשר כרת את-אברהם ושבועתו לישחק |
10 And he stationed the same for Jacob with a precept, and for Israel with an eternal testament,
| ויעמידה ליעקב לחק לישראל ברית עולם |
11 saying: To you, I will give the land of Canaan, the allotment of your inheritance.
| לאמר--לך אתן את-ארץ-כנען חבל נחלתכם |
12 Though they may have been but a small number, very few and foreigners there,
| בהיותם מתי מספר כמעט וגרים בה |
13 and though they passed from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people,
| ויתהלכו מגוי אל-גוי מממלכה אל-עם אחר |
14 he allowed no man to harm them, and he reproved kings on their behalf.
| לא-הניח אדם לעשקם ויוכח עליהם מלכים |
15 Do not be willing to touch my Christ, and do not be willing to malign my prophets.
| אל-תגעו במשיחי ולנביאי אל-תרעו |
16 And he called a famine upon the land, and he crushed every foundation of the bread.
| ויקרא רעב על-הארץ כל-מטה-לחם שבר |
17 He sent a man before them: Joseph, who had been sold as a slave.
| שלח לפניהם איש לעבד נמכר יוסף |
18 They humbled his feet in shackles; the iron pierced his soul,
| ענו בכבל רגליו (רגלו) ברזל באה נפשו |
19 until his word arrived. The eloquence of the Lord inflamed him.
| עד-עת בא-דברו-- אמרת יהוה צרפתהו |
20 The king sent and released him; he was the ruler of the people, and he dismissed him.
| שלח מלך ויתירהו משל עמים ויפתחהו |
21 He established him as master of his house and ruler of all his possessions,
| שמו אדון לביתו ומשל בכל-קנינו |
22 so that he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his elders prudence.
| לאסר שריו בנפשו וזקניו יחכם |
23 And Israel entered into Egypt, and Jacob became a sojourner in the land of Ham.
| ויבא ישראל מצרים ויעקב גר בארץ-חם |
24 And he helped his people greatly, and he strengthened them over their enemies.
| ויפר את-עמו מאד ויעצמהו מצריו |
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, and to deal deceitfully with his servants.
| הפך לבם לשנא עמו להתנכל בעבדיו |
26 He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, the one whom he chose.
| שלח משה עבדו אהרן אשר בחר-בו |
27 He placed with them signs of his word, and portents in the land of Ham.
| שמו-בם דברי אתותיו ומפתים בארץ חם |
28 He sent darkness and made it conceal, and he did not afflict them with his speech.
| שלח חשך ויחשך ולא-מרו את-דבריו (דברו) |
29 He turned their waters into blood, and he slaughtered their fish.
| הפך את-מימיהם לדם וימת את-דגתם |
30 Their land brought forth frogs, even in the inner chambers of their kings.
| שרץ ארצם צפרדעים בחדרי מלכיהם |
31 He spoke, and there came forth common flies and gnats, in every region.
| אמר ויבא ערב כנים בכל-גבולם |
32 He gave them a shower of hail and a burning fire, in the same land.
| נתן גשמיהם ברד אש להבות בארצם |
33 And he struck their vineyards and their fig trees, and he crushed the trees of their region.
| ויך גפנם ותאנתם וישבר עץ גבולם |
34 He spoke, and the locust came forth, and the caterpillar, of which there was no number.
| אמר ויבא ארבה וילק ואין מספר |
35 And it devoured all the grass in their land, and it consumed all the fruit of their land.
| ויאכל כל-עשב בארצם ויאכל פרי אדמתם |
36 And he struck all the first-born in their land, the first-fruits of all their labor.
| ויך כל-בכור בארצם ראשית לכל-אונם |
37 And he led them out with silver and gold, and there was not an infirm one among their tribes.
| ויוציאם בכסף וזהב ואין בשבטיו כושל |
38 Egypt was joyful at their departure, for the fear of them lay heavy upon them.
| שמח מצרים בצאתם כי-נפל פחדם עליהם |
39 He spread a cloud for their protection, and a fire, to give them light through the night.
| פרש ענן למסך ואש להאיר לילה |
40 They petitioned, and the quail came; and he satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
| שאל ויבא שלו ולחם שמים ישביעם |
41 He ruptured the rock and the waters flowed: rivers gushed in the dry land.
| פתח צור ויזובו מים הלכו בציות נהר |
42 For he had called to mind his holy word, which he kept near to his servant Abraham.
| כי-זכר את-דבר קדשו את-אברהם עבדו |
43 And he led forth his people in exultation, and his elect in rejoicing.
| ויוצא עמו בששון ברנה את-בחיריו |
44 And he gave them the regions of the Gentiles, and they possessed the labors of the peoples,
| ויתן להם ארצות גוים ועמל לאמים יירשו |
45 so that they might observe his justifications, and inquire about his law.
| בעבור ישמרו חקיו-- ותורתיו ינצרו הללו-יה |
