Psalms 105
1 Give ye thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; make known his acts among the peoples.
| הודו ליהוה קראו בשמו הודיעו בעמים עלילותיו׃ |
2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him; meditate upon all his wondrous works.
| שירו לו זמרו לו שיחו בכל נפלאותיו׃ |
3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
| התהללו בשם קדשו ישמח לב מבקשי יהוה׃ |
4 Seek Jehovah and his strength, seek his face continually;
| דרשו יהוה ועזו בקשו פניו תמיד׃ |
5 Remember his wondrous works which he hath done, his miracles and the judgments of his mouth:
| זכרו נפלאותיו אשר עשה מפתיו ומשפטי פיו׃ |
6 Ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.
| זרע אברהם עבדו בני יעקב בחיריו׃ |
7 He, Jehovah, is our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
| הוא יהוה אלהינו בכל הארץ משפטיו׃ |
8 He is ever mindful of his covenant, — the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, —
| זכר לעולם בריתו דבר צוה לאלף דור׃ |
9 Which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;
| אשר כרת את אברהם ושבועתו לישחק׃ |
10 And he confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, unto Israel for an everlasting covenant,
| ויעמידה ליעקב לחק לישראל ברית עולם׃ |
11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;
| לאמר לך אתן את ארץ כנען חבל נחלתכם׃ |
12 When they were a few men in number, of small account, and strangers in it.
| בהיותם מתי מספר כמעט וגרים בה׃ |
13 And they went from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
| ויתהלכו מגוי אל גוי מממלכה אל עם אחר׃ |
14 He suffered no man to oppress them, and reproved kings for their sakes,
| לא הניח אדם לעשקם ויוכח עליהם מלכים׃ |
15 [Saying, ] Touch not mine anointed ones, and do my prophets no harm.
| אל תגעו במשיחי ולנביאי אל תרעו׃ |
16 And he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole staff of bread.
| ויקרא רעב על הארץ כל מטה לחם שבר׃ |
17 He sent a man before them: Joseph was sold for a bondman.
| שלח לפניהם איש לעבד נמכר יוסף׃ |
18 They afflicted his feet with fetters; his soul came into irons;
| ענו בכבל רגליו ברזל באה נפשו׃ |
19 Until the time when what he said came about: the word of Jehovah tried him.
| עד עת בא דברו אמרת יהוה צרפתהו׃ |
20 The king sent and loosed him — the ruler of peoples — and let him go free.
| שלח מלך ויתירהו משל עמים ויפתחהו׃ |
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler over all his possessions:
| שמו אדון לביתו ומשל בכל קנינו׃ |
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom.
| לאסר שריו בנפשו וזקניו יחכם׃ |
23 And Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
| ויבא ישראל מצרים ויעקב גר בארץ חם׃ |
24 And he made his people exceeding fruitful, and made them mightier than their oppressors.
| ויפר את עמו מאד ויעצמהו מצריו׃ |
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
| הפך לבם לשנא עמו להתנכל בעבדיו׃ |
26 He sent Moses his servant, [and] Aaron whom he had chosen:
| שלח משה עבדו אהרן אשר בחר בו׃ |
27 They set his signs among them, and miracles in the land of Ham.
| שמו בם דברי אתותיו ומפתים בארץ חם׃ |
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
| שלח חשך ויחשך ולא מרו את דבריו׃ |
29 He turned their waters into blood, and caused their fish to die.
| הפך את מימיהם לדם וימת את דגתם׃ |
30 Their land swarmed with frogs, — in the chambers of their kings.
| שרץ ארצם צפרדעים בחדרי מלכיהם׃ |
31 He spoke, and there came dog-flies, [and] gnats in all their borders.
| אמר ויבא ערב כנים בכל גבולם׃ |
32 He gave them hail for rain, [and] flaming fire in their land;
| נתן גשמיהם ברד אש להבות בארצם׃ |
33 And he smote their vines and their fig-trees, and broke the trees of their borders.
| ויך גפנם ותאנתם וישבר עץ גבולם׃ |
34 He spoke, and the locust came, and the cankerworm, even without number;
| אמר ויבא ארבה וילק ואין מספר׃ |
35 And they devoured every herb in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.
| ויאכל כל עשב בארצם ויאכל פרי אדמתם׃ |
36 And he smote every firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigour.
| ויך כל בכור בארצם ראשית לכל אונם׃ |
37 And he brought them forth with silver and gold; and there was not one feeble among their tribes.
| ויוציאם בכסף וזהב ואין בשבטיו כושל׃ |
38 Egypt rejoiced at their departure; for the fear of them had fallen upon them.
| שמח מצרים בצאתם כי נפל פחדם עליהם׃ |
39 He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light in the night.
| פרש ענן למסך ואש להאיר לילה׃ |
40 They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
| שאל ויבא שלו ולחם שמים ישביעם׃ |
41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed forth; they ran in the dry places [like] a river.
| פתח צור ויזובו מים הלכו בציות נהר׃ |
42 For he remembered his holy word, [and] Abraham his servant;
| כי זכר את דבר קדשו את אברהם עבדו׃ |
43 And he brought forth his people with gladness, his chosen with rejoicing;
| ויוצא עמו בששון ברנה את בחיריו׃ |
44 And he gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the labour of the peoples:
| ויתן להם ארצות גוים ועמל לאמים יירשו׃ |
45 That they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Hallelujah!
| בעבור ישמרו חקיו ותורתיו ינצרו הללו יה׃ |
