Psalms 105
1 Alleluia. Give glory to the Lord, and call upon his name: declare his deeds among the Gentiles.
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: relate all his wondrous works.
Sing ye to Him — sing praise to Him, Meditate ye on all His wonders.
3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking Jehovah rejoiceth.
4 Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened: seek his face evermore.
Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek ye His face continually.

8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever: the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
He hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He commanded to a thousand generations,
9 Which he made to Abraham; and his oath to Isaac:
That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,
10 And he appointed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting testament:
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 lot of your inheritance.
Saying, 'To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,'
12 When they were but a small number: yea very few, and sojourners therein:
In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it.

And they go up and down, from nation unto nation, From a kingdom unto another people.
14 He suffered no man to hurt them: and he reproved kings for their sakes.

20 The king sent, and he released him: the ruler of the people, and he set him at liberty.

21 He made him master of his house, and ruler of all his possession.
He hath made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions.
22 That he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his ancients wisdom.
To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And his elders he maketh wise.
23 And Israel went into Egypt: and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Cham.

And He maketh His people very fruitful, And maketh it mightier than its adversaries.

He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire against His servants.
26 He sent Moses his servant: Aaron the man whom he had chosen.

And He smiteth their vine and their fig, And shivereth the trees of their border.
34 He spoke, and the locust came, and the bruchus, of which there was no number.
He hath said, and the locust cometh, And the cankerworm — innumerable,
35 And they devoured all the grass in their land, and consumed all the fruit of their ground.
And it consumeth every herb in their land, And it consumeth the fruit of their ground.
36 And he slew all the firstborn in their land: the firstfruits of all their labour.
And He smiteth every first-born in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,

For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant,
43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness.
And He bringeth forth His people with joy, With singing His chosen ones.
44 And he gave them the lands of the Gentiles: and they possessed 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 observe his justifications, and seek after his law.
That they may observe His statutes, And His laws may keep. Praise ye Jehovah!
