Psalms 105
1 Give the Lord thanks, worship his wonderful nature, let people know what he's done!
| הוֹדוּ לַיהֹוָה קִרְאוּ בִשְׁמוֹ הוֹדִיעוּ בָעַמִּים עֲלִילוֹתָֽיו׃ |
2 Sing to him, sing his praises; tell everyone the great things he's done!
| שִֽׁירוּ־לוֹ זַמְּרוּ־לוֹ שִׂיחוּ בְּכׇל־נִפְלְאוֹתָֽיו׃ |
3 Be proud of his holy character; be happy, all who come to the Lord!
| הִֽתְהַלְלוּ בְּשֵׁם קׇדְשׁוֹ יִשְׂמַח לֵב ׀ מְבַקְשֵׁי יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
4 Look for the Lord, and his strength; always look to be in his presence.
| דִּרְשׁוּ יְהֹוָה וְעֻזּוֹ בַּקְּשׁוּ פָנָיו תָּמִֽיד׃ |
5 Remember all the wonderful things he's done, the miracles he's performed, and the judgments he's carried out,
| זִכְרוּ נִפְלְאוֹתָיו אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה מֹפְתָיו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי־פִֽיו׃ |
6 descendants of Abraham, children of Israel, his chosen people.
| זֶרַע אַבְרָהָם עַבְדּוֹ בְּנֵי יַעֲקֹב בְּחִירָֽיו׃ |
7 He is the Lord, our God, his judgments cover the whole earth.
| הוּא יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ בְּכׇל־הָאָרֶץ מִשְׁפָּטָֽיו׃ |
8 He remembers his agreement forever, the promise he made lasts for a thousand generations;
| זָכַר לְעוֹלָם בְּרִיתוֹ דָּבָר צִוָּה לְאֶלֶף דּֽוֹר׃ |
9 the agreement he made with Abraham, the vow he gave to Isaac.
| אֲשֶׁר כָּרַת אֶת־אַבְרָהָם וּשְׁבוּעָתוֹ לְיִשְׂחָֽק׃ |
10 The Lord legally confirmed it with Jacob, he made this binding agreement with Israel:
| וַיַּעֲמִידֶהָ לְיַעֲקֹב לְחֹק לְיִשְׂרָאֵל בְּרִית עוֹלָֽם׃ |
11 saying to you, “I will give the land of Canaan for you to possess.”
| לֵאמֹר לְךָ אֶתֵּן אֶת־אֶֽרֶץ־כְּנָעַן חֶבֶל נַחֲלַתְכֶֽם׃ |
12 He said this when they were only a few, just a small group of foreigners in the land.
| בִּֽהְיוֹתָם מְתֵי מִסְפָּר כִּמְעַט וְגָרִים בָּֽהּ׃ |
13 They wandered from country to country, from one kingdom to the next.
| וַיִּֽתְהַלְּכוּ מִגּוֹי אֶל־גּוֹי מִמַּמְלָכָה אֶל־עַם אַחֵֽר׃ |
14 He didn't let anyone one treat them badly; warning kings to leave them alone:
| לֹא־הִנִּיחַ אָדָם לְעׇשְׁקָם וַיּוֹכַח עֲלֵיהֶם מְלָכִֽים׃ |
15 “Don't touch my chosen people; don't harm my prophets!”
| אַֽל־תִּגְּעוּ בִמְשִׁיחָי וְלִנְבִיאַי אַל־תָּרֵֽעוּ׃ |
16 He caused a famine in the Land of Canaan so that there was no food.
| וַיִּקְרָא רָעָב עַל־הָאָרֶץ כׇּֽל־מַטֵּה־לֶחֶם שָׁבָֽר׃ |
17 Before that he sent a man, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
| שָׁלַח לִפְנֵיהֶם אִישׁ לְעֶבֶד נִמְכַּר יוֹסֵֽף׃ |
18 They hurt his feet by placing them in shackles, and they put an iron collar around his neck,
| עִנּוּ בַכֶּבֶל (רגליו) [רַגְלוֹ] בַּרְזֶל בָּאָה נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃ |
19 until the time predicted came when the Lord tested him.
| עַד־עֵת בֹּא־דְבָרוֹ אִמְרַת יְהֹוָה צְרָפָֽתְהוּ׃ |
20 The king sent for him and released him; the king of the people set him free.
| שָׁלַח מֶלֶךְ וַיַּתִּירֵהוּ מֹשֵׁל עַמִּים וַֽיְפַתְּחֵֽהוּ׃ |
21 He put Joseph in charge of the royal household, manager of everything he had,
| שָׂמוֹ אָדוֹן לְבֵיתוֹ וּמֹשֵׁל בְּכׇל־קִנְיָנֽוֹ׃ |
22 to teach the king's officials whatever he wanted, to make the king's advisors wise.
| לֶאְסֹר שָׂרָיו בְּנַפְשׁוֹ וּזְקֵנָיו יְחַכֵּֽם׃ |
23 Then Israel entered Egypt—Jacob settled as a foreigner in the land of Ham.
| וַיָּבֹא יִשְׂרָאֵל מִצְרָיִם וְיַעֲקֹב גָּר בְּאֶֽרֶץ־חָֽם׃ |
24 The Lord made his people more fertile and more powerful than their enemies.
| וַיֶּפֶר אֶת־עַמּוֹ מְאֹד וַיַּעֲצִמֵהוּ מִצָּרָֽיו׃ |
25 He made the Egyptians change their minds and hate his people and act deceptively towards them.
| הָפַךְ לִבָּם לִשְׂנֹא עַמּוֹ לְהִתְנַכֵּל בַּעֲבָדָֽיו׃ |
26 He sent his servant Moses, together with Aaron, whom he had chosen.
| שָׁלַח מֹשֶׁה עַבְדּוֹ אַהֲרֹן אֲשֶׁר בָּחַר־בּֽוֹ׃ |
27 They carried out his miraculous signs among the Egyptians, his wonders in the land of Ham.
| שָֽׂמוּ־בָם דִּבְרֵי אֹתוֹתָיו וּמֹפְתִים בְּאֶרֶץ חָֽם׃ |
28 He plunged the country into darkness—for hadn't they defied what the Lord had said?
| שָׁלַֽח חֹשֶׁךְ וַיַּחְשִׁךְ וְלֹֽא־מָרוּ אֶת־[דְּבָרֽוֹ] (דבריו)׃ |
29 He turned their water into blood, killing all the fish.
| הָפַךְ אֶת־מֵימֵיהֶם לְדָם וַיָּמֶת אֶת־דְּגָתָֽם׃ |
30 Then he sent a plague of frogs across the land that even entered the bedrooms of their rulers.
| שָׁרַץ אַרְצָם צְפַרְדְּעִים בְּחַדְרֵי מַלְכֵיהֶֽם׃ |
31 He gave the command, and flies spread throughout their land; mosquitoes were everywhere.
| אָמַר וַיָּבֹא עָרֹב כִּנִּים בְּכׇל־גְּבוּלָֽם׃ |
32 He rained down hail on them, and lightning flashed across their land.
| נָתַן גִּשְׁמֵיהֶם בָּרָד אֵשׁ לֶהָבוֹת בְּאַרְצָֽם׃ |
33 He struck down their grape vines, and tore down their trees.
| וַיַּךְ גַּפְנָם וּתְאֵנָתָם וַיְשַׁבֵּר עֵץ גְּבוּלָֽם׃ |
34 He gave the command, and swarms of locusts came—countless locusts:
| אָמַר וַיָּבֹא אַרְבֶּה וְיֶלֶק וְאֵין מִסְפָּֽר׃ |
35 they ate up all the vegetation in their land; they consumed all the growing crops.
| וַיֹּאכַל כׇּל־עֵשֶׂב בְּאַרְצָם וַיֹּאכַל פְּרִי אַדְמָתָֽם׃ |
36 He killed all the firstborn in Egypt, the first to be produced in their vigor and strength.
| וַיַּךְ כׇּל־בְּכוֹר בְּאַרְצָם רֵאשִׁית לְכׇל־אוֹנָֽם׃ |
37 Then he led his people out of Egypt, carrying silver and gold—not one among the tribes was stumbling along.
| וַֽיּוֹצִיאֵם בְּכֶסֶף וְזָהָב וְאֵין בִּשְׁבָטָיו כּוֹשֵֽׁל׃ |
38 The Egyptians were delighted to see them go, for they were frightened of the Israelites.
| שָׂמַח מִצְרַיִם בְּצֵאתָם כִּֽי־נָפַל פַּחְדָּם עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃ |
39 He spread a cloud above them as a covering, and at night a fire to give them light.
| פָּרַשׂ עָנָן לְמָסָךְ וְאֵשׁ לְהָאִיר לָֽיְלָה׃ |
40 He gave them quails to eat when they asked him; he fed them with the bread of heaven until they were full.
| שָׁאַל וַיָּבֵא שְׂלָו וְלֶחֶם שָׁמַיִם יַשְׂבִּיעֵֽם׃ |
41 He split the rock open, and water gushed out—a river flowing through the desert.
| פָּתַח צוּר וַיָּזוּבוּ מָיִם הָלְכוּ בַּצִּיּוֹת נָהָֽר׃ |
42 For he remembered his holy promise to his servant Abraham.
| כִּֽי־זָכַר אֶת־דְּבַר קׇדְשׁוֹ אֶֽת־אַבְרָהָם עַבְדּֽוֹ׃ |
43 So he led his people out, his chosen ones, as they sang for joy.
| וַיּוֹצִא עַמּוֹ בְשָׂשׂוֹן בְּרִנָּה אֶת־בְּחִירָֽיו׃ |
44 He gave them the lands of the heathen nations, and they inherited what other people had worked for.
| וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם אַרְצוֹת גּוֹיִם וַעֲמַל לְאֻמִּים יִירָֽשׁוּ׃ |
45 The Lord did this so they could follow his instructions and keep his laws. Praise the Lord!
| בַּעֲבוּר ׀ יִשְׁמְרוּ חֻקָּיו וְתוֹרֹתָיו יִנְצֹרוּ הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ |
