Psalms 105
1 Praise the Lord, and call vpon his Name: declare his workes among the people.
| הודו ליהוה קראו בשמו הודיעו בעמים עלילותיו׃ |
2 Sing vnto him, sing prayse vnto him, and talke of all his wonderous workes.
| שירו לו זמרו לו שיחו בכל נפלאותיו׃ |
3 Reioyce in his holy Name: let the heart of them that seeke the Lord, reioyce.
| התהללו בשם קדשו ישמח לב מבקשי יהוה׃ |
4 Seeke the Lord and his strength: seeke his face continually.
| דרשו יהוה ועזו בקשו פניו תמיד׃ |
5 Remember his marueilous woorkes, that he hath done, his wonders and the iudgements of his mouth,
| זכרו נפלאותיו אשר עשה מפתיו ומשפטי פיו׃ |
6 Ye seede of Abraham his seruant, ye children of Iaakob, which are his elect.
| זרע אברהם עבדו בני יעקב בחיריו׃ |
7 He is the Lord our God: his iudgements are through all the earth.
| הוא יהוה אלהינו בכל הארץ משפטיו׃ |
8 He hath alway remembred his couenant and promise, that he made to a thousand generations,
| זכר לעולם בריתו דבר צוה לאלף דור׃ |
9 Euen that which he made with Abraham, and his othe vnto Izhak:
| אשר כרת את אברהם ושבועתו לישחק׃ |
10 And since hath confirmed it to Iaakob for a lawe, and to Israel for an euerlasting couenant,
| ויעמידה ליעקב לחק לישראל ברית עולם׃ |
11 Saying, Vnto thee will I giue the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.
| לאמר לך אתן את ארץ כנען חבל נחלתכם׃ |
12 Albeit they were fewe in nomber, yea, very fewe, and strangers in the land,
| בהיותם מתי מספר כמעט וגרים בה׃ |
13 And walked about from nation to nation, from one kingdome to another people,
| ויתהלכו מגוי אל גוי מממלכה אל עם אחר׃ |
14 Yet suffered he no man to doe them wrong, but reprooued Kings for their sakes, saying,
| לא הניח אדם לעשקם ויוכח עליהם מלכים׃ |
15 Touche not mine anointed, and doe my Prophets no harme.
| אל תגעו במשיחי ולנביאי אל תרעו׃ |
16 Moreouer, he called a famine vpon ye land, and vtterly brake the staffe of bread.
| ויקרא רעב על הארץ כל מטה לחם שבר׃ |
17 But he sent a man before them: Ioseph was solde for a slaue.
| שלח לפניהם איש לעבד נמכר יוסף׃ |
18 They helde his feete in the stockes, and he was laide in yrons,
| ענו בכבל רגליו ברזל באה נפשו׃ |
19 Vntill his appointed time came, and the counsell of the Lord had tryed him.
| עד עת בא דברו אמרת יהוה צרפתהו׃ |
20 The King sent and loosed him: euen the Ruler of the people deliuered him.
| שלח מלך ויתירהו משל עמים ויפתחהו׃ |
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance,
| שמו אדון לביתו ומשל בכל קנינו׃ |
22 That he shoulde binde his princes vnto his will, and teach his Ancients wisedome.
| לאסר שריו בנפשו וזקניו יחכם׃ |
23 Then Israel came to Egypt, and Iaakob was a stranger in the land of Ham.
| ויבא ישראל מצרים ויעקב גר בארץ חם׃ |
24 And he increased his people exceedingly, and made them stronger then their oppressours.
| ויפר את עמו מאד ויעצמהו מצריו׃ |
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, and to deale craftily with his seruants.
| הפך לבם לשנא עמו להתנכל בעבדיו׃ |
26 Then sent he Moses his seruant, and Aaron whom he had chosen.
| שלח משה עבדו אהרן אשר בחר בו׃ |
27 They shewed among them the message of his signes, and wonders in the land of Ham.
| שמו בם דברי אתותיו ומפתים בארץ חם׃ |
28 He sent darkenesse, and made it darke: and they were not disobedient vnto his commission.
| שלח חשך ויחשך ולא מרו את דבריו׃ |
29 He turned their waters into blood, and slewe their fish.
| הפך את מימיהם לדם וימת את דגתם׃ |
30 Their land brought foorth frogs, euen in their Kings chambers.
| שרץ ארצם צפרדעים בחדרי מלכיהם׃ |
31 He spake, and there came swarmes of flies and lice in all their quarters.
| אמר ויבא ערב כנים בכל גבולם׃ |
32 He gaue them haile for raine, and flames of fire in their land.
| נתן גשמיהם ברד אש להבות בארצם׃ |
33 He smote their vines also and their figge trees, and brake downe the trees in their coastes.
| ויך גפנם ותאנתם וישבר עץ גבולם׃ |
34 He spake, and the grashoppers came, and caterpillers innumerable,
| אמר ויבא ארבה וילק ואין מספר׃ |
35 And did eate vp all the grasse in their land, and deuoured the fruite of their ground.
| ויאכל כל עשב בארצם ויאכל פרי אדמתם׃ |
36 He smote also all the first borne in their land, euen the beginning of all their strength.
| ויך כל בכור בארצם ראשית לכל אונם׃ |
37 He brought them forth also with siluer and golde, and there was none feeble among their tribes.
| ויוציאם בכסף וזהב ואין בשבטיו כושל׃ |
38 Egypt was glad at their departing: for the feare of them had fallen vpon them.
| שמח מצרים בצאתם כי נפל פחדם עליהם׃ |
39 He spred a cloude to be a couering, and fire to giue light in the night.
| פרש ענן למסך ואש להאיר לילה׃ |
40 They asked, and he brought quailes, and he filled them with the bread of heauen.
| שאל ויבא שלו ולחם שמים ישביעם׃ |
41 He opened the rocke, and the waters flowed out, and ranne in the drye places like a riuer.
| פתח צור ויזובו מים הלכו בציות נהר׃ |
42 For he remembred his holy promise to Abraham his seruant,
| כי זכר את דבר קדשו את אברהם עבדו׃ |
43 And he brought forth his people with ioy, and his chosen with gladnesse,
| ויוצא עמו בששון ברנה את בחיריו׃ |
44 And gaue them the lands of the heathen, and they tooke the labours of the people in possession,
| ויתן להם ארצות גוים ועמל לאמים יירשו׃ |
45 That they might keepe his statutes, and obserue his Lawes. Prayse ye the Lord.
| בעבור ישמרו חקיו ותורתיו ינצרו הללו יה׃ |
