Psalms 105
1 O give thanks unto the LORD, call upon His name; make known His doings among the peoples.
O give praise to the Lord; give honour to his name, talking of his doings among the peoples.
2 Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; speak ye of all His marvellous works.
Let your voice be sounding in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.
3 Glory ye in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad.
4 Seek ye the LORD and His strength; seek His face continually.
Let your search be for the Lord and for his strength; let your hearts ever be turned to him.
5 Remember His marvellous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth;
Keep in mind the great works which he has done; his wonders, and the decisions of his mouth;
6 O ye seed of Abraham His servant, ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones.
O you seed of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his loved ones.
7 He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
He is the Lord our God: he is judge of all the earth.
8 He hath remembered His covenant for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations;
He has kept his agreement in mind for ever, the word which he gave for a thousand generations;
9 The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath unto Isaac;
The agreement which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac;
10 And He established it unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant;
And he gave it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an eternal agreement;
11 Saying: 'Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.'
Saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan, the measured line of your heritage:
12 When they were but a few men in number. Yea, very few, and sojourners in it,
When they were still small in number, and strange in the land;
13 And when they went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,
When they went about from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another people.
14 He suffered no man to do them wrong, yea, for their sake He reproved kings:
He would not let anyone do them wrong; he even kept back kings because of them,
15 'Touch not Mine anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.'
Saying, Put not your hand on those who have been marked with my holy oil, and do my prophets no wrong.
16 And He called a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.
And he took away all food from the land, so that the people were without bread.
17 He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant;
He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was given as a servant for a price:
18 His feet they hurt with fetters, his person was laid in iron;
His feet were fixed in chains; his neck was put in iron bands;
19 Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the LORD tested him.
Till the time when his word came true; he was tested by the word of the Lord.
20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the peoples, and set him free.
The king sent men to take off his chains; even the ruler of the people, who let him go free.
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his possessions;
He made him lord of his house, and ruler over everything he had;
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom.
To give his chiefs teaching at his pleasure, and so that his law-givers might get wisdom from him.
23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
Then Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob was living in the land of Ham.
24 And He increased His people greatly, and made them too mighty for their adversaries.
And his people were greatly increased, and became stronger than those who were against them.
25 He turned their heart to hate His people, to deal craftily with His servants.
Their hearts were turned to hate against his people, so that they made secret designs against them.
26 He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron whom He had chosen.
He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, the man of his selection.
27 They wrought among them His manifold signs, and wonders in the land of Ham.
He let his signs be seen among the people, and his wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and it was dark; and they rebelled not against His word.
He sent black night and made it dark; and they did not go against his word.
29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
At his word their waters were turned to blood, and he sent death on all their fish.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs, in the chambers of their kings.
Their land was full of frogs, even in the rooms of the king.
31 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats in all their borders.
He gave the word, and there came the dog-fly, and insects over all the land.
32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
He gave them ice for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
33 He smote their vines also and their fig-trees; and broke the trees of their borders.
He gave their vines and their fig-trees to destruction, and the trees of their land were broken down.
34 He spoke, and the locust came, and the canker-worm without number,
At his word the locusts came, and young locusts more than might be numbered,
35 And did eat up every herb in their land, and did eat up the fruit of their ground.
And put an end to all the plants of their land, taking all the fruit of the earth for food.
36 He smote also all the first-born in their land, the first-fruits of all their strength.
He put to death the first child of every family in the land, the first-fruits of their strength.
37 And He brought them forth with silver and gold; and there was none that stumbled among His tribes.
He took his people out with silver and gold: there was not one feeble person among them.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed; for the fear of them had fallen upon them.
Egypt was glad when they went; for the fear of them had come down on them.
39 He spread a cloud for a screen; and fire to give light in the night.
A cloud was stretched over them for a cover; and he sent fire to give light in the night.
40 They asked, and He brought quails, and gave them in plenty the bread of heaven.
At the people's request he sent birds, and gave them the bread of heaven for food.
41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; they ran, a river in the dry places.
His hand made the rock open, and the waters came streaming out; they went down through the dry places like a river.
42 For He remembered His holy word unto Abraham His servant;
For he kept in mind his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.
43 And He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with singing.
And he took his people out with joy, the men of his selection with glad cries:
44 And He gave them the lands of the nations, and they took the labour of the peoples in possession;
And gave them the lands of the nations; and they took the work of the peoples for a heritage;
45 That they might keep His statutes, and observe His laws. Hallelujah.
So that they might keep his orders, and be true to his laws. Give praise to the Lord.
