< Psalms 105 >

1 O give thanks unto the LORD, call upon His name; make known His doings among the peoples.
הֹוד֣וּ לַ֭יהוָה קִרְא֣וּ בִּשְׁמֹ֑ו הֹודִ֥יעוּ בָ֝עַמִּ֗ים עֲלִילֹותָֽיו׃
2 Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; speak ye of all His marvellous works.
שִֽׁירוּ־לֹ֖ו זַמְּרוּ־לֹ֑ו שִׂ֝֗יחוּ בְּכָל־נִפְלְאֹותָֽיו׃
3 Glory ye in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
הִֽ֭תְהַלְלוּ בְּשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשֹׁ֑ו יִ֝שְׂמַ֗ח לֵ֤ב ׀ מְבַקְשֵׁ֬י יְהוָֽה׃
4 Seek ye the LORD and His strength; seek His face continually.
דִּרְשׁ֣וּ יְהוָ֣ה וְעֻזֹּ֑ו בַּקְּשׁ֖וּ פָנָ֣יו תָּמִֽיד׃
5 Remember His marvellous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth;
זִכְר֗וּ נִפְלְאֹותָ֥יו אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂ֑ה מֹ֝פְתָ֗יו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי־פִֽיו׃
6 O ye seed of Abraham His servant, ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones.
זֶ֭רַע אַבְרָהָ֣ם עַבְדֹּ֑ו בְּנֵ֖י יַעֲקֹ֣ב בְּחִירָֽיו׃
7 He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
ה֭וּא יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ בְּכָל־הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ מִשְׁפָּטָֽיו׃
8 He hath remembered His covenant for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations;
זָכַ֣ר לְעֹולָ֣ם בְּרִיתֹ֑ו דָּבָ֥ר צִ֝וָּ֗ה לְאֶ֣לֶף דֹּֽור׃
9 The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath unto Isaac;
אֲשֶׁ֣ר כָּ֭רַת אֶת־אַבְרָהָ֑ם וּשְׁב֖וּעָתֹ֣ו לְיִשְׂחָֽק׃
10 And He established it unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant;
וַיַּֽעֲמִידֶ֣הָ לְיַעֲקֹ֣ב לְחֹ֑ק לְ֝יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל בְּרִ֣ית עֹולָֽם׃
11 Saying: 'Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.'
לֵאמֹ֗ר לְךָ֗ אֶתֵּ֥ן אֶת־אֶֽרֶץ־כְּנָ֑עַן חֶ֝֗בֶל נַחֲלַתְכֶֽם׃
12 When they were but a few men in number. Yea, very few, and sojourners in it,
בִּֽ֭הְיֹותָם מְתֵ֣י מִסְפָּ֑ר כִּ֝מְעַ֗ט וְגָרִ֥ים בָּֽהּ׃
13 And when they went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,
וַֽ֭יִּתְהַלְּכוּ מִגֹּ֣וי אֶל־גֹּ֑וי מִ֝מַּמְלָכָ֗ה אֶל־עַ֥ם אַחֵֽר׃
14 He suffered no man to do them wrong, yea, for their sake He reproved kings:
לֹֽא־הִנִּ֣יחַ אָדָ֣ם לְעָשְׁקָ֑ם וַיֹּ֖וכַח עֲלֵיהֶ֣ם מְלָכִֽים׃
15 'Touch not Mine anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.'
אַֽל־תִּגְּע֥וּ בִמְשִׁיחָ֑י וְ֝לִנְבִיאַי אַל־תָּרֵֽעוּ׃
16 And He called a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.
וַיִּקְרָ֣א רָ֭עָב עַל־הָאָ֑רֶץ כָּֽל־מַטֵּה־לֶ֥חֶם שָׁבָֽר׃
17 He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant;
שָׁלַ֣ח לִפְנֵיהֶ֣ם אִ֑ישׁ לְ֝עֶ֗בֶד נִמְכַּ֥ר יֹוסֵֽף׃
18 His feet they hurt with fetters, his person was laid in iron;
עִנּ֣וּ בַכֶּ֣בֶל רַגְלָיו (רַגְלֹ֑ו) בַּ֝רְזֶ֗ל בָּ֣אָה נַפְשֹֽׁו׃
19 Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the LORD tested him.
עַד־עֵ֥ת בֹּֽא־דְבָרֹ֑ו אִמְרַ֖ת יְהוָ֣ה צְרָפָֽתְהוּ׃
20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the peoples, and set him free.
שָׁ֣לַח מֶ֭לֶךְ וַיַתִּירֵ֑הוּ מֹשֵׁ֥ל עַ֝מִּ֗ים וַֽיְפַתְּחֵֽהוּ׃
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his possessions;
שָׂמֹ֣ו אָדֹ֣ון לְבֵיתֹ֑ו וּ֝מֹשֵׁ֗ל בְּכָל־קִנְיָנֹֽו׃
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom.
לֶאְסֹ֣ר שָׂרָ֣יו בְּנַפְשֹׁ֑ו וּזְקֵנָ֥יו יְחַכֵּֽם׃
23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
וַיָּבֹ֣א יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל מִצְרָ֑יִם וְ֝יַעֲקֹ֗ב גָּ֣ר בְּאֶֽרֶץ־חָֽם׃
24 And He increased His people greatly, and made them too mighty for their adversaries.
וַיֶּ֣פֶר אֶת־עַמֹּ֣ו מְאֹ֑ד וַ֝יַּֽעֲצִמֵהוּ מִצָּרָֽיו׃
25 He turned their heart to hate His people, to deal craftily with His servants.
הָפַ֣ךְ לִ֭בָּם לִשְׂנֹ֣א עַמֹּ֑ו לְ֝הִתְנַכֵּ֗ל בַּעֲבָדָֽיו׃
26 He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron whom He had chosen.
שָׁ֭לַח מֹשֶׁ֣ה עַבְדֹּ֑ו אַ֝הֲרֹ֗ן אֲשֶׁ֣ר בָּֽחַר־בֹּֽו׃
27 They wrought among them His manifold signs, and wonders in the land of Ham.
שָֽׂמוּ־בָ֭ם דִּבְרֵ֣י אֹתֹותָ֑יו וּ֝מֹפְתִ֗ים בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חָֽם׃
28 He sent darkness, and it was dark; and they rebelled not against His word.
שָׁ֣לַֽח חֹ֭שֶׁךְ וַיַּחְשִׁ֑ךְ וְלֹֽא־מָ֝ר֗וּ אֶת־דְּבָרָוו (דְּבָרֹֽו)׃
29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
הָפַ֣ךְ אֶת־מֵימֵיהֶ֣ם לְדָ֑ם וַ֝יָּ֗מֶת אֶת־דְּגָתָֽם׃
30 Their land swarmed with frogs, in the chambers of their kings.
שָׁרַ֣ץ אַרְצָ֣ם צְפַרְדְּעִ֑ים בְּ֝חַדְרֵ֗י מַלְכֵיהֶֽם׃
31 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats in all their borders.
אָ֭מַר וַיָּבֹ֣א עָרֹ֑ב כִּ֝נִּ֗ים בְּכָל־גְּבוּלָֽם׃
32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
נָתַ֣ן גִּשְׁמֵיהֶ֣ם בָּרָ֑ד אֵ֖שׁ לֶהָבֹ֣ות בְּאַרְצָֽם׃
33 He smote their vines also and their fig-trees; and broke the trees of their borders.
וַיַּ֣ךְ גַּ֭פְנָם וּתְאֵנָתָ֑ם וַ֝יְשַׁבֵּ֗ר עֵ֣ץ גְּבוּלָֽם׃
34 He spoke, and the locust came, and the canker-worm without number,
אָ֭מַר וַיָּבֹ֣א אַרְבֶּ֑ה וְ֝יֶ֗לֶק וְאֵ֣ין מִסְפָּֽר׃
35 And did eat up every herb in their land, and did eat up the fruit of their ground.
וַיֹּ֣אכַל כָּל־עֵ֣שֶׂב בְּאַרְצָ֑ם וַ֝יֹּ֗אכַל פְּרִ֣י אַדְמָתָֽם׃
36 He smote also all the first-born in their land, the first-fruits of all their strength.
וַיַּ֣ךְ כָּל־בְּכֹ֣ור בְּאַרְצָ֑ם רֵ֝אשִׁ֗ית לְכָל־אֹונָֽם׃
37 And He brought them forth with silver and gold; and there was none that stumbled among His tribes.
וַֽ֭יֹּוצִיאֵם בְּכֶ֣סֶף וְזָהָ֑ב וְאֵ֖ין בִּשְׁבָטָ֣יו כֹּושֵֽׁל׃
38 Egypt was glad when they departed; for the fear of them had fallen upon them.
שָׂמַ֣ח מִצְרַ֣יִם בְּצֵאתָ֑ם כִּֽי־נָפַ֖ל פַּחְדָּ֣ם עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃
39 He spread a cloud for a screen; and fire to give light in the night.
פָּרַ֣שׂ עָנָ֣ן לְמָסָ֑ךְ וְ֝אֵ֗שׁ לְהָאִ֥יר לָֽיְלָה׃
40 They asked, and He brought quails, and gave them in plenty the bread of heaven.
שָׁאַ֣ל וַיָּבֵ֣א שְׂלָ֑ו וְלֶ֥חֶם שָׁ֝מַ֗יִם יַשְׂבִּיעֵֽם׃
41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; they ran, a river in the dry places.
פָּ֣תַח צ֭וּר וַיָּז֣וּבוּ מָ֑יִם הָ֝לְכ֗וּ בַּצִּיֹּ֥ות נָהָֽר׃
42 For He remembered His holy word unto Abraham His servant;
כִּֽי־זָ֭כַר אֶת־דְּבַ֣ר קָדְשֹׁ֑ו אֶֽת־אַבְרָהָ֥ם עַבְדֹּֽו׃
43 And He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with singing.
וַיֹּוצִ֣א עַמֹּ֣ו בְשָׂשֹׂ֑ון בְּ֝רִנָּ֗ה אֶת־בְּחִירָֽיו׃
44 And He gave them the lands of the nations, and they took the labour of the peoples in possession;
וַיִּתֵּ֣ן לָ֭הֶם אַרְצֹ֣ות גֹּויִ֑ם וַעֲמַ֖ל לְאֻמִּ֣ים יִירָֽשׁוּ׃
45 That they might keep His statutes, and observe His laws. Hallelujah.
בַּעֲב֤וּר ׀ יִשְׁמְר֣וּ חֻ֭קָּיו וְתֹורֹתָ֥יו יִנְצֹ֗רוּ הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
