< Psalms 105 >
1 O give thanks unto the LORD, call upon His name; make known His doings among the peoples.
Alleluja. Confitemini Domino, et invocate nomen ejus; annuntiate inter gentes opera ejus.
2 Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; speak ye of all His marvellous works.
Cantate ei, et psallite ei; narrate omnia mirabilia ejus.
3 Glory ye in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
Laudamini in nomine sancto ejus; lætetur cor quærentium Dominum.
4 Seek ye the LORD and His strength; seek His face continually.
Quærite Dominum, et confirmamini; quærite faciem ejus semper.
5 Remember His marvellous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth;
Mementote mirabilium ejus quæ fecit; prodigia ejus, et judicia oris ejus:
6 O ye seed of Abraham His servant, ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones.
semen Abraham servi ejus; filii Jacob electi ejus.
7 He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
Ipse Dominus Deus noster; in universa terra judicia ejus.
8 He hath remembered His covenant for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations;
Memor fuit in sæculum testamenti sui; verbi quod mandavit in mille generationes:
9 The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath unto Isaac;
quod disposuit ad Abraham, et juramenti sui ad Isaac:
10 And He established it unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant;
et statuit illud Jacob in præceptum, et Israël in testamentum æternum,
11 Saying: 'Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.'
dicens: Tibi dabo terram Chanaan, funiculum hæreditatis vestræ:
12 When they were but a few men in number. Yea, very few, and sojourners in it,
cum essent numero brevi, paucissimi, et incolæ ejus.
13 And when they went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,
Et pertransierunt de gente in gentem, et de regno ad populum alterum.
14 He suffered no man to do them wrong, yea, for their sake He reproved kings:
Non reliquit hominem nocere eis: et corripuit pro eis reges.
15 'Touch not Mine anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.'
Nolite tangere christos meos, et in prophetis meis nolite malignari.
16 And He called a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.
Et vocavit famem super terram, et omne firmamentum panis contrivit.
17 He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant;
Misit ante eos virum: in servum venumdatus est, Joseph.
18 His feet they hurt with fetters, his person was laid in iron;
Humiliaverunt in compedibus pedes ejus; ferrum pertransiit animam ejus:
19 Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the LORD tested him.
donec veniret verbum ejus. Eloquium Domini inflammavit eum.
20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the peoples, and set him free.
Misit rex, et solvit eum; princeps populorum, et dimisit eum.
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his possessions;
Constituit eum dominum domus suæ, et principem omnis possessionis suæ:
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom.
ut erudiret principes ejus sicut semetipsum, et senes ejus prudentiam doceret.
23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
Et intravit Israël in Ægyptum, et Jacob accola fuit in terra Cham.
24 And He increased His people greatly, and made them too mighty for their adversaries.
Et auxit populum suum vehementer, et firmavit eum super inimicos ejus.
25 He turned their heart to hate His people, to deal craftily with His servants.
Convertit cor eorum, ut odirent populum ejus, et dolum facerent in servos ejus.
26 He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron whom He had chosen.
Misit Moysen servum suum; Aaron quem elegit ipsum.
27 They wrought among them His manifold signs, and wonders in the land of Ham.
Posuit in eis verba signorum suorum, et prodigiorum in terra Cham.
28 He sent darkness, and it was dark; and they rebelled not against His word.
Misit tenebras, et obscuravit; et non exacerbavit sermones suos.
29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
Convertit aquas eorum in sanguinem, et occidit pisces eorum.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs, in the chambers of their kings.
Edidit terra eorum ranas in penetralibus regum ipsorum.
31 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats in all their borders.
Dixit, et venit cœnomyia et ciniphes in omnibus finibus eorum.
32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
Posuit pluvias eorum grandinem: ignem comburentem in terra ipsorum.
33 He smote their vines also and their fig-trees; and broke the trees of their borders.
Et percussit vineas eorum, et ficulneas eorum, et contrivit lignum finium eorum.
34 He spoke, and the locust came, and the canker-worm without number,
Dixit, et venit locusta, et bruchus cujus non erat numerus:
35 And did eat up every herb in their land, and did eat up the fruit of their ground.
et comedit omne fœnum in terra eorum, et comedit omnem fructum terræ eorum.
36 He smote also all the first-born in their land, the first-fruits of all their strength.
Et percussit omne primogenitum in terra eorum, primitias omnis laboris eorum.
37 And He brought them forth with silver and gold; and there was none that stumbled among His tribes.
Et eduxit eos cum argento et auro, et non erat in tribubus eorum infirmus.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed; for the fear of them had fallen upon them.
Lætata est Ægyptus in profectione eorum, quia incubuit timor eorum super eos.
39 He spread a cloud for a screen; and fire to give light in the night.
Expandit nubem in protectionem eorum, et ignem ut luceret eis per noctem.
40 They asked, and He brought quails, and gave them in plenty the bread of heaven.
Petierunt, et venit coturnix, et pane cæli saturavit eos.
41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; they ran, a river in the dry places.
Dirupit petram, et fluxerunt aquæ: abierunt in sicco flumina.
42 For He remembered His holy word unto Abraham His servant;
Quoniam memor fuit verbi sancti sui, quod habuit ad Abraham puerum suum.
43 And He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with singing.
Et eduxit populum suum in exsultatione, et electos suos in lætitia.
44 And He gave them the lands of the nations, and they took the labour of the peoples in possession;
Et dedit illis regiones gentium, et labores populorum possederunt:
45 That they might keep His statutes, and observe His laws. Hallelujah.
ut custodiant justificationes ejus, et legem ejus requirant.
