< Psalms 105 >

1 O give thanks unto the Lord; call on his name: make known among the people his deeds.
Give ye thanks to Jehovah — call ye in His name, Make known among the peoples His acts.
2 Sing unto, him, sing praises unto him: speak of all his wonderful works.
Sing ye to Him — sing praise to Him, Meditate ye on all His wonders.
3 Glorify yourselves in his holy name: let the heart of those rejoice that seek the Lord.
Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking Jehovah rejoiceth.
4 Inquire after the Lord and his strength: seek his presence evermore.
Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek ye His face continually.
5 Remember his wonderful works which he hath done; his tokens, and the decrees of his mouth;
Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth.
6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob, his elect.
O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
7 He is the Lord our God: over all the earth are his decrees.
He [is] Jehovah our God, In all the earth [are] His judgments.
8 He remembereth his covenant for ever, the word which he hath commanded, to the thousandth generation.
He hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He commanded to a thousand generations,
9 Which he covenanted with Abraham; and his oath unto Isaac;
That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,
10 And which he established unto Jacob as a statute, unto Israel as an everlasting covenant:
And doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel — a covenant age-during,
11 Saying, “Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, as the portion of your inheritance.”
Saying, 'To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,'
12 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it;
In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it.
13 And when they wandered from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people:
And they go up and down, from nation unto nation, From a kingdom unto another people.
14 He suffered no man to oppress them; yea, he reproved kings for their sake;
He hath not suffered any to oppress them And He reproveth for their sakes kings.
15 [Saying, ] “Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm,”—
'Strike not against Mine anointed, And to My prophets do not evil.'
16 And he called for a famine over the land; every staff of bread he broke.
And He calleth a famine on the land, The whole staff of bread He hath broken.
17 He sent a man before them; for a servant was Joseph sold;
He hath sent before them a man, For a servant hath Joseph been sold.
18 They forced into fetters his feet; in iron was his body put:
They have afflicted with fetters his feet, Iron hath entered his soul,
19 Until the time that his word came to pass, [when] the saying of the Lord had purified him.
Till the time of the coming of His word The saying of Jehovah hath tried him.
20 The king sent and unfettered him; the ruler of people, and let him go free.
The king hath sent, and looseth him, The ruler of the peoples, and draweth him out.
21 He appointed him lord of his house, and ruler of all his possession:
He hath made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions.
22 That he might bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his ancients wisdom.
To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And his elders he maketh wise.
23 Then came Israel into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
And Israel cometh in to Egypt, And Jacob hath sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 And he increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries.
And He maketh His people very fruitful, And maketh it mightier than its adversaries.
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilely with his servants.
He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire against His servants.
26 He sent Moses his servant, Aaron also whom he had made choice of.
He hath sent Moses His servant, Aaron whom He had fixed on.
27 They displayed among them his effective signs, and wonders in the land of Ham.
They have set among them the matters of His signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
He hath sent darkness, and it is dark, And they have not provoked His word.
29 He changed their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
He hath turned their waters to blood, And putteth to death their fish.
30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the very chambers of their kings.
Teemed hath their land [with] frogs, In the inner chambers of their kings.
31 He spoke, and there came various wild beasts, lice also within all their boundary.
He hath said, and the beetle cometh, Lice into all their border.
32 He gave them as their rain hail, and flames of fire in their land.
He hath made their showers hail, A flaming fire [is] in their land.
33 And he smote their vines and their fig-trees, and broke the trees within their boundary.
And He smiteth their vine and their fig, And shivereth the trees of their border.
34 He spoke, and the locusts came, and crickets, and that without number;
He hath said, and the locust cometh, And the cankerworm — innumerable,
35 And they ate up all the herbs in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.
And it consumeth every herb in their land, And it consumeth the fruit of their ground.
36 And he smote all the first-born in their land, the first of all their strength.
And He smiteth every first-born in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,
37 And he brought them forth with silver and gold: and there was not one that stumbled among his tribes.
And bringeth them out with silver and gold, And there is not in its tribes a feeble one.
38 Egypt rejoiced when they departed; for the dread of them was fallen upon them.
Rejoiced hath Egypt in their going forth, For their fear had fallen upon them.
39 He spread out a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light in the night.
He hath spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to enlighten the night.
40 The people asked, and he brought quails, and with heavenly bread he satisfied them.
They have asked, and He bringeth quails, And [with] bread of heaven satisfieth them.
41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out: they ran in the dry places like a river.
He hath opened a rock, and waters issue, They have gone on in dry places — a river.
42 For he remembered his holy word given to Abraham his servant.
For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant,
43 And he brought forth his people with gladness, with joyful song his elect.
And He bringeth forth His people with joy, With singing His chosen ones.
44 And he gave them the lands of nations; and the labor of people they obtained as an inheritance:
And He giveth to them the lands of nations, And the labour of peoples they possess,
45 So that they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Hallelujah.
That they may observe His statutes, And His laws may keep. Praise ye Jehovah!
