Psalms 105
1 O give thanks unto the Lord; call on his name: make known among the people his deeds.
| הודו ליהוה קראו בשמו הודיעו בעמים עלילותיו׃ |
2 Sing unto, him, sing praises unto him: speak of all his wonderful works.
| שירו לו זמרו לו שיחו בכל נפלאותיו׃ |
3 Glorify yourselves in his holy name: let the heart of those rejoice that seek the Lord.
| התהללו בשם קדשו ישמח לב מבקשי יהוה׃ |
4 Inquire after the Lord and his strength: seek his presence evermore.
| דרשו יהוה ועזו בקשו פניו תמיד׃ |
5 Remember his wonderful works which he hath done; his tokens, and the decrees of his mouth;
| זכרו נפלאותיו אשר עשה מפתיו ומשפטי פיו׃ |
6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob, his elect.
| זרע אברהם עבדו בני יעקב בחיריו׃ |
7 He is the Lord our God: over all the earth are his decrees.
| הוא יהוה אלהינו בכל הארץ משפטיו׃ |
8 He remembereth his covenant for ever, the word which he hath commanded, to the thousandth generation.
| זכר לעולם בריתו דבר צוה לאלף דור׃ |
9 Which he covenanted with Abraham; and his oath unto Isaac;
| אשר כרת את אברהם ושבועתו לישחק׃ |
10 And which he established unto Jacob as a statute, unto Israel as an everlasting covenant:
| ויעמידה ליעקב לחק לישראל ברית עולם׃ |
11 Saying, “Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, as the portion of your inheritance.”
| לאמר לך אתן את ארץ כנען חבל נחלתכם׃ |
12 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it;
| בהיותם מתי מספר כמעט וגרים בה׃ |
13 And when they wandered from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people:
| ויתהלכו מגוי אל גוי מממלכה אל עם אחר׃ |
14 He suffered no man to oppress them; yea, he reproved kings for their sake;
| לא הניח אדם לעשקם ויוכח עליהם מלכים׃ |
15 [Saying, ] “Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm,”—
| אל תגעו במשיחי ולנביאי אל תרעו׃ |
16 And he called for a famine over the land; every staff of bread he broke.
| ויקרא רעב על הארץ כל מטה לחם שבר׃ |
17 He sent a man before them; for a servant was Joseph sold;
| שלח לפניהם איש לעבד נמכר יוסף׃ |
18 They forced into fetters his feet; in iron was his body put:
| ענו בכבל רגליו ברזל באה נפשו׃ |
19 Until the time that his word came to pass, [when] the saying of the Lord had purified him.
| עד עת בא דברו אמרת יהוה צרפתהו׃ |
20 The king sent and unfettered him; the ruler of people, and let him go free.
| שלח מלך ויתירהו משל עמים ויפתחהו׃ |
21 He appointed him lord of his house, and ruler of all his possession:
| שמו אדון לביתו ומשל בכל קנינו׃ |
22 That he might bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his ancients wisdom.
| לאסר שריו בנפשו וזקניו יחכם׃ |
23 Then came Israel into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
| ויבא ישראל מצרים ויעקב גר בארץ חם׃ |
24 And he increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries.
| ויפר את עמו מאד ויעצמהו מצריו׃ |
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilely with his servants.
| הפך לבם לשנא עמו להתנכל בעבדיו׃ |
26 He sent Moses his servant, Aaron also whom he had made choice of.
| שלח משה עבדו אהרן אשר בחר בו׃ |
27 They displayed among them his effective signs, and wonders in the land of Ham.
| שמו בם דברי אתותיו ומפתים בארץ חם׃ |
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
| שלח חשך ויחשך ולא מרו את דבריו׃ |
29 He changed their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
| הפך את מימיהם לדם וימת את דגתם׃ |
30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the very chambers of their kings.
| שרץ ארצם צפרדעים בחדרי מלכיהם׃ |
31 He spoke, and there came various wild beasts, lice also within all their boundary.
| אמר ויבא ערב כנים בכל גבולם׃ |
32 He gave them as their rain hail, and flames of fire in their land.
| נתן גשמיהם ברד אש להבות בארצם׃ |
33 And he smote their vines and their fig-trees, and broke the trees within their boundary.
| ויך גפנם ותאנתם וישבר עץ גבולם׃ |
34 He spoke, and the locusts came, and crickets, and that without number;
| אמר ויבא ארבה וילק ואין מספר׃ |
35 And they ate up all the herbs in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.
| ויאכל כל עשב בארצם ויאכל פרי אדמתם׃ |
36 And he smote all the first-born in their land, the first of all their strength.
| ויך כל בכור בארצם ראשית לכל אונם׃ |
37 And he brought them forth with silver and gold: and there was not one that stumbled among his tribes.
| ויוציאם בכסף וזהב ואין בשבטיו כושל׃ |
38 Egypt rejoiced when they departed; for the dread of them was fallen upon them.
| שמח מצרים בצאתם כי נפל פחדם עליהם׃ |
39 He spread out a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light in the night.
| פרש ענן למסך ואש להאיר לילה׃ |
40 The people asked, and he brought quails, and with heavenly bread he satisfied them.
| שאל ויבא שלו ולחם שמים ישביעם׃ |
41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out: they ran in the dry places like a river.
| פתח צור ויזובו מים הלכו בציות נהר׃ |
42 For he remembered his holy word given to Abraham his servant.
| כי זכר את דבר קדשו את אברהם עבדו׃ |
43 And he brought forth his people with gladness, with joyful song his elect.
| ויוצא עמו בששון ברנה את בחיריו׃ |
44 And he gave them the lands of nations; and the labor of people they obtained as an inheritance:
| ויתן להם ארצות גוים ועמל לאמים יירשו׃ |
45 So that they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Hallelujah.
| בעבור ישמרו חקיו ותורתיו ינצרו הללו יה׃ |
