< Psalms 105 >

1 Give thanks to YHWH—call on His Name, Make His acts known among the peoples.
הוֹדוּ לַיהֹוָה קִרְאוּ בִשְׁמוֹ הוֹדִיעוּ בָעַמִּים עֲלִילוֹתָֽיו׃
2 Sing to Him—sing praise to Him, Meditate on all His wonders.
שִֽׁירוּ־לוֹ זַמְּרוּ־לוֹ שִׂיחוּ בְּכׇל־נִפְלְאוֹתָֽיו׃
3 Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking YHWH rejoices.
הִֽתְהַלְלוּ בְּשֵׁם קׇדְשׁוֹ יִשְׂמַח לֵב ׀ מְבַקְשֵׁי יְהֹוָֽה׃
4 Seek YHWH and His strength, Seek His face continually.
דִּרְשׁוּ יְהֹוָה וְעֻזּוֹ בַּקְּשׁוּ פָנָיו תָּמִֽיד׃
5 Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth.
זִכְרוּ נִפְלְאוֹתָיו אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה מֹפְתָיו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי־פִֽיו׃
6 O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
זֶרַע אַבְרָהָם עַבְדּוֹ בְּנֵי יַעֲקֹב בְּחִירָֽיו׃
7 He [is] our God YHWH, His judgments [are] in all the earth.
הוּא יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ בְּכׇל־הָאָרֶץ מִשְׁפָּטָֽיו׃
8 He has remembered His covenant for all time, The word He commanded to one thousand generations,
זָכַר לְעוֹלָם בְּרִיתוֹ דָּבָר צִוָּה לְאֶלֶף דּֽוֹר׃
9 That He has made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,
אֲשֶׁר כָּרַת אֶת־אַבְרָהָם וּשְׁבוּעָתוֹ לְיִשְׂחָֽק׃
10 And establishes it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel—a perpetual covenant,
וַיַּעֲמִידֶהָ לְיַעֲקֹב לְחֹק לְיִשְׂרָאֵל בְּרִית עוֹלָֽם׃
11 Saying, “I give the land of Canaan to you, The portion of your inheritance,”
לֵאמֹר לְךָ אֶתֵּן אֶת־אֶֽרֶץ־כְּנָעַן חֶבֶל נַחֲלַתְכֶֽם׃
12 In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it.
בִּֽהְיוֹתָם מְתֵי מִסְפָּר כִּמְעַט וְגָרִים בָּֽהּ׃
13 And they go up and down, from nation to nation, From a kingdom to another people.
וַיִּֽתְהַלְּכוּ מִגּוֹי אֶל־גּוֹי מִמַּמְלָכָה אֶל־עַם אַחֵֽר׃
14 He has not permitted any to oppress them And He reproves kings for their sakes.
לֹא־הִנִּיחַ אָדָם לְעׇשְׁקָם וַיּוֹכַח עֲלֵיהֶם מְלָכִֽים׃
15 “Do not strike against My anointed, And do no evil to My prophets.”
אַֽל־תִּגְּעוּ בִמְשִׁיחָי וְלִנְבִיאַי אַל־תָּרֵֽעוּ׃
16 And He calls a famine on the land, He has broken the whole staff of bread.
וַיִּקְרָא רָעָב עַל־הָאָרֶץ כׇּֽל־מַטֵּה־לֶחֶם שָׁבָֽר׃
17 He has sent a man before them, Joseph has been sold for a servant.
שָׁלַח לִפְנֵיהֶם אִישׁ לְעֶבֶד נִמְכַּר יוֹסֵֽף׃
18 They have afflicted his feet with chains, Iron has entered his soul,
עִנּוּ בַכֶּבֶל (רגליו) [רַגְלוֹ] בַּרְזֶל בָּאָה נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃
19 Until the time of the coming of His word The saying of YHWH has tried him.
עַד־עֵת בֹּא־דְבָרוֹ אִמְרַת יְהֹוָה צְרָפָֽתְהוּ׃
20 The king has sent, and looses him, The ruler of the peoples, and draws him out.
שָׁלַח מֶלֶךְ וַיַּתִּירֵהוּ מֹשֵׁל עַמִּים וַֽיְפַתְּחֵֽהוּ׃
21 He has made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions.
שָׂמוֹ אָדוֹן לְבֵיתוֹ וּמֹשֵׁל בְּכׇל־קִנְיָנֽוֹ׃
22 To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And he makes his elderly wise.
לֶאְסֹר שָׂרָיו בְּנַפְשׁוֹ וּזְקֵנָיו יְחַכֵּֽם׃
23 And Israel comes into Egypt, And Jacob has sojourned in the land of Ham.
וַיָּבֹא יִשְׂרָאֵל מִצְרָיִם וְיַעֲקֹב גָּר בְּאֶֽרֶץ־חָֽם׃
24 And He makes His people very fruitful, And makes it mightier than its adversaries.
וַיֶּפֶר אֶת־עַמּוֹ מְאֹד וַיַּעֲצִמֵהוּ מִצָּרָֽיו׃
25 He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire against His servants.
הָפַךְ לִבָּם לִשְׂנֹא עַמּוֹ לְהִתְנַכֵּל בַּעֲבָדָֽיו׃
26 He has sent His servant Moses, Aaron whom He had fixed on.
שָׁלַח מֹשֶׁה עַבְדּוֹ אַהֲרֹן אֲשֶׁר בָּחַר־בּֽוֹ׃
27 They have set among them the matters of His signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.
שָֽׂמוּ־בָם דִּבְרֵי אֹתוֹתָיו וּמֹפְתִים בְּאֶרֶץ חָֽם׃
28 He has sent darkness, and it is dark, And they have not provoked His word.
שָׁלַֽח חֹשֶׁךְ וַיַּחְשִׁךְ וְלֹֽא־מָרוּ אֶת־[דְּבָרֽוֹ] (דבריו)׃
29 He has turned their waters to blood, And puts their fish to death.
הָפַךְ אֶת־מֵימֵיהֶם לְדָם וַיָּמֶת אֶת־דְּגָתָֽם׃
30 Their land has teemed [with] frogs, In the inner chambers of their kings.
שָׁרַץ אַרְצָם צְפַרְדְּעִים בְּחַדְרֵי מַלְכֵיהֶֽם׃
31 He has commanded, and the beetle comes, Lice into all their border.
אָמַר וַיָּבֹא עָרֹב כִּנִּים בְּכׇל־גְּבוּלָֽם׃
32 He has made their showers hail, A flaming fire [is] in their land.
נָתַן גִּשְׁמֵיהֶם בָּרָד אֵשׁ לֶהָבוֹת בְּאַרְצָֽם׃
33 And He strikes their vine and their fig, And shatters the trees of their border.
וַיַּךְ גַּפְנָם וּתְאֵנָתָם וַיְשַׁבֵּר עֵץ גְּבוּלָֽם׃
34 He has commanded, and the locust comes, And the cankerworm—innumerable,
אָמַר וַיָּבֹא אַרְבֶּה וְיֶלֶק וְאֵין מִסְפָּֽר׃
35 And it consumes every herb in their land, And it consumes the fruit of their ground.
וַיֹּאכַל כׇּל־עֵשֶׂב בְּאַרְצָם וַיֹּאכַל פְּרִי אַדְמָתָֽם׃
36 And He strikes every firstborn in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,
וַיַּךְ כׇּל־בְּכוֹר בְּאַרְצָם רֵאשִׁית לְכׇל־אוֹנָֽם׃
37 And brings them out with silver and gold, And there is not a feeble one in its tribes.
וַֽיּוֹצִיאֵם בְּכֶסֶף וְזָהָב וְאֵין בִּשְׁבָטָיו כּוֹשֵֽׁל׃
38 Egypt has rejoiced in their going forth, For their fear had fallen on them.
שָׂמַח מִצְרַיִם בְּצֵאתָם כִּֽי־נָפַל פַּחְדָּם עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃
39 He has spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to enlighten the night.
פָּרַשׂ עָנָן לְמָסָךְ וְאֵשׁ לְהָאִיר לָֽיְלָה׃
40 They have asked, and He brings quails, And satisfies them [with] bread of the heavens.
שָׁאַל וַיָּבֵא שְׂלָו וְלֶחֶם שָׁמַיִם יַשְׂבִּיעֵֽם׃
41 He has opened a rock, and waters flow, They have gone on in dry places—a river.
פָּתַח צוּר וַיָּזוּבוּ מָיִם הָלְכוּ בַּצִּיּוֹת נָהָֽר׃
42 For He has remembered His holy word, With His servant Abraham,
כִּֽי־זָכַר אֶת־דְּבַר קׇדְשׁוֹ אֶֽת־אַבְרָהָם עַבְדּֽוֹ׃
43 And He brings forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with singing.
וַיּוֹצִא עַמּוֹ בְשָׂשׂוֹן בְּרִנָּה אֶת־בְּחִירָֽיו׃
44 And He gives to them the lands of nations, And they possess the labor of peoples,
וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם אַרְצוֹת גּוֹיִם וַעֲמַל לְאֻמִּים יִירָֽשׁוּ׃
45 That they may observe His statutes, And may keep His laws. Praise YAH!
בַּעֲבוּר ׀ יִשְׁמְרוּ חֻקָּיו וְתוֹרֹתָיו יִנְצֹרוּ הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
