Psalms 105
1 Give thanks to Yahweh, call on his name; make known his deeds among the nations.
O give thanks unto the LORD; Call upon his name; Make known his deeds among the people!
2 Sing to him, sing praises to him; speak of all his marvelous deeds.
Sing unto him; sing psalms unto him; Tell ye of all his wondrous works!
3 Boast in his holy name; let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
Glory ye in his holy name; Let the hearts of them that seek the LORD rejoice!
4 Seek Yahweh and his strength; seek his presence continually.
Seek the LORD, and his majesty; Seek his face continually!
5 Recall the marvelous things he has done, his miracles and the decrees from his mouth,
Remember the wonders he hath wrought, His miracles and the judgments of his mouth,
6 you descendants of Abraham his servant, you people of Jacob, his chosen ones.
Ye offspring of Abraham his servant, Ye children of Jacob his chosen!
7 He is Yahweh, our God. His decrees are on all the earth.
Jehovah, he is our God, His judgments are over all the earth.
8 He keeps in mind his covenant forever, the word that he commanded for a thousand generations.
He remembereth his covenant for ever, And the promise to a thousand generations;
9 He calls to mind the covenant that he made with Abraham and his oath to Isaac.
The covenant which he made with Abraham, And the oath which he gave to Isaac;
10 This is what he confirmed to Jacob as a statute and to Israel as an everlasting covenant.
Which he confirmed to Jacob for a decree, And to Israel for an everlasting covenant.
11 He said, “I will give you the land of Canaan as your share of your inheritance.”
“To thee,” said he, “will I give the land of Canaan For the lot of your inheritance.”
12 He said this when they were only few in number, so very few, and were strangers in the land.
When they were yet few in number, Very few, and strangers in the land;
13 They went from nation to nation and from one kingdom to another.
When they went from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people,
14 He did not allow anyone to oppress them; he rebuked kings for their sakes.
He suffered no man to oppress them; Yea, he rebuked kings for their sakes.
15 He said, “Do not touch my anointed ones, and do not harm my prophets.”
“Touch not,” said he, “mine anointed, And do my prophets no harm!”
16 He called for a famine on the land; he cut off the whole supply of bread.
Again, when he commanded a famine in the land, And broke the whole staff of bread,
17 He sent a man ahead of them; Joseph was sold as a servant.
He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold as a slave.
18 His feet were bound by shackles; on his neck was put an iron collar,
His feet they hurt with fetters; He was bound in chains of iron;
19 until what he had said came to pass. The word of Yahweh tested him.
Until his prediction came to pass, And the word of the LORD proved him.
20 The king sent servants to release him; the ruler of the people set him free.
Then the king sent, and loosed him; The ruler of nations, and set him free;
21 He put him in charge of his house as ruler of all his possessions
He made him governor of his house, And lord of all his possessions;
22 to instruct his princes as he wished and to teach his elders wisdom.
To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his counsellors wisdom.
23 Then Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob lived for a time in the land of Ham.
Israel also came into Egypt, And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham;
24 Yahweh made his people fruitful, and made them stronger than their enemies.
Where God increased his people greatly, And made them stronger than their enemies.
25 He caused their enemies to hate his people, to mistreat his servants.
He turned their hearts to hate his people, And form devices against his servants.
26 He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
Then sent he Moses his servant, And Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27 They performed his signs among the Egyptians, his wonders in the land of Ham.
They showed his signs among them, And his wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness and made that land dark, but its people did not obey his commands.
He sent darkness upon them, and made it dark; And they did not disobey his word.
29 He turned their water into blood and killed their fish.
He turned their waters into blood, And caused their fish to die.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their rulers.
Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, Even in the chambers of their kings.
31 He spoke, and swarms of flies and gnats came throughout their country.
He spake, and there came flies, And lice in all their coasts.
32 He turned their rain into hail, with fire flaming on their land.
Instead of rain he gave them hail, And flaming fire in their land.
33 He destroyed their vines and fig trees; he broke the trees of their country.
He smote also their vines and fig-trees, And broke the trees of their coasts.
34 He spoke, and the locusts came, so many locusts.
He spake, and the locusts came. Destructive locusts without number,
35 The locusts ate up all of the vegetation in their land; They ate up all the crops of the ground.
Which ate up all the herbage in their land, And devoured the fruits of their fields.
36 He killed every firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their strength.
Then he smote all the first-born in their land, The first-fruits of all their strength.
37 He brought the Israelites out with silver and gold; none of his tribes stumbled on the way.
He led forth his people with silver and gold; Nor was there one feeble person in all their tribes.
38 Egypt was glad when they went away, for the Egyptians were afraid of them.
Egypt was glad when they departed, For their terror had fallen upon them.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering and made a fire to light up the night.
He spread out a cloud for a covering, And fire to give light by night.
40 The Israelites asked for food, and he brought quail and satisfied them with bread from heaven.
They asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 He split the rock, and waters gushed from it; they flowed in the wilderness like a river.
He opened the rock, and the waters gushed forth, And ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For he called to mind his holy promise that he made to Abraham his servant.
For he remembered his holy promise, Which he had made to Abraham his servant;
43 He led his people out with joy, his chosen with shouts of triumph.
And he led forth his people with joy, And his chosen with gladness.
44 He gave them the lands of the nations; they took possession of the wealth of the peoples
He gave to them the lands of the nations, And they inherited the labor of the peoples;
45 so that they might keep his statutes and obey his laws. Praise Yahweh.
That they might observe his statutes, And obey his laws. Praise ye the LORD!
