Psalms 105
1 Give thanks to Yahweh, call on his name; make known his deeds among the nations.
| הודו ליהוה קראו בשמו הודיעו בעמים עלילותיו׃ |
2 Sing to him, sing praises to him; speak of all his marvelous deeds.
| שירו לו זמרו לו שיחו בכל נפלאותיו׃ |
3 Boast in his holy name; let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
| התהללו בשם קדשו ישמח לב מבקשי יהוה׃ |
4 Seek Yahweh and his strength; seek his presence continually.
| דרשו יהוה ועזו בקשו פניו תמיד׃ |
5 Recall the marvelous things he has done, his miracles and the decrees from his mouth,
| זכרו נפלאותיו אשר עשה מפתיו ומשפטי פיו׃ |
6 you descendants of Abraham his servant, you people of Jacob, his chosen ones.
| זרע אברהם עבדו בני יעקב בחיריו׃ |
7 He is Yahweh, our God. His decrees are on all the earth.
| הוא יהוה אלהינו בכל הארץ משפטיו׃ |
8 He keeps in mind his covenant forever, the word that he commanded for a thousand generations.
| זכר לעולם בריתו דבר צוה לאלף דור׃ |
9 He calls to mind the covenant that he made with Abraham and his oath to Isaac.
| אשר כרת את אברהם ושבועתו לישחק׃ |
10 This is what he confirmed to Jacob as a statute and to Israel as an everlasting covenant.
| ויעמידה ליעקב לחק לישראל ברית עולם׃ |
11 He said, “I will give you the land of Canaan as your share of your inheritance.”
| לאמר לך אתן את ארץ כנען חבל נחלתכם׃ |
12 He said this when they were only few in number, so very few, and were strangers in the land.
| בהיותם מתי מספר כמעט וגרים בה׃ |
13 They went from nation to nation and from one kingdom to another.
| ויתהלכו מגוי אל גוי מממלכה אל עם אחר׃ |
14 He did not allow anyone to oppress them; he rebuked kings for their sakes.
| לא הניח אדם לעשקם ויוכח עליהם מלכים׃ |
15 He said, “Do not touch my anointed ones, and do not harm my prophets.”
| אל תגעו במשיחי ולנביאי אל תרעו׃ |
16 He called for a famine on the land; he cut off the whole supply of bread.
| ויקרא רעב על הארץ כל מטה לחם שבר׃ |
17 He sent a man ahead of them; Joseph was sold as a servant.
| שלח לפניהם איש לעבד נמכר יוסף׃ |
18 His feet were bound by shackles; on his neck was put an iron collar,
| ענו בכבל רגליו ברזל באה נפשו׃ |
19 until what he had said came to pass. The word of Yahweh tested him.
| עד עת בא דברו אמרת יהוה צרפתהו׃ |
20 The king sent servants to release him; the ruler of the people set him free.
| שלח מלך ויתירהו משל עמים ויפתחהו׃ |
21 He put him in charge of his house as ruler of all his possessions
| שמו אדון לביתו ומשל בכל קנינו׃ |
22 to instruct his princes as he wished and to teach his elders wisdom.
| לאסר שריו בנפשו וזקניו יחכם׃ |
23 Then Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob lived for a time in the land of Ham.
| ויבא ישראל מצרים ויעקב גר בארץ חם׃ |
24 Yahweh made his people fruitful, and made them stronger than their enemies.
| ויפר את עמו מאד ויעצמהו מצריו׃ |
25 He caused their enemies to hate his people, to mistreat his servants.
| הפך לבם לשנא עמו להתנכל בעבדיו׃ |
26 He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
| שלח משה עבדו אהרן אשר בחר בו׃ |
27 They performed his signs among the Egyptians, his wonders in the land of Ham.
| שמו בם דברי אתותיו ומפתים בארץ חם׃ |
28 He sent darkness and made that land dark, but its people did not obey his commands.
| שלח חשך ויחשך ולא מרו את דבריו׃ |
29 He turned their water into blood and killed their fish.
| הפך את מימיהם לדם וימת את דגתם׃ |
30 Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their rulers.
| שרץ ארצם צפרדעים בחדרי מלכיהם׃ |
31 He spoke, and swarms of flies and gnats came throughout their country.
| אמר ויבא ערב כנים בכל גבולם׃ |
32 He turned their rain into hail, with fire flaming on their land.
| נתן גשמיהם ברד אש להבות בארצם׃ |
33 He destroyed their vines and fig trees; he broke the trees of their country.
| ויך גפנם ותאנתם וישבר עץ גבולם׃ |
34 He spoke, and the locusts came, so many locusts.
| אמר ויבא ארבה וילק ואין מספר׃ |
35 The locusts ate up all of the vegetation in their land; They ate up all the crops of the ground.
| ויאכל כל עשב בארצם ויאכל פרי אדמתם׃ |
36 He killed every firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their strength.
| ויך כל בכור בארצם ראשית לכל אונם׃ |
37 He brought the Israelites out with silver and gold; none of his tribes stumbled on the way.
| ויוציאם בכסף וזהב ואין בשבטיו כושל׃ |
38 Egypt was glad when they went away, for the Egyptians were afraid of them.
| שמח מצרים בצאתם כי נפל פחדם עליהם׃ |
39 He spread a cloud for a covering and made a fire to light up the night.
| פרש ענן למסך ואש להאיר לילה׃ |
40 The Israelites asked for food, and he brought quail and satisfied them with bread from heaven.
| שאל ויבא שלו ולחם שמים ישביעם׃ |
41 He split the rock, and waters gushed from it; they flowed in the wilderness like a river.
| פתח צור ויזובו מים הלכו בציות נהר׃ |
42 For he called to mind his holy promise that he made to Abraham his servant.
| כי זכר את דבר קדשו את אברהם עבדו׃ |
43 He led his people out with joy, his chosen with shouts of triumph.
| ויוצא עמו בששון ברנה את בחיריו׃ |
44 He gave them the lands of the nations; they took possession of the wealth of the peoples
| ויתן להם ארצות גוים ועמל לאמים יירשו׃ |
45 so that they might keep his statutes and obey his laws. Praise Yahweh.
| בעבור ישמרו חקיו ותורתיו ינצרו הללו יה׃ |
