Ψαλμοί 105
1 αλληλουια ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ ἐπικαλεῖσθε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἀπαγγείλατε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ
Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.
2 ᾄσατε αὐτῷ καὶ ψάλατε αὐτῷ διηγήσασθε πάντα τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ
Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.
3 ἐπαινεῖσθε ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τῷ ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ εὐφρανθήτω καρδία ζητούντων τὸν κύριον
Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
4 ζητήσατε τὸν κύριον καὶ κραταιώθητε ζητήσατε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ διὰ παντός
Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.
5 μνήσθητε τῶν θαυμασίων αὐτοῦ ὧν ἐποίησεν τὰ τέρατα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ κρίματα τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ
Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,
6 σπέρμα Αβρααμ δοῦλοι αὐτοῦ υἱοὶ Ιακωβ ἐκλεκτοὶ αὐτοῦ
O offspring of His servant Abraham, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
7 αὐτὸς κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ τὰ κρίματα αὐτοῦ
He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth.
8 ἐμνήσθη εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα διαθήκης αὐτοῦ λόγου οὗ ἐνετείλατο εἰς χιλίας γενεάς
He remembers His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—
9 ὃν διέθετο τῷ Αβρααμ καὶ τοῦ ὅρκου αὐτοῦ τῷ Ισαακ
the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.
10 καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτὴν τῷ Ιακωβ εἰς πρόσταγμα καὶ τῷ Ισραηλ διαθήκην αἰώνιον
He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
11 λέγων σοὶ δώσω τὴν γῆν Χανααν σχοίνισμα κληρονομίας ὑμῶν
“I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.”
12 ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτοὺς ἀριθμῷ βραχεῖς ὀλιγοστοὺς καὶ παροίκους ἐν αὐτῇ
When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,
13 καὶ διῆλθον ἐξ ἔθνους εἰς ἔθνος ἐκ βασιλείας εἰς λαὸν ἕτερον
they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
14 οὐκ ἀφῆκεν ἄνθρωπον ἀδικῆσαι αὐτοὺς καὶ ἤλεγξεν ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν βασιλεῖς
He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:
15 μὴ ἅπτεσθε τῶν χριστῶν μου καὶ ἐν τοῖς προφήταις μου μὴ πονηρεύεσθε
“Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!”
16 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν λιμὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν πᾶν στήριγμα ἄρτου συνέτριψεν
He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food.
17 ἀπέστειλεν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν ἄνθρωπον εἰς δοῦλον ἐπράθη Ιωσηφ
He sent a man before them— Joseph, sold as a slave.
18 ἐταπείνωσαν ἐν πέδαις τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ σίδηρον διῆλθεν ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ
They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons,
19 μέχρι τοῦ ἐλθεῖν τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ τὸ λόγιον κυρίου ἐπύρωσεν αὐτόν
until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right.
20 ἀπέστειλεν βασιλεὺς καὶ ἔλυσεν αὐτόν ἄρχων λαῶν καὶ ἀφῆκεν αὐτόν
The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.
21 κατέστησεν αὐτὸν κύριον τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἄρχοντα πάσης τῆς κτήσεως αὐτοῦ
He made him master of his household, ruler over all his substance,
22 τοῦ παιδεῦσαι τοὺς ἄρχοντας αὐτοῦ ὡς ἑαυτὸν καὶ τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους αὐτοῦ σοφίσαι
to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.
23 καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ισραηλ εἰς Αἴγυπτον καὶ Ιακωβ παρῴκησεν ἐν γῇ Χαμ
Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.
24 καὶ ηὔξησεν τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ σφόδρα καὶ ἐκραταίωσεν αὐτὸν ὑπὲρ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ
And the LORD made His people very fruitful, more numerous than their foes,
25 μετέστρεψεν τὴν καρδίαν αὐτῶν τοῦ μισῆσαι τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ τοῦ δολιοῦσθαι ἐν τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ
whose hearts He turned to hate His people, to conspire against His servants.
26 ἐξαπέστειλεν Μωυσῆν τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ Ααρων ὃν ἐξελέξατο αὐτόν
He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.
27 ἔθετο ἐν αὐτοῖς τοὺς λόγους τῶν σημείων αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν τεράτων ἐν γῇ Χαμ
They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 ἐξαπέστειλεν σκότος καὶ ἐσκότασεν καὶ παρεπίκραναν τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ
He sent darkness, and it became dark— yet they defied His words.
29 μετέστρεψεν τὰ ὕδατα αὐτῶν εἰς αἷμα καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν τοὺς ἰχθύας αὐτῶν
He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die.
30 ἐξῆρψεν ἡ γῆ αὐτῶν βατράχους ἐν τοῖς ταμιείοις τῶν βασιλέων αὐτῶν
Their land teemed with frogs, even in their royal chambers.
31 εἶπεν καὶ ἦλθεν κυνόμυια καὶ σκνῖπες ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ὁρίοις αὐτῶν
He spoke, and insects swarmed— gnats throughout their country.
32 ἔθετο τὰς βροχὰς αὐτῶν χάλαζαν πῦρ καταφλέγον ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτῶν
He gave them hail for rain, with lightning throughout their land.
33 καὶ ἐπάταξεν τὰς ἀμπέλους αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς συκᾶς αὐτῶν καὶ συνέτριψεν πᾶν ξύλον ὁρίου αὐτῶν
He struck their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country.
34 εἶπεν καὶ ἦλθεν ἀκρὶς καὶ βροῦχος οὗ οὐκ ἦν ἀριθμός
He spoke, and the locusts came— young locusts without number.
35 καὶ κατέφαγεν πάντα τὸν χόρτον ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτῶν καὶ κατέφαγεν τὸν καρπὸν τῆς γῆς αὐτῶν
They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil.
36 καὶ ἐπάταξεν πᾶν πρωτότοκον ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτῶν ἀπαρχὴν παντὸς πόνου αὐτῶν
Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.
37 καὶ ἐξήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ἐν ἀργυρίῳ καὶ χρυσίῳ καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἐν ταῖς φυλαῖς αὐτῶν ἀσθενῶν
He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled.
38 εὐφράνθη Αἴγυπτος ἐν τῇ ἐξόδῳ αὐτῶν ὅτι ἐπέπεσεν ὁ φόβος αὐτῶν ἐπ’ αὐτούς
Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.
39 διεπέτασεν νεφέλην εἰς σκέπην αὐτοῖς καὶ πῦρ τοῦ φωτίσαι αὐτοῖς τὴν νύκτα
He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night.
40 ᾔτησαν καὶ ἦλθεν ὀρτυγομήτρα καὶ ἄρτον οὐρανοῦ ἐνέπλησεν αὐτούς
They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 διέρρηξεν πέτραν καὶ ἐρρύησαν ὕδατα ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν ἀνύδροις ποταμοί
He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.
42 ὅτι ἐμνήσθη τοῦ λόγου τοῦ ἁγίου αὐτοῦ τοῦ πρὸς Αβρααμ τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ
For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant.
43 καὶ ἐξήγαγεν τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀγαλλιάσει καὶ τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ
He brought forth His people with rejoicing, His chosen with shouts of joy.
44 καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς χώρας ἐθνῶν καὶ πόνους λαῶν ἐκληρονόμησαν
He gave them the lands of the nations, that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor,
45 ὅπως ἂν φυλάξωσιν τὰ δικαιώματα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν νόμον αὐτοῦ ἐκζητήσωσιν
that they might keep His statutes and obey His laws. Hallelujah!
