תהילים 105

1 הוֹדוּ לַיהֹוָה קִרְאוּ בִשְׁמוֹ הוֹדִיעוּ בָעַמִּים עֲלִילוֹתָֽיו׃

Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name: make known his deeds among the nations.

2 שִֽׁירוּ־לוֹ זַמְּרוּ־לוֹ שִׂיחוּ בְּכׇל־נִפְלְאוֹתָֽיו׃

Sing to him, make music to him, tell of all his wondrous works.

3 הִֽתְהַלְלוּ בְּשֵׁם קׇדְשׁוֹ יִשְׂמַח לֵב ׀ מְבַקְשֵׁי יְהֹוָֽה׃

Make your boast in his holy name, be glad at heart, you who seek the Lord.

4 דִּרְשׁוּ יְהֹוָה וְעֻזּוֹ בַּקְּשׁוּ פָנָיו תָּמִֽיד׃

Seek after the Lord and his strength, seek his face evermore.

5 זִכְרוּ נִפְלְאוֹתָיו אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה מֹפְתָיו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי־פִֽיו׃

Remember the wonders he did, his portents, the judgments he uttered,

6 זֶרַע אַבְרָהָם עַבְדּוֹ בְּנֵי יַעֲקֹב בְּחִירָֽיו׃

you who are offspring of Abraham, his servant, the children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

7 הוּא יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ בְּכׇל־הָאָרֶץ מִשְׁפָּטָֽיו׃

He is the Lord our God: in all the earth are his judgments.

8 זָכַר לְעוֹלָם בְּרִיתוֹ דָּבָר צִוָּה לְאֶלֶף דּֽוֹר׃

He remembers forever his covenant, his promise for a thousand generations

9 אֲשֶׁר כָּרַת אֶת־אַבְרָהָם וּשְׁבוּעָתוֹ לְיִשְׂחָֽק׃

The covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac,

10 וַיַּעֲמִידֶהָ לְיַעֲקֹב לְחֹק לְיִשְׂרָאֵל בְּרִית עוֹלָֽם׃

and confirmed as a statute to Jacob, a pact everlasting to Israel

11 לֵאמֹר לְךָ אֶתֵּן אֶת־אֶֽרֶץ־כְּנָעַן חֶבֶל נַחֲלַתְכֶֽם׃

to give them the land of Canaan as the lot which they should inherit.

12 בִּֽהְיוֹתָם מְתֵי מִסְפָּר כִּמְעַט וְגָרִים בָּֽהּ׃

And when they were very few, few and but pilgrims therein,

13 וַיִּֽתְהַלְּכוּ מִגּוֹי אֶל־גּוֹי מִמַּמְלָכָה אֶל־עַם אַחֵֽר׃

wandering from nation to nation, journeying from people to people,

14 לֹא־הִנִּיחַ אָדָם לְעׇשְׁקָם וַיּוֹכַח עֲלֵיהֶם מְלָכִֽים׃

he allowed no one to oppress them, even punishing kings for their sakes.

15 אַֽל־תִּגְּעוּ בִמְשִׁיחָי וְלִנְבִיאַי אַל־תָּרֵֽעוּ׃

He forbade them to touch his anointed, or do any hurt to his prophets.

16 וַיִּקְרָא רָעָב עַל־הָאָרֶץ כׇּֽל־מַטֵּה־לֶחֶם שָׁבָֽר׃

When he called down famine on the land, and cut off the bread which sustained them,

17 שָׁלַח לִפְנֵיהֶם אִישׁ לְעֶבֶד נִמְכַּר יוֹסֵֽף׃

he sent before them a man, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

18 עִנּוּ בַכֶּבֶל (רגליו) [רַגְלוֹ] בַּרְזֶל בָּאָה נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃

His feet were galled with fetters, he was laid in chains of iron,

19 עַד־עֵת בֹּא־דְבָרוֹ אִמְרַת יְהֹוָה צְרָפָֽתְהוּ׃

till the time that his word came to pass, the word of the Lord that had tried him.

20 שָׁלַח מֶלֶךְ וַיַּתִּירֵהוּ מֹשֵׁל עַמִּים וַֽיְפַתְּחֵֽהוּ׃

The king sent and freed him, the ruler of nations released him.

21 שָׂמוֹ אָדוֹן לְבֵיתוֹ וּמֹשֵׁל בְּכׇל־קִנְיָנֽוֹ׃

He made him lord of his household, and ruler of all his possessions,

22 לֶאְסֹר שָׂרָיו בְּנַפְשׁוֹ וּזְקֵנָיו יְחַכֵּֽם׃

to admonish his princes at will and instruct his elders in wisdom.

23 וַיָּבֹא יִשְׂרָאֵל מִצְרָיִם וְיַעֲקֹב גָּר בְּאֶֽרֶץ־חָֽם׃

Thus Israel came into Egypt, Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

24 וַיֶּפֶר אֶת־עַמּוֹ מְאֹד וַיַּעֲצִמֵהוּ מִצָּרָֽיו׃

His people he made very fruitful, and mightier than their foes.

25 הָפַךְ לִבָּם לִשְׂנֹא עַמּוֹ לְהִתְנַכֵּל בַּעֲבָדָֽיו׃

He inspired them to hate his people, and to deal with his servants craftily.

26 שָׁלַח מֹשֶׁה עַבְדּוֹ אַהֲרֹן אֲשֶׁר בָּחַר־בּֽוֹ׃

He sent his servant Moses, and Aaron whom he had chosen,

27 שָֽׂמוּ־בָם דִּבְרֵי אֹתוֹתָיו וּמֹפְתִים בְּאֶרֶץ חָֽם׃

portents he wrought in Egypt, and signs in the land of Ham.

28 שָׁלַֽח חֹשֶׁךְ וַיַּחְשִׁךְ וְלֹֽא־מָרוּ אֶת־[דְּבָרֽוֹ] (דבריו)׃

Darkness he sent, and it fell: yet they gave no heed to his word.

29 הָפַךְ אֶת־מֵימֵיהֶם לְדָם וַיָּמֶת אֶת־דְּגָתָֽם׃

He turned their waters into blood, thus causing their fish to die.

30 שָׁרַץ אַרְצָם צְפַרְדְּעִים בְּחַדְרֵי מַלְכֵיהֶֽם׃

Their land was alive with frogs, swarming even in the royal chambers.

31 אָמַר וַיָּבֹא עָרֹב כִּנִּים בְּכׇל־גְּבוּלָֽם׃

At his command came flies, and lice in all their borders.

32 נָתַן גִּשְׁמֵיהֶם בָּרָד אֵשׁ לֶהָבוֹת בְּאַרְצָֽם׃

He gave them hail for rain and fire that flashed through the land,

33 וַיַּךְ גַּפְנָם וּתְאֵנָתָם וַיְשַׁבֵּר עֵץ גְּבוּלָֽם׃

smiting their vines and figs, breaking the trees of their border.

34 אָמַר וַיָּבֹא אַרְבֶּה וְיֶלֶק וְאֵין מִסְפָּֽר׃

At his command came locusts, young locusts beyond all counting,

35 וַיֹּאכַל כׇּל־עֵשֶׂב בְּאַרְצָם וַיֹּאכַל פְּרִי אַדְמָתָֽם׃

which ate every herb in the land, ate up, too, the fruit of their ground.

36 וַיַּךְ כׇּל־בְּכוֹר בְּאַרְצָם רֵאשִׁית לְכׇל־אוֹנָֽם׃

He struck down in their land all the firstborn, the firstlings of all their strength

37 וַֽיּוֹצִיאֵם בְּכֶסֶף וְזָהָב וְאֵין בִּשְׁבָטָיו כּוֹשֵֽׁל׃

Then forth he led Israel with silver and gold, and among his tribes no one was weary.

38 שָׂמַח מִצְרַיִם בְּצֵאתָם כִּֽי־נָפַל פַּחְדָּם עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃

Egypt was glad when they left, for terror had fallen upon them.

39 פָּרַשׂ עָנָן לְמָסָךְ וְאֵשׁ לְהָאִיר לָֽיְלָה׃

He spread out a cloud to screen them, and fire to give light in the night.

40 שָׁאַל וַיָּבֵא שְׂלָו וְלֶחֶם שָׁמַיִם יַשְׂבִּיעֵֽם׃

He sent quails at their entreaty, and heavenly bread in abundance.

41 פָּתַח צוּר וַיָּזוּבוּ מָיִם הָלְכוּ בַּצִּיּוֹת נָהָֽר׃

He opened the rock; waters gushed: in the desert they ran like a river.

42 כִּֽי־זָכַר אֶת־דְּבַר קׇדְשׁוֹ אֶֽת־אַבְרָהָם עַבְדּֽוֹ׃

For he remembered his holy promise to Abraham his servant.

43 וַיּוֹצִא עַמּוֹ בְשָׂשׂוֹן בְּרִנָּה אֶת־בְּחִירָֽיו׃

So he led out his people with joy, his elect with a ringing cry.

44 וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם אַרְצוֹת גּוֹיִם וַעֲמַל לְאֻמִּים יִירָֽשׁוּ׃

And he gave them the lands of the nations, the fruit of their toil for possession,

45 בַּעֲבוּר ׀ יִשְׁמְרוּ חֻקָּיו וְתוֹרֹתָיו יִנְצֹרוּ הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃

that so they might keep his statutes, and be of his laws observant. Hallelujah.
