תְהִלִּים 105
| הֹוד֣וּ לַ֭יהוָה קִרְא֣וּ בִּשְׁמֹ֑ו הֹודִ֥יעוּ בָ֝עַמִּ֗ים עֲלִילֹותָֽיו׃ | 1 |
Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.
| שִֽׁירוּ־לֹ֖ו זַמְּרוּ־לֹ֑ו שִׂ֝֗יחוּ בְּכָל־נִפְלְאֹותָֽיו׃ | 2 |
Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.
| הִֽ֭תְהַלְלוּ בְּשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשֹׁ֑ו יִ֝שְׂמַ֗ח לֵ֤ב ׀ מְבַקְשֵׁ֬י יְהוָֽה׃ | 3 |
Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
| דִּרְשׁ֣וּ יְהוָ֣ה וְעֻזֹּ֑ו בַּקְּשׁ֖וּ פָנָ֣יו תָּמִֽיד׃ | 4 |
Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.
| זִכְר֗וּ נִפְלְאֹותָ֥יו אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂ֑ה מֹ֝פְתָ֗יו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי־פִֽיו׃ | 5 |
Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,
| זֶ֭רַע אַבְרָהָ֣ם עַבְדֹּ֑ו בְּנֵ֖י יַעֲקֹ֣ב בְּחִירָֽיו׃ | 6 |
O offspring of His servant Abraham, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
| ה֭וּא יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ בְּכָל־הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ מִשְׁפָּטָֽיו׃ | 7 |
He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth.
| זָכַ֣ר לְעֹולָ֣ם בְּרִיתֹ֑ו דָּבָ֥ר צִ֝וָּ֗ה לְאֶ֣לֶף דֹּֽור׃ | 8 |
He remembers His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—
| אֲשֶׁ֣ר כָּ֭רַת אֶת־אַבְרָהָ֑ם וּשְׁב֖וּעָתֹ֣ו לְיִשְׂחָֽק׃ | 9 |
the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.
| וַיַּֽעֲמִידֶ֣הָ לְיַעֲקֹ֣ב לְחֹ֑ק לְ֝יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל בְּרִ֣ית עֹולָֽם׃ | 10 |
He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
| לֵאמֹ֗ר לְךָ֗ אֶתֵּ֥ן אֶת־אֶֽרֶץ־כְּנָ֑עַן חֶ֝֗בֶל נַחֲלַתְכֶֽם׃ | 11 |
“I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.”
| בִּֽ֭הְיֹותָם מְתֵ֣י מִסְפָּ֑ר כִּ֝מְעַ֗ט וְגָרִ֥ים בָּֽהּ׃ | 12 |
When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,
| וַֽ֭יִּתְהַלְּכוּ מִגֹּ֣וי אֶל־גֹּ֑וי מִ֝מַּמְלָכָ֗ה אֶל־עַ֥ם אַחֵֽר׃ | 13 |
they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
| לֹֽא־הִנִּ֣יחַ אָדָ֣ם לְעָשְׁקָ֑ם וַיֹּ֖וכַח עֲלֵיהֶ֣ם מְלָכִֽים׃ | 14 |
He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:
| אַֽל־תִּגְּע֥וּ בִמְשִׁיחָ֑י וְ֝לִנְבִיאַי אַל־תָּרֵֽעוּ׃ | 15 |
“Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!”
| וַיִּקְרָ֣א רָ֭עָב עַל־הָאָ֑רֶץ כָּֽל־מַטֵּה־לֶ֥חֶם שָׁבָֽר׃ | 16 |
He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food.
| שָׁלַ֣ח לִפְנֵיהֶ֣ם אִ֑ישׁ לְ֝עֶ֗בֶד נִמְכַּ֥ר יֹוסֵֽף׃ | 17 |
He sent a man before them— Joseph, sold as a slave.
| עִנּ֣וּ בַכֶּ֣בֶל רַגְלָיו (רַגְלֹ֑ו) בַּ֝רְזֶ֗ל בָּ֣אָה נַפְשֹֽׁו׃ | 18 |
They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons,
| עַד־עֵ֥ת בֹּֽא־דְבָרֹ֑ו אִמְרַ֖ת יְהוָ֣ה צְרָפָֽתְהוּ׃ | 19 |
until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right.
| שָׁ֣לַח מֶ֭לֶךְ וַיַתִּירֵ֑הוּ מֹשֵׁ֥ל עַ֝מִּ֗ים וַֽיְפַתְּחֵֽהוּ׃ | 20 |
The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.
| שָׂמֹ֣ו אָדֹ֣ון לְבֵיתֹ֑ו וּ֝מֹשֵׁ֗ל בְּכָל־קִנְיָנֹֽו׃ | 21 |
He made him master of his household, ruler over all his substance,
| לֶאְסֹ֣ר שָׂרָ֣יו בְּנַפְשֹׁ֑ו וּזְקֵנָ֥יו יְחַכֵּֽם׃ | 22 |
to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.
| וַיָּבֹ֣א יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל מִצְרָ֑יִם וְ֝יַעֲקֹ֗ב גָּ֣ר בְּאֶֽרֶץ־חָֽם׃ | 23 |
Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.
| וַיֶּ֣פֶר אֶת־עַמֹּ֣ו מְאֹ֑ד וַ֝יַּֽעֲצִמֵהוּ מִצָּרָֽיו׃ | 24 |
And the LORD made His people very fruitful, more numerous than their foes,
| הָפַ֣ךְ לִ֭בָּם לִשְׂנֹ֣א עַמֹּ֑ו לְ֝הִתְנַכֵּ֗ל בַּעֲבָדָֽיו׃ | 25 |
whose hearts He turned to hate His people, to conspire against His servants.
| שָׁ֭לַח מֹשֶׁ֣ה עַבְדֹּ֑ו אַ֝הֲרֹ֗ן אֲשֶׁ֣ר בָּֽחַר־בֹּֽו׃ | 26 |
He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.
| שָֽׂמוּ־בָ֭ם דִּבְרֵ֣י אֹתֹותָ֑יו וּ֝מֹפְתִ֗ים בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חָֽם׃ | 27 |
They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
| שָׁ֣לַֽח חֹ֭שֶׁךְ וַיַּחְשִׁ֑ךְ וְלֹֽא־מָ֝ר֗וּ אֶת־דְּבָרָוו (דְּבָרֹֽו)׃ | 28 |
He sent darkness, and it became dark— yet they defied His words.
| הָפַ֣ךְ אֶת־מֵימֵיהֶ֣ם לְדָ֑ם וַ֝יָּ֗מֶת אֶת־דְּגָתָֽם׃ | 29 |
He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die.
| שָׁרַ֣ץ אַרְצָ֣ם צְפַרְדְּעִ֑ים בְּ֝חַדְרֵ֗י מַלְכֵיהֶֽם׃ | 30 |
Their land teemed with frogs, even in their royal chambers.
| אָ֭מַר וַיָּבֹ֣א עָרֹ֑ב כִּ֝נִּ֗ים בְּכָל־גְּבוּלָֽם׃ | 31 |
He spoke, and insects swarmed— gnats throughout their country.
| נָתַ֣ן גִּשְׁמֵיהֶ֣ם בָּרָ֑ד אֵ֖שׁ לֶהָבֹ֣ות בְּאַרְצָֽם׃ | 32 |
He gave them hail for rain, with lightning throughout their land.
| וַיַּ֣ךְ גַּ֭פְנָם וּתְאֵנָתָ֑ם וַ֝יְשַׁבֵּ֗ר עֵ֣ץ גְּבוּלָֽם׃ | 33 |
He struck their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country.
| אָ֭מַר וַיָּבֹ֣א אַרְבֶּ֑ה וְ֝יֶ֗לֶק וְאֵ֣ין מִסְפָּֽר׃ | 34 |
He spoke, and the locusts came— young locusts without number.
| וַיֹּ֣אכַל כָּל־עֵ֣שֶׂב בְּאַרְצָ֑ם וַ֝יֹּ֗אכַל פְּרִ֣י אַדְמָתָֽם׃ | 35 |
They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil.
| וַיַּ֣ךְ כָּל־בְּכֹ֣ור בְּאַרְצָ֑ם רֵ֝אשִׁ֗ית לְכָל־אֹונָֽם׃ | 36 |
Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.
| וַֽ֭יֹּוצִיאֵם בְּכֶ֣סֶף וְזָהָ֑ב וְאֵ֖ין בִּשְׁבָטָ֣יו כֹּושֵֽׁל׃ | 37 |
He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled.
| שָׂמַ֣ח מִצְרַ֣יִם בְּצֵאתָ֑ם כִּֽי־נָפַ֖ל פַּחְדָּ֣ם עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃ | 38 |
Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.
| פָּרַ֣שׂ עָנָ֣ן לְמָסָ֑ךְ וְ֝אֵ֗שׁ לְהָאִ֥יר לָֽיְלָה׃ | 39 |
He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night.
| שָׁאַ֣ל וַיָּבֵ֣א שְׂלָ֑ו וְלֶ֥חֶם שָׁ֝מַ֗יִם יַשְׂבִּיעֵֽם׃ | 40 |
They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
| פָּ֣תַח צ֭וּר וַיָּז֣וּבוּ מָ֑יִם הָ֝לְכ֗וּ בַּצִּיֹּ֥ות נָהָֽר׃ | 41 |
He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.
| כִּֽי־זָ֭כַר אֶת־דְּבַ֣ר קָדְשֹׁ֑ו אֶֽת־אַבְרָהָ֥ם עַבְדֹּֽו׃ | 42 |
For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant.
| וַיֹּוצִ֣א עַמֹּ֣ו בְשָׂשֹׂ֑ון בְּ֝רִנָּ֗ה אֶת־בְּחִירָֽיו׃ | 43 |
He brought forth His people with rejoicing, His chosen with shouts of joy.
| וַיִּתֵּ֣ן לָ֭הֶם אַרְצֹ֣ות גֹּויִ֑ם וַעֲמַ֖ל לְאֻמִּ֣ים יִירָֽשׁוּ׃ | 44 |
He gave them the lands of the nations, that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor,
| בַּעֲב֤וּר ׀ יִשְׁמְר֣וּ חֻ֭קָּיו וְתֹורֹתָ֥יו יִנְצֹ֗רוּ הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ | 45 |
that they might keep His statutes and obey His laws. Hallelujah!
