תְהִלִּים 105
| הוֹד֣וּ לַ֭יהוָה קִרְא֣וּ בִּשְׁמ֑וֹ הוֹדִ֥יעוּ בָ֝עַמִּ֗ים עֲלִילוֹתָֽיו׃ | 1 |
Give ye thanks to Yahweh, Call upon his Name, Make known, among the peoples, his doings;
| שִֽׁירוּ־ל֭וֹ זַמְּרוּ־ל֑וֹ שִׂ֝֗יחוּ בְּכָל־נִפְלְאוֹתָֽיו ׃ | 2 |
Sing ye to him, Make ye music to him, Speak ye of all his wonders.
| הִֽ֭תְהַלְלוּ בְּשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשׁ֑וֹ יִ֝שְׂמַ֗ח לֵ֤ב ׀ מְבַקְשֵׁ֬י יְהוָֽה׃ | 3 |
Make your boast in his holy Name, Joyful be the heart of them who are seeking Yahweh.
| דִּרְשׁ֣וּ יְהוָ֣ה וְעֻזּ֑וֹ בַּקְּשׁ֖וּ פָנָ֣יו תָּמִֽיד׃ | 4 |
Search out Yahweh and his strength, Seek diligently his face at all times.
| זִכְר֗וּ נִפְלְאוֹתָ֥יו אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂ֑ה מֹ֝פְתָ֗יו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי־פִֽיו ׃ | 5 |
Remember his wonders which he hath done, His portents, and the just decisions of his mouth.
| זֶ֭רַע אַבְרָהָ֣ם עַבְדּ֑וֹ בְּנֵ֖י יַעֲקֹ֣ב בְּחִירָֽיו׃ | 6 |
O ye Seed of Abraham—his servants, Sons of Jacob—his chosen ones:
| ה֭וּא יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ בְּכָל־הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ מִשְׁפָּטָֽיו׃ | 7 |
Yahweh himself, is our God, Through all the land, are his just decision.
| זָכַ֣ר לְעוֹלָ֣ם בְּרִית֑וֹ דָּבָ֥ר צִ֝וָּ֗ה לְאֶ֣לֶף דּֽוֹר׃ | 8 |
He hath remembered, unto times age-abiding, his covenant, The word he commanded, to a thousand generations;
| אֲשֶׁ֣ר כָּ֭רַת אֶת־אַבְרָהָ֑ם וּשְׁב֖וּעָת֣וֹ לְיִשְׂחָֽק׃ | 9 |
Which he solemnised with Abraham, and his oath, to Isaac;
| וַיַּֽעֲמִידֶ֣הָ לְיַעֲקֹ֣ב לְחֹ֑ק לְ֝יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל בְּרִ֣ית עוֹלָֽם׃ | 10 |
And confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel, as a covenant age-abiding;
| לֵאמֹ֗ר לְךָ֗ אֶתֵּ֥ן אֶת־אֶֽרֶץ־כְּנָ֑עַן חֶ֝֗בֶל נַחֲלַתְכֶֽם׃ | 11 |
Saying, To thee, will I give the land of Canaan, As your inherited portion;
| בִּֽ֭הְיוֹתָם מְתֵ֣י מִסְפָּ֑ר כִּ֝מְעַ֗ט וְגָרִ֥ים בָּֽהּ׃ | 12 |
While as yet they were men easily counted, —A very few, and sojourners therein;
| וַֽ֭יִּתְהַלְּכוּ מִגּ֣וֹי אֶל־גּ֑וֹי מִ֝מַּמְלָכָ֗ה אֶל־עַ֥ם אַחֵֽר׃ | 13 |
And they wandered from nation to nation, From a kingdom, to another people.
| לֹֽא־הִנִּ֣יחַ אָדָ֣ם לְעָשְׁקָ֑ם וַיּ֖וֹכַח עֲלֵיהֶ֣ם מְלָכִֽים׃ | 14 |
He suffered no son of earth to oppress them, And reproved—for their sakes—[even] kings!
| אַֽל־תִּגְּע֥וּ בִמְשִׁיחָ֑י וְ֝לִנְבִיאַי אַל־תָּרֵֽעוּ׃ | 15 |
Ye may not touch mine Anointed ones, And, to my Prophets, may ye do no wrong.
| וַיִּקְרָ֣א רָ֭עָב עַל־הָאָ֑רֶץ כָּֽל־מַטֵּה־לֶ֥חֶם שָׁבָֽר׃ | 16 |
Then called he a famine over the land, All the staff of bread, he brake;
| שָׁלַ֣ח לִפְנֵיהֶ֣ם אִ֑ישׁ לְ֝עֶ֗בֶד נִמְכַּ֥ר יוֹסֵֽף׃ | 17 |
He sent before them a man, For a slave, was he sold—[even] Joseph;
| עִנּ֣וּ בַכֶּ֣בֶל רגליו בַּ֝רְזֶ֗ל בָּ֣אָה נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃ | 18 |
They forced, into a fetter, his foot, Into the iron, entered his soul;
| עַד־עֵ֥ת בֹּֽא־דְבָר֑וֹ אִמְרַ֖ת יְהוָ֣ה צְרָפָֽתְהוּ׃ | 19 |
Until the time when his word came to pass, Speech of Yahweh, proved him;
| שָׁ֣לַח מֶ֭לֶךְ וַיַּתִּירֵ֑הוּ מֹשֵׁ֥ל עַ֝מִּ֗ים וַֽיְפַתְּחֵֽהוּ׃ | 20 |
The king sent, and set him free, One having dominion over peoples, yet loosed he his bonds;
| שָׂמ֣וֹ אָד֣וֹן לְבֵית֑וֹ וּ֝מֹשֵׁ֗ל בְּכָל־קִנְיָנֽוֹ׃ | 21 |
He appointed him lord to his household, And one having dominion over all he possessed;
| לֶאְסֹ֣ר שָׂרָ֣יו בְּנַפְשׁ֑וֹ וּזְקֵנָ֥יו יְחַכֵּֽם׃ | 22 |
That he might bind his rulers as he pleased, And, his elders, he might embue with wisdom.
| וַיָּבֹ֣א יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל מִצְרָ֑יִם וְ֝יַעֲקֹ֗ב גָּ֣ר בְּאֶֽרֶץ־חָֽם׃ | 23 |
So Israel came into Egypt, And, Jacob, sojourned in the land of Ham;
| וַיֶּ֣פֶר אֶת־עַמּ֣וֹ מְאֹ֑ד וַ֝יַּֽעֲצִמֵהוּ מִצָּרָֽיו׃ | 24 |
And he made his people exceeding fruitful, —And caused them to become stronger than their adversaries.
| הָפַ֣ךְ לִ֭בָּם לִשְׂנֹ֣א עַמּ֑וֹ לְ֝הִתְנַכֵּ֗ל בַּעֲבָדָֽיו׃ | 25 |
He let them turn their heart—To hate his people, To deal treacherously with his servants;
| שָׁ֭לַח מֹשֶׁ֣ה עַבְדּ֑וֹ אַ֝הֲרֹ֗ן אֲשֶׁ֣ר בָּֽחַר־בּֽוֹ׃ | 26 |
He sent Moses his servant, Aaron, whom he had chosen.
| שָֽׂמוּ־בָ֭ם דִּבְרֵ֣י אֹתוֹתָ֑יו וּ֝מֹפְתִ֗ים בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חָֽם׃ | 27 |
He set among them his threatening signs, And his wonders, in the land of Ham;
| שָׁ֣לַֽח חֹ֭שֶׁךְ וַיַּחְשִׁ֑ךְ וְלֹֽא־מָ֝ר֗וּ אֶת־דברוו ׃ | 28 |
He sent darkness, and made it dark, But they rebelled against his words;
| הָפַ֣ךְ אֶת־מֵימֵיהֶ֣ם לְדָ֑ם וַ֝יָּ֗מֶת אֶת־דְּגָתָֽם׃ | 29 |
He turned their waters into blood, And so caused their fish to die;
| שָׁרַ֣ץ אַרְצָ֣ם צְפַרְדְּעִ֑ים בְּ֝חַדְרֵ֗י מַלְכֵיהֶֽם׃ | 30 |
Their land swarmed with frogs, In the chambers of their kings!
| אָ֭מַר וַיָּבֹ֣א עָרֹ֑ב כִּ֝נִּ֗ים בְּכָל־גְּבוּלָֽם׃ | 31 |
He spake, and there came in the gad-fly, Gnats, in all their bounds;
| נָתַ֣ן גִּשְׁמֵיהֶ֣ם בָּרָ֑ד אֵ֖שׁ לֶהָב֣וֹת בְּאַרְצָֽם׃ | 32 |
He made their showers—hail, A fire flaming throughout their land;
| וַיַּ֣ךְ גַּ֭פְנָם וּתְאֵנָתָ֑ם וַ֝יְשַׁבֵּ֗ר עֵ֣ץ גְּבוּלָֽם׃ | 33 |
And he smote their vines, and their fig-trees, And brake in pieces the trees of their bounds;
| אָ֭מַר וַיָּבֹ֣א אַרְבֶּ֑ה וְ֝יֶ֗לֶק וְאֵ֣ין מִסְפָּֽר׃ | 34 |
He spake—then came the swarming locust, —The devouring locust, and that without number;
| וַיֹּ֣אכַל כָּל־עֵ֣שֶׂב בְּאַרְצָ֑ם וַ֝יֹּ֗אכַל פְּרִ֣י אַדְמָתָֽם׃ | 35 |
And devoured all the herbage in their land, And devoured the fruit of their ground.
| וַיַּ֣ךְ כָּל־בְּכ֣וֹר בְּאַרְצָ֑ם רֵ֝אשִׁ֗ית לְכָל־אוֹנָֽם׃ | 36 |
Then smote he every firstborn in their land, The beginning of all their strength;
| וַֽ֭יּוֹצִיאֵם בְּכֶ֣סֶף וְזָהָ֑ב וְאֵ֖ין בִּשְׁבָטָ֣יו כּוֹשֵֽׁל׃ | 37 |
Thus brought he them forth, with silver and gold, Nor was there, throughout his tribes, one that faltered;
| שָׂמַ֣ח מִצְרַ֣יִם בְּצֵאתָ֑ם כִּֽי־נָפַ֖ל פַּחְדָּ֣ם עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃ | 38 |
Egypt rejoiced when they went out, For the dread of them had fallen upon them.
| פָּרַ֣שׂ עָנָ֣ן לְמָסָ֑ךְ וְ֝אֵ֗שׁ לְהָאִ֥יר לָֽיְלָה׃ | 39 |
He spread out a cloud as a covering, And fire, to give light by night,
| שָׁאַ֣ל וַיָּבֵ֣א שְׂלָ֑ו וְלֶ֥חֶם שָׁ֝מַ֗יִם יַשְׂבִּיעֵֽם׃ | 40 |
They asked, and he brought in the quail, —And, with the bread of the heavens, he satisfied them;
| פָּ֣תַח צ֭וּר וַיָּז֣וּבוּ מָ֑יִם הָ֝לְכ֗וּ בַּצִּיּ֥וֹת נָהָֽר׃ | 41 |
He opened the rock, and there gushed forth waters, They flowed along, through parched places, as a river;
| כִּֽי־זָ֭כַר אֶת־דְּבַ֣ר קָדְשׁ֑וֹ אֶֽת־אַבְרָהָ֥ם עַבְדּֽוֹ׃ | 42 |
For he remembered his holy word, With Abraham his servant.
| וַיּוֹצִ֣א עַמּ֣וֹ בְשָׂשׂ֑וֹן בְּ֝רִנָּ֗ה אֶת־בְּחִירָֽיו׃ | 43 |
Thus brought he forth his people with gladness, —With shouts of triumph, his chosen ones;
| וַיִּתֵּ֣ן לָ֭הֶם אַרְצ֣וֹת גּוֹיִ֑ם וַעֲמַ֖ל לְאֻמִּ֣ים יִירָֽשׁוּ׃ | 44 |
And gave them, the lands of the nations, And, of the toil of the peoples, took they possession:
| בַּעֲב֤וּר ׀ יִשְׁמְר֣וּ חֻ֭קָּיו וְתוֹרֹתָ֥יו יִנְצֹ֗רוּ הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ | 45 |
In order that they might observe his statutes, And, over his laws, might keep watch, Praise ye Yah.
