Psalms 105
1 Give ye thanks to Yahweh, Call upon his Name, Make known, among the peoples, his doings;
Alleluia. Give thanks to the Lord, and call upon his name; declare his works among the heathen.
2 Sing ye to him, Make ye music to him, Speak ye of all his wonders.
Sing to him, yea, sing praises to him: tell forth all his wonderful works.
3 Make your boast in his holy Name, Joyful be the heart of them who are seeking Yahweh.
Glory in his holy name: let the heart of them that seek the Lord rejoice.
4 Search out Yahweh and his strength, Seek diligently his face at all times.
Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened; seek his face continually.
5 Remember his wonders which he hath done, His portents, and the just decisions of his mouth.
Remember his wonderful works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6 O ye Seed of Abraham—his servants, Sons of Jacob—his chosen ones:
[ye] seed of Abraam, his servants, [ye] children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7 Yahweh himself, is our God, Through all the land, are his just decision.
He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
8 He hath remembered, unto times age-abiding, his covenant, The word he commanded, to a thousand generations;
He has remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded for a thousand generation:
9 Which he solemnised with Abraham, and his oath, to Isaac;
which he established as a covenant to Abraam, and [he remembered] his oath to Isaac.
10 And confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel, as a covenant age-abiding;
And he established it to Jacob for an ordinance, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant;
11 Saying, To thee, will I give the land of Canaan, As your inherited portion;
saying To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the line of your inheritance:
12 While as yet they were men easily counted, —A very few, and sojourners therein;
when they were few in number, very few, and sojourners in it.
13 And they wandered from nation to nation, From a kingdom, to another people.
And they went from nation to nation, and from [one] kingdom to another people.
14 He suffered no son of earth to oppress them, And reproved—for their sakes—[even] kings!
He suffered no man to wrong them; and he rebuked kings for their sakes:
15 Ye may not touch mine Anointed ones, And, to my Prophets, may ye do no wrong.
[saying], Touch not my anointed ones; and do my prophets no harm.
16 Then called he a famine over the land, All the staff of bread, he brake;
Moreover he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole support of bread.
17 He sent before them a man, For a slave, was he sold—[even] Joseph;
He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a slave.
18 They forced, into a fetter, his foot, Into the iron, entered his soul;
They hurt his feet with fetters; his soul passed into iron,
19 Until the time when his word came to pass, Speech of Yahweh, proved him;
until the time that his cause came on; the word of the Lord tried him as fire.
20 The king sent, and set him free, One having dominion over peoples, yet loosed he his bonds;
The king sent and loosed him; [even] the prince of the people, and let him go free.
21 He appointed him lord to his household, And one having dominion over all he possessed;
He made him Lord over his house, and ruler of all his substance;
22 That he might bind his rulers as he pleased, And, his elders, he might embue with wisdom.
to chastise his rulers at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.
23 So Israel came into Egypt, And, Jacob, sojourned in the land of Ham;
Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Cham.
24 And he made his people exceeding fruitful, —And caused them to become stronger than their adversaries.
And he increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their enemies.
25 He let them turn their heart—To hate his people, To deal treacherously with his servants;
And he turned their heart to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants.
26 He sent Moses his servant, Aaron, whom he had chosen.
He sent fort Moses his servant, [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.
27 He set among them his threatening signs, And his wonders, in the land of Ham;
He established among them his signs, and [his] wonders in the land of Cham.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark, But they rebelled against his words;
He sent forth darkness, and made it dark; yet they rebelled against his words.
29 He turned their waters into blood, And so caused their fish to die;
He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs, In the chambers of their kings!
Their land produced frogs abundantly, in the chambers of their kings.
31 He spake, and there came in the gad-fly, Gnats, in all their bounds;
He spoke, and the dog-fly came, and lice in all their coasts.
32 He made their showers—hail, A fire flaming throughout their land;
He turned their rain into hail, [and sent] flaming fire in their land.
33 And he smote their vines, and their fig-trees, And brake in pieces the trees of their bounds;
And he smote their vines and their fig trees; and broke every tree of their coast.
34 He spake—then came the swarming locust, —The devouring locust, and that without number;
He spoke, and the locust came, and caterpillars innumerable,
35 And devoured all the herbage in their land, And devoured the fruit of their ground.
and devoured all the grass in their land, and devoured the fruit of the ground.
36 Then smote he every firstborn in their land, The beginning of all their strength;
He smote also every first-born of their land, the first-fruits of all their labour.
37 Thus brought he them forth, with silver and gold, Nor was there, throughout his tribes, one that faltered;
And he brought them out with silver and gold; and there was not a feeble one among their tribes.
38 Egypt rejoiced when they went out, For the dread of them had fallen upon them.
Egypt rejoiced at their departing; for the fear of them fell upon them.
39 He spread out a cloud as a covering, And fire, to give light by night,
He spread out a cloud for a covering to them, and fire to give them light by night.
40 They asked, and he brought in the quail, —And, with the bread of the heavens, he satisfied them;
They asked, and the quail came, and he satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 He opened the rock, and there gushed forth waters, They flowed along, through parched places, as a river;
He clave the rock, and the waters flowed, rivers ran in dry places.
42 For he remembered his holy word, With Abraham his servant.
For he remembered his holy word, which [he promised] to Abraam his servant.
43 Thus brought he forth his people with gladness, —With shouts of triumph, his chosen ones;
And he brought out his people with exultation, and his chosen with joy;
44 And gave them, the lands of the nations, And, of the toil of the peoples, took they possession:
and gave them the lands of the heathen; and they inherited the labours of the people;
45 In order that they might observe his statutes, And, over his laws, might keep watch, Praise ye Yah.
that they might keep his ordinances, and diligently seek his law.
