Psalms 105
- 1 Give ye thanks to Jehovah — call ye in His name, Make known among the peoples His acts.
- 2 Sing ye to Him — sing praise to Him, Meditate ye on all His wonders.
- 3 Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking Jehovah rejoiceth.
- 4 Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek ye His face continually.
- 5 Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth.
- 6 O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
- 7 He [is] Jehovah our God, In all the earth [are] His judgments.
- 8 He hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He commanded to a thousand generations,
- 9 That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,
- 10 And doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel — a covenant age-during,
- 11 Saying, 'To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,'
- 12 In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it.
- 13 And they go up and down, from nation unto nation, From a kingdom unto another people.
- 14 He hath not suffered any to oppress them And He reproveth for their sakes kings.
- 15 'Strike not against Mine anointed, And to My prophets do not evil.'
- 16 And He calleth a famine on the land, The whole staff of bread He hath broken.
- 17 He hath sent before them a man, For a servant hath Joseph been sold.
- 18 They have afflicted with fetters his feet, Iron hath entered his soul,
- 19 Till the time of the coming of His word The saying of Jehovah hath tried him.
- 20 The king hath sent, and looseth him, The ruler of the peoples, and draweth him out.
- 21 He hath made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions.
- 22 To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And his elders he maketh wise.
- 23 And Israel cometh in to Egypt, And Jacob hath sojourned in the land of Ham.
- 24 And He maketh His people very fruitful, And maketh it mightier than its adversaries.
- 25 He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire against His servants.
- 26 He hath sent Moses His servant, Aaron whom He had fixed on.
- 27 They have set among them the matters of His signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.
- 28 He hath sent darkness, and it is dark, And they have not provoked His word.
- 29 He hath turned their waters to blood, And putteth to death their fish.
- 30 Teemed hath their land [with] frogs, In the inner chambers of their kings.
- 31 He hath said, and the beetle cometh, Lice into all their border.
- 32 He hath made their showers hail, A flaming fire [is] in their land.
- 33 And He smiteth their vine and their fig, And shivereth the trees of their border.
- 34 He hath said, and the locust cometh, And the cankerworm — innumerable,
- 35 And it consumeth every herb in their land, And it consumeth the fruit of their ground.
- 36 And He smiteth every first-born in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,
- 37 And bringeth them out with silver and gold, And there is not in its tribes a feeble one.
- 38 Rejoiced hath Egypt in their going forth, For their fear had fallen upon them.
- 39 He hath spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to enlighten the night.
- 40 They have asked, and He bringeth quails, And [with] bread of heaven satisfieth them.
- 41 He hath opened a rock, and waters issue, They have gone on in dry places — a river.
- 42 For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant,
- 43 And He bringeth forth His people with joy, With singing His chosen ones.
- 44 And He giveth to them the lands of nations, And the labour of peoples they possess,
- 45 That they may observe His statutes, And His laws may keep. Praise ye Jehovah!
