Psalms 105
1 Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name: make known his deeds among the nations.
| הודו ליהוה קראו בשמו הודיעו בעמים עלילותיו |
2 Sing to him, make music to him, tell of all his wondrous works.
| שירו-לו זמרו-לו שיחו בכל-נפלאותיו |
3 Make your boast in his holy name, be glad at heart, you who seek the Lord.
| התהללו בשם קדשו ישמח לב מבקשי יהוה |
4 Seek after the Lord and his strength, seek his face evermore.
| דרשו יהוה ועזו בקשו פניו תמיד |
5 Remember the wonders he did, his portents, the judgments he uttered,
| זכרו--נפלאותיו אשר-עשה מפתיו ומשפטי-פיו |
6 you who are offspring of Abraham, his servant, the children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
| זרע אברהם עבדו בני יעקב בחיריו |
7 He is the Lord our God: in all the earth are his judgments.
| הוא יהוה אלהינו בכל-הארץ משפטיו |
8 He remembers forever his covenant, his promise for a thousand generations
| זכר לעולם בריתו דבר צוה לאלף דור |
9 The covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac,
| אשר כרת את-אברהם ושבועתו לישחק |
10 and confirmed as a statute to Jacob, a pact everlasting to Israel
| ויעמידה ליעקב לחק לישראל ברית עולם |
11 to give them the land of Canaan as the lot which they should inherit.
| לאמר--לך אתן את-ארץ-כנען חבל נחלתכם |
12 And when they were very few, few and but pilgrims therein,
| בהיותם מתי מספר כמעט וגרים בה |
13 wandering from nation to nation, journeying from people to people,
| ויתהלכו מגוי אל-גוי מממלכה אל-עם אחר |
14 he allowed no one to oppress them, even punishing kings for their sakes.
| לא-הניח אדם לעשקם ויוכח עליהם מלכים |
15 He forbade them to touch his anointed, or do any hurt to his prophets.
| אל-תגעו במשיחי ולנביאי אל-תרעו |
16 When he called down famine on the land, and cut off the bread which sustained them,
| ויקרא רעב על-הארץ כל-מטה-לחם שבר |
17 he sent before them a man, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
| שלח לפניהם איש לעבד נמכר יוסף |
18 His feet were galled with fetters, he was laid in chains of iron,
| ענו בכבל רגליו (רגלו) ברזל באה נפשו |
19 till the time that his word came to pass, the word of the Lord that had tried him.
| עד-עת בא-דברו-- אמרת יהוה צרפתהו |
20 The king sent and freed him, the ruler of nations released him.
| שלח מלך ויתירהו משל עמים ויפתחהו |
21 He made him lord of his household, and ruler of all his possessions,
| שמו אדון לביתו ומשל בכל-קנינו |
22 to admonish his princes at will and instruct his elders in wisdom.
| לאסר שריו בנפשו וזקניו יחכם |
23 Thus Israel came into Egypt, Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
| ויבא ישראל מצרים ויעקב גר בארץ-חם |
24 His people he made very fruitful, and mightier than their foes.
| ויפר את-עמו מאד ויעצמהו מצריו |
25 He inspired them to hate his people, and to deal with his servants craftily.
| הפך לבם לשנא עמו להתנכל בעבדיו |
26 He sent his servant Moses, and Aaron whom he had chosen,
| שלח משה עבדו אהרן אשר בחר-בו |
27 portents he wrought in Egypt, and signs in the land of Ham.
| שמו-בם דברי אתותיו ומפתים בארץ חם |
28 Darkness he sent, and it fell: yet they gave no heed to his word.
| שלח חשך ויחשך ולא-מרו את-דבריו (דברו) |
29 He turned their waters into blood, thus causing their fish to die.
| הפך את-מימיהם לדם וימת את-דגתם |
30 Their land was alive with frogs, swarming even in the royal chambers.
| שרץ ארצם צפרדעים בחדרי מלכיהם |
31 At his command came flies, and lice in all their borders.
| אמר ויבא ערב כנים בכל-גבולם |
32 He gave them hail for rain and fire that flashed through the land,
| נתן גשמיהם ברד אש להבות בארצם |
33 smiting their vines and figs, breaking the trees of their border.
| ויך גפנם ותאנתם וישבר עץ גבולם |
34 At his command came locusts, young locusts beyond all counting,
| אמר ויבא ארבה וילק ואין מספר |
35 which ate every herb in the land, ate up, too, the fruit of their ground.
| ויאכל כל-עשב בארצם ויאכל פרי אדמתם |
36 He struck down in their land all the firstborn, the firstlings of all their strength
| ויך כל-בכור בארצם ראשית לכל-אונם |
37 Then forth he led Israel with silver and gold, and among his tribes no one was weary.
| ויוציאם בכסף וזהב ואין בשבטיו כושל |
38 Egypt was glad when they left, for terror had fallen upon them.
| שמח מצרים בצאתם כי-נפל פחדם עליהם |
39 He spread out a cloud to screen them, and fire to give light in the night.
| פרש ענן למסך ואש להאיר לילה |
40 He sent quails at their entreaty, and heavenly bread in abundance.
| שאל ויבא שלו ולחם שמים ישביעם |
41 He opened the rock; waters gushed: in the desert they ran like a river.
| פתח צור ויזובו מים הלכו בציות נהר |
42 For he remembered his holy promise to Abraham his servant.
| כי-זכר את-דבר קדשו את-אברהם עבדו |
43 So he led out his people with joy, his elect with a ringing cry.
| ויוצא עמו בששון ברנה את-בחיריו |
44 And he gave them the lands of the nations, the fruit of their toil for possession,
| ויתן להם ארצות גוים ועמל לאמים יירשו |
45 that so they might keep his statutes, and be of his laws observant. Hallelujah.
| בעבור ישמרו חקיו-- ותורתיו ינצרו הללו-יה |
