Psalms 105
1 Give thanks to Yahweh, call on his name; make known his deeds among the nations.
O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
2 Sing to him, sing praises to him; speak of all his marvelous deeds.
Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
3 Boast in his holy name; let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
4 Seek Yahweh and his strength; seek his presence continually.
Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
5 Recall the marvelous things he has done, his miracles and the decrees from his mouth,
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6 you descendants of Abraham his servant, you people of Jacob, his chosen ones.
O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
7 He is Yahweh, our God. His decrees are on all the earth.
He [is] the LORD our God: his judgments [are] in all the earth.
8 He keeps in mind his covenant forever, the word that he commanded for a thousand generations.
He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word [which] he commanded to a thousand generations.
9 He calls to mind the covenant that he made with Abraham and his oath to Isaac.
Which [covenant] he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
10 This is what he confirmed to Jacob as a statute and to Israel as an everlasting covenant.
And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, [and] to Israel [for] an everlasting covenant:
11 He said, “I will give you the land of Canaan as your share of your inheritance.”
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
12 He said this when they were only few in number, so very few, and were strangers in the land.
When they were [but] a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
13 They went from nation to nation and from one kingdom to another.
When they went from one nation to another, from [one] kingdom to another people;
14 He did not allow anyone to oppress them; he rebuked kings for their sakes.
He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
15 He said, “Do not touch my anointed ones, and do not harm my prophets.”
[Saying], Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
16 He called for a famine on the land; he cut off the whole supply of bread.
Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
17 He sent a man ahead of them; Joseph was sold as a servant.
He sent a man before them, [even] Joseph, [who] was sold for a servant:
18 His feet were bound by shackles; on his neck was put an iron collar,
Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
19 until what he had said came to pass. The word of Yahweh tested him.
Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
20 The king sent servants to release him; the ruler of the people set him free.
The king sent and loosed him; [even] the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
21 He put him in charge of his house as ruler of all his possessions
He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
22 to instruct his princes as he wished and to teach his elders wisdom.
To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
23 Then Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob lived for a time in the land of Ham.
Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 Yahweh made his people fruitful, and made them stronger than their enemies.
And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.
25 He caused their enemies to hate his people, to mistreat his servants.
He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
26 He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
He sent Moses his servant; [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.
27 They performed his signs among the Egyptians, his wonders in the land of Ham.
They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness and made that land dark, but its people did not obey his commands.
He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
29 He turned their water into blood and killed their fish.
He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their rulers.
Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.
31 He spoke, and swarms of flies and gnats came throughout their country.
He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, [and] lice in all their coasts.
32 He turned their rain into hail, with fire flaming on their land.
He gave them hail for rain, [and] flaming fire in their land.
33 He destroyed their vines and fig trees; he broke the trees of their country.
He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.
34 He spoke, and the locusts came, so many locusts.
He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,
35 The locusts ate up all of the vegetation in their land; They ate up all the crops of the ground.
And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
36 He killed every firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their strength.
He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
37 He brought the Israelites out with silver and gold; none of his tribes stumbled on the way.
He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and [there was] not one feeble [person] among their tribes.
38 Egypt was glad when they went away, for the Egyptians were afraid of them.
Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering and made a fire to light up the night.
He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
40 The Israelites asked for food, and he brought quail and satisfied them with bread from heaven.
[The people] asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 He split the rock, and waters gushed from it; they flowed in the wilderness like a river.
He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places [like] a river.
42 For he called to mind his holy promise that he made to Abraham his servant.
For he remembered his holy promise, [and] Abraham his servant.
43 He led his people out with joy, his chosen with shouts of triumph.
And he brought forth his people with joy, [and] his chosen with gladness:
44 He gave them the lands of the nations; they took possession of the wealth of the peoples
And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;
45 so that they might keep his statutes and obey his laws. Praise Yahweh.
That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.
