Tehillim (Psa) 105
105
1Give thanks to Adonai! Call on his name!
Make his deeds known among the peoples.
2Sing to him, sing praises to him,
talk about all his wonders.
3Glory in his holy name;
let those seeking Adonai have joyful hearts.
4Seek Adonai and his strength;
always seek his presence.
5Remember the wonders he has done,
his signs and his spoken rulings.
6You descendants of Avraham his servant,
you offspring of Ya‘akov, his chosen ones,
7he is Adonai our God!
His rulings are everywhere on earth.
8He remembers his covenant forever,
the word he commanded to a thousand generations,
9the covenant he made with Avraham,
the oath he swore to Yitz’chak,
10and established as a law for Ya‘akov,
for Isra’el as an everlasting covenant:
11“To you I will give the land of Kena‘an
as your allotted heritage.”
12When they were but few in number,
and not only few, but aliens there too,
13wandering from nation to nation,
from this kingdom to that people,
14he allowed no one to oppress them.
Yes, for their sakes he rebuked even kings:
15“Don’t touch my anointed ones
or do my prophets harm!”
16He called down famine on the land,
broke off all their food supply,
17but sent a man ahead of them —
Yosef, who was sold as a slave.
18They shackled his feet with chains,
and they bound him in irons;
19until the time when his word proved true,
God’s utterance kept testing him.
20The king sent and had him released,
the ruler of peoples set him free;
21he made him lord of his household,
in charge of all he owned,
22correcting his officers as he saw fit
and teaching his counselors wisdom.
23Then Isra’el too came into Egypt,
Ya‘akov lived as an alien in the land of Ham.
24There God made his people very fruitful,
made them too numerous for their foes,
25whose hearts he turned to hate his people,
and treat his servants unfairly.
26He sent his servant Moshe
and Aharon, whom he had chosen.
27They worked his signs among them,
his wonders in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness, and the land grew dark;
they did not defy his word.
29He turned their water into blood
and caused their fish to die.
30Their land swarmed with frogs,
even in the royal chambers.
31He spoke, and there came swarms of insects
and lice throughout their land.
32He gave them hail instead of rain,
with fiery [lightning] throughout their land.
33He struck their vines and fig trees,
shattering trees all over their country.
34He spoke, and locusts came,
also grasshoppers without number;
35they ate up everything green in their land,
devoured the fruit of their ground.
36He struck down all the firstborn in their land,
the firstfruits of all their strength.
37Then he led his people out,
laden with silver and gold;
among his tribes not one stumbled.
38Egypt was happy to have them leave,
because fear of [Isra’el] had seized them.
39He spread out a cloud to screen them off
and fire to give them light at night.
40When they asked, he brought them quails
and satisfied them with food from heaven.
41He split a rock, and water gushed out,
flowing as a river over the dry ground,
42for he remembered his holy promise
to his servant Avraham.
43He led out his people with joy,
his chosen ones with singing.
44Then he gave them the lands of the nations,
and they possessed what peoples had toiled to produce,
45in order to obey his laws
and follow his teachings.
Halleluyah!

1Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness.
Let the whole world know what he has done.
2Sing to him; yes, sing his praises.
Tell everyone about his wonderful deeds.
3Exult in his holy name;
rejoice, you who worship the Lord.
4Search for the Lord and for his strength;
continually seek him.
5Remember the wonders he has performed,
his miracles, and the rulings he has given,
6you children of his servant Abraham,
you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7He is the Lord our God.
His justice is seen throughout the land.
8He always stands by his covenant—
the commitment he made to a thousand generations.
9This is the covenant he made with Abraham
and the oath he swore to Isaac.
10He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree,
and to the people of Israel as a never-ending covenant:
11“I will give you the land of Canaan
as your special possession.”
12He said this when they were few in number,
a tiny group of strangers in Canaan.
13They wandered from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another.
14Yet he did not let anyone oppress them.
He warned kings on their behalf:
15“Do not touch my chosen people,
and do not hurt my prophets.”
16He called for a famine on the land of Canaan,
cutting off its food supply.
17Then he sent someone to Egypt ahead of them—
Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18They bruised his feet with fetters
and placed his neck in an iron collar.
19Until the time came to fulfill his dreams,#105:19 Hebrew his word.
the Lord tested Joseph’s character.
20Then Pharaoh sent for him and set him free;
the ruler of the nation opened his prison door.
21Joseph was put in charge of all the king’s household;
he became ruler over all the king’s possessions.
22He could instruct#105:22 As in Greek and Syriac versions; Hebrew reads bind or imprison. the king’s aides as he pleased
and teach the king’s advisers.
23Then Israel arrived in Egypt;
Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham.
24And the Lord multiplied the people of Israel
until they became too mighty for their enemies.
25Then he turned the Egyptians against the Israelites,
and they plotted against the Lord’s servants.
26But the Lord sent his servant Moses,
along with Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27They performed miraculous signs among the Egyptians,
and wonders in the land of Ham.
28The Lord blanketed Egypt in darkness,
for they had defied#105:28 As in Greek and Syriac versions; Hebrew reads had not defied. his commands to let his people go.
29He turned their water into blood,
poisoning all the fish.
30Then frogs overran the land
and even invaded the king’s bedrooms.
31When the Lord spoke, flies descended on the Egyptians,
and gnats swarmed across Egypt.
32He sent them hail instead of rain,
and lightning flashed over the land.
33He ruined their grapevines and fig trees
and shattered all the trees.
34He spoke, and hordes of locusts came—
young locusts beyond number.
35They ate up everything green in the land,
destroying all the crops in their fields.
36Then he killed the oldest son in each Egyptian home,
the pride and joy of each family.
37The Lord brought his people out of Egypt, loaded with silver and gold;
and not one among the tribes of Israel even stumbled.
38Egypt was glad when they were gone,
for they feared them greatly.
39The Lord spread a cloud above them as a covering
and gave them a great fire to light the darkness.
40They asked for meat, and he sent them quail;
he satisfied their hunger with manna—bread from heaven.
41He split open a rock, and water gushed out
to form a river through the dry wasteland.
42For he remembered his sacred promise
to his servant Abraham.
43So he brought his people out of Egypt with joy,
his chosen ones with rejoicing.
44He gave his people the lands of pagan nations,
and they harvested crops that others had planted.
45All this happened so they would follow his decrees
and obey his instructions.
Praise the Lord!
