Psalms 105
105
God’s Love for Israel
1Give thanks to the Lord and pray to him.
Tell the nations what he has done.
2Sing to him. Sing praises to him.
Tell about all the wonderful things he has done.
3Be glad that you are his.
Let those who ask the Lord for help be happy.
4Depend on the Lord and his strength.
Always go to him for help.
5Remember the wonderful things he has done.
Remember his miracles and his decisions.
6You are descendants of his servant Abraham,
the children of Jacob, his chosen people.
7He is the Lord our God.
His laws are for all the world.
8He will keep his agreement forever.
He will keep his promises always.
9He will keep his agreement he made with Abraham.
He will keep the promise he made to Isaac.
10He made it a law for the people of Jacob.
He made it an agreement with Israel to last forever.
11The Lord said, “I will give you the land of Canaan.
The promised land will belong to you.”
12Then God’s people were few in number.
They were strangers in the land.
13They went from one nation to another.
They went from one kingdom to another.
14But the Lord did not let anyone hurt them.
He warned kings not to harm them.
15He said, “Don’t hurt my chosen people.
Don’t harm my prophets.”
16God ordered a time of hunger in the land.
And he destroyed all the food.
17Then he sent a man ahead of them.
It was Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18They put chains around his feet
and an iron ring around his neck.
19Then the time he had spoken of came.
The Lord’s words proved that Joseph was right.
20The king of Egypt sent for Joseph and freed him.
The ruler of the people set him free.
21He made him the master of his house.
Joseph was in charge of his riches.
22He could order the princes as he wished.
He taught the older men to be wise.
23Then his father Israel came to Egypt.
Jacob, also called Israel, lived in Egypt.# Literally, “the land of Ham.” Also in verse 27. The people in Egypt were descendants of Ham, one of Noah’s sons. See Genesis 10:6.
24The Lord made his people grow in number.
He made them stronger than their enemies.
25And he caused the Egyptians to hate his people.
They made plans against the Lord’s servants.
26Then he sent his servant Moses,
and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27They did many signs among the Egyptians.
They worked miracles in Egypt.
28The Lord sent darkness and made the land dark.
But the Egyptians turned against what he said.
29So he changed their water into blood
and made their fish die.
30Then their country was filled with frogs.
They were even in the bedrooms of their rulers.
31The Lord spoke, and flies came.
Gnats were everywhere in the country.
32He made hail fall like rain.
And he sent lightning through their land.
33He struck down their grapevines and fig trees.
He destroyed every tree in the country.
34He spoke, and grasshoppers came.
The locusts were too many to count.
35They ate all the plants in the land.
They ate what the earth produced.
36The Lord also killed all the firstborn sons in the land,
the oldest son of each family.
37Then he brought his people out,
and they carried with them silver and gold.
Not one of his people stumbled.
38The Egyptians were glad when they left
because the Egyptians were afraid of them.
39The Lord covered them with a cloud
and lit up the night with fire.
40When they asked, he brought them quail.
He filled them with bread from heaven.
41God split the rock, and water flowed out.
It ran like a river through the desert.
42He remembered his holy promise
to his servant Abraham.
43So God brought his people out with joy.
He brought out his chosen ones with singing.
44He gave them lands that belonged to other nations.
They received what others had worked for.
45This was so they would keep his orders
and obey his teachings.
Praise the Lord!

Tehillim (Psalms) 105
105
1Give thanks to יהוה! Call upon His Name, Make known His deeds among the peoples.
2Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; Speak of all His wonders.
3Make your boast in His set-apart Name; Let the hearts rejoice of those seeking יהוה.
4Seek יהוה and His strength; Seek His face always.
5Remember His wonders which He has done, His miracles, and the right-rulings of His mouth,
6O seed of Aḇraham His servant, Children of Ya‛aqoḇ, His chosen ones!
7He is יהוה our Elohim; His right-rulings are in all the earth.
8He has remembered His covenant forever, The Word He commanded, for a thousand generations,
9The covenant He made with Aḇraham, And His oath to Yitsḥaq,
10And established it to Ya‛aqoḇ for a law, To Yisra’ĕl – an everlasting covenant,
11Saying, “To you I give the land of Kena‛an, The portion of your inheritance.”
12When they were few in number, Few indeed, and sojourners in it,
13And they went about from one nation to another, From one reign to another people,
14He allowed no one to oppress them, And He reproved sovereigns for their sakes,
15Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no evil.”
16And He called for a scarcity of food in the land; He cut off all the supply of bread.
17He sent ahead of them a man, Yosĕph, sold as a slave.
18They afflicted his feet with shackles, His neck was put in irons.
19Until the time that His Word came, The Word of יהוה tried him.
20The sovereign sent and released him, The ruler of the people let him loose.
21He made him master of his house, And ruler over all his possessions,
22To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And to teach his elders wisdom.
23Then Yisra’ĕl came to Mitsrayim, And Ya‛aqoḇ sojourned in the land of Ḥam.
24And He increased His people greatly, And made them stronger than their enemies.
25He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire against His servants.
26He sent Mosheh His servant, Aharon whom He had chosen.
27They set among them the matters of His signs, And wonders in the land of Ḥam.
28He sent darkness, and made it dark; And they did not rebel against His word.
29He turned their waters into blood, And killed their fish.
30Their land teemed with frogs, In the rooms of their sovereigns.
31He spoke, and swarms of flies came, Gnats in all their borders.
32He gave them hail for rain, A flaming fire in their land.
33And He struck their vines and their fig trees, And broke the trees of their borders.
34He spoke, and locusts came, And larvae, innumerable,
35And they devoured all the plants in their land, And they devoured the fruit of their ground.
36Then He struck all the first-born in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,
37And brought them out with silver and gold, And among His tribes no one faltered.
38Mitsrayim was glad when they left, For the fear of them had fallen upon them.
39He spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to give light in the night.
40They asked, and He brought quail, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41He opened the rock, and water gushed out; It ran in the dry places, a river.
42For He remembered His set-apart word, To Aḇraham His servant.
43So He brought out His people with joy, His chosen ones with singing.
44And He gave to them the lands of the nations, And they inherited the labour of peoples,
45In order that they might guard His laws, And watch over His Torot.#Torot - plural of Torah - teaching. Praise Yah!
