Psalm 105
105
1 Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is with every generation.
2 Who will declare the powers of the Lord? Who make a hearing for all his praises?
3 Blessed are those who keep judgment and who do justice at all times.
4 Remember us, O Lord, with good will for your people. Visit us with your salvation,
5 so that we may see the goodness of your elect, so that we may rejoice in the joy of your nation, so that you may be praised along with your inheritance.
6 We have sinned, as have our fathers. We have acted unjustly; we have wrought iniquity.
7 Our fathers did not understand your miracles in Egypt. They did not remember the multitude of your mercies. And they provoked you, while going up to the sea, even the Red Sea.
8 And he saved them for the sake of his name, so that he might make known his power.
9 And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up. And he led them into the abyss, as if into a desert.
10 And he saved them from the hand of those who hated them. And he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11 And the water covered those who troubled them. Not one of them remained.
12 And they believed his words, and they sang his praises.
13 As soon as they had finished, they forgot his works, and they would not endure his counsel.
14 And they coveted their desire in the desert, and they tempted God in a waterless place.
15 And he granted to them their request, and he sent abundance into their souls.
16 And they provoked Moses in the camp, and Aaron, the holy one of the Lord.
17 The earth opened and swallowed Dathan, and it covered the congregation of Abiram.
18 And a fire broke out in their congregation. A flame burned up the sinners.
19 And they fashioned a calf at Horeb, and they adored a graven image.
20 And they exchanged their glory for the likeness of a calf that eats hay.
21 They forgot God, who saved them, who did great things in Egypt:
22 miracles in the land of Ham, terrible things at the Red Sea.
23 And he said that he would destroy them, yet Moses, his elect, stood firm before him in the breach, in order to avert his wrath, lest he destroy them.
24 And they held the desirable land to be nothing. They did not trust in his word.
25 And they murmured in their tabernacles. They did not heed the voice of the Lord.
26 And he lifted up his hand over them, in order to prostrate them in the desert,
27 and in order to cast their offspring among the nations, and to scatter them among the regions.
28 And they were initiated into Baal of Peor, and they ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29 And they provoked him with their inventions, and ruination was multiplied in them.
30 Then Phinehas stood up and placated him: and so the violent disturbance ceased.
31 And it was reputed to him unto justice, from generation to generation, even forever.
32 And they provoked him at the Waters of Contradiction, and Moses was afflicted because of them,
33 for they exasperated his spirit. And so he divided them with his lips.
34 They did not destroy the nations, about which the Lord had spoken to them.
35 And they were mixed among the Gentiles. And they learned their works,
36 and they served their graven images, and it became a scandal to them.
37 And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
38 And they shed innocent blood: the blood of their sons and of their daughters, which they sacrificed to the graven images of Canaan. And the land was infected with bloodshed,
39 and was contaminated with their works. And they fornicated according to their own inventions.
40 And the Lord became furiously angry with his people, and he abhorred his inheritance.
41 And he delivered them into the hands of the nations. And those who hated them became rulers over them.
42 And their enemies afflicted them, and they were humbled under their hands.
43 Many times, he delivered them. Yet they provoked him with their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquities.
44 And he saw that they were in tribulation, and he heard their prayer.
45 And he was mindful of his covenant, and he repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
46 And he provided for them with mercies, in the sight of all those who had seized them.
47 Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from the nations, so that we may confess your holy name and glory in your praise.
48 Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, from ages past, even to all ages. And let all the people say: Amen. Amen.

Psalm 105
105
1 O GIVE thanks unto the Lord, call upon His name, make known His doings among the peoples!
2 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; meditate on and talk of all His marvelous deeds and devoutly praise them.
3 Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those rejoice who seek and require the Lord [as their indispensable necessity].
4 Seek, inquire of and for the Lord, and crave Him and His strength (His might and inflexibility to temptation); seek and require His face and His presence [continually] evermore.
5 [Earnestly] remember the marvelous deeds that He has done, His miracles and wonders, the judgments and sentences which He pronounced [upon His enemies, as in Egypt]. [Ps. 78:43-51.]
6 O you offspring of Abraham His servant, you children of Jacob, His chosen ones,
7 He is the Lord our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
8 He is [earnestly] mindful of His covenant and forever it is imprinted on His heart, the word which He commanded and established to a thousand generations,
9 The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His sworn promise to Isaac, [Luke 1:72, 73.]
10 Which He confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
11 Saying, Unto you will I give the land of Canaan as your measured portion, possession, and inheritance.
12 When they were but a few men in number, in fact, very few, and were temporary residents and strangers in it,
13 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people,
14 He allowed no man to do them wrong; in fact, He reproved kings for their sakes, [Gen. 12:17; 20:3-7.]
15 Saying, Touch not My anointed, and do My prophets no harm. [I Chron. 16:8-22.]
16 Moreover, He called for a famine upon the land [of Egypt]; He cut off every source of bread. [Gen. 41:54.]
17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold as a servant. [Gen. 45:5; 50:20, 21.]
18 His feet they hurt with fetters; he was laid in chains of iron and his soul entered into the iron,
19 Until his word [to his cruel brothers] came true, until the word of the Lord tried and tested him.
20 The king sent and loosed him, even the ruler of the peoples, and let him go free.
21 He made Joseph lord of his house and ruler of all his substance, [Gen. 41:40.]
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure and teach his elders wisdom.
23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. [Gen. 46:6.]
24 There [the Lord] greatly increased His people and made them stronger than their oppressors.
25 He turned the hearts [of the Egyptians] to hate His people, to deal craftily with His servants.
26 He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.
27 They showed His signs among them, wonders and miracles in the land of Ham (Egypt).
28 He sent [thick] darkness and made the land dark, and they [God's two servants] rebelled not against His word. [Exod. 10:22; Ps. 99:7.]
29 He turned [Egypt's] waters into blood and caused their fish to die. [Exod. 7:20, 21.]
30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, even in the chambers of their kings. [Exod. 8:6.]
31 He spoke, and there came swarms of beetles and flies and mosquitoes and lice in all their borders. [Exod. 8:17, 24.]
32 He gave them hail for rain, with lightning like flaming fire in their land. [Exod. 9:23, 25.]
33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees and broke the [ice-laden] trees of their borders. [Ps. 78:47.]
34 He spoke, and the locusts came, and the grasshoppers, and that without number, [Exod. 10:4, 13, 14.]
35 And ate up all the vegetation in their land and devoured the fruit of their ground.
36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the beginning and chief substance of all their strength. [Exod. 12:29; Ps. 78:51.]
37 He brought [Israel] forth also with silver and gold, and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. [Exod. 12:35.]
38 Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen upon the people. [Exod. 12:33.]
39 The Lord spread a cloud for a covering [by day], and a fire to give light in the night. [Exod. 13:21.]
40 [The Israelites] asked, and He brought quails and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. [Exod. 16:12-15.]
41 He opened the rock, and water gushed out; it ran in the dry places like a river. [Exod. 17:6; Num. 20:11.]
42 For He [earnestly] remembered His holy word and promise to Abraham His servant. [Gen. 15:14.]
43 And He brought forth His people with joy, and His chosen ones with gladness and singing,
44 And gave them the lands of the nations [of Canaan], and they reaped the fruits of those peoples' labor, [Deut. 6:10, 11.]
45 That they might observe His statutes and keep His laws [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying them]. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
