Psalm 105
1Give thanks to the Lord.
Call on him.
Make known among the nations what he has done.
2Sing to him.
Make music to praise him.
Meditate on all the miracles he has performed.
3Brag about his holy name.
Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
4Search for the Lord and his strength.
Always seek his presence.
5Remember the miracles he performed,
the amazing things he did, and the judgments he pronounced,
6you descendants of his servant Abraham,
you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7He is the Lord our God.
His judgments are pronounced throughout the earth.
8He always remembers his promise,#105:8 Or “covenant.”
the word that he commanded for a thousand generations,
9the promise that he made to Abraham,
and his sworn oath to Isaac.
10He confirmed it as a law for Jacob,
as an everlasting promise to Israel,
11by saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan.
It is your share of the inheritance.”
12While the people of Israel were few in number,
a small group of foreigners living in that land,
13they wandered from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another.
14He didn’t permit anyone to oppress them.
He warned kings about them:
15“Do not touch my anointed ones
or harm my prophets.”
16He brought famine to the land.
He took away their food supply.
17He sent a man ahead of them.
He sent Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18They hurt his feet with shackles,
and cut into his neck with an iron collar.
19The Lord’s promise tested him through fiery trials
until his prediction came true.
20The king sent someone to release him.
The ruler of nations set him free.
21He made Joseph the master of his palace
and the ruler of all his possessions.
22Joseph trained the king’s officers the way he wanted
and taught his respected leaders wisdom.
23Then Israel came to Egypt.
Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham.
24The Lord made his people grow rapidly in number
and stronger than their enemies.
25He changed their minds so that they hated his people,
and they dealt treacherously with his servants.
26He sent his servant Moses, and he sent Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27They displayed his miraculous signs among them
and did amazing things in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness and made ⌞their land⌟ dark.
They did not rebel against his orders.
29He turned their water into blood
and caused their fish to die.
30He made their land swarm with frogs,
even in the kings’ bedrooms.
31He spoke, and swarms of flies and gnats
infested their whole territory.
32He gave them hail and lightning
instead of rain throughout their land.
33He struck their grapevines and fig trees
and smashed the trees in their territory.
34He spoke, and countless locusts and grasshoppers came.
35They devoured all the plants in the land.
They devoured the crops in the fields.
36He killed all the firstborn sons,
the first ones born in the land when their fathers were young.
37He brought Israel out with silver and gold,
and no one among his tribes stumbled.
38The Egyptians were terrified of Israel,
so they were glad when Israel left.
39He spread out a cloud as a protective covering
and a fire to light up the night.
40The Israelites asked, and he brought them quail
and filled them with bread from heaven.
41He opened a rock, and water gushed
and flowed like a river through the dry places.
42He remembered his holy promise to his servant Abraham.
43He brought his people out with joy,
his chosen ones with a song of joy.
44He gave them the lands of ⌞other⌟ nations,
and they inherited what others had worked for
45so that they would obey his laws
and follow his teachings.
Hallelujah!

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!
