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!)

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!
