Psalms 105
105
1Give ye thanks to Jehovah — call ye in His name, Make known among the peoples His acts.
2Sing ye to Him — sing praise to Him, Meditate ye on all His wonders.
3Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking Jehovah rejoiceth.
4Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek ye His face continually.
5Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth.
6O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
7He [is] Jehovah our God, In all the earth [are] His judgments.
8He hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He commanded to a thousand generations,
9That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,
10And doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel — a covenant age-during,
11Saying, ‘To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,’
12In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it.
13And they go up and down, from nation unto nation, From a kingdom unto another people.
14He hath not suffered any to oppress them And He reproveth for their sakes kings.
15‘Strike not against Mine anointed, And to My prophets do not evil.’
16And He calleth a famine on the land, The whole staff of bread He hath broken.
17He hath sent before them a man, For a servant hath Joseph been sold.
18They have afflicted with fetters his feet, Iron hath entered his soul,
19Till the time of the coming of His word The saying of Jehovah hath tried him.
20The king hath sent, and looseth him, The ruler of the peoples, and draweth him out.
21He hath made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions.
22To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And his elders he maketh wise.
23And Israel cometh in to Egypt, And Jacob hath sojourned in the land of Ham.
24And He maketh His people very fruitful, And maketh it mightier than its adversaries.
25He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire against His servants.
26He hath sent Moses His servant, Aaron whom He had fixed on.
27They have set among them the matters of His signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.
28He hath sent darkness, and it is dark, And they have not provoked His word.
29He hath turned their waters to blood, And putteth to death their fish.
30Teemed hath their land [with] frogs, In the inner chambers of their kings.
31He hath said, and the beetle cometh, Lice into all their border.
32He hath made their showers hail, A flaming fire [is] in their land.
33And He smiteth their vine and their fig, And shivereth the trees of their border.
34He hath said, and the locust cometh, And the cankerworm — innumerable,
35And it consumeth every herb in their land, And it consumeth the fruit of their ground.
36And He smiteth every first-born in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,
37And bringeth them out with silver and gold, And there is not in its tribes a feeble one.
38Rejoiced hath Egypt in their going forth, For their fear had fallen upon them.
39He hath spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to enlighten the night.
40They have asked, and He bringeth quails, And [with] bread of heaven satisfieth them.
41He hath opened a rock, and waters issue, They have gone on in dry places — a river.
42For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant,
43And He bringeth forth His people with joy, With singing His chosen ones.
44And He giveth to them the lands of nations, And the labour of peoples they possess,
45That they may observe His statutes, And His laws may keep. Praise ye Jehovah!

Psalms 105
105
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!
