Psalm 105:1-45 - Praise To Yahweh For His Work On Behalf Of Israel

¹ Give ye thanks to Jehovah -- call ye in His name, Make known among the peoples His acts. ² Sing ye to Him -- sing praise to Him, Meditate ye on all His wonders. ³ Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking Jehovah rejoiceth. ⁴ Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek ye His face continually. ⁵ Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth. ⁶ O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

⁷ He is Jehovah our God, In all the earth are His judgments. ⁸ He hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He commanded to a thousand generations, ⁹ That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac, ¹⁰ And doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel -- a covenant age-during, ¹¹ Saying, 'To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,'

¹² In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it. ¹³ And they go up and down, from nation unto nation, From a kingdom unto another people. ¹⁴ He 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.'

¹⁶ And He calleth a famine on the land, The whole staff of bread He hath broken. ¹⁷ He hath sent before them a man, For a servant hath Joseph been sold. ¹⁸ They have afflicted with fetters his feet, Iron hath entered his soul, ¹⁹ Till the time of the coming of His word The saying of Jehovah hath tried him. ²⁰ The king hath sent, and looseth him, The ruler of the peoples, and draweth him out. ²¹ He hath made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions. ²² To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And his elders he maketh wise.

²³ And Israel cometh in to Egypt, And Jacob hath sojourned in the land of Ham. ²⁴ And He maketh His people very fruitful, And maketh it mightier than its adversaries. ²⁵ He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire against His servants. ²⁶ He hath sent Moses His servant, Aaron whom He had fixed on. ²⁷ They have set among them the matters of His signs, And wonders in the land of Ham. ²⁸ He hath sent darkness, and it is dark, And they have not provoked His word. ²⁹ He hath turned their waters to blood, And putteth to death their fish. ³⁰ Teemed hath their land with frogs, In the inner chambers of their kings. ³¹ He hath said, and the beetle cometh, Lice into all their border. ³² He hath made their showers hail, A flaming fire is in their land. ³³ And He smiteth their vine and their fig, And shivereth the trees of their border. ³⁴ He hath said, and the locust cometh, And the cankerworm -- innumerable, ³⁵ And it consumeth every herb in their land, And it consumeth the fruit of their ground. ³⁶ And He smiteth every first-born in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,

³⁷ And bringeth them out with silver and gold, And there is not in its tribes a feeble one. ³⁸ Rejoiced hath Egypt in their going forth, For their fear had fallen upon them. ³⁹ He hath spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to enlighten the night. ⁴⁰ They have asked, and He bringeth quails, And with bread of heaven satisfieth them. ⁴¹ He hath opened a rock, and waters issue, They have gone on in dry places -- a river. ⁴² For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant, ⁴³ And He bringeth forth His people with joy, With singing His chosen ones. ⁴⁴ And He giveth to them the lands of nations, And the labour of peoples they possess,

⁴⁵ That they may observe His statutes, And His laws may keep. Praise ye Jehovah!
