105:1 |
Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name! Make his doings known among the peoples. |
105:2 |
Sing to him, sing praises to him! Tell of all his marvelous works. |
105:3 |
Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice. |
105:4 |
Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more. |
105:5 |
Remember his marvelous works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth, |
105:6 |
you seed of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones. |
105:7 |
He is Yahweh, our God. His judgments are in all the earth. |
105:8 |
He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, |
105:9 |
the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac, |
105:10 |
and confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant, |
105:11 |
saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;" |
105:12 |
when they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it. |
105:13 |
They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people. |
105:14 |
He allowed no one to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes, |
105:15 |
"Don't touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!" |
105:16 |
He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies. |
105:17 |
He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave. |
105:18 |
They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons, |
105:19 |
until the time that his word happened, and Yahweh's word proved him true. |
105:20 |
The king sent and freed him; even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free. |
105:21 |
He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all of his possessions; |
105:22 |
to discipline his princes at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom. |
105:23 |
Israel also came into Egypt. Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. |
105:24 |
He increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries. |
105:25 |
He turned their heart to hate his people, to conspire against his servants. |
105:26 |
He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen. |
105:27 |
They performed miracles among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. |
105:28 |
He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn't rebel against his words. |
105:29 |
He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish. |
105:30 |
Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the chambers of their kings. |
105:31 |
He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and lice in all their borders. |
105:32 |
He gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land. |
105:33 |
He struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country. |
105:34 |
He spoke, and the locusts came, and the grasshoppers, without number, |
105:35 |
ate up every plant in their land; and ate up the fruit of their ground. |
105:36 |
He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood. |
105:37 |
He brought them forth with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person among his tribes. |
105:38 |
Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen on them. |
105:39 |
He spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the night. |
105:40 |
They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of the sky. |
105:41 |
He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places. |
105:42 |
For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant. |
105:43 |
He brought forth his people with joy, his chosen with singing. |
105:44 |
He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession, |
105:45 |
that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise Yah! |
