Psalmen 105

1. ¹O give thanks unto the LORD, call upon His name; make known His doings among the peoples.
2. ²Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; speak ye of all His marvellous works.
3. ³Glory ye in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
4. ⁴Seek ye the LORD and His strength; seek His face continually.
5. ⁵Remember His marvellous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth;
6. ⁶O ye seed of Abraham His servant, ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones.
7. ⁷He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
8. ⁸He hath remembered His covenant for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations;
9. ⁹The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath unto Isaac;
10. ¹⁰And He established it unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant;
11. ¹¹Saying: 'Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.'
12. ¹²When they were but a few men in number. Yea, very few, and sojourners in it,
13. ¹³And when they went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,
14. ¹⁴He suffered no man to do them wrong, yea, for their sake He reproved kings:
15. ¹⁵'Touch not Mine anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.'
16. ¹⁶And He called a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.
17. ¹⁷He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant;
18. ¹⁸His feet they hurt with fetters, his person was laid in iron;
19. ¹⁹Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the LORD tested him.
20. ²⁰The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the peoples, and set him free.
21. ²¹He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his possessions;
22. ²²To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom.
23. ²³Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24. ²⁴And He increased His people greatly, and made them too mighty for their adversaries.
25. ²⁵He turned their heart to hate His people, to deal craftily with His servants.
26. ²⁶He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron whom He had chosen.
27. ²⁷They wrought among them His manifold signs, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28. ²⁸He sent darkness, and it was dark; and they rebelled not against His word.
29. ²⁹He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
30. ³⁰Their land swarmed with frogs, in the chambers of their kings.
31. ³¹He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats in all their borders.
32. ³²He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
33. ³³He smote their vines also and their fig-trees; and broke the trees of their borders.
34. ³⁴He spoke, and the locust came, and the canker-worm without number,
35. ³⁵And did eat up every herb in their land, and did eat up the fruit of their ground.
36. ³⁶He smote also all the first-born in their land, the first-fruits of all their strength.
37. ³⁷And He brought them forth with silver and gold; and there was none that stumbled among His tribes.
38. ³⁸Egypt was glad when they departed; for the fear of them had fallen upon them.
39. ³⁹He spread a cloud for a screen; and fire to give light in the night.
40. ⁴⁰They asked, and He brought quails, and gave them in plenty the bread of heaven.
41. ⁴¹He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; they ran, a river in the dry places.
42. ⁴²For He remembered His holy word unto Abraham His servant;
43. ⁴³And He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with singing.
44. ⁴⁴And He gave them the lands of the nations, and they took the labour of the peoples in possession;
45. ⁴⁵That they might keep His statutes, and observe His laws. Hallelujah.
