Psalmen 105

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