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