105:1  O GIVE thanks unto the Lord, call upon His name, make known His doings among the peoples!

105:2  Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; meditate on {and} talk of all His marvelous deeds {and} devoutly praise them.

105:3  Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those rejoice who seek {and} require the Lord [as their indispensable necessity].

105:4  Seek, inquire of {and} for the Lord, {and} crave Him and His strength (His might and inflexibility to temptation); seek {and} require His face {and} His presence [continually] evermore.

105:5  [Earnestly] remember the marvelous deeds that He has done, His miracles {and} wonders, the judgments {and} sentences which He pronounced [upon His enemies, as in Egypt].

105:6  O you offspring of Abraham His servant, you children of Jacob, His chosen ones,

105:7  He is the Lord our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

105:8  He is [earnestly] mindful of His covenant {and} forever it is imprinted on His heart, the word which He commanded {and} established to a thousand generations,

105:9  The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His sworn promise to Isaac,

105:10  Which He confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant,

105:11  Saying, Unto you will I give the land of Canaan as your measured portion, possession, {and} inheritance.

105:12  When they were but a few men in number, in fact, very few, and were temporary residents {and} strangers in it,

105:13  When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people,

105:14  He allowed no man to do them wrong; in fact, He reproved kings for their sakes,

105:15  Saying, Touch not My anointed, and do My prophets no harm.

105:16  Moreover, He called for a famine upon the land [of Egypt]; He cut off every source of bread.

105:17  He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold as a servant.

105:18  His feet they hurt with fetters; he was laid in chains of iron {and} his soul entered into the iron,

105:19  Until his word [to his cruel brothers] came true, until the word of the Lord tried {and} tested him.

105:20  The king sent and loosed him, even the ruler of the peoples, and let him go free.

105:21  He made Joseph lord of his house and ruler of all his substance,

105:22  To bind his princes at his pleasure and teach his elders wisdom.

105:23  Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

105:24  There [the Lord] greatly increased His people and made them stronger than their oppressors.

105:25  He turned the hearts [of the Egyptians] to hate His people, to deal craftily with His servants.

105:26  He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.

105:27  They showed His signs among them, wonders {and} miracles in the land of Ham (Egypt).

105:28  He sent [thick] darkness and made the land dark, and they [God's two servants] rebelled not against His word.

105:29  He turned [Egypt's] waters into blood and caused their fish to die.

105:30  Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, even in the chambers of their kings.

105:31  He spoke, and there came swarms of beetles {and} flies and mosquitoes {and} lice in all their borders.

105:32  He gave them hail for rain, with lightning like flaming fire in their land.

105:33  He smote their vines also and their fig trees and broke the [ice-laden] trees of their borders.

105:34  He spoke, and the locusts came, and the grasshoppers, and that without number,

105:35  And ate up all the vegetation in their land and devoured the fruit of their ground.

105:36  He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the beginning {and} chief substance of all their strength.

105:37  He brought [Israel] forth also with silver and gold, and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

105:38  Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen upon the people.

105:39  The Lord spread a cloud for a covering [by day], and a fire to give light in the night.

105:40  [The Israelites] asked, and He brought quails and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

105:41  He opened the rock, and water gushed out; it ran in the dry places like a river.

105:42  For He [earnestly] remembered His holy word {and} promise to Abraham His servant.

105:43  And He brought forth His people with joy, and His chosen ones with gladness {and} singing,

105:44  And gave them the lands of the nations [of Canaan], and they reaped the fruits of those peoples' labor,

105:45  That they might observe His statutes and keep His laws [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying them]. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
