Chapter 105

  Give ye thanks to Jehovah -- call ye in His name, Make known among the peoples His acts.  

-

  Sing ye to Him -- sing praise to Him, Meditate ye on all His wonders.  

-

  Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking Jehovah rejoiceth.  

-

  Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek ye His face continually.  

-

  Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth.  

-

  O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.  

-

  He [is] Jehovah our God, In all the earth [are] His judgments.  

-

  He hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He commanded to a thousand generations,  

-

  That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,  

-

  And doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel -- a covenant age-during,  

-

  Saying, 'To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,'  

-

  In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it.  

-

  And they go up and down, from nation unto nation, From a kingdom unto another people.  

-

  He hath not suffered any to oppress them And He reproveth for their sakes kings.  

-

  'Strike not against Mine anointed, And to My prophets do not evil.'  

-

  And He calleth a famine on the land, The whole staff of bread He hath broken.  

-

  He hath sent before them a man, For a servant hath Joseph been sold.  

-

  They have afflicted with fetters his feet, Iron hath entered his soul,  

-

  Till the time of the coming of His word The saying of Jehovah hath tried him.  

-

  The king hath sent, and looseth him, The ruler of the peoples, and draweth him out.  

-

  He hath made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions.  

-

  To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And his elders he maketh wise.  

-

  And Israel cometh in to Egypt, And Jacob hath sojourned in the land of Ham.  

-

  And He maketh His people very fruitful, And maketh it mightier than its adversaries.  

-

  He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire against His servants.  

-

  He hath sent Moses His servant, Aaron whom He had fixed on.  

-

  They have set among them the matters of His signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.  

-

  He hath sent darkness, and it is dark, And they have not provoked His word.  

-

  He hath turned their waters to blood, And putteth to death their fish.  

-

  Teemed hath their land [with] frogs, In the inner chambers of their kings.  

-

  He hath said, and the beetle cometh, Lice into all their border.  

-

  He hath made their showers hail, A flaming fire [is] in their land.  

-

  And He smiteth their vine and their fig, And shivereth the trees of their border.  

-

  He hath said, and the locust cometh, And the cankerworm -- innumerable,  

-

  And it consumeth every herb in their land, And it consumeth the fruit of their ground.  

-

  And He smiteth every first-born in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,  

-

  And bringeth them out with silver and gold, And there is not in its tribes a feeble one.  

-

  Rejoiced hath Egypt in their going forth, For their fear had fallen upon them.  

-

  He hath spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to enlighten the night.  

-

  They have asked, and He bringeth quails, And [with] bread of heaven satisfieth them.  

-

  He hath opened a rock, and waters issue, They have gone on in dry places -- a river.  

-

  For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant,  

-

  And He bringeth forth His people with joy, With singing His chosen ones.  

-

  And He giveth to them the lands of nations, And the labour of peoples they possess,  

-

  That they may observe His statutes, And His laws may keep. Praise ye Jehovah!
