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