PSALM 105
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Give thanks to God, call on his name;
to men his deeds make known.
2Sing ye to him, sing psalms; proclaim
his wondrous works each one.
3See that ye in his holy name
to glory do accord;
And let the heart of ev'ry one
rejoice that seeks the Lord.
4The Lord Almighty, and his strength,
with stedfast hearts seek ye:
His blessed and his gracious face
seek ye continually.
5Think on the works that he hath done,
which admiration breed;
His wonders, and the judgments all
which from his mouth proceed;
6O ye that are of Abr'ham's race,
his servant well approv'n;
And ye that Jacob's children are,
whom he chose for his own.
7Because he, and he only, is
the mighty Lord our God;
And his most righteous judgments are
in all the earth abroad.
8His cov'nant he remember'd hath,
that it may ever stand:
To thousand generations
the word he did command.
9Which covenant he firmly made
with faithful Abraham,
And unto Isaac, by his oath,
he did renew the same:
10And unto Jacob, for a law,
he made it firm and sure,
A covenant to Israel,
which ever should endure.
11He said, I'll give Canaan's land
for heritage to you;
12While they were strangers there,
and few, in number very few:
13While yet they went from land to land
without a sure abode;
And while through sundry kingdoms they
did wander far abroad;
14Yet, notwithstanding suffer'd he
no man to do them wrong:
Yea, for their sakes, he did reprove
kings, who were great and strong.
15Thus did he say, Touch ye not those
that mine anointed be,
Nor do the prophets any harm
that do pertain to me.
16He call'd for famine on the land,
he brake the staff of bread:
17But yet he sent a man before,
by whom they should be fed;
Ev'n Joseph, whom unnat'rally
sell for a slave did they;
18Whose feet with fetters they did hurt,
and he in irons lay;
19Until the time that his word came
to give him liberty;
The word and purpose of the Lord
did him in prison try.
20Then sent the king, and did command
that he enlarg'd should be:
He that the people's ruler was
did send to set him free.
21A lord to rule his family
he rais'd him, as most fit;
To him of all that he possess'd
he did the charge commit:
22That he might at his pleasure bind
the princes of the land;
And he might teach his senators
wisdom to understand.
23The people then of Israel
down into Egypt came;
And Jacob also sojourned
within the land of Ham.
24And he did greatly by his pow'r
increase his people there;
And stronger than their enemies
they by his blessing were.
25Their heart he turned to envy
his folk maliciously,
With those that his own servants were
to deal in subtilty.
26His servant Moses he did send,
Aaron his chosen one.
27By these his signs and wonders great
in Ham's land were made known.
28Darkness he sent, and made it dark;
his word they did obey.
29He turn'd their waters into blood,
and he their fish did slay.
30The land in plenty brought forth frogs
in chambers of their kings.
31His word all sorts of flies and lice
in all their borders brings.
32He hail for rain, and flaming fire
into their land he sent:
33And he their vines and fig-trees smote:
trees of their coasts he rent.
34He spake, and caterpillars came,
locusts did much abound;
35Which in their land all herbs consum'd,
and all fruits of their ground.
36He smote all first-born in their land,
chief of their strength each one.
37With gold and silver brought them forth,
weak in their tribes were none.
38Egypt was glad when forth they went,
their fear on them did light.
39He spread a cloud for covering,
and fire to shine by night.
40They ask'd, and he brought quails:
with bread of heav'n he filled them.
41He open'd rocks, floods gush'd,
and ran in deserts like a stream.
42For on his holy promise he,
and servant Abr'ham, thought.
43With joy his people, his elect
with gladness, forth he brought.
44And unto them the pleasant lands
he of the heathen gave;
That of the people's labour they
inheritance might have.
45That they his statutes might observe
according to his word;
And that they might his laws obey.
Give praise unto the Lord.

Tehillim (Psalms) 105
105
1Give thanks to יהוה! Call upon His Name, Make known His deeds among the peoples.
2Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; Speak of all His wonders.
3Make your boast in His set-apart Name; Let the hearts rejoice of those seeking יהוה.
4Seek יהוה and His strength; Seek His face always.
5Remember His wonders which He has done, His miracles, and the right-rulings of His mouth,
6O seed of Aḇraham His servant, Children of Ya‛aqoḇ, His chosen ones!
7He is יהוה our Elohim; His right-rulings are in all the earth.
8He has remembered His covenant forever, The Word He commanded, for a thousand generations,
9The covenant He made with Aḇraham, And His oath to Yitsḥaq,
10And established it to Ya‛aqoḇ for a law, To Yisra’ĕl – an everlasting covenant,
11Saying, “To you I give the land of Kena‛an, The portion of your inheritance.”
12When they were few in number, Few indeed, and sojourners in it,
13And they went about from one nation to another, From one reign to another people,
14He allowed no one to oppress them, And He reproved sovereigns for their sakes,
15Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no evil.”
16And He called for a scarcity of food in the land; He cut off all the supply of bread.
17He sent ahead of them a man, Yosĕph, sold as a slave.
18They afflicted his feet with shackles, His neck was put in irons.
19Until the time that His Word came, The Word of יהוה tried him.
20The sovereign sent and released him, The ruler of the people let him loose.
21He made him master of his house, And ruler over all his possessions,
22To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And to teach his elders wisdom.
23Then Yisra’ĕl came to Mitsrayim, And Ya‛aqoḇ sojourned in the land of Ḥam.
24And He increased His people greatly, And made them stronger than their enemies.
25He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire against His servants.
26He sent Mosheh His servant, Aharon whom He had chosen.
27They set among them the matters of His signs, And wonders in the land of Ḥam.
28He sent darkness, and made it dark; And they did not rebel against His word.
29He turned their waters into blood, And killed their fish.
30Their land teemed with frogs, In the rooms of their sovereigns.
31He spoke, and swarms of flies came, Gnats in all their borders.
32He gave them hail for rain, A flaming fire in their land.
33And He struck their vines and their fig trees, And broke the trees of their borders.
34He spoke, and locusts came, And larvae, innumerable,
35And they devoured all the plants in their land, And they devoured the fruit of their ground.
36Then He struck all the first-born in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,
37And brought them out with silver and gold, And among His tribes no one faltered.
38Mitsrayim was glad when they left, For the fear of them had fallen upon them.
39He spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to give light in the night.
40They asked, and He brought quail, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41He opened the rock, and water gushed out; It ran in the dry places, a river.
42For He remembered His set-apart word, To Aḇraham His servant.
43So He brought out His people with joy, His chosen ones with singing.
44And He gave to them the lands of the nations, And they inherited the labour of peoples,
45In order that they might guard His laws, And watch over His Torot.#Torot - plural of Torah - teaching. Praise Yah!
