Ps 105

GGive thanks to the Lord, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations. (LXX 104:1; Rahlfs 104:1) הוֹד֣וּ לַ֭יהוָה קִרְא֣וּ בִּשְׁמ֑וֹ הוֹדִ֥יעוּ בָ֝עַמִּ֗ים עֲלִילוֹתָֽיו׃ 2Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders. (LXX 104:2; Rahlfs 104:2) שִֽׁירוּ־ל֭וֹ זַמְּרוּ־ל֑וֹ שִׂ֝֗יחוּ בְּכָל־נִפְלְאוֹתָֽיו׃ 3Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. (LXX 104:3; Rahlfs 104:3) הִֽ֭תְהַלְלוּ בְּשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשׁ֑וֹ יִ֝שְׂמַ֗ח לֵ֤ב ׀ מְבַקְשֵׁ֬י יְהוָֽה׃ 4Seek out the Lord and His strength; seek His face always. (LXX 104:4; Rahlfs 104:4) דִּרְשׁ֣וּ יְהוָ֣ה וְעֻזּ֑וֹ בַּקְּשׁ֖וּ פָנָ֣יו תָּמִֽיד׃ 5Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced, (LXX 104:5; Rahlfs 104:5) זִכְר֗וּ נִפְלְאוֹתָ֥יו אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂ֑ה מֹ֝פְתָ֗יו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי־פִֽיו׃ 6O offspring of His servant Abraham, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones. (LXX 104:6; Rahlfs 104:6) זֶ֭רַע אַבְרָהָ֣ם עַבְדּ֑וֹ בְּנֵ֖י יַעֲקֹ֣ב בְּחִירָֽיו׃ 7He is the Lord our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth. (LXX 104:7; Rahlfs 104:7) ה֭וּא יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ בְּכָל־הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ מִשְׁפָּטָֽיו׃ 8He remembers His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations— (LXX 104:8; Rahlfs 104:8) זָכַ֣ר לְעוֹלָ֣ם בְּרִית֑וֹ דָּבָ֥ר צִ֝וָּ֗ה לְאֶ֣לֶף דּֽוֹר׃ 9the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac. (LXX 104:9; Rahlfs 104:9) אֲשֶׁ֣ר כָּ֭רַת אֶת־אַבְרָהָ֑ם וּשְׁב֖וּעָת֣וֹ לְיִשְׂחָֽק׃ 10He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant: (LXX 104:10; Rahlfs 104:10) וַיַּֽעֲמִידֶ֣הָ לְיַעֲקֹ֣ב לְחֹ֑ק לְ֝יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל בְּרִ֣ית עוֹלָֽם׃ 11“I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.” (LXX 104:11; Rahlfs 104:11) לֵאמֹ֗ר לְךָ֗ אֶתֵּ֥ן אֶת־אֶֽרֶץ־כְּנָ֑עַן חֶ֝֗בֶל נַחֲלַתְכֶֽם׃ 12When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land, (LXX 104:12; Rahlfs 104:12) בִּֽ֭הְיוֹתָם מְתֵ֣י מִסְפָּ֑ר כִּ֝מְעַ֗ט וְגָרִ֥ים בָּֽהּ׃ 13they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another. (LXX 104:13; Rahlfs 104:13) וַֽ֭יִּתְהַלְּכוּ מִגּ֣וֹי אֶל־גּ֑וֹי מִ֝מַּמְלָכָ֗ה אֶל־עַ֥ם אַחֵֽר׃ 14He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf: (LXX 104:14; Rahlfs 104:14) לֹֽא־הִנִּ֣יחַ אָדָ֣ם לְעָשְׁקָ֑ם וַיּ֖וֹכַח עֲלֵיהֶ֣ם מְלָכִֽים׃ 15“Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!” (LXX 104:15; Rahlfs 104:15) אַֽל־תִּגְּע֥וּ בִמְשִׁיחָ֑י וְ֝לִנְבִיאַי אַל־תָּרֵֽעוּ׃ 16He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food. (LXX 104:16; Rahlfs 104:16) וַיִּקְרָ֣א רָ֭עָב עַל־הָאָ֑רֶץ כָּֽל־מַטֵּה־לֶ֥חֶם שָׁבָֽר׃ 17He sent a man before them—Joseph, sold as a slave. (LXX 104:17; Rahlfs 104:17) שָׁלַ֣ח לִפְנֵיהֶ֣ם אִ֑ישׁ לְ֝עֶ֗בֶד נִמְכַּ֥ר יוֹסֵֽף׃ 18They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons, (LXX 104:18; Rahlfs 104:18) עִנּ֣וּ בַכֶּ֣בֶל רגליו בַּ֝רְזֶ֗ל בָּ֣אָה נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃ 19until his prediction came true and the word of the Lord proved him right. (LXX 104:19; Rahlfs 104:19) עַד־עֵ֥ת בֹּֽא־דְבָר֑וֹ אִמְרַ֖ת יְהוָ֣ה צְרָפָֽתְהוּ׃ 20The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free. (LXX 104:20; Rahlfs 104:20) שָׁ֣לַח מֶ֭לֶךְ וַיַּתִּירֵ֑הוּ מֹשֵׁ֥ל עַ֝מִּ֗ים וַֽיְפַתְּחֵֽהוּ׃ 21He made him master of his household, ruler over all his substance, (LXX 104:21; Rahlfs 104:21) שָׂמ֣וֹ אָד֣וֹן לְבֵית֑וֹ וּ֝מֹשֵׁ֗ל בְּכָל־קִנְיָנֽוֹ׃ 22to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom. (LXX 104:22; Rahlfs 104:22) לֶאְסֹ֣ר שָׂרָ֣יו בְּנַפְשׁ֑וֹ וּזְקֵנָ֥יו יְחַכֵּֽם׃ 23Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham. (LXX 104:23; Rahlfs 104:23) וַיָּבֹ֣א יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל מִצְרָ֑יִם וְ֝יַעֲקֹ֗ב גָּ֣ר בְּאֶֽרֶץ־חָֽם׃ 24And the Lord made His people very fruitful, more numerous than their foes, (LXX 104:24; Rahlfs 104:24) וַיֶּ֣פֶר אֶת־עַמּ֣וֹ מְאֹ֑ד וַ֝יַּֽעֲצִמֵהוּ מִצָּרָֽיו׃ 25whose hearts He turned to hate His people, to conspire against His servants. (LXX 104:25; Rahlfs 104:25) הָפַ֣ךְ לִ֭בָּם לִשְׂנֹ֣א עַמּ֑וֹ לְ֝הִתְנַכֵּ֗ל בַּעֲבָדָֽיו׃ 26He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen. (LXX 104:26; Rahlfs 104:26) שָׁ֭לַח מֹשֶׁ֣ה עַבְדּ֑וֹ אַ֝הֲרֹ֗ן אֲשֶׁ֣ר בָּֽחַר־בּֽוֹ׃ 27They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. (LXX 104:27; Rahlfs 104:27) שָֽׂמוּ־בָ֭ם דִּבְרֵ֣י אֹתוֹתָ֑יו וּ֝מֹפְתִ֗ים בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חָֽם׃ 28He sent darkness, and it became dark—yet they defied His words. (LXX 104:28; Rahlfs 104:28) שָׁ֣לַֽח חֹ֭שֶׁךְ וַיַּחְשִׁ֑ךְ וְלֹֽא־מָ֝ר֗וּ אֶת־דברוו׃ 29He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die. (LXX 104:29; Rahlfs 104:29) הָפַ֣ךְ אֶת־מֵימֵיהֶ֣ם לְדָ֑ם וַ֝יָּ֗מֶת אֶת־דְּגָתָֽם׃ 30Their land teemed with frogs, even in their royal chambers. (LXX 104:30; Rahlfs 104:30) שָׁרַ֣ץ אַרְצָ֣ם צְפַרְדְּעִ֑ים בְּ֝חַדְרֵ֗י מַלְכֵיהֶֽם׃ 31He spoke, and insects swarmed—gnats throughout their country. (LXX 104:31; Rahlfs 104:31) אָ֭מַר וַיָּבֹ֣א עָרֹ֑ב כִּ֝נִּ֗ים בְּכָל־גְּבוּלָֽם׃ 32He gave them hail for rain, with lightning throughout their land. (LXX 104:32; Rahlfs 104:32) נָתַ֣ן גִּשְׁמֵיהֶ֣ם בָּרָ֑ד אֵ֖שׁ לֶהָב֣וֹת בְּאַרְצָֽם׃ 33He struck their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country. (LXX 104:33; Rahlfs 104:33) וַיַּ֣ךְ גַּ֭פְנָם וּתְאֵנָתָ֑ם וַ֝יְשַׁבֵּ֗ר עֵ֣ץ גְּבוּלָֽם׃ 34He spoke, and the locusts came—young locusts without number. (LXX 104:34; Rahlfs 104:34) אָ֭מַר וַיָּבֹ֣א אַרְבֶּ֑ה וְ֝יֶ֗לֶק וְאֵ֣ין מִסְפָּֽר׃ 35They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil. (LXX 104:35; Rahlfs 104:35) וַיֹּ֣אכַל כָּל־עֵ֣שֶׂב בְּאַרְצָ֑ם וַ֝יֹּ֗אכַל פְּרִ֣י אַדְמָתָֽם׃ 36Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor. (LXX 104:36; Rahlfs 104:36) וַיַּ֣ךְ כָּל־בְּכ֣וֹר בְּאַרְצָ֑ם רֵ֝אשִׁ֗ית לְכָל־אוֹנָֽם׃ 37He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled. (LXX 104:37; Rahlfs 104:37) וַֽ֭יּוֹצִיאֵם בְּכֶ֣סֶף וְזָהָ֑ב וְאֵ֖ין בִּשְׁבָטָ֣יו כּוֹשֵֽׁל׃ 38Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them. (LXX 104:38; Rahlfs 104:38) שָׂמַ֣ח מִצְרַ֣יִם בְּצֵאתָ֑ם כִּֽי־נָפַ֖ל פַּחְדָּ֣ם עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃ 39He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night. (LXX 104:39; Rahlfs 104:39) פָּרַ֣שׂ עָנָ֣ן לְמָסָ֑ךְ וְ֝אֵ֗שׁ לְהָאִ֥יר לָֽיְלָה׃ 40They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. (LXX 104:40; Rahlfs 104:40) שָׁאַ֣ל וַיָּבֵ֣א שְׂלָ֑ו וְלֶ֥חֶם שָׁ֝מַ֗יִם יַשְׂבִּיעֵֽם׃ 41He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert. (LXX 104:41; Rahlfs 104:41) פָּ֣תַח צ֭וּר וַיָּז֣וּבוּ מָ֑יִם הָ֝לְכ֗וּ בַּצִּיּ֥וֹת נָהָֽר׃ 42For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant. (LXX 104:42; Rahlfs 104:42) כִּֽי־זָ֭כַר אֶת־דְּבַ֣ר קָדְשׁ֑וֹ אֶֽת־אַבְרָהָ֥ם עַבְדּֽוֹ׃ 43He brought forth His people with rejoicing, His chosen with shouts of joy. (LXX 104:43; Rahlfs 104:43) וַיּוֹצִ֣א עַמּ֣וֹ בְשָׂשׂ֑וֹן בְּ֝רִנָּ֗ה אֶת־בְּחִירָֽיו׃ 44He gave them the lands of the nations, that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor, (LXX 104:44; Rahlfs 104:44) וַיִּתֵּ֣ן לָ֭הֶם אַרְצ֣וֹת גּוֹיִ֑ם וַעֲמַ֖ל לְאֻמִּ֣ים יִירָֽשׁוּ׃ 45that they might keep His statutes and obey His laws. Hallelujah! (LXX 104:45; Rahlfs 104:45) בַּעֲב֤וּר ׀ יִשְׁמְר֣וּ חֻ֭קָּיו וְתוֹרֹתָ֥יו יִנְצֹ֗רוּ הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
