The Book of Psalms, Chapter 105תהלים 105

הוֹד֣וּ לַ֭יהוָה קִרְא֣וּ בִּשְׁמ֑וֹ הוֹדִ֥יעוּ בָ֝עַמִּ֗ים עֲלִילוֹתָֽיו

O give thanks to YHWH; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.

שִֽׁירוּ ל֭וֹ זַמְּרוּ ל֑וֹ שִׂ֝֗יחוּ בְּכָל נִפְלְאוֹתָֽיו

Sing to him, sing psalms to him: talk you of all his wondrous works.

הִֽ֭תְהַלְלוּ בְּשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשׁ֑וֹ יִ֝שְׂמַ֗ח לֵ֤ב מְבַקְשֵׁ֬י יְהוָֽה

Glory you in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek YHWH.

דִּרְשׁ֣וּ יְהוָ֣ה וְעֻזּ֑וֹ בַּקְּשׁ֖וּ פָנָ֣יו תָּמִֽיד

Seek YHWH, and his strength: seek his face evermore.

זִכְר֗וּ נִפְלְאוֹתָ֥יו אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂ֑ה מֹ֝פְתָ֗יו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי פִֽיו

Remember his marvellous works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

זֶ֭רַע אַבְרָהָ֣ם עַבְדּ֑וֹ בְּנֵ֖י יַעֲקֹ֣ב בְּחִירָֽיו

O you seed of Abraham his servant, you children of Jacob his chosen.

ה֭וּא יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ בְּכָל הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ מִשְׁפָּטָֽיו

He YHWH our God: his judgments in all the earth.

זָכַ֣ר לְעוֹלָ֣ם בְּרִית֑וֹ דָּבָ֥ר צִ֝וָּ֗ה לְאֶ֣לֶף דּֽוֹר

He has remembered his covenant for ever, the word he commanded to a thousand generations.

אֲשֶׁ֣ר כָּ֭רַת אֶת אַבְרָהָ֑ם וּשְׁב֖וּעָת֣וֹ לְיִשְׂחָֽק

Which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac;

וַיַּֽעֲמִידֶ֣הָ לְיַעֲקֹ֣ב לְחֹ֑ק לְ֝יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל בְּרִ֣ית עוֹלָֽם

And confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, to Israel an everlasting covenant:

לֵאמֹ֗ר לְךָ֗ אֶתֵּ֥ן אֶת אֶֽרֶץ כְּנָ֑עַן חֶ֝֗בֶל נַחֲלַתְכֶֽם

Saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:

בִּֽ֭הְיוֹתָם מְתֵ֣י מִסְפָּ֑ר כִּ֝מְעַ֗ט וְגָרִ֥ים בָּֽהּ

When they were a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.

וַֽ֭יִּתְהַלְּכוּ מִגּ֣וֹי אֶל גּ֑וֹי מִ֝מַּמְלָכָ֗ה אֶל עַ֥ם אַחֵֽר

When they went from one nation to another, from kingdom to another people;

לֹֽא הִנִּ֣יחַ אָדָ֣ם לְעָשְׁקָ֑ם וַיּ֖וֹכַח עֲלֵיהֶ֣ם מְלָכִֽים

He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;

אַֽל תִּגְּע֥וּ בִמְשִׁיחָ֑י וְ֝לִנְבִיאַי אַל תָּרֵֽעוּ

, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

וַיִּקְרָ֣א רָ֭עָב עַל הָאָ֑רֶץ כָּֽל מַטֵּה לֶ֥חֶם שָׁבָֽר

Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.

שָׁלַ֣ח לִפְנֵיהֶ֣ם אִ֑ישׁ לְ֝עֶ֗בֶד נִמְכַּ֥ר יוֹסֵֽף

He sent a man before them, Joseph, was sold for a servant:

עִנּ֣וּ בַכֶּ֣בֶל רגליו רַגְל֑וֹ בַּ֝רְזֶ֗ל בָּ֣אָה נַפְשֽׁוֹ

Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:

עַד עֵ֥ת בֹּֽא דְבָר֑וֹ אִמְרַ֖ת יְהוָ֣ה צְרָפָֽתְהוּ

Until the time that his word came: the word of YHWH tried him.

שָׁ֣לַח מֶ֭לֶךְ וַיַּתִּירֵ֑הוּ מֹשֵׁ֥ל עַ֝מִּ֗ים וַֽיְפַתְּחֵֽהוּ

The king sent and loosed him; the ruler of the people, and let him go free.

שָׂמ֣וֹ אָד֣וֹן לְבֵית֑וֹ וּ֝מֹשֵׁ֗ל בְּכָל קִנְיָנֽוֹ

He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:

לֶאְסֹ֣ר שָׂרָ֣יו בְּנַפְשׁ֑וֹ וּזְקֵנָ֥יו יְחַכֵּֽם

To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.

וַיָּבֹ֣א יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל מִצְרָ֑יִם וְ֝יַעֲקֹ֗ב גָּ֣ר בְּאֶֽרֶץ חָֽם

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

וַיֶּ֣פֶר אֶת עַמּ֣וֹ מְאֹ֑ד וַ֝יַּֽעֲצִמֵהוּ מִצָּרָֽיו

And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.

הָפַ֣ךְ לִ֭בָּם לִשְׂנֹ֣א עַמּ֑וֹ לְ֝הִתְנַכֵּ֗ל בַּעֲבָדָֽיו

He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.

שָׁ֭לַח מֹשֶׁ֣ה עַבְדּ֑וֹ אַ֝הֲרֹ֗ן אֲשֶׁ֣ר בָּֽחַר בּֽוֹ

He sent Moses his servant; Aaron whom he had chosen.

שָֽׂמוּ בָ֭ם דִּבְרֵ֣י אֹתוֹתָ֑יו וּ֝מֹפְתִ֗ים בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חָֽם

They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

שָׁ֣לַֽח חֹ֭שֶׁךְ וַיַּחְשִׁ֑ךְ וְלֹֽא מָ֝ר֗וּ אֶת דברוו דְּבָרֽוֹ

He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.

הָפַ֣ךְ אֶת מֵימֵיהֶ֣ם לְדָ֑ם וַ֝יָּ֗מֶת אֶת דְּגָתָֽם

He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.

שָׁרַ֣ץ אַרְצָ֣ם צְפַרְדְּעִ֑ים בְּ֝חַדְרֵ֗י מַלְכֵיהֶֽם

Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.

אָ֭מַר וַיָּבֹ֣א עָרֹ֑ב כִּ֝נִּ֗ים בְּכָל גְּבוּלָֽם

He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, lice in all their coasts.

נָתַ֣ן גִּשְׁמֵיהֶ֣ם בָּרָ֑ד אֵ֖שׁ לֶהָב֣וֹת בְּאַרְצָֽם

He gave them hail for rain, flaming fire in their land.

וַיַּ֣ךְ גַּ֭פְנָם וּתְאֵנָתָ֑ם וַ֝יְשַׁבֵּ֗ר עֵ֣ץ גְּבוּלָֽם

He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.

אָ֭מַר וַיָּבֹ֣א אַרְבֶּ֑ה וְ֝יֶ֗לֶק וְאֵ֣ין מִסְפָּֽר

He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,

וַיֹּ֣אכַל כָּל עֵ֣שֶׂב בְּאַרְצָ֑ם וַ֝יֹּ֗אכַל פְּרִ֣י אַדְמָתָֽם

And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

וַיַּ֣ךְ כָּל בְּכ֣וֹר בְּאַרְצָ֑ם רֵ֝אשִׁ֗ית לְכָל אוֹנָֽם

He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.

וַֽ֭יּוֹצִיאֵם בְּכֶ֣סֶף וְזָהָ֑ב וְאֵ֖ין בִּשְׁבָטָ֣יו כּוֹשֵֽׁל

He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and not one feeble among their tribes.

שָׂמַ֣ח מִצְרַ֣יִם בְּצֵאתָ֑ם כִּֽי נָפַ֖ל פַּחְדָּ֣ם עֲלֵיהֶֽם

Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.

פָּרַ֣שׂ עָנָ֣ן לְמָסָ֑ךְ וְ֝אֵ֗שׁ לְהָאִ֥יר לָֽיְלָה

He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.

שָׁאַ֣ל וַיָּבֵ֣א שְׂלָ֑ו וְלֶ֥חֶם שָׁ֝מַ֗יִם יַשְׂבִּיעֵֽם

asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

פָּ֣תַח צ֭וּר וַיָּז֣וּבוּ מָ֑יִם הָ֝לְכ֗וּ בַּצִּיּ֥וֹת נָהָֽר

He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places a river.

כִּֽי זָ֭כַר אֶת דְּבַ֣ר קָדְשׁ֑וֹ אֶֽת אַבְרָהָ֥ם עַבְדּֽוֹ

For he remembered his holy promise, Abraham his servant.

וַיּוֹצִ֣א עַמּ֣וֹ בְשָׂשׂ֑וֹן בְּ֝רִנָּ֗ה אֶת בְּחִירָֽיו

And he brought forth his people with joy, his chosen with gladness:

וַיִּתֵּ֣ן לָ֭הֶם אַרְצ֣וֹת גּוֹיִ֑ם וַעֲמַ֖ל לְאֻמִּ֣ים יִירָֽשׁוּ

And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;

בַּעֲב֤וּר יִשְׁמְר֣וּ חֻ֭קָּיו וְתוֹרֹתָ֥יו יִנְצֹ֗רוּ הַֽלְלוּ יָֽהּ

That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise you YHWH.
