105:001

O give thanks unto HaShem, call upon His name; make known His doings among the peoples.

105:002

Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; speak ye of all His marvellous works.

105:003

Glory ye in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek HaShem.

105:004

Seek ye HaShem and His strength; seek His face continually.

105:005

Remember His marvellous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth;

105:006

O ye seed of Abraham His servant, ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones.

105:007

He is HaShem our G-d; His judgments are in all the earth.

105:008

He hath remembered His covenant for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations;

105:009

The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath unto Isaac;

105:010

And He established it unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant;

105:011

Saying: 'Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.'

105:012

When they were but a few men in number. Yea, very few, and sojourners in it,

105:013

And when they went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,

105:014

He suffered no man to do them wrong, yea, for their sake He reproved kings:

105:015

'Touch not Mine anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.'

105:016

And He called a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.

105:017

He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant;

105:018

His feet they hurt with fetters, his person was laid in iron;

105:019

Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of HaShem tested him.

105:020

The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the peoples, and set him free.

105:021

He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his possessions;

105:022

To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom.

105:023

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

105:024

And He increased His people greatly, and made them too mighty for their adversaries.

105:025

He turned their heart to hate His people, to deal craftily with His servants.

105:026

He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron whom He had chosen.

105:027

They wrought among them His manifold signs, and wonders in the land of Ham.

105:028

He sent darkness, and it was dark; and they rebelled not against His word.

105:029

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

105:030

Their land swarmed with frogs, in the chambers of their kings.

105:031

He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats in all their borders.

105:032

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

105:033

He smote their vines also and their fig-trees; and broke the trees of their borders.

105:034

He spoke, and the locust came, and the canker-worm without number,

105:035

And did eat up every herb in their land, and did eat up the fruit of their ground.

105:036

He smote also all the first-born in their land, the first-fruits of all their strength.

105:037

And He brought them forth with silver and gold; and there was none that stumbled among His tribes.

105:038

Egypt was glad when they departed; for the fear of them had fallen upon them.

105:039

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

105:040

They asked, and He brought quails, and gave them in plenty the bread of heaven.

105:041

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

105:042

For He remembered His holy word unto Abraham His servant;

105:043

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

105:044

And He gave them the lands of the nations, and they took the labour of the peoples in possession;

105:045

That they might keep His statutes, and observe His laws. Hallelujah.
