105:1  Oh give thanks to Yahweh, call upon His name; Make known His acts among the peoples.
105:2  Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Muse on all His wondrous deeds.
105:3  Boast in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh be glad.
105:4  Inquire of Yahweh and His strength; Seek His face continually.
105:5  Remember His wondrous deeds which He has done, His miracles and the judgments uttered by His mouth,
105:6  O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!
105:7  He is Yahweh our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
105:8  He has remembered His covenant forever, The word which He commanded for a thousand generations,
105:9  Which He cut with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac.
105:10  Then He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
105:11  Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan As the portion of your inheritance,”
105:12  When they were only a few men in number, Of little account, and sojourners in it.
105:13  And they wandered about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people.
105:14  He permitted no man to oppress them, And He reproved kings for their sakes:
105:15  “Do not touch My anointed ones, And to My prophets do no evil.”
105:16  And He called for a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.
105:17  He sent a man before them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
105:18  They afflicted his feet with fetters, He himself was laid in irons;
105:19  Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of Yahweh refined him.
105:20  The king sent and released him, The ruler of peoples sent and set him free.
105:21  He set him up as lord of his house And ruler over all his possessions,
105:22  To imprison his princes at will, And that he might teach his elders wisdom.
105:23  Then Israel came to Egypt; And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
105:24  And He caused His people to be very fruitful, And He caused them to be stronger than their adversaries.
105:25  He turned their heart to hate His people, To deal craftily with His slaves.
105:26  He sent Moses His servant, And Aaron, whom He had chosen.
105:27  They set forth the words of His signs among them, And miracles in the land of Ham.
105:28  He sent darkness and made it dark; And they did not rebel against His words.
105:29  He turned their waters into blood And caused their fish to die.
105:30  Their land swarmed with frogs Even in the chambers of their kings.
105:31  He spoke, and there came a swarm of flies And gnats in all their territory.
105:32  He gave them hail for rain, And flaming fire in their land.
105:33  He also struck down their vines and their fig trees, And He shattered the trees of their territory.
105:34  He spoke, and locusts came, And creeping locusts, without number,
105:35  And they ate up all vegetation in their land, And they ate up the fruit of their ground.
105:36  He also struck down all the firstborn in their land, The first of all their vigor.
105:37  Then He brought them out with silver and gold, And there was none among His tribes who stumbled.
105:38  Egypt was glad when they went out, For the dread of them had fallen upon them.
105:39  He spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to give light by night.
105:40  They asked, and He brought quail, And He satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
105:41  He opened the rock and water flowed out; It ran in the dry places like a river.
105:42  For He remembered His holy word With Abraham His servant;
105:43  And He brought His people out with joy, His chosen ones with a shout of joy.
105:44  He gave them also the lands of the nations, That they might take possession of the fruit of the peoples’ labor,
105:45  So that they might keep His statutes And observe His laws, Praise Yah!
