105:1  Give thanks to Yahweh; proclaim his name; make known his deeds among the peoples.
105:2  Sing to him; sing praises concerning him; tell of all his wonderful works.
105:3  Boast about his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
105:4  Make supplication to Yahweh and his might; seek his face continually.
105:5  Remember his wonders that he has done, his signs and the judgments of his mouth,
105:6  O offspring of Abraham his servant, you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones.
105:7  He is Yahweh our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
105:8  He remembers his covenant forever, the word that he commanded for a thousand generations,
105:9  that he made with Abraham, and by his oath swore to Isaac.
105:10  He then confirmed it to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
105:11  saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan as the allotment that is your inheritance.”
105:12  When they were few in number— a trifle—and were sojourners in it,
105:13  and they wandered about among the nations, from one kingdom to another people,
105:14  he allowed no one to oppress them, and he rebuked kings on account of them,
105:15  “Do not touch my anointed ones, nor harm my prophets.”
105:16  Then he called for a famine upon the land; he broke every supply of bread.
105:17  He sent a man on ahead of them; Joseph was sold as a slave.
105:18  They clamped his feet in fetters. His neck went into irons.
105:19  Until the time his word came about, the word of Yahweh tested him.
105:20  The king sent and he freed him; the ruler of the peoples sent and let him loose.
105:21  He made him lord of his house and ruler of all his possessions,
105:22  to obligate his officials as he saw fit and teach his elders wisdom.
105:23  Then Israel came to Egypt, and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Ham.
105:24  And he made his people very fruitful. He also made them stronger than their enemies.
105:25  He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal deceitfully against his servants.
105:26  He sent his servant Moses, together with Aaron whom he had chosen.
105:27  They set before them the words concerning his signs and portents 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 it killed their fish.
105:30  Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the chambers of their kings.
105:31  He spoke, and there came flies and gnats throughout all their territory.
105:32  He gave hail for their rains and the fire of lightning in their land.
105:33  And he struck their vines and fig trees, and shattered the trees of their territory.
105:34  He spoke and there came locusts and young locusts without number.
105:35  And they ate up all the vegetation in their land, and they ate up the fruit of their ground.
105:36  And he struck down all the firstborn in their land, the first of all their virility.
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 departed, because the fear of them had fallen upon them.
105:39  He spread out a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light at night.
105:40  They asked, and he brought quail, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
105:41  He opened the rock and waters flowed; they coursed through the dry places like a river.
105:42  For he remembered his holy promise; he remembered Abraham his servant.
105:43  And so he brought out his people with joy, his chosen ones with rejoicing.
105:44  And he gave to them the lands of the nations, and they inherited the labor of the peoples,
105:45  so that they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise Yah.
