105 Give thanks to Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}, call on his name,
Make his deeds known among the peoples!
2 Sing to him, sing praises before him,
Ponder over all his wonderful works.
3 Boast about his holy name.
Let the hearts of those seeking Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} rejoice.
4 Search for Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} and his strength.
5 Remember the wonderful works he has performed,
His miracles and the judgments he has pronounced,
6 You offspring of Avraham his servant,
You sons of Yacob, his chosen ones.
7 He is Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} our Yahavah {Yah'-ha-vah'}.
His judgments are throughout the earth.
8 He remembers his covenant forever,
The promise he made, to a thousand generations,
9 The covenant he made with Avraham,
And the oath he swore to Isaac,
10 Which he established as a decree to Yacob
And as a lasting covenant to Isra'Al,
11 Saying, “I will give you the land of Caʹnaan
As your allotted inheritance.”
12 This was when they were few in number,
Yes, very few, and they were foreigners in the land.
13 They walked about from nation to nation,
From one kingdom to another people.
14 He did not allow any man to oppress them,
But on their account he reproved kings,
15 Saying, “Do not touch my anointed ones,
And to my prophets do nothing bad.”
16 He called down a famine on the land;
He cut off their supply of bread.
17 He sent ahead of them a man
Who was sold to be a slave, Joseph.
18 With fetters they bound his feet,
19 Until the time that his word proved true,
The saying of Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} is what refined him.
20 The king sent to release him,
The ruler of the peoples set him free.
21 He made him master of his household,
Ruler over all his property,
22 To have authority over his princes as he pleased
And to teach his elders wisdom.
23 Then Isra'Al came into Egypt,
And Yacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham.
24 Yahavah {Yah'-ha-vah'} made his people very fruitful;
He made them mightier than their adversaries,
25 Whose hearts he let change to hate his people,
To plot against his servants.
26 He sent his servant Moses,
And Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27 They performed his signs among them,
His miracles in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness and the land became dark;
They did not rebel against his words.
29 He changed their waters into blood
And killed their fish.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs,
Even in the royal chambers.
31 He ordered the gadflies to invade
And gnats in all their territories.
32 He turned their rain to hail
And sent lightning on their land.
33 He struck their vines and their fig trees
And shattered the trees of their territory.
34 He said that the locusts should invade,
Young locusts without number.
35 They devoured all the vegetation in the land,
And they devoured the produce of the ground.
36 Then he struck down every firstborn in their land,
The beginning of their procreative power.
37 He brought his people out with silver and gold;
And no one among his tribes stumbled.
38 Egypt rejoiced when they left,
For the dread of Isra'Al had fallen on them.
39 He spread a cloud to screen them off
And fire to give light by night.
40 They asked, and he brought quail;
He kept satisfying them with bread from heaven.
41 He opened a rock, and waters flowed out;
These flowed through the desert like a river.
42 For he remembered the holy promise he had made to Avraham his servant.
43 So he brought out his people with exultation,
His chosen ones with a joyful cry.
44 He gave them the lands of nations;
They inherited what other peoples had worked hard to produce,
45 So that they would keep his decrees
And observe his laws.
