Psalm 105:25-45

Complete Jewish Bible

²⁶ He sent his servant Moshe
and Aharon, whom he had chosen.
²⁷ They worked his signs among them,
his wonders in the land of Ham.

²⁸ He sent darkness, and the land grew dark;
they did not defy his word.

²⁹ He turned their water into blood
and caused their fish to die.

³⁰ Their land swarmed with frogs,
even in the royal chambers.

³¹ He spoke, and there came swarms of insects
and lice throughout their land.

³² He gave them hail instead of rain,
with fiery [lightning] throughout their land.
³³ He struck their vines and fig trees,
shattering trees all over their country.

³⁴ He spoke, and locusts came,
also grasshoppers without number;
³⁵ they ate up everything green in their land,
devoured the fruit of their ground.
³⁶ He struck down all the firstborn in their land,
the firstfruits of all their strength.

³⁷ Then he led his people out,
laden with silver and gold;
among his tribes not one stumbled.
³⁸ Egypt was happy to have them leave,
because fear of [Isra’el] had seized them.

³⁹ He spread out a cloud to screen them off
and fire to give them light at night.
⁴⁰ When they asked, he brought them quails
and satisfied them with food from heaven.

⁴¹ He split a rock, and water gushed out,
flowing as a river over the dry ground,
⁴² for he remembered his holy promise
to his servant Avraham.

⁴³ He led out his people with joy,
his chosen ones with singing.
⁴⁴ Then he gave them the lands of the nations,
and they possessed what peoples had toiled to produce,
⁴⁵ in order to obey his laws
and follow his teachings.

Halleluyah!
