Psalm 105
God’s Faithfulness to His People
1 Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name;
proclaim his deeds among the peoples.(A)
2 Sing to him, sing praise to him;
tell about all his wondrous works!(B)
3 Boast in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.(C)
4 Seek the Lord and his strength;
seek his face always.(D)
5 Remember the wondrous works he has done,
his wonders, and the judgments he has pronounced,[a](E)
6 you offspring of Abraham his servant,
Jacob’s descendants—his chosen ones.(F)
7 He is the Lord our God;
his judgments govern the whole earth.(G)
8 He remembers his covenant forever,
the promise he ordained
for a thousand generations(H)—
9 the covenant he made with Abraham,
swore[b] to Isaac,(I)
10 and confirmed to Jacob as a decree
and to Israel as a permanent covenant:(J)
11 “I will give the land of Canaan to you
as your inherited portion.”(K)
12 When they were few in number,
very few indeed,
and resident aliens in Canaan,(L)
13 wandering from nation to nation
and from one kingdom to another,(M)
14 he allowed no one to oppress them;
he rebuked kings on their behalf:(N)
15 “Do not touch my anointed ones,(O)
or harm my prophets.”(P)
16 He called down famine against the land
and destroyed the entire food supply.(Q)
17 He had sent a man ahead of them—
Joseph, who was sold as a slave.(R)
18 They hurt his feet with shackles;
his neck was put in an iron collar.(S)
19 Until the time his prediction came true,
the word of the Lord tested him.(T)
20 The king sent for him and released him;
the ruler of peoples set him free.(U)
21 He made him master of his household,
ruler over all his possessions(V)—
22 binding[c] his officials at will
and instructing his elders.(W)
23 Then Israel went to Egypt;
Jacob lived as an alien in the land of Ham.[d](X)
24 The Lord[e] made his people very fruitful;
he made them more numerous than their foes,(Y)
25 whose hearts he turned to hate his people
and to deal deceptively with his servants.(Z)
26 He sent Moses his servant,
and Aaron, whom he had chosen.(AA)
27 They performed his miraculous signs among them
and wonders in the land of Ham.(AB)
28 He sent darkness, and it became dark—
for did they not defy his commands?(AC)
29 He turned their water into blood
and caused their fish to die.(AD)
30 Their land was overrun with frogs,
even in their royal chambers.(AE)
31 He spoke, and insects came(AF)—
gnats throughout their country.(AG)
32 He gave them hail for rain,
and lightning throughout their land.(AH)
33 He struck their vines and fig trees
and shattered the trees of their territory.(AI)
34 He spoke, and locusts came—
young locusts without number.
35 They devoured all the vegetation in their land
and consumed the produce of their land.(AJ)
36 He struck all the firstborn in their land,
all their first progeny.(AK)
37 Then he brought Israel out with silver and gold,
and no one among his tribes stumbled.(AL)
38 Egypt was glad when they left,
for the dread of Israel[f] had fallen on them.(AM)
39 He spread a cloud as a covering
and gave a fire to light up the night.(AN)
40 They asked, and he brought quail
and satisfied them with bread from heaven.(AO)
41 He opened a rock, and water gushed out;
it flowed like a stream in the desert.(AP)
42 For he remembered his holy promise
to Abraham his servant.(AQ)
43 He brought his people out with rejoicing,
his chosen ones with shouts of joy.(AR)
44 He gave them the lands of the nations,
and they inherited
what other peoples had worked for.(AS)
45 All this happened
so that they might keep his statutes
and obey his instructions.(AT)
Hallelujah!

Dieu est fidèle[a]
105 Louez l’Eternel, ╵et faites appel à lui !
Publiez parmi les peuples ╵ses hauts faits !
2 Chantez à sa gloire, ╵et célébrez-le ╵en musique !
Racontez sans cesse ╵toutes ses merveilles !
3 Soyez fiers de lui, ╵car il est très saint !
Que le cœur de ceux ╵qui sont attachés à l’Eternel ╵soit rempli de joie !
4 Tournez-vous vers l’Eternel ! ╵Faites appel à sa force !
Aspirez à vivre ╵constamment en sa présence !
5 Souvenez-vous des merveilles ╵qu’il a accomplies !
Rappelez-vous ses prodiges ╵et les jugements ╵qu’il a prononcés,
6 vous, les descendants ╵d’Abraham, son serviteur,
vous, descendants de Jacob, ╵vous qu’il a choisis !
7 Notre Dieu, c’est l’Eternel,
sur toute la terre ╵s’exercent ses jugements.
8 Il se souvient pour toujours ╵de son alliance,
de ce qu’il a donné sa parole ╵pour mille générations[b] :
9 il a conclu un traité ╵avec Abraham,
et l’a confirmé ╵par serment à Isaac[c].
10 Il l’a confirmé ╵à Jacob ╵en en faisant une loi,
et, pour Israël, ╵une alliance pour toujours.
11 Il a déclaré : ╵« Je te donnerai ╵le pays de Canaan,
ce sera la part ╵que vous allez posséder[d]. »
12 Ils n’étaient alors ╵qu’un très petit nombre,
une poignée d’immigrants[e],
13 allant çà et là, ╵d’une peuplade à une autre,
d’un royaume vers un autre peuple.
14 Mais Dieu ne laissa personne ╵les persécuter ;
il réprimanda des rois à leur sujet :
15 « Ne maltraitez pas ╵ceux qui me sont consacrés
et ne faites pas de mal ╵à ceux qui sont mes prophètes[f] ! »
16 Il fit venir la famine ╵sur tout le pays,
les privant de pain[g].
17 Il envoya devant eux un homme :
Joseph, vendu comme esclave[h].
18 On chargea ses pieds de chaînes,
son cou d’un carcan de fer[i]
19 jusqu’au jour où s’accomplit ╵ce que Joseph avait annoncé.
Alors la parole ╵prononcée par l’Eternel ╵montra qu’il avait raison[j] :
20 le roi ordonna ╵de le délier ;
le dominateur des peuples ╵le fit relâcher[k]
21 et il l’établit seigneur sur son royaume,
il le nomma gouverneur ╵de tous ses domaines[l]
22 pour donner ses instructions à ses ministres ╵comme il le jugerait bon,
pour enseigner la sagesse ╵à ses conseillers.
23 Puis Israël se rendit ╵en Egypte,
Jacob émigra ╵au pays de Cham[m].
24 Dieu rendit son peuple ╵très fécond,
plus puissant ╵que ses ennemis.
25 Il changea les dispositions de ceux-ci, ╵qui se mirent à haïr son peuple,
à préparer le malheur ╵de ses serviteurs[n].
26 Alors il leur envoya ╵Moïse, son serviteur,
Aaron qu’il avait choisi[o].
27 En Egypte, ils accomplirent ╵sur son ordre des miracles
et de grands prodiges ╵au pays de Cham.
28 Il envoya les ténèbres ╵qui couvrirent le pays[p],
et les Egyptiens cessèrent ╵de résister à ses ordres[q].
29 Il changea leurs eaux en sang
et fit mourir leurs poissons[r].
30 Il fit grouiller de grenouilles ╵le pays entier
jusqu’aux chambres de leur roi[s].
31 Sur un ordre de sa part, ╵parurent des mouches venimeuses,
les moustiques envahirent ╵le pays entier[t].
32 Au lieu de la pluie, ╵il leur envoya la grêle
et il fit tomber la foudre ╵sur tout leur pays.
33 Il frappa ╵leurs vignes et leurs figuiers
et brisa les arbres ╵de leur territoire[u].
34 Sur un ordre de sa part, ╵d’innombrables sauterelles
et des criquets arrivèrent
35 pour dévorer toute l’herbe ╵à travers tout le pays,
et tous les produits ╵de leur terre[v].
36 Puis il fit mourir ╵tous les fils aînés dans leur pays,
premiers fruits de leur vigueur virile[w],
37 et il fit sortir les siens ╵avec de l’argent, de l’or[x],
sans qu’aucun trébuche ╵parmi ses tribus.
38 Les Egyptiens se réjouirent ╵de les voir partir,
car devant ce peuple, ╵ils étaient terrorisés[y].
39 Il étendit la nuée ╵comme un rideau protecteur,
et il fit briller un feu ╵pour les éclairer la nuit[z].
40 Parce qu’ils le demandèrent, ╵il leur envoya des cailles
et les rassasia ╵du pain qui venait du ciel[aa].
41 Il fendit la roche, ╵et l’eau en jaillit.
A travers la steppe aride, ╵elle coula comme un fleuve[ab],
42 car il se souvint ╵d’Abraham, son serviteur,
et de la promesse sainte ╵qu’il lui avait faite[ac].
43 Il fit sortir du pays ╵son peuple dans l’allégresse
et ceux qu’il avait choisis ╵avec des cris de triomphe.
44 Il leur a donné les terres ╵occupées par d’autres peuples
et les a fait profiter ╵du travail que ces populations ╵avaient accompli[ad],
45 pour qu’ils obéissent ╵à ce qu’il avait prescrit
et qu’ils respectent ses lois.
Louez l’Eternel !

Psalm 105
New International Version
Psalm 105
New International Version
Psalm 105(A)
1 Give praise to the Lord,(B) proclaim his name;(C)
make known among the nations what he has done.
2 Sing to him,(D) sing praise to him;(E)
tell of all his wonderful acts.(F)
3 Glory in his holy name;(G)
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
4 Look to the Lord and his strength;
seek his face(H) always.
5 Remember the wonders(I) he has done,
his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,(J)
6 you his servants, the descendants of Abraham,(K)
his chosen(L) ones, the children of Jacob.
7 He is the Lord our God;
his judgments are in all the earth.
8 He remembers his covenant(M) forever,
the promise he made, for a thousand generations,
9 the covenant he made with Abraham,(N)
the oath he swore to Isaac.
10 He confirmed it(O) to Jacob as a decree,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant:(P)
11 “To you I will give the land of Canaan(Q)
as the portion you will inherit.”(R)
12 When they were but few in number,(S)
few indeed, and strangers in it,(T)
13 they wandered from nation to nation,(U)
from one kingdom to another.
14 He allowed no one to oppress(V) them;
for their sake he rebuked kings:(W)
15 “Do not touch(X) my anointed ones;
do my prophets(Y) no harm.”
16 He called down famine(Z) on the land
and destroyed all their supplies of food;
17 and he sent a man before them—
Joseph, sold as a slave.(AA)
18 They bruised his feet with shackles,(AB)
his neck was put in irons,
19 till what he foretold(AC) came to pass,
till the word(AD) of the Lord proved him true.
20 The king sent and released him,
the ruler of peoples set him free.(AE)
21 He made him master of his household,
ruler over all he possessed,
22 to instruct his princes(AF) as he pleased
and teach his elders wisdom.(AG)
23 Then Israel entered Egypt;(AH)
Jacob resided(AI) as a foreigner in the land of Ham.(AJ)
24 The Lord made his people very fruitful;
he made them too numerous(AK) for their foes,
25 whose hearts he turned(AL) to hate his people,
to conspire(AM) against his servants.
26 He sent Moses(AN) his servant,
and Aaron,(AO) whom he had chosen.(AP)
27 They performed(AQ) his signs(AR) among them,
his wonders(AS) in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness(AT) and made the land dark—
for had they not rebelled against(AU) his words?
29 He turned their waters into blood,(AV)
causing their fish to die.(AW)
30 Their land teemed with frogs,(AX)
which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.
31 He spoke,(AY) and there came swarms of flies,(AZ)
and gnats(BA) throughout their country.
32 He turned their rain into hail,(BB)
with lightning throughout their land;
33 he struck down their vines(BC) and fig trees(BD)
and shattered the trees of their country.
34 He spoke,(BE) and the locusts came,(BF)
grasshoppers(BG) without number;(BH)
35 they ate up every green thing in their land,
ate up the produce of their soil.
36 Then he struck down all the firstborn(BI) in their land,
the firstfruits of all their manhood.
37 He brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold,(BJ)
and from among their tribes no one faltered.
38 Egypt was glad when they left,
because dread of Israel(BK) had fallen on them.
39 He spread out a cloud(BL) as a covering,
and a fire to give light at night.(BM)
40 They asked,(BN) and he brought them quail;(BO)
he fed them well with the bread of heaven.(BP)
41 He opened the rock,(BQ) and water gushed out;
it flowed like a river in the desert.
42 For he remembered his holy promise(BR)
given to his servant Abraham.
43 He brought out his people with rejoicing,(BS)
his chosen ones with shouts of joy;
44 he gave them the lands of the nations,(BT)
and they fell heir to what others had toiled(BU) for—
45 that they might keep his precepts
and observe his laws.(BV)

Psalm 105
King James Version
Psalm 105
King James Version
105 O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
4 Seek the Lord, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
7 He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
9 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
12 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
13 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;
14 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the Lord tried him.
20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
26 He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.
27 They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.
31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.
32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.
34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,
35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
40 The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:
44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;
45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the Lord.
