Psalm 105
Good News Translation
God and His People(A)
105 Give thanks to the Lord,
proclaim his greatness;
tell the nations what he has done.
2 Sing praise to the Lord;
tell the wonderful things he has done.
3 Be glad that we belong to him;
let all who worship him rejoice.
4 Go to the Lord for help;
and worship him continually.
5-6 You descendants of Abraham, his servant;
you descendants of Jacob, the man he chose:
remember the miracles that God performed
and the judgments that he gave.
7 The Lord is our God;
his commands are for all the world.
8 He will keep his covenant forever,
his promises for a thousand generations.
9 (B)He will keep the agreement he made with Abraham
and his promise to Isaac.
10 (C)The Lord made a covenant with Jacob,
one that will last forever.
11 “I will give you the land of Canaan,” he said.
“It will be your own possession.”
12 God's people were few in number,
strangers in the land of Canaan.
13 They wandered from country to country,
from one kingdom to another.
14 (D)But God let no one oppress them;
to protect them, he warned the kings:
15 “Don't harm my chosen servants;
do not touch my prophets.”
16 (E)The Lord sent famine to their country
and took away all their food.
17 (F)But he sent a man ahead of them,
Joseph, who had been sold as a slave.
18 (G)His feet were kept in chains,
and an iron collar was around his neck,
19 until what he had predicted came true.
The word of the Lord proved him right.
20 (H)Then the king of Egypt had him released;
the ruler of nations set him free.
21 (I)He put him in charge of his government
and made him ruler over all the land,
22 with power over the king's officials
and authority to instruct his advisers.
23 (J)Then Jacob went to Egypt
and settled in that country.
24 (K)The Lord gave many children to his people
and made them stronger than their enemies.
25 He made the Egyptians hate his people
and treat his servants with deceit.
26 (L)Then he sent his servant Moses,
and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27 They did God's mighty acts
and performed miracles in Egypt.
28 (M)God sent darkness on the country,
but the Egyptians did not obey[a] his command.
29 (N)He turned their rivers into blood
and killed all their fish.
30 (O)Their country was overrun with frogs;
even the palace was filled with them.
31 (P)God commanded, and flies and gnats
swarmed throughout the whole country.
32 (Q)He sent hail and lightning on their land
instead of rain;
33 he destroyed their grapevines and fig trees
and broke down all the trees.
34 (R)He commanded, and the locusts came,
countless millions of them;
35 they ate all the plants in the land;
they ate all the crops.
36 (S)He killed the first-born sons
of all the families of Egypt.
37 (T)Then he led the Israelites out;
they carried silver and gold,
and all of them were healthy and strong.
38 The Egyptians were afraid of them
and were glad when they left.
39 (U)God put a cloud over his people
and a fire at night to give them light.
40 (V)They[b] asked, and he sent quails;
he gave them food from heaven to satisfy them.
41 (W)He opened a rock, and water gushed out,
flowing through the desert like a river.
42 He remembered his sacred promise
to Abraham his servant.
43 So he led his chosen people out,
and they sang and shouted for joy.
44 (X)He gave them the lands of other peoples
and let them take over their fields,
45 so that his people would obey his laws
and keep all his commands.
Praise the Lord!

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)

Indeed very few, (L)and strangers in it.
13 When they went from one nation to another,
From one kingdom to another people,

Young locusts without number,
35 And ate up all the vegetation in their land,
And devoured the fruit of their ground.

(AJ)The first of all their strength.
37 (AK)He also brought them out with silver and gold,
And there was none feeble among His tribes.

For the fear of them had fallen upon them.

And fire to give light in the night.

And (AO)satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

It ran in the dry places like a river.

And Abraham His servant.
43 He brought out His people with joy,
His chosen ones with [d]gladness.
44 (AR)He gave them the lands of the [e]Gentiles,
And they inherited the labor of the nations,
45 (AS)That they might observe His statutes
And keep His laws.

Swedish New Living Bible (Nya Levande Bibeln)
Gud och hans folk
105 Tacka Herren för allt gott han gör. Tala om det för alla folk.
2 Sjung lovsånger om honom och berätta om hans under.
3 Gläd er i Herren, ni som tillhör honom. Gläd er!
4 Vänd er till honom och räkna med hans kraft. Var uthålliga!
5-6 Tänk på vad han i sin makt har gjort för oss, som är ättlingar till hans tjänare Abraham, till Jakob, hans utvalde. Kom ihåg hur han dömde våra fiender. Han är Herren, vår Gud.
7 Överallt i hela världen är det han som har sista ordet.
8-9 Skulle tusen generationer komma och gå, så skulle han ändå aldrig glömma sitt löfte, det förbund som han slöt redan med Abraham och Isak,
10-11 och som han bekräftade med Jakob. Och detta är mitt förbund med Israels folk som kommer att vara för alltid: Jag ska ge er Kanaans land till att vara er egendom.
12 Han lovade detta medan de ännu var mycket få till antalet, och alltjämt levde som främlingar i Kanaan.
13 De var på den tiden spridda bland andra folk och vandrade från rike till rike.
14 Men Gud tillät inte någon att förtrycka dem, och han utplånade många kungar som försökte anfalla dem!
15 Rör inte mina utvalda, skada inte mina profeter, varnade han.
16 Han sände hungersnöd över Kanaans land och förråden av säd och bröd tog snabbt slut.
17 Men Gud hade redan i förväg sänt Josef till Egypten, dit han såldes som slav.
18 I fängelset satte man bojor på hans fötter och en järnring runt hans hals.
19 Där fick han sitta tills den dag han uttydde sina medfångars drömmar, och allt det som han sagt inträffade. Guds ord gav honom rätt.
20 Då sände kungen äntligen bud efter honom och befriade honom.
21 Josef utnämndes till regeringschef och fick också förvalta kungens hela förmögenhet.
22 Alla höga tjänstemän var underställda honom och kungens rådgivare fick lära sig vishet av honom.
23 Sedan kom Jakob till Egypten och bodde där tillsammans med sina söner.
24 Under åren som följde förökade Gud sitt folk, ja, tills de slutligen blev mäktigare än sina fiender.
25 Därefter såg Gud till så att egyptierna började hata israeliterna och behandla dem illa.
26 Då sände Gud sina tjänare Mose och Aron,
27 för att de skulle utföra under och tecken i hela Egypten.
28 De gjorde som Gud befallt, och han lät ett tjockt mörker breda ut sig över hela landet.
29 Han förvandlade vattnet i deras floder till blod och förgiftade alla fiskar.
30 Därefter översvämmades landet av grodor, ja, till och med i kungens privata palats trängde grodorna in.
31 Och då Gud talade genom Mose, drog svärmar av flugor och andra insekter fram över hela landet,
32 och när egyptierna väntade på regn sände Gud hagel, och blixtar som plågade folket.
33 Deras vinträd och fikonträd förstördes, och alla träd vräktes omkull och låg kringspridda på marken.
34 På Guds befallning kom gräshoppssvärmar och
35 åt upp allt grönt och förstörde skörden.
36 Slutligen dödade Herren den äldste sonen i varje egyptiskt hem.
37 Sedan ledde han sitt folk tryggt ut ur Egypten och de förde med sig mängder av silver och guld, och det fanns inte en enda en bland dem som var sjuk, utan alla var friska.
38 Egyptierna var rädda för dem och var glada när de lämnade landet.
39 För att skydda dem från den heta solen satte Gud ett moln över sitt folk, och han gav dem en eldpelare om natten för att de skulle få ljus.
40 De bad om kött, och han sände fåglar in i deras läger. Och han lät dem äta manna, brödet från himlen, för att de skulle bli mätta.
41 Han öppnade en klippa, och vattnet forsade fram. Det flöt som en flod genom det torra, ödsliga landet -
42 för Gud håller sitt ord, och han kom ihåg sina heliga löften till sin tjänare Abraham.
43 På så sätt ledde han under sång och jubel sina utvalda in i det utlovade landet.
44 Han gav dem det land som tillhört andra folk. De fick skörda och äta vad andra hade planterat.
45 Alla dessa under lät han sitt folk uppleva för att de skulle lyda honom och hålla hans bud. Halleluja!
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.
