Psalm 105

O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name:
make known his deeds among the people.
Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him:
talk ye of all his wondrous works.
Glory ye in his holy name:
let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
Seek the Lord, and his strength:
seek his face evermore.
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done;
his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
O ye seed of Abraham his servant,
ye children of Jacob his chosen.

He is the Lord our God:
his judgments are in all the earth.
He hath remembered his covenant for ever,
the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
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.

(I)The covenant which He made with Abraham,
And His oath to Isaac,
10 And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,

12 (K)When they were few in number,
Indeed very few, (L)and strangers in it.

13 When they went from one nation to another,
From one kingdom to another people,
14 (M)He permitted no one to do them wrong;
Yes, (N)He rebuked kings for their sakes,
15 Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones,
And do My prophets no harm.”

16 Moreover (O)He called for a famine in the land;
He destroyed all the (P)provision of bread.
17 (Q)He sent a man before them—
Joseph—who (R)was sold as a slave.
18 (S)They hurt his feet with fetters,
[a]He was laid in irons.

And Aaron whom He had chosen.
27 They (AB)performed His signs among them,
And wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark;
And they did not rebel against His word.
29 (AC)He turned their waters into blood,
And killed their fish.
30 (AD)Their land abounded with frogs,
Even in the chambers of their kings.
31 (AE)He spoke, and there came swarms of flies,
And lice in all their territory.
32 (AF)He gave them hail for rain,
And flaming fire in their land.
33 (AG)He struck their vines also, and their fig trees,
And splintered the trees of their territory.
34 (AH)He spoke, and locusts came,
Young locusts without number,
35 And ate up all the vegetation in their land,
And devoured the fruit of their ground.
36 (AI)He also [c]destroyed all the firstborn in their land,
(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.
38 (AL)Egypt was glad when they departed,
For the fear of them had fallen upon them.
39 (AM)He spread a cloud for a covering,
And fire to give light in the night.
40 (AN)The people asked, and He brought quail,
And (AO)satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 (AP)He opened the rock, and water gushed out;
It ran in the dry places like a river.

42 For He remembered (AQ)His holy promise,
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.

[f]Praise the Lord!

Psalm 105(A)

Oh, give thanks unto the Lord; call upon His name;
    make known His deeds among the peoples.
Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him;
    proclaim all His wondrous works.
Glory in His holy name;
    let the heart rejoice for those who seek the Lord.
Seek the Lord and His strength;
    seek His presence continuously.

Remember His marvelous works that He has done;
    His wonders and the judgments from His mouth,
O offspring of Abraham, His servant,
    O children of Jacob, His chosen ones.
He is the Lord our God;
    His judgments are in all the earth.

He remembers His covenant forever,
    the word that He commanded, to a thousand generations,
that covenant He made with Abraham,
    and His oath to Isaac,
10 and confirmed to Jacob as a decree,
    and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
11 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan
    as the portion of your inheritance.”

12 When they were but a few people in number,
    indeed, very few, and strangers in it,
13 when they went from one nation to another,
    from one kingdom to another people,
14 He did not permit anyone to do them wrong;
    indeed, He reproved kings on their behalf,
15 saying, “Do not touch my anointed ones,
    and do no harm to my prophets.”

16 Moreover He called for a famine upon the land;
    He broke the whole supply of bread.
17 He sent a man before them,
    Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18 They hurt his feet with fetters;
    his neck was put in an iron collar.
19 Until the time that his word came to pass,
    the word of the Lord tested him.
20 The king sent and released him;
    the ruler of the people let him go free.
21 He made Joseph lord of his house
    and ruler of all his possessions,
22 to imprison his princes at Joseph’s pleasure
    and to teach his elders wisdom.

23 Then Israel came into Egypt,
    and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 The Lord increased His people greatly
    and made them stronger than their enemies.
25 He turned their hearts to hate His people,
    to deal cleverly with His servants.
26 He sent Moses, His servant,
    and Aaron whom He had chosen.
27 They showed His signs among them
    and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness and made the land dark,
    and Moses and Aaron did not rebel against His word.
29 He turned their waters into blood
    and caused their fish to die.
30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance,
    even in the chambers of their kings.
31 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies
    and gnats in all their country.
32 He gave them hail for rain
    and flaming lightning in their land.
33 He struck their vines and their fig trees
    and shattered the trees of their country.
34 He spoke, and the locusts came,
    and caterpillars without number,
35 that devoured all the vegetation in their land,
    and ate all the fruit of their ground.
36 He struck down all the firstborn in their land,
    the first fruits of all their strength.
37 Then He brought them out with silver and gold,
    and no one among their tribes faltered.
38 Egypt was glad when they left,
    for the fear of Israel 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 quail,
    and satisfied them with abundant bread of heaven.
41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out;
    they ran in the desert like a river.

42 For he recalled His holy promise
    to Abraham His servant.
43 He brought forth His people with joy,
    and His chosen ones with gladness,
44 and gave them the lands of the nations,
    and they took possession of the fruitful labor of the people,
45 that they might observe His statutes
    and keep His laws.

Praise the Lord!

Maravillas del Señor a favor de Israel(A)

105 ¡Alaben al Señor, invoquen su nombre!
¡Que los pueblos reconozcan sus obras!
¡Canten, sí, cántenle salmos!
¡Proclamen todas sus maravillas!
¡Regocíjense en su santo nombre!
¡Alégrense de corazón los que buscan al Señor!
¡Busquen el poder del Señor!
¡Busquen siempre a Dios!
¡Recuerden sus grandes maravillas,
sus hechos prodigiosos y sus sabias sentencias!
Ustedes son los descendientes de Abrahán;
ustedes son los hijos de Jacob, sus escogidos.

El Señor es nuestro Dios;
en toda la tierra prevalecen sus juicios.
Nunca se olvida de su pacto,
de la palabra que dictó para mil generaciones.
Fue un acuerdo que hizo con Abrahán,(B)
y que lo confirmó con Isaac.(C)
10 Con Jacob lo estableció como decreto;
con Israel lo hizo un pacto duradero
11 cuando dijo: «Te daré la tierra de Canaán
como la herencia que te corresponde.»(D)

12 Ellos no eran numerosos;
eran unos simples forasteros.
13 Andaban de nación en nación,
y de un reino a otro reino;
14 pero Dios no dejó que fueran agraviados,
sino que por ellos castigó a los reyes
15 y dijo: «¡No toquen a mis ungidos!
¡No les hagan daño a mis profetas!»(E)

16 Dios hizo que hubiera hambre en la tierra,
y el trigo para el pan quedó destruido.(F)
17 Pero antes envió a uno de sus hombres;
envió a José, que fue vendido como esclavo.(G)
18 Los egipcios le pusieron grilletes en los pies,
y lo arrojaron tras los hierros de la cárcel.
19 Pero finalmente se cumplieron sus dichos,
aunque la palabra de Dios lo puso a prueba.(H)
20 El rey ordenó que le abrieran la cárcel;
el señor que gobierna los pueblos lo liberó.(I)
21 Lo nombró señor de su casa
y lo puso a cargo de sus posesiones.(J)
22 Le dio poder para frenar a los grandes,
y sabiduría para enseñar a los sabios.

23 Fue así como Israel llegó a Egipto,(K)
como Jacob llegó a vivir en la tierra de Cam.(L)
24 Pero el pueblo aumentó en número
y se hizo más fuerte que los egipcios.
25 El corazón de los egipcios se llenó de odio,
y decidieron hacerle mal a su pueblo.(M)

26 Pero Dios envió a su siervo Moisés,
lo mismo que a Aarón, su escogido.(N)
27 Dios les dio el poder de hacer señales,
y de realizar prodigios en la tierra de Cam.
28 Dejó caer sobre Egipto densa oscuridad,(O)
pero los egipcios no acataron su palabra.
29 Convirtió las aguas en sangre,
y todos los peces murieron.(P)
30 Vinieron entonces muchísimas ranas,
que infestaron las cámaras reales.(Q)
31 Dios habló, y vinieron enjambres de moscas,(R)
y las casas se inundaron de piojos.(S)
32 Dios dejó caer granizo como lluvia,
y rayos de fuego rasgaron la tierra.
33 Destrozó los viñedos, secó las higueras,
y desgajó los árboles de su país.(T)

34 Dios habló otra vez, y vinieron langostas,
y como plaga llegó el pulgón,
35 y se comió la hierba del país
y acabó(U) con los frutos de su tierra.
36 Hirió de muerte a todos sus primogénitos,
a las primicias de su fuerza varonil.(V)

37 Su pueblo salió cargado de oro y plata;
en sus tribus no había un solo enfermo.
38 Cuando el pueblo salió, los egipcios se alegraron,
pues ante ellos sentían un profundo terror.(W)
39 En el desierto los cubría una nube,
y un fuego los alumbraba de noche.(X)
40 Pidieron comida, y Dios les mandó codornices;
sació su hambre con el pan que cayó del cielo.(Y)
41 Dios partió la peña, y fluyeron aguas
que corrieron como ríos por el desierto.(Z)
42 Dios se acordó de su santa palabra,
y de su juramento a Abrahán, su siervo.

43 Su pueblo salió con gran gozo;
sus elegidos salieron con gran júbilo.
44 Dios les dio las tierras de otras naciones,(AA)
lo mismo que los frutos de esos pueblos,
45 para que obedecieran sus preceptos
y cumplieran todos sus mandatos.
¡Aleluya!

Jehovah’s wonderful works in behalf of Israel.

105 Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name;
Make known among the peoples his doings.
Sing unto him, sing praises unto him;
[a]Talk ye of all his marvellous works.
Glory ye in his holy name:
Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
Seek ye Jehovah and his strength;
Seek his face evermore.
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done,
His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
O ye seed of Abraham his servant,
Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
He is Jehovah our God:
His judgments are in all the earth.
He hath remembered his covenant for ever,
The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
The covenant which he made with Abraham,
And his oath unto Isaac,
10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute,
To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,
The [b]lot of your inheritance;
12 When they were but a few men in number,
Yea, very few, and sojourners in it.
13 And they went about from nation to nation,
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 ones,
And do my prophets no harm.
16 And he called for a famine upon the land;
He brake the whole staff of bread.
17 He sent a man before them;
Joseph was sold for a servant:
18 His feet they hurt with fetters:
[c]He was laid in chains of iron,
19 Until the time that his word came to pass,
The word of Jehovah tried him.
20 The king sent and loosed him;
Even the ruler of peoples, 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 elders 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 adversaries.
25 He turned their heart to hate his people,
To deal subtly with his servants.
26 He sent Moses his servant,
And Aaron whom he had chosen.
27 They set among them [d]his signs,
And wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark;
And they rebelled not against his words.
29 He turned their waters into blood,
And slew their fish.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs
In the chambers of their kings.
31 He spake, and there came swarms of flies,
And lice in all their borders.
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 borders.
34 He spake, and the locust came,
And the grasshopper, and that without number,
35 And did eat up every herb in their land,
And did eat up the fruit of their ground.
36 He smote also all the first-born in their land,
The [e]chief of all their strength.
37 And he brought them forth with silver and gold;
And there was [f]not one feeble person among his tribes.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed;
For the fear of them had fallen upon them.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering,
And fire to give light in the night.
40 They asked, and he brought quails,
And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out;
They ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For he remembered his holy word,
And Abraham his servant.
43 And he brought forth his people with joy,
And his chosen with singing.
44 And he gave them the lands of the nations;
And they took the labor of the peoples in possession:
45 That they might keep his statutes,
And observe his laws.
[g]Praise ye Jehovah.
