PSALM 105

Gottes Treue zu Israel

105 Danket dem Herrn, ruft seinen Namen an,
macht unter den Völkern seine Taten bekannt!
Singet vor ihm, spielet vor ihm,
redet von allen seinen Wundern!
Rühmet euch seines heiligen Namens!
Es freue sich das Herz derer, die den Herrn suchen!
Fragt nach dem Herrn und nach seiner Macht,
suchet sein Angesicht allezeit!
Gedenket seiner Wunder, die er getan,
seiner Zeichen und der Urteile seines Mundes!
O Same Abrahams, seines Knechtes,
o ihr Söhne Jakobs, seine Auserkorenen!
Er, der Herr, ist unser Gott;
auf der ganzen Erde gilt sein Recht.
Er gedenkt auf ewig an seinen Bund,
an das Wort, das er tausend Geschlechtern befohlen hat;
[des Bundes,] den er mit Abraham geschlossen,
seines Eides, den er Isaak geschworen hat.
10 Er stellte ihn auf für Jakob als Satzung,
für Israel als ewigen Bund,
11 da er sprach: „Dir gebe ich das Land Kanaan
als euer Erbteil,
12 da sie noch leicht zu zählen waren,
gar wenige und Fremdlinge darin,
13 und wandern mußten von einem Volk zum andern
und von einem Königreich zum andern.
14 Er ließ sie von keinem Menschen bedrücken
und züchtigte Könige um ihretwillen:
15 „Tastet meine Gesalbten nicht an
und tut meinen Propheten kein Leid!“
16 Und er rief eine Hungersnot herbei über das Land
und zerschlug jegliche Stütze[a] an Brot.
17 Er sandte einen Mann vor ihnen her,
Joseph ward zum Sklaven verkauft!
18 Sie zwangen seinen Fuß in einen Stock;
seine Seele geriet in Fesseln;
19 bis zur Zeit, da sein Wort eintraf
und der Ausspruch des Herrn ihn geläutert hatte.
20 Der König sandte hin und befreite ihn;
der die Völker beherrschte, ließ ihn los.
21 Er setzte ihn zum Herrn über sein Haus
und zum Herrscher über alle seine Güter,
22 daß er seine Fürsten nach Belieben binde
und seine Ältesten unterweise.
23 Da zog Israel nach Ägypten,
und Jakob wurde ein Fremdling im Lande Hams[b].
24 Und er machte sein Volk sehr fruchtbar
und ließ es zahlreicher werden als seine Dränger.
25 Er wandte ihr Herz, sein Volk zu hassen,
arglistig zu handeln an seinen Knechten.
26 Er sandte Mose, seinen Knecht,
Aaron, den er erwählt hatte.
27 Die verrichteten seine Zeichen unter ihnen
und taten Wunder im Lande Hams.
28 Er sandte Finsternis, und es ward Nacht,
damit sie seinen Worten nicht widerstreben möchten.
29 Er verwandelte ihre Gewässer in Blut
und tötete ihre Fische;
30 ihr Land wimmelte von Fröschen
bis in die Gemächer ihrer Könige.
31 Er sprach; und es kamen Fliegenschwärme,
Mücken in alle ihre Grenzen.
32 Er gab ihnen Hagel statt Regen,
Feuerflammen auf ihr Land;
33 und er schlug ihre Weinstöcke und Feigenbäume
und zerbrach die Bäume in ihrem Land.
34 Er sprach; da kamen Heuschrecken
und Käfer ohne Zahl,
35 die fraßen alles Kraut im Lande
und verzehrten ihre Feldfrüchte.
36 Und er schlug alle Erstgeburt in ihrem Lande,
alle Erstlinge ihrer Kraft.
37 Aber sie ließ er ausziehen mit Silber und Gold,
und es war kein Strauchelnder unter ihren Stämmen.
38 Ägypten war froh, daß sie gingen;
denn der Schrecken vor ihnen war auf sie gefallen.
39 Er breitete vor ihnen eine Wolke aus zur Decke
und Feuer, um die Nacht zu erleuchten.
40 Sie forderten; da ließ er Wachteln kommen
und sättigte sie mit Himmelsbrot.
41 Er öffnete den Felsen; da floß Wasser heraus;
es floß ein Bach in der Wüste.
42 Denn er gedachte an sein heiliges Wort,
an Abraham, seinen Knecht.
43 Er ließ sein Volk ausziehen mit Freuden,
mit Jubel seine Auserwählten.
44 Und er gab ihnen die Länder der Heiden;
und woran die Völker sich abgemüht hatten, das nahmen sie in Besitz;
45 auf daß sie seine Satzungen halten
und seine Lehren bewahren möchten.
Hallelujah!

Psalm 105

Dankt dem Herrn, ruft seinen Namen an,
macht unter den Völkern seine Taten bekannt!

Singt ihm, lobsingt ihm,
redet von allen seinen Wundern!

Rühmt euch seines heiligen Namens!
Es freue sich das Herz derer, die den Herrn suchen!

Fragt nach dem Herrn und nach seiner Macht,
sucht sein Angesicht allezeit!

Gedenkt an seine Wunder, die er getan hat,
an seine Zeichen und die Urteile seines Mundes,

o Same Abrahams, seines Knechtes,
o ihr Kinder Jakobs, seine Auserwählten!

Er, der Herr, ist unser Gott;
auf der ganzen Erde gelten seine Rechtsurteile.

Er gedenkt auf ewig an seinen Bund,
an das Wort, das er ergehen ließ auf tausend Geschlechter hin;

[an den Bund,] den er mit Abraham geschlossen,
an seinen Eid, den er Isaak geschworen hat.

10 Er stellte ihn auf für Jakob als Satzung,
für Israel als ewigen Bund,

11 als er sprach: »Dir gebe ich das Land Kanaan
als das Los eures Erbteils«,

12 als sie noch leicht zu zählen waren,
nur wenige und Fremdlinge darin.

13 Und sie zogen von einem Volk zum andern
und von einem Königreich zum andern.

14 Er ließ sie von keinem Menschen bedrücken
und züchtigte Könige um ihretwillen:

15 »Tastet meine Gesalbten nicht an
und fügt meinen Propheten kein Leid zu!«

16 Und er rief eine Hungersnot herbei über das Land
und zerschlug jede Stütze an Brot.[a]

17 Er sandte einen Mann vor ihnen her;
Joseph wurde als Knecht verkauft.

18 Sie zwangen seinen Fuß in einen Stock;
sein Hals kam ins Eisen

19 — bis zu der Zeit, da sein Wort eintraf
und der Ausspruch des Herrn ihn geläutert hatte.

20 Der König sandte hin und befreite ihn;
der die Völker beherrschte, ließ ihn los.

21 Er setzte ihn zum Herrn über sein Haus
und zum Herrscher über alle seine Güter,

22 dass er seine Fürsten nach Belieben binde
und seine Ältesten Weisheit lehre.

23 Da zog Israel nach Ägypten,
und Jakob wurde ein Fremdling im Land Hams.

24 Und er machte sein Volk sehr fruchtbar
und ließ es stärker werden als seine Bedränger.

25 Er verwandelte ihr Herz, dass sie sein Volk hassten,
arglistig handelten an seinen Knechten.

26 Er sandte Mose, seinen Knecht,
Aaron, den er erwählt hatte.

27 Die taten seine Zeichen unter ihnen
und Wunder im Land Hams.

28 Er sandte Finsternis, und es wurde Nacht,[b]
damit sie seinem Wort nicht widerstreben möchten[c].

29 Er verwandelte ihre Gewässer in Blut
und tötete ihre Fische;

30 ihr Land wimmelte von Fröschen
bis in die Gemächer ihrer Könige.

31 Er sprach, und es kamen Fliegenschwärme,
Mücken über ihr ganzes Gebiet.

32 Er gab ihnen Hagel statt Regen,
Feuerflammen auf ihr Land;

33 und er schlug ihre Weinstöcke und Feigenbäume
und zerbrach die Bäume in ihrem Land.

34 Er sprach, da kamen Heuschrecken
und Fresser ohne Zahl,

35 die fraßen alles Grün im Land
und verzehrten ihre Feldfrüchte.

36 Und er schlug alle Erstgeburt in ihrem Land,
die Erstlinge all ihrer Kraft.

37 Aber [Israel] ließ er ausziehen mit Silber und Gold,
und es war kein Strauchelnder unter ihren Stämmen.

38 Ägypten war froh, dass sie gingen;
denn Furcht vor ihnen war auf sie gefallen.

39 Er breitete vor ihnen eine Wolke aus als Decke[d]
und Feuer, um die Nacht zu erleuchten.

40 Sie forderten; da ließ er Wachteln kommen
und sättigte sie mit Himmelsbrot.

41 Er öffnete den Felsen, da floss Wasser heraus;
es floss als ein Strom in der Wüste.

42 Denn er gedachte an sein heiliges Wort,
an Abraham, seinen Knecht.

43 Er ließ sein Volk ausziehen mit Freuden,
mit Jubel seine Auserwählten.

44 Und er gab ihnen die Länder der Heiden,
und was die Völker sich mühsam erworben hatten, das nahmen sie in Besitz,

45 damit sie seine Satzungen hielten
und seine Lehren bewahrten.

Hallelujah!

Psalm 105(A)

Give praise to the Lord,(B) proclaim his name;(C)
    make known among the nations what he has done.
Sing to him,(D) sing praise to him;(E)
    tell of all his wonderful acts.(F)
Glory in his holy name;(G)
    let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
Look to the Lord and his strength;
    seek his face(H) always.

Remember the wonders(I) he has done,
    his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,(J)
you his servants, the descendants of Abraham,(K)
    his chosen(L) ones, the children of Jacob.
He is the Lord our God;
    his judgments are in all the earth.

He remembers his covenant(M) forever,
    the promise he made, for a thousand generations,
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)

Praise the Lord.[a](BW)

The Eternal Faithfulness of the Lord(A)

(G)His judgments are in all the earth.
He (H)remembers His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations,
(I)The covenant which He made with Abraham,
And His oath to Isaac,
10 And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
11 Saying, (J)“To you I will give the land of Canaan
As the allotment of your inheritance,”
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.
19 Until the time that his word came to pass,
(T)The word of the Lord tested him.
20 (U)The king sent and released him,
The ruler of the people let him go free.
21 (V)He made him lord of his house,
And ruler of all his possessions,
22 To [b]bind his princes at his pleasure,
And teach his elders wisdom.

23 (W)Israel also came into Egypt,
And Jacob dwelt (X)in the land of Ham.
24 (Y)He increased His people greatly,
And made them stronger than their enemies.
25 (Z)He turned their heart to hate His people,
To deal craftily with His servants.

26 (AA)He sent Moses His servant,
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!

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.
