105 Give ye thanks to Jehovah -- call ye in His name, Make known among the peoples His acts.

² Sing ye to Him -- sing praise to Him, Meditate ye on all His wonders.

³ Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking Jehovah rejoiceth.

⁴ Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek ye His face continually.

⁵ Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth.

⁶ O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

²³ And Israel cometh in to Egypt, And Jacob hath sojourned in the land of Ham.

²⁴ And He maketh His people very fruitful, And maketh it mightier than its adversaries.

²⁵ He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire against His servants.

²⁶ He hath sent Moses His servant, Aaron whom He had fixed on.

⁴⁵ That they may observe His statutes, And His laws may keep. Praise ye Jehovah!

¹⁶ `Go, and thou hast gathered the elders of Israel, and hast said unto them: Jehovah, God of your fathers, hath appeareth unto me, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I have certainly inspected you, and that which is done to you in Egypt;

¹⁷ and I say, I bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt, unto the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, unto a land flowing [with] milk and honey.

¹⁸ `And they have hearkened to thy voice, and thou hast entered, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye have said unto him, Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, hath met with us; and now, let us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we sacrifice to Jehovah our God.

¹⁹ `And I -- I have known that the king of Egypt doth not permit you to go, unless by a strong hand,

²⁰ and I have put forth My hand, and have smitten Egypt with all My wonders, which I do in its midst -- and afterwards he doth send you away.

²¹ `And I have given the grace of this people in the eyes of the Egyptians, and it hath come to pass, when ye go, ye go not empty;

²² and [every] woman hath asked from her neighbour, and from her who is sojourning in her house, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and ye have put [them] on your sons and on your daughters, and have spoiled the Egyptians.'

⁷ for the secret of the lawlessness doth already work, only he who is keeping down now [will hinder] -- till he may be out of the way,

⁸ and then shall be revealed the Lawless One, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the manifestation of his presence,

⁹ [him,] whose presence is according to the working of the Adversary, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders,

¹⁰ and in all deceitfulness of the unrighteousness in those perishing, because the love of the truth they did not receive for their being saved,

¹¹ and because of this shall God send to them a working of delusion, for their believing the lie,

¹² that they may be judged -- all who did not believe the truth, but were well pleased in the unrighteousness.
