Psalm 105

HNV

MSG

1 Give thanks to the LORD! Call on his name! Make his doings known among the peoples.
1 Hallelujah! Thank God! Pray to him by name! Tell everyone you meet what he has done!
2 Sing to him, sing praises to him! Tell of all his marvelous works.
2 Sing him songs, belt out hymns, translate his wonders into music!
3 Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of them rejoice who seek the LORD.
3 Honor his holy name with Hallelujahs, you who seek God. Live a happy life!
4 Seek the LORD and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
4 Keep your eyes open for God, watch for his works; be alert for signs of his presence.
5 Remember his marvelous works that he has done; His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
5 Remember the world of wonders he has made, his miracles, and the verdicts he's rendered -
6 You seed of Avraham, his servant, You children of Ya`akov, his chosen ones.
6 O seed of Abraham, his servant, O child of Jacob, his chosen.
7 He is the LORD, our God. His judgments are in all the eretz.
7 He's God, our God, in charge of the whole earth.
8 He has remembered his covenant forever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
8 And he remembers, remembers his Covenant - for a thousand generations he's been as good as his word.
9 The covenant which he made with Avraham, His oath to Yitzchak,
9 It's the Covenant he made with Abraham, the same oath he swore to Isaac,
10 And confirmed the same to Ya`akov for a statute; To Yisra'el for an everlasting covenant,
10 The very statute he established with Jacob, the eternal Covenant with Israel,
11 Saying, "To you I will give the land of Kana`an, The lot of your inheritance;"
11 Namely, "I give you the land. Canaan is your hill-country inheritance."
12 When they were but a few men in number, Yes, very few, and sojourners in it.
12 When they didn't count for much, a mere handful, and strangers at that,
13 They went about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people.
13 Wandering from country to country, drifting from pillar to post,
14 He allowed no one to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
14 He permitted no one to abuse them. He told kings to keep their hands off:
15 "Don't touch my anointed ones. Do my prophets no harm."
15 "Don't you dare lay a hand on my anointed, don't hurt a hair on the heads of my prophets."
16 He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies.
16 Then he called down a famine on the country, he broke every last blade of wheat.
17 He sent a man before them. Yosef was sold for a slave.
17 But he sent a man on ahead: Joseph, sold as a slave.
18 They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons,
18 They put cruel chains on his ankles, an iron collar around his neck,
19 Until the time that his word happened, And the LORD's word proved him true.
19 Until God's word came to the Pharaoh, and God confirmed his promise.
20 The king sent and freed him; Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
20 God sent the king to release him. The Pharaoh set Joseph free;
21 He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all of his possessions;
21 He appointed him master of his palace, put him in charge of all his business
22 To discipline his princes at his pleasure, And to teach his Zakenim wisdom.
22 To personally instruct his princes and train his advisors in wisdom.
23 Yisra'el also came into Mitzrayim. Ya`akov sojourned in the land of Ham.
23 Then Israel entered Egypt, Jacob immigrated to the Land of Ham.
24 He increased his people greatly, And made them stronger than their adversaries.
24 God gave his people lots of babies; soon their numbers alarmed their foes.
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, To conspire against his servants.
25 He turned the Egyptians against his people; they abused and cheated God's servants.
26 He sent Moshe, his servant, And Aharon, whom he had chosen.
26 Then he sent his servant Moses, and Aaron, whom he also chose.
27 They performed miracles among them, And wonders in the land of Ham.
27 They worked marvels in that spiritual wasteland, miracles in the Land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn't rebel against his words.
28 He spoke, "Darkness!" and it turned dark - they couldn't see what they were doing.
29 He turned their waters into blood, And killed their fish.
29 He turned all their water to blood so that all their fish died;
30 Their land swarmed with frogs, Even in the chambers of their kings.
30 He made frogs swarm through the land, even into the king's bedroom;
31 He spoke, and swarms of flies came, And lice in all their borders.
31 He gave the word and flies swarmed, gnats filled the air.
32 He gave them hail for rain, With lightning in their land.
32 He substituted hail for rain, he stabbed their land with lightning;
33 He struck their vines and also their fig trees, And shattered the trees of their country.
33 He wasted their vines and fig trees, smashed their groves of trees to splinters;
34 He spoke, and the locusts came, And the grasshoppers, without number,
34 With a word he brought in locusts, millions of locusts, armies of locusts;
35 Ate up every plant in their land; Ate up the fruit of their ground.
35 They consumed every blade of grass in the country and picked the ground clean of produce;
36 He struck also all the firstborn in their land, The chief of all their strength.
36 He struck down every firstborn in the land, the first fruits of their virile powers.
37 He brought them forth with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person among his tribes.
37 He led Israel out, their arms filled with loot, and not one among his tribes even stumbled.
38 Mitzrayim was glad when they departed, For the fear of them had fallen on them.
38 Egypt was glad to have them go - they were scared to death of them.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering, Fire to give light in the night.
39 God spread a cloud to keep them cool through the day and a fire to light their way through the night;
40 They asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of the sky.
40 They prayed and he brought quail, filled them with the bread of heaven;
41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places.
41 He opened the rock and water poured out; it flowed like a river through that desert -
42 For he remembered his holy word, And Avraham, his servant.
42 All because he remembered his Covenant, his promise to Abraham, his servant.
43 He brought forth his people with joy, His chosen with singing.
43 Remember this! He led his people out singing for joy; his chosen people marched, singing their hearts out!
44 He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession,
44 He made them a gift of the country they entered, helped them seize the wealth of the nations
45 That they might keep his statutes, And observe his laws. Praise the LORD!
45 So they could do everything he told them - could follow his instructions to the letter. Hallelujah!
