MOF PSA Chapter 105

◄ PSA 105 ► ║ ©

105 Give thanks to the Eternal, proclaim his fame,

celebrate his deeds among the nations,

2 sing to him, make music to him,

go over all the wonders he has done,

3 glory in his sacred name,

let the Eternal’s worshippers rejoice in heart.

4 Worship the Eternal and his might,

worship in his presence evermore;

5 never forget the wonders he has done,

his marvels and his sentences of doom,

6 O race of Abraham his servant,

O sons of Jacob whom he chose.

7 The Eternal, he is our God,

supreme over all nations.

8 He never forgets his compact,

the pledge given for a thousand generations,

9 the compact made with Abraham,

the oath he swore to Isaac,

10 confirming it as a degree to Jacob,

for Israel as a lasting compact,

11 that he would give them Canaan’s land,

to hold it as their own possession.

12 Few in number were our fathers,

few and foreigners;

13 wandering from one nation to another,

and from realm to realm;

14 but he would not let a man oppress them,

he would punish kings on their account,

15 saying, “‘ Never touch my chosen,

never harm my prophets.”

16 He called a famine on the land,

destroying all the Egyptians’ sustenance.

17 He sent a man in front of them,

Joseph, sold as a slave;

18 his feet were forced into fetters,

he was laid in irons,

19 till the promise of the Eternal came true,

the promise that tested him.

20 Then the king sent and released him,

the monarch set him free,

21 and made him master of his palace,

lord of all that he possessed,

22 to control his nobles as he pleased,

and dictate to his councillors.

23 Then Israel entered Egypt,

Jacob lived in the land of Khem.

24 God multiplied his people greatly,

till they outnumbered the Egyptians,

25 who turned to hate his people,

to handle his servants craftily.

26 So he sent his servant Moses,

and Aaron whom he chose;

27 he wrought portents within Egypt,

marvels in the land of Khem;

28 darkness he sent, he made it dark,

but they would not heed his word;

29 he turned their waters into blood,

and killed their fish;

30 frogs swarmed over their country,

into the very chambers of the king;

31 dog-flies swarmed at his command,

and lice through all their land;

32 he gave them hail for rain,

and fire flashed over the land,

33 striking their vines and fig-trees,

breaking the trees of the country;

34 at his bidding locusts came,

and grasshoppers past counting,

35 that ate up all the green growth of the land,

and all the crops;

36 he struck down all the first-born in their land,

each oldest male child.

37 Then he led out his clansmen,

carrying spoil of gold and silver,

not a weary man among them;

38 glad was Egypt when they left,

for they were dreaded.

39 He spread out clouds to shelter them,

and lit them in the night with fire;

40 he sent them quails, at their demand,

and bread of heaven in plenty;

41 he opened rocks, and through the sand

water rushed like a river.

42 For he remembered his own sacred pledge

to Abraham his servant.

43 So he brought his people out with joy,

his chosen with a song and shout;

44 he gave them the lands of the nations,

and they possessed the fruit of others’ toils

45 ’Twas all to make them carry out his orders

and obey his laws.
