1(105) Alleluia. Give thanks to the Lord, and call upon his name; declare his works among the heathen.
1Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty.
2Sing to him, yes, sing praises to him: tell forth all his wonderful works.
2He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.
3Glory in his holy name: let the heart of them that seek the Lord rejoice.
3He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.
4Seek you⌃ the Lord, and be strengthened; seek his face continually.
4He makes his messengers winds, and his servants flames of fire.
5Remember his wonderful works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
5He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever.
6[you⌃] seed of Abraam, his servants, [you⌃] children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
6You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.
7He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
7At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.
8He has remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded for a thousand generation:
8The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them.
9which he established as a covenant to Abraam, and [he remembered] his oath to Isaac.
9You have set a boundary that they may not pass over, that they don’t turn again to cover the earth.
10And he established it to Jacob for an ordinance, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant;
10He sends springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.
11saying To you will I give the land of Chanaan, the line of your inheritance:
11They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12when they were few in number, very few, and sojourners in it.
12The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches.
13And they went from nation to nation, and from [one] kingdom to another people.
13He waters the mountains from his rooms. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.
14He suffered no man to wrong them; and he rebuked kings for their sakes:
14He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may produce food out of the earth:
15[saying], Touch not my anointed ones; and do my prophets no harm.
15wine that makes the heart of man glad, oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man’s heart.
16Moreover he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole support of bread.
16Yahweh’s trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted,
17He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a slave.
17where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the cypress trees.
18They hurt his feet with fetters; his soul passed into iron,
18The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.
19until the time that his cause came on; the word of the Lord tried him as fire.
19He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.
20The king sent and loosed him; [even] the prince of the people, and let him go free.
20You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl.
21He made him Lord over his house, and ruler of all his substance;
21The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.
22to chastise his rulers at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.
22The sun rises, and they steal away, and lie down in their dens.
23Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Cham.
23Man goes out to his work, to his labor until the evening.
24And he increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their enemies.
24Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom, you have made them all. The earth is full of your riches.
25And he turned their heart to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants.
25There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals.
26He sent forth Moses his servant, [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.
26There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.
27He established among them his signs, and [his] wonders in the land of Cham.
27These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season.
28He sent forth darkness, and made it dark; yet they rebelled against his words.
28You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.
29He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish.
29You hide your face; they are troubled. You take away their breath; they die and return to the dust.
30Their land produced frogs abundantly, in the chambers of their kings.
30You send out your Spirit and they are created. You renew the face of the ground.
31He spoke, and the dog-fly came, and lice in all their coasts.
31Let Yahweh’s glory endure forever. Let Yahweh rejoice in his works.
32He turned their rain into hail, [and sent] flaming fire in their land.
32He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33And he struck their vines and their fig trees; and broke every tree of their coast.
33I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.
34He spoke, and the locust came, and caterpillars innumerable,
34Let my meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Yahweh.
35and devoured all the grass in their land, and devoured the fruit of the ground.
35Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Praise Yah!
