Psaltaren 105

Psalm 105
Herrens gärningar mot sitt folk
1 Tacka Herren, åkalla hans namn,
gör hans gärningar kända bland folken!
2 Sjung till hans ära, lovprisa honom,
tala om alla hans under!
3 Beröm er av hans heliga namn!
De som söker Herren må glädja sig av hjärtat.
4 Fråga efter Herren och hans makt,
sök alltid hans ansikte.
5 Tänk på de under han har gjort,
på hans tecken och hans domslut,
6 ni Abrahams barn, hans tjänare,
ni Jakobs söner, hans utvalda.
7 Han är Herren, vår Gud,
över hela jorden når hans domar.
8 Han tänker för evigt på sitt förbund,
på det ord han påbjudit för tusen släkten,
9 på det förbund han slöt med Abraham
och på sin ed till Isak.
10 Han fastställde det för Jakob som en stadga,
för Israel som ett evigt förbund.
11 Han sade: Åt dig ger jag Kanaans land,
det skall bli er arvedel.
12 Då var de en liten skara,
de var få och främlingar i landet.
13 De vandrade från folk till folk,
från ett land till ett annat.
14 Han tillät ingen att skada dem,
han straffade kungar för deras skull:
15 Rör inte mina smorda,
gör inte mina profeter något ont!
16 När han sände hungersnöd över landet
så att de led brist på bröd,
17 då sände han en man framför dem,
Josef som blev såld till slav.
18 Man slog hans fötter i bojor,
i järn låg han bunden,
19 till den tid då hans ord uppfylldes
och Herrens tal bevisade hans oskuld.
20 Då släpptes han på kungens befallning,
folkens härskare gav honom fri.
21 Han satte honom till herre över sitt hus,
till att råda över allt han ägde,
22 för att binda hans furstar efter sin vilja
och lära hans äldste vishet.
23 Och Israel kom till Egypten,
Jakob blev gäst i Hams land.
24 Herren gjorde sitt folk mycket fruktsamt
och mäktigare än deras ovänner.
25 Han förvandlade deras hjärtan,
så att de hatade hans folk
och handlade svekfullt mot hans tjänare.
26 Han sände Mose, sin tjänare,
och Aron som han utvalt.
27 De gjorde hans tecken bland dem
och under i Hams land.
28 Han sände mörker och allt blev mörkt,
och de stod inte emot hans ord.
29 Han förvandlade deras vatten till blod
och deras fiskar dog.
30 Deras land vimlade av paddor,
ända in i deras kungars kamrar.
31 Han befallde och svärmar av insekter kom,
mygg över hela deras land.
32 Han gav dem hagel i stället för regn
och sände eldslågor i landet.
33 Han slog ner deras vinstockar och fikonträd
och bröt sönder träden i landet.
34 Han befallde och gräshoppor kom
och gräsmaskar i oräknelig mängd.
35 De åt upp alla örter i landet,
de åt upp grödan på marken.
36 Han slog allt förstfött i landet,
förstlingen av deras livskraft.
37 Så förde han dem ut med silver och guld,
i hans stammar stapplade ingen.
38 Egyptierna gladde sig när de drog ut,
ty förskräckelse för Israel hade fallit över dem.
39 Han bredde ut ett moln till skydd
och en eld som lyste om natten.
40 De bad, och han lät vaktlar komma
och mättade dem med bröd från himlen.
41 Han öppnade klippan och vatten flödade,
det rann genom öknen som en ström.
42 Ty han tänkte på sitt heliga löfte
till Abraham, sin tjänare.
43 Så förde han ut sitt folk med glädje,
sina utvalda med jubel.
44 Han gav hednafolkens länder åt dem,
det folken arbetat ihop fick de ärva,
45 för att de skulle hålla hans stadgar
och ta vara på hans undervisning.
Halleluja!
Psalm 105
King James Version
105 O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
4 Seek the Lord, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
7 He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
9 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.
Psalm 105
English Standard Version
Tell of All His Wondrous Works
105 (A)Oh give thanks to the Lord; (B)call upon his name;
(C)make known his deeds among the peoples!
2 Sing to him, sing praises to him;
(D)tell of all his wondrous works!
3 Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
4 Seek the Lord and his (E)strength;
(F)seek his presence continually!
5 Remember the (G)wondrous works that he has done,
his miracles, and (H)the judgments he uttered,
6 O offspring of (I)Abraham, his servant,
children of Jacob, his (J)chosen ones!
7 He is the Lord our God;
his (K)judgments are in all the earth.
8 He (L)remembers his covenant forever,
the word that he commanded, for (M)a thousand generations,
9 (N)the covenant that he made with Abraham,
his (O)sworn promise to Isaac,
10 which he confirmed to (P)Jacob as a statute,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
11 saying, (Q)“To you I will give the land of Canaan
as (R)your portion for an inheritance.”
12 When they were (S)few in number,
of little account, and (T)sojourners in it,
13 wandering from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another people,
14 he (U)allowed no one to oppress them;
he (V)rebuked kings on their account,
15 saying, (W)“Touch not my anointed ones,
do my prophets no harm!”
16 When he (X)summoned a famine on the land
and (Y)broke all supply[a] of bread,
17 he had (Z)sent a man ahead of them,
Joseph, who was (AA)sold as a slave.
18 His (AB)feet were hurt with fetters;
his neck was put in a collar of iron;
19 until (AC)what he had said came to pass,
the word of the Lord (AD)tested him.
20 (AE)The king sent and (AF)released him;
the ruler of the peoples set him free;
21 he (AG)made him lord of his house
and ruler of all his possessions,
22 to bind[b] his princes at his pleasure
and to teach his elders wisdom.
23 Then (AH)Israel came to Egypt;
Jacob (AI)sojourned in (AJ)the land of Ham.
24 And the Lord (AK)made his people very fruitful
and made them stronger than their foes.
25 He (AL)turned their hearts to hate his people,
to (AM)deal craftily with his servants.
26 He (AN)sent Moses, his servant,
and Aaron, (AO)whom he had chosen.
27 (AP)They performed his signs among them
and miracles in (AQ)the land of Ham.
28 He (AR)sent darkness, and made the land dark;
they (AS)did not rebel[c] against his words.
29 He turned their waters into blood
and (AT)caused their fish to die.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs,
even in (AU)the chambers of their kings.
31 He spoke, and there came (AV)swarms of flies,
(AW)and gnats throughout their country.
32 He gave them hail for rain,
and fiery (AX)lightning bolts through their land.
33 He struck down their vines and fig trees,
and (AY)shattered the trees of their country.
34 He spoke, and the (AZ)locusts came,
young locusts without number,
35 which devoured all the vegetation in their land
and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36 He (BA)struck down all the firstborn in their land,
(BB)the firstfruits of all their strength.
37 Then he brought out Israel with (BC)silver and gold,
and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.
38 (BD)Egypt was glad when they departed,
for (BE)dread of them had fallen upon it.
39 He (BF)spread a cloud for a covering,
and fire to give light by night.
40 (BG)They asked, and he (BH)brought quail,
and gave them (BI)bread from heaven in abundance.
41 He opened the rock, and (BJ)water gushed out;
it flowed through (BK)the desert like a river.
42 For he (BL)remembered his holy promise,
and (BM)Abraham, his servant.
43 So he brought his people out with joy,
his (BN)chosen ones with (BO)singing.
44 And he (BP)gave them the lands of the nations,
and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples' toil,
45 that they might (BQ)keep his statutes
and (BR)observe his laws.
(BS)Praise the Lord!
