Psalms 105

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Alleluia. Give glory to the Lord, and call upon his name: declare his deeds among the Gentiles.	1 Al eluia! Give thanks to Yahweh, cal on his name, proclaim his deeds to the peoples!
2 Sing to him, yea sing praises to him: relate all his wondrous works.	2 Sing to him, make music for him, recount all his wonders!
3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.	3 Glory in his holy name, let the hearts that seek Yahweh rejoice!
4 Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened: seek his face evermore.	4 Seek Yahweh and his strength, tirelessly seek his presence!
5 Remember his marvellous works which he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth.	5 Remember the marvels he has done, his wonders, the judgements he has spoken.
6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant; ye sons of Jacob his chosen.	6 Stock of Abraham, his servant, children of Jacob whom he chose!
7 He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.	7 He is Yahweh our God, his judgements touch the whole world.
8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever: the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.	8 He remembers his covenant for ever, the promise he laid down for a thousand generations,
9 Which he made to Abraham; and his oath to Isaac:	9 which he concluded with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac.
10 And he appointed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting testament:	10 He established it as a statute for Jacob, an everlasting covenant with Israel,
11 Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the lot of your inheritance.	11 saying, 'To you I give a land, Canaan, your allotted birthright.'
12 When they were but a small number: yea very few, and sojourners therein:	12 When they were insignificant in numbers, a handful of strangers in the land,
13 And they passed from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people.	13 wandering from country to country, from one kingdom and nation to another,
14 He suffered no man to hurt them: and he reproved kings for their sakes.	14 he al owed no one to oppress them; for their sake he instructed kings,
15 Touch ye not my anointed: and do no evil to my prophets.	15 'Do not touch my anointed ones, to my prophets you may do no harm.'
16 And he called a famine upon the land: and he broke in pieces all the support of bread.	16 He cal ed down famine on the land, he took away their food supply;
17 He sent a man before them: Joseph, who was sold for a slave.	17 he sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, sold as a slave.
18 They humbled his feet in fetters: the iron pierced his soul,	18 So his feet were weighed down with shackles, his neck was put in irons.
19 until his word came. The word of the Lord inflamed him.	19 In due time his prophecy was fulfilled, the word of Yahweh proved him true.
20 The king sent, and he released him: the ruler of the people, and he set him at liberty.	20 The king sent orders to release him, the ruler of nations set him free;
21 He made him master of his house, and ruler of all his possession.	21 he put him in charge of his household, the ruler of al he possessed,
22 That he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his ancients wisdom.	22 to instruct his princes as he saw fit, to teach his counsel ors wisdom.
23 And Israel went into Egypt: and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Cham.	23 Then Israel migrated to Egypt, Jacob settled in the country of Ham.
24 And he increased his people exceedingly: and strengthened them over their enemies,	24 He made his people increase in numbers, he gave them more strength than their enemies,
25 He turned their heart to hate his people: and to deal deceitfully with his servants.	25 whose heart he turned to hate his own people, to double-cross his servants.
26 He sent Moses his servant: Aaron the man whom he had chosen.	26 He sent his servant Moses, and Aaron, the man of his choice.
27 He gave them power to shew his signs, and his wonders in the land of Cham.	27 They worked there the wonders he commanded, marvels in the country of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and made it obscure: and grieved not his words.	28 Darkness he sent, and darkness fel , but that nation defied his orders.
29 He turned their waters into blood, and destroyed their fish.	29 He turned their rivers to blood, and kil ed al the fish in them.
30 Their land brought forth frogs, in the inner chambers of their kings.	30 Their country was overrun with frogs, even in the royal apartments;
31 He spoke, and there came divers sorts of flies and sciniphs in all their coasts.	31 at his word came flies, and mosquitoes throughout the country.
32 He gave them hail for rain, a burning fire in the land.	32 He gave them hail as their rain, flames of fire in their land;
33 And he destroyed their vineyards and their fig trees: and he broke in pieces the trees of their coasts.	33 he blasted their vine and their fig tree, and shattered the trees of the country.
34 He spoke, and the locust came, and the bruchus, of which there was no number.	34 At his word came locusts, hoppers beyond al counting;
35 And they devoured all the grass in their land, and consumed all the fruit of their ground.	35 they devoured every green thing in the land, devoured al the produce of the soil.
36 And he slew all the firstborn in their land: the firstfruits of all their labour.	36 He struck al the first-born in their land, the flower of all their manhood;
37 And he brought them out with silver and gold: and there was not among their tribes one that was feeble.	37 he led Israel out with silver and gold; in their tribes there was none who stumbled.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them lay upon them.	38 Egypt was glad at their leaving, for terror of Israel had seized them.
39 He spread a cloud for their protection, and fire to give them light in the night.	39 He spread out a cloud to cover them, and fire to light up the night.
40 They asked, and the quail came: and he filled them with the bread of heaven.	40 They asked and he brought them quails, food from heaven to their hearts' content;
41 He opened the rock, and waters flowed: rivers ran down in the dry land.	41 he opened a rock, the waters gushed out, and flowed in dry ground as a river.
42 Because he remembered his holy word, which he had spoken to his servant Abraham.	42 Faithful to his sacred promise, given to his servant Abraham,
43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness.	43 he led out his people with rejoicing, his chosen ones with shouts of joy.
44 And he gave them the lands of the Gentiles: and they possessed the labours of the people:	44 He gave them the territories of nations, they reaped the fruit of other people's labours,
45 That they might observe his justifications, and seek after his law.	45 on condition that they kept his statutes, and remained obedient to his laws.
