第 105 篇
上帝和祂的子民
（平行经文：历代志上16:8-22）
1你们要称谢耶和华，呼求祂的名，
在列邦传扬祂的作为。
2要歌颂、赞美祂，
述说祂一切奇妙的作为。
3要以祂的圣名为荣，
愿寻求耶和华的人都欢欣。
4要寻求耶和华和祂的能力，
时常来到祂面前。
5-6祂仆人亚伯拉罕的后裔，
祂所拣选的雅各的子孙啊，
要记住祂所行的神迹奇事和祂口中的判词。
7祂是我们的上帝耶和华，
祂在普天下施行审判。
8祂永远记得祂的约，
历经千代也不忘祂的应许，
9就是祂与亚伯拉罕所立的约，
向以撒所起的誓。
10祂把这约定为律例赐给雅各，
定为永远的约赐给以色列。
11祂说：“我必把迦南赐给你，
作为你的产业。”
12那时他们人丁稀少，
在当地寄居。
13他们在异国他乡流离飘零。
14耶和华不容人压迫他们，
还为他们的缘故责备君王，
15说：“不可难为我膏立的人，
也不可伤害我的先知。”
16祂在那里降下饥荒，
断绝一切食物的供应。
17祂派一个人率先前往，
这人就是被卖为奴隶的约瑟。
18他被戴上脚镣，套上枷锁，
19直到后来他的预言应验，
耶和华的话试炼了他。
20埃及王下令释放他，
百姓的首领给他自由，
21派他执掌朝政，
管理国中的一切，
22有权柄管束王的大臣，
将智慧传授王的长老。
23以色列来到埃及，
寄居在含地。
24耶和华使祂的子民生养众多，
比他们的仇敌还要强盛。
25祂使仇敌憎恨他们，
用诡计虐待他们。
26祂派遣祂的仆人摩西和祂拣选的亚伦，
27在埃及行神迹，
在含地行奇事。
28祂降下黑暗，使黑暗笼罩那里；
他们没有违背祂的话。
29祂使埃及的水变成血，
鱼都死去；
30又使国中到处是青蛙，
王宫禁院也不能幸免。
31祂一发命令，
苍蝇蜂拥而至，虱子遍满全境。
32祂使雨变成冰雹，
遍地电光闪闪。
33祂击倒他们的葡萄树和无花果树，
摧毁他们境内的树木。
34祂一发声，
就飞来无数蝗虫和蚂蚱，
35吃尽他们土地上的植物，
吃尽他们田间的出产。
36祂又击杀他们境内所有的长子，
就是他们年轻力壮时生的长子。
37祂带领以色列人携金带银地离开埃及，
各支派中无人畏缩。
38埃及人惧怕他们，
乐见他们离去。
39祂铺展云彩为他们遮荫，
晚上用火给他们照明。
40他们祈求，
祂就赐下鹌鹑，降下天粮，
叫他们饱足。
41祂使磐石裂开、涌出水来，
在干旱之地奔流成河。
42因为祂没有忘记祂赐给仆人亚伯拉罕的神圣应许。
43祂带领自己的子民欢然离去，
祂所拣选的百姓欢唱着前行。
44祂把列国的土地赐给他们，
使他们获得别人的劳动成果。
45祂这样做是要使他们持守祂的命令，
遵行祂的律法。
你们要赞美耶和华！
1O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
2Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
3Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
4Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
5Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
7He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
8He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
9Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
10And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
11Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:105.11 lot: Heb. cord
12When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
13When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;
14He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
15Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
16Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
17He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
18Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:105.18 he…: Heb. his soul came into iron
19Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
20The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
21He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:105.21 substance: Heb. possession
22To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
23Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.
25He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
26He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.
27They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.105.27 his…: Heb. words of his signs
28He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
29He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
30Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.
31He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.
32He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.105.32 them…: Heb. their rain hail
33He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.
34He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,
35And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
36He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
37He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
38Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.
39He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
40The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.
42For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
43And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:105.43 gladness: Heb. singing
44And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;
45That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.105.45 Praise…: Heb. Hallelujah
