Psalm 105
1Give praise to the Lord and announce who he is.
Tell the nations what he has done.
2Sing to him, sing praise to him.
Tell about all the wonderful things he has done.
3Praise him, because his name is holy.
Let the hearts of those who trust in the Lord be glad.
4Seek the Lord and the strength he gives.
Always seek him.
5Remember the wonderful things he has done.
Remember his miracles and how he judged our enemies.
6Remember what he has done, you children of his servant Abraham.
Remember it, you people of Jacob, God’s chosen ones.
7He is the Lord our God.
He judges the whole earth.
8He will keep his covenant forever.
He will keep his promise for all time to come.
9He will keep the covenant he made with Abraham.
He will keep the promise he made to Isaac.
10He made it stand as a law for Jacob.
He made it stand as a covenant for Israel that will last forever.
11He said, “I will give you the land of Canaan.
It will belong to you.”
12At first there weren’t very many of God’s people.
There were only a few, and they were strangers in the land.
13They wandered from nation to nation.
They wandered from one kingdom to another.
14But God didn’t allow anyone to treat them badly.
To keep them safe, he gave a command to kings.
15He said to them, “Do not touch my anointed ones.
Do not harm my prophets.”
16He made the people in the land go hungry.
He destroyed all their food supplies.
17He sent a man ahead of them into Egypt.
That man was Joseph. He had been sold as a slave.
18The Egyptians put his feet in chains.
They put an iron collar around his neck.
19He was in prison until what he said would happen came true.
The word of the Lord proved that he was right.
20The king of Egypt sent for Joseph and let him out of prison.
The ruler of many nations set him free.
21He put Joseph in charge of his palace.
He made him ruler over everything he owned.
22Joseph was in charge of teaching the princes.
He taught the elders how to think and live wisely.
23Then the rest of Jacob’s family went to Egypt.
The people of Israel lived as outsiders in the land of Ham.
24The Lord gave his people so many children
that there were too many of them for their enemies.
25He made the Egyptians hate his people.
The Egyptians made evil plans against them.
26The Lord sent his servant Moses to the king of Egypt.
He sent Aaron, his chosen one, along with him.
27The Lord gave them the power to do signs among the Egyptians.
They did his wonders in the land of Ham.
28The Lord sent darkness over the land.
He did it because the Egyptians had refused to obey his words.
29He turned their rivers and streams into blood.
He caused the fish in them to die.
30Their land was covered with frogs.
Frogs even went into the bedrooms of the rulers.
31The Lord spoke, and large numbers of flies came.
Gnats filled the whole country.
32He turned their rain into hail.
Lightning flashed all through their land.
33He destroyed their vines and fig trees.
He broke down the trees in Egypt.
34He spoke, and the locusts came.
There were so many of them they couldn’t be counted.
35They ate up every green thing in the land.
They ate up what the land produced.
36Then he killed the oldest son of every family in Egypt.
He struck down the oldest of all their sons.
37He brought the people of Israel out of Egypt.
The Egyptians loaded them down with silver and gold.
From among the tribes of Israel no one got tired or fell down.
38The Egyptians were glad when the people of Israel left.
They were terrified because of Israel.
39The Lord spread out a cloud to cover his people.
He gave them a fire to light up the night.
40They asked for meat, and he brought them quail.
He fed them well with manna, the bread of heaven.
41He broke open a rock, and streams of water poured out.
They flowed like a river in the desert.
42He remembered the holy promise
he had made to his servant Abraham.
43His chosen people shouted for joy
as he brought them out of Egypt.
44He gave them the lands of other nations.
He let them take over what others had worked for.
45He did it so they might obey his rules
and follow his laws.
Praise the Lord.
第 105 篇
上帝和祂的子民
（平行經文：歷代志上16·8-22）
1你們要稱謝耶和華，呼求祂的名，
在列邦傳揚祂的作為。
2要歌頌、讚美祂，
述說祂一切奇妙的作為。
3要以祂的聖名為榮，
願尋求耶和華的人都歡欣。
4要尋求耶和華和祂的能力，
時常來到祂面前。
5-6祂僕人亞伯拉罕的後裔，
祂所揀選的雅各的子孫啊，
要記住祂所行的神蹟奇事和祂口中的判詞。
7祂是我們的上帝耶和華，
祂在普天下施行審判。
8祂永遠記得祂的約，
歷經千代也不忘祂的應許，
9就是祂與亞伯拉罕所立的約，
向以撒所起的誓。
10祂把這約定為律例賜給雅各，
定為永遠的約賜給以色列。
11祂說：「我必把迦南賜給你，
作為你的產業。」
12那時他們人丁稀少，
在當地寄居。
13他們在異國他鄉流離飄零。
14耶和華不容人壓迫他們，
還為他們的緣故責備君王，
15說：「不可難為我膏立的人，
也不可傷害我的先知。」
16祂在那裡降下饑荒，
斷絕一切食物的供應。
17祂派一個人率先前往，
這人就是被賣為奴隸的約瑟。
18他被戴上腳鐐，套上枷鎖，
19直到後來他的預言應驗，
耶和華的話試煉了他。
20埃及王下令釋放他，
百姓的首領給他自由，
21派他執掌朝政，
管理國中的一切，
22有權柄管束王的大臣，
將智慧傳授王的長老。
23以色列來到埃及，
寄居在含地。
24耶和華使祂的子民生養眾多，
比他們的仇敵還要強盛。
25祂使仇敵憎恨他們，
用詭計虐待他們。
26祂派遣祂的僕人摩西和祂揀選的亞倫，
27在埃及行神蹟，
在含地行奇事。
28祂降下黑暗，使黑暗籠罩那裡；
他們沒有違背祂的話。
29祂使埃及的水變成血，
魚都死去；
30又使國中到處是青蛙，
王宮禁院也不能倖免。
31祂一發命令，
蒼蠅蜂擁而至，蝨子遍滿全境。
32祂使雨變成冰雹，
遍地電光閃閃。
33祂擊倒他們的葡萄樹和無花果樹，
摧毀他們境內的樹木。
34祂一發聲，
就飛來無數蝗蟲和螞蚱，
35吃盡他們土地上的植物，
吃盡他們田間的出產。
36祂又擊殺他們境內所有的長子，
就是他們年輕力壯時生的長子。
37祂帶領以色列人攜金帶銀地離開埃及，
各支派中無人畏縮。
38埃及人懼怕他們，
樂見他們離去。
39祂鋪展雲彩為他們遮蔭，
晚上用火給他們照明。
40他們祈求，
祂就賜下鵪鶉，降下天糧，
叫他們飽足。
41祂使磐石裂開、湧出水來，
在乾旱之地奔流成河。
42因為祂沒有忘記祂賜給僕人亞伯拉罕的神聖應許。
43祂帶領自己的子民歡然離去，
祂所揀選的百姓歡唱著前行。
44祂把列國的土地賜給他們，
使他們獲得別人的勞動成果。
45祂這樣做是要使他們持守祂的命令，
遵行祂的律法。
你們要讚美耶和華！
