Psalm 105:17–43

¹⁷He hath sent before them a man, For a servant hath Joseph been sold.

¹⁸They have afflicted with fetters his feet, Iron hath entered his soul,

¹⁹Till the time of the coming of His word The saying of Jehovah hath tried him.

²⁰The king hath sent, and looseth him, The ruler of the peoples, and draweth him out.

²¹He hath made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions.

²²To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And his elders he maketh wise.

²³And Israel cometh in to Egypt, And Jacob hath sojourned in the land of Ham.

²⁴And He maketh His people very fruitful, And maketh it mightier than its adversaries.

²⁵He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire against His servants.

²⁶He hath sent Moses His servant, Aaron whom He had fixed on.

²⁷They have set among them the matters of His signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.

²⁸He hath sent darkness, and it is dark, And they have not provoked His word.

²⁹He hath turned their waters to blood, And putteth to death their fish.

³⁰Teemed hath their land with frogs, In the inner chambers of their kings.

³¹He hath said, and the beetle cometh, Lice into all their border.

³²He hath made their showers hail, A flaming fire is in their land.

³³And He smiteth their vine and their fig, And shivereth the trees of their border.

³⁴He hath said, and the locust cometh, And the cankerworm—innumerable,

³⁵And it consumeth every herb in their land, And it consumeth the fruit of their ground.

³⁶And He smiteth every first-born in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,

³⁷And bringeth them out with silver and gold, And there is not in its tribes a feeble one.

³⁸Rejoiced hath Egypt in their going forth, For their fear had fallen upon them.

³⁹He hath spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to enlighten the night.

⁴⁰They have asked, and He bringeth quails, And with bread of heaven satisfieth them.

⁴¹He hath opened a rock, and waters issue, They have gone on in dry places—a river.

⁴²For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant,

⁴³And He bringeth forth His people with joy, With singing His chosen ones.
