Zabur 105

¹Give thanks to Allah! Call on his name!

Make his doings known among the peoples.

²Sing to him, sing praises to him!

Tell of all his marvelous works.

³Glory in his holy name.

Let the heart of those who seek Allah rejoice.

⁴Seek Allah and his strength.

Seek his face forever more.

⁵Remember his marvelous works that he has done;

His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

⁶You seed of Ibrahim, his servant,

You children of Yaqub, his chosen ones.

⁷He is Allah, our God.

His judgments are in all the earth.

⁸He has remembered his covenant forever,

The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

⁹The covenant which he made with Ibrahim,

His oath to Ishaq,

¹⁰And confirmed the same to Yaqub for a statute;

To Israel for an everlasting covenant,

¹¹Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan,

The lot of your inheritance;"

¹²When they were but a few men in number,

Yes, very few, and foreigners in it.

¹³They went about from nation to nation,

From one kingdom to another people.

¹⁴He allowed no one to do them wrong.

Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,

¹⁵"Do not touch my anointed ones!

Do my prophets no harm!"

¹⁶He called for a famine on the land.

He destroyed the food supplies.

¹⁷He sent a man before them.

Yusuf was sold for a slave.

¹⁸They bruised his feet with shackles.

His neck was locked in irons,

¹⁹Until the time that his word happened,

And Allah's word proved him true.

²⁰The king sent and freed him;

Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.

²¹He made him lord of his house,

And ruler of all of his possessions;

²²To discipline his princes at his pleasure,

And to teach his elders wisdom.

²³Israel also came into Egypt.

Yaqub resided in the land of Ham.

²⁴He increased his people greatly,

And made them stronger than their adversaries.

²⁵He turned their heart to hate his people,

To conspire against his servants.

²⁶He sent Musa, his servant,

And Harun, whom he had chosen.

²⁷They performed miracles among them,

And wonders in the land of Ham.

²⁸He sent darkness, and made it dark.

They didn't rebel against his words.

²⁹He turned their waters into blood,

And killed their fish.

³⁰Their land swarmed with frogs,

Even in the chambers of their kings.

³¹He spoke, and swarms of flies came,

And lice in all their borders.

³²He gave them hail for rain,

With lightning in their land.

³³He struck their vines and also their fig trees,

And shattered the trees of their country.

³⁴He spoke, and the locusts came,

And the grasshoppers, without number,

³⁵Ate up every plant in their land;

And ate up the fruit of their ground.

³⁶He struck also all the firstborn in their land,

The first fruits of all their manhood.

³⁷He brought them forth with silver and gold.

There was not one feeble person among his tribes.

³⁸Egypt was glad when they departed,

For the fear of them had fallen on them.

³⁹He spread a cloud for a covering,

Fire to give light in the night.

⁴⁰They asked, and he brought quails,

And satisfied them with the bread of the sky.

⁴¹He opened the rock, and waters gushed out.

They ran as a river in the dry places.

⁴²For he remembered his holy word,

And Ibrahim, his servant.

⁴³He brought forth his people with joy,

His chosen with singing.

⁴⁴He gave them the lands of the nations.

They took the labour of the peoples in possession,

⁴⁵That they might keep his statutes,

And observe his laws.

Alhamdulillah!
