105:10 He gave it to Jacob as a decree,
to Israel as a lasting promise, 1
105:11 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan
as the portion of your inheritance.”
105:12 When they were few in number,
just a very few, and resident aliens within it,
105:13 they wandered from nation to nation,
and from one kingdom to another. 2
105:14 He let no one oppress them;
he disciplined kings for their sake,
105:15 saying, 3 “Don’t touch my chosen 4 ones!
Don’t harm my prophets!”
105:26 He sent his servant Moses,
and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
105:27 They executed his miraculous signs among them, 5
and his amazing deeds in the land of Ham.
105:28 He made it dark; 6
they did not disobey his orders. 7
105:29 He turned their water into blood,
and killed their fish.
105:30 Their land was overrun by frogs,
which even got into the rooms of their kings.
105:31 He ordered flies to come; 8
gnats invaded their whole territory.
105:32 He sent hail along with the rain; 9
there was lightning in their land. 10
105:33 He destroyed their vines and fig trees,
and broke the trees throughout their territory.
105:34 He ordered locusts to come, 11
innumerable grasshoppers.
105:35 They ate all the vegetation in their land,
and devoured the crops of their fields. 12
105:36 He struck down all the firstborn in their land,
the firstfruits of their reproductive power. 13
105:37 He brought his people 14 out enriched 15 with silver and gold;
none of his tribes stumbled.
