from Biblica1Give 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 for ever. 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 for ever.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 eldest son of every family in Egypt. He struck down the eldest 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.
1(По слав. 104.) Славословете ГОСПОДА; призовавайте името Му; възвестявайте между племената делата Му. (1Ch 16:8; Ps 145:4; Ps 145:5; Ps 145:11; Isa 12:4)2Пейте Му, славословете Го; говорете за всичките Му чудесни дела. (Ps 77:12; Ps 119:27)3Хвалете се с Неговото свято име; нека се весели сърцето на онези, които търсят ГОСПОДА.4Търсете ГОСПОДА и Неговата сила; търсете лицето Му винаги. (Ps 27:8)5Помнете чудесните дела, които е извършил, знаменията Му и отсъжданията на устата Му, (Ps 77:11)6вие, потомци на слугата Му Авраам, деца Яковови, Негови избрани.7Той е ГОСПОД, нашият Бог, Чийто съд е по цялата земя. (Isa 26:9)8Винаги помни завета Си; словото е заповядал да стои за хиляда поколения, (Lu 1:72)9което изговори на Авраам, и клетвата, с която се закле на Исаак, (Ge 17:2; Ge 22:16; Ge 26:3; Ge 28:13; Ge 35:11; Lu 1:73; Heb 6:17)10която утвърди на Яков за закон, на Израил за вечен завет,11като каза: На тебе ще дам Ханаанската земя за дял на наследството ви. (Ge 13:15; Ge 15:18)12Когато те бяха още малко на брой – да!, – малко и пришълци в нея, (Ge 34:30; De 7:7; De 26:5; Heb 11:9)13и се скитаха от народ в народ, от едно царство в друго,14Той не остави никой да им навреди, дори заради тях изобличи царе, (Ge 12:17; Ge 20:3; Ge 20:7; Ge 35:5)15като каза: Да не закачите помазаните Ми и да не сторите зло на пророците Ми.16После призова глад на земята, строши всяка подпорка от хляб. (Ge 41:54; Le 26:26; Isa 3:1; Eze 4:16)17Изпрати пред тях човека Йосиф, който беше продаден като роб. (Ge 37:28; Ge 37:36; Ge 45:5; Ge 50:20)18Притиснаха краката му с окови; душата му страдаше в притискането на желязото, (Ge 39:20; Ge 40:15)19докато дойде време да се изпълни думата му; защото словото ГОСПОДНЕ го изпитваше. (Ge 41:25)20Царят прати и го развързаха – управителят на племена, – и го освободиха. (Ge 41:14)21Постави го господар на дома си и управител на целия си имот, (Ge 41:40)22за да вързва първенците му по волята си и да поучава старейшините му на мъдрост.23Тогава Израил дойде в Египет. Да! Яков се пресели в Хамовата земя, (Ge 46:6; Ps 78:51; Ps 106:22)24където ГОСПОД умножи народа Си много и ги направи по-силни от противниците им. (Ex 1:7)25Обърна сърцето им да мразят народа Му, да постъпват коварно със слугите Му. (Ex 1:8)26Прати слугата Си Моисей и Аарон, когото беше избрал, (Ex 3:10; Ex 4:12; Ex 4:14; Nu 16:5; Nu 17:5)27които извършиха сред тях знаменията Му и чудесата Му в Хамовата земя. (Ex 7:1; Ps 78:43; Ps 106:22)28Той изпрати тъмнина и причини мрак, дано не се възпротивят на думите Му[1]. (Ex 10:22; Ps 99:7)29Превърна водите им в кръв и изтреби рибите им. (Ex 7:20; Ps 78:44)30Земята им започна да гъмжи от жаби чак до вътрешните стаи на царете им. (Ex 8:6; Ps 78:45)31Той каза и дойдоха рояци мухи и въшки по всичките им предели. (Ex 8:17; Ex 8:24; Ps 78:45)32Даде им град вместо дъжд и гръмотевици в земята им. (Ex 9:23; Ex 9:25; Ps 78:48)33Порази също така лозята им и смокините им и изпочупи всичките дървета в пределите им. (Ps 78:47)34Каза – и дойдоха скакалци и безчислени гъсеници, (Ex 10:4; Ex 10:13; Ex 10:14; Ps 78:46)35които изпоядоха цялата трева по земята им и изядоха плода на нивите им.36Порази и всички първородни в земята им, първородния на силата на всички тях. (Ge 49:3; Ex 12:29; Ps 78:51)37И изведе народа Си със сребро и злато; и нямаше нито един между племената им, който се спъваше по пътя. (Ex 12:35)38Развесели се Египет, когато си излязоха; защото страх от тях го беше нападнал. (Ex 12:33)39Разпростря облак да ги покрива и огън да им свети нощем. (Ex 13:21; Ne 9:12)40Те поискаха и Той им докара пъдпъдъци и с небесен хляб ги насити. (Ex 16:12; Ps 78:18; Ps 78:24; Ps 78:25; Ps 78:27)41Разцепи скалата и бликнаха води, потекоха в безводните места като река. (Ex 17:6; Nu 20:11; Ps 78:15; Ps 78:16; 1Co 10:4)42Защото си припомни Своето свято обещание към слугата Си Авраам. (Ge 15:14)43Така изведе народа Си с веселие, избраните Си – с пеене.44Даде им земите на народите; и те получиха плода, за който племената се бяха трудили, (De 6:10; De 6:11; Jos 13:7; Ps 78:55)45за да пазят Неговите наредби и да изпълняват законите Му. Алилуя. (De 4:1; De 4:10; De 6:21)
