Psalms 107
1 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.
| הֹדוּ לַיהוָה כִּי־טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃ |
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy
| יֹאמְרוּ גְּאוּלֵי יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר גְּאָלָם מִיַּד־צָֽר׃ |
3 and gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south.
| וּֽמֵאֲרָצוֹת קִבְּצָם מִמִּזְרָח וּמִֽמַּעֲרָב מִצָּפוֹן וּמִיָּֽם׃ |
4 Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no path to a city in which to dwell.
| תָּעוּ בַמִּדְבָּר בִּישִׁימוֹן דָּרֶךְ עִיר מוֹשָׁב לֹא מָצָֽאוּ׃ |
5 They were hungry and thirsty; their soul fainted within them.
| רְעֵבִים גַּם־צְמֵאִים נַפְשָׁם בָּהֶם תִּתְעַטָּֽף׃ |
6 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress.
| וַיִּצְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם מִמְּצֽוּקוֹתֵיהֶם יַצִּילֵֽם׃ |
7 He led them on a straight path to reach a city where they could live.
| וַיּֽ͏ַדְרִיכֵם בְּדֶרֶךְ יְשָׁרָה לָלֶכֶת אֶל־עִיר מוֹשָֽׁב׃ |
8 Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.
| יוֹדוּ לַיהוָה חַסְדּוֹ וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָֽם׃ |
9 For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
| כִּי־הִשְׂבִּיעַ נֶפֶשׁ שֹׁקֵקָה וְנֶפֶשׁ רְעֵבָה מִלֵּא־טֽוֹב׃ |
10 Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and chains,
| יֹשְׁבֵי חֹשֶׁךְ וְצַלְמָוֶת אֲסִירֵי עֳנִי וּבַרְזֶֽל׃ |
11 because they rebelled against the words of God and despised the counsel of the Most High.
| כִּֽי־הִמְרוּ אִמְרֵי־אֵל וַעֲצַת עֶלְיוֹן נָאָֽצוּ׃ |
12 He humbled their hearts with hard labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help.
| וַיַּכְנַע בֶּעָמָל לִבָּם כָּשְׁלוּ וְאֵין עֹזֵֽר׃ |
13 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress.
| וַיִּזְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם מִמְּצֻֽקוֹתֵיהֶם יוֹשִׁיעֵֽם׃ |
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death and broke away their chains.
| יֽוֹצִיאֵם מֵחֹשֶׁךְ וְצַלְמָוֶת וּמוֹסְרוֹתֵיהֶם יְנַתֵּֽק׃ |
15 Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.
| יוֹדוּ לַיהוָה חַסְדּוֹ וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָֽם׃ |
16 For He has broken down the gates of bronze and cut through the bars of iron.
| כִּֽי־שִׁבַּר דַּלְתוֹת נְחֹשֶׁת וּבְרִיחֵי בַרְזֶל גִּדֵּֽעַ׃ |
17 Fools, in their rebellious ways, and through their iniquities, suffered affliction.
| אֱוִלִים מִדֶּרֶךְ פִּשְׁעָם וּֽמֵעֲוֺֽנֹתֵיהֶם יִתְעַנּֽוּ׃ |
18 They loathed all food and drew near to the gates of death.
| כָּל־אֹכֶל תְּתַעֵב נַפְשָׁם וַיַּגִּיעוּ עַד־שַׁעֲרֵי מָֽוֶת׃ |
19 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress.
| וַיִּזְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם מִמְּצֻֽקוֹתֵיהֶם יוֹשִׁיעֵֽם׃ |
20 He sent forth His word and healed them; He rescued them from the Pit.
| יִשְׁלַח דְּבָרוֹ וְיִרְפָּאֵם וִֽימַלֵּט מִשְּׁחִיתוֹתָֽם׃ |
21 Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.
| יוֹדוּ לַיהוָה חַסְדּוֹ וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָֽם׃ |
22 Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and declare His works with rejoicing.
| וְיִזְבְּחוּ זִבְחֵי תוֹדָה וִֽיסַפְּרוּ מַעֲשָׂיו בְּרִנָּֽה׃ |
23 Others went out to sea in ships, conducting trade on the mighty waters.
| יוֹרְדֵי הַיָּם בָּאֳנִיּוֹת עֹשֵׂי מְלָאכָה בְּמַיִם רַבִּֽים׃ |
24 They saw the works of the LORD, and His wonders in the deep.
| הֵמָּה רָאוּ מַעֲשֵׂי יְהוָה וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו בִּמְצוּלָֽה׃ |
25 For He spoke and raised a tempest that lifted the waves of the sea.
| וַיֹּאמֶר וַֽיַּעֲמֵד רוּחַ סְעָרָה וַתְּרוֹמֵם גַּלָּֽיו׃ |
26 They mounted up to the heavens, then sunk to the depths; their courage melted in their anguish.
| יַעֲלוּ שָׁמַיִם יֵרְדוּ תְהוֹמוֹת נַפְשָׁם בְּרָעָה תִתְמוֹגָֽג׃ |
27 They reeled and staggered like drunkards, and all their skill was useless.
| יָחוֹגּוּ וְיָנוּעוּ כַּשִּׁכּוֹר וְכָל־חָכְמָתָם תִּתְבַּלָּֽע׃ |
28 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distress.
| וַיִּצְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם וּֽמִמְּצֽוּקֹתֵיהֶם יוֹצִיאֵֽם׃ |
29 He calmed the storm to a whisper, and the waves of the sea were hushed.
| יָקֵם סְעָרָה לִדְמָמָה וַיֶּחֱשׁוּ גַּלֵּיהֶֽם׃ |
30 They rejoiced in the silence, and He guided them to the harbor they desired.
| וַיִּשְׂמְחוּ כִֽי־יִשְׁתֹּקוּ וַיַּנְחֵם אֶל־מְחוֹז חֶפְצָֽם׃ |
31 Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.
| יוֹדוּ לַיהוָה חַסְדּוֹ וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָֽם׃ |
32 Let them exalt Him in the assembly of the people and praise Him in the council of the elders.
| וִֽירֹמְמוּהוּ בִּקְהַל־עָם וּבְמוֹשַׁב זְקֵנִים יְהַלְלֽוּהוּ׃ |
33 He turns rivers into deserts, springs of water into thirsty ground,
| יָשֵׂם נְהָרוֹת לְמִדְבָּר וּמֹצָאֵי מַיִם לְצִמָּאֽוֹן׃ |
34 and fruitful land into fields of salt, because of the wickedness of its dwellers.
| אֶרֶץ פְּרִי לִמְלֵחָה מֵרָעַת יֹשְׁבֵי בָֽהּ׃ |
35 He turns a desert into pools of water and a dry land into flowing springs.
| יָשֵׂם מִדְבָּר לַֽאֲגַם־מַיִם וְאֶרֶץ צִיָּה לְמֹצָאֵי מָֽיִם׃ |
36 He causes the hungry to settle there, that they may establish a city in which to dwell.
| וַיּוֹשֶׁב שָׁם רְעֵבִים וַיְכוֹנְנוּ עִיר מוֹשָֽׁב׃ |
37 They sow fields and plant vineyards that yield a fruitful harvest.
| וַיִּזְרְעוּ שָׂדוֹת וַיִּטְּעוּ כְרָמִים וַיַּעֲשׂוּ פְּרִי תְבֽוּאָה׃ |
38 He blesses them, and they multiply greatly; He does not let their herds diminish.
| וַיְבָרֲכֵם וַיִּרְבּוּ מְאֹד וּבְהֶמְתָּם לֹא יַמְעִֽיט׃ |
39 When they are decreased and humbled by oppression, evil, and sorrow,
| וַיִּמְעֲטוּ וַיָּשֹׁחוּ מֵעֹצֶר רָעָה וְיָגֽוֹן׃ |
40 He pours out contempt on the nobles and makes them wander in a trackless wasteland.
| שֹׁפֵךְ בּוּז עַל־נְדִיבִים וַיַּתְעֵם בְּתֹהוּ לֹא־דָֽרֶךְ׃ |
41 But He lifts the needy from affliction and increases their families like flocks.
| וַיְשַׂגֵּב אֶבְיוֹן מֵעוֹנִי וַיָּשֶׂם כַּצֹּאן מִשְׁפָּחֽוֹת׃ |
42 The upright see and rejoice, and all iniquity shuts its mouth.
| יִרְאוּ יְשָׁרִים וְיִשְׂמָחוּ וְכָל־עַוְלָה קָפְצָה פִּֽיהָ׃ |
43 Let him who is wise pay heed to these things and consider the loving devotion of the LORD.
| מִי־חָכָם וְיִשְׁמָר־אֵלֶּה וְיִתְבּֽוֹנְנוּ חַֽסְדֵי יְהוָֽה׃ |
