Psalms 107

1 O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

Give thanks to Yahweh for [he is] good for [is] for ever covenant loyalty his.

2 Let those whose cause the Lord has taken up say so, his people whom he has taken out of the hands of their haters;

Let them say [the] redeemed of Yahweh whom he has redeemed them from [the] hand of [the] opponent.

3 Making them come together out of all the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.

And from [the] lands he has gathered them from east and from west from north and from [the] sea.

4 They were wandering in the waste places; they saw no way to a resting-place.

They wandered about in the wilderness in a desolate place of a way a city of dwelling not they found.

5 Their souls became feeble for need of food and drink.

Hungry also thirsty life their in them it was fainting away.

6 Then they sent up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gave them salvation out of all their troubles;

And they cried out to Yahweh when it was distress to them from troubles their he delivered them.

7 Guiding them in the right way, so that they might come into the town of their resting-place.

And he led them by a way straight to go to a city of dwelling.

8 Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!

Let them give thanks to Yahweh covenant loyalty his and wonders his to [the] children of humankind.

9 He gives its desire to the unresting soul, so that it is full of good things.

For he satisfies a throat longing and a throat hungry he fills good thing[s].

10 Those who were in the dark, in the black night, in chains of sorrow and iron;

[those who] sat of Darkness and deep darkness prisoners of affliction and iron.

11 Because they went against the words of God, and gave no thought to the laws of the Most High:

For they had rebelled against [the] words of God and [the] counsel of [the] Most High they had spurned.

12 So that he made their hearts weighted down with grief; they were falling, and had no helper.

And he humbled with trouble heart their they stumbled and there not [was] a helper.

13 Then they sent up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gave them salvation out of all their troubles.

And they cried out to Yahweh when it was distress to them from troubles their he saved them.

14 He took them out of the dark and the black night, and all their chains were broken.

He brought out them from darkness and deep darkness and fetters their he tore apart.

15 Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!

Let them give thanks to Yahweh covenant loyalty his and wonders his to [the] children of humankind.

16 The doors of brass are broken by his arm, and the bands of iron are cut in two.

For he breaks down gates of bronze and bars of iron he cuts down.

17 Foolish men, because of their sins, and because of their wrongdoing, are troubled;

Fools from [the] way of transgression their and from iniquities their they were afflicted.

18 They are disgusted by all food, and they come near to the doors of death.

All food it loathed throat their and they reached to [the] gates of death.

19 Then they send up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gives them salvation out of all their troubles.

And they cried out to Yahweh when it was distress to them from troubles their he saved them.

20 He sent his word and made them well, and kept them safe from the underworld.

He sent word his and he healed them and he may deliver [them] (from pits their. *LAH(b)*)

21 Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!

Let them give thanks to Yahweh covenant loyalty his and wonders his to [the] children of (humankind. *LAH(b)*)

22 Let them make offerings of praise, giving news of his works with cries of joy.

And let them sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving and let them recount works his (with a shout of joy. *L(abh)*)

23 Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business in the great waters;

[those who] went down the Sea in ships [those who] did business on [the] waters (many. *L(abh)*)

24 They see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.

They they saw [the] works of Yahweh and wonders his (in [the] deep. *L(abh)*)

25 For at his word comes up the storm-wind, lifting high the waves.

And he spoke and he appointed a wind of a storm and it lifted up (waves its. *L(abh)*)

26 The sailors go up to heaven, and down into the deep; their souls are wasted because of their trouble.

They went up [the] heavens they went down [the] deeps soul their in distress (it melted. *LB(ah)*)

27 They are turned here and there, rolling like a man who is full of wine; and all their wisdom comes to nothing.

They staggered and they may trembled like drunkard and all skill their (it was confused. *LB(ah)*)

28 Then they send up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gives them salvation out of all their troubles.

And they cried out to Yahweh when it was distress to them and from troubles their he brought out them.

29 He makes the storm into a calm, so that the waves are at peace.

He raised [the] storm into a calm and they were still waves their.

30 Then they are glad, because the sea is quiet, and he takes them to the harbour of their desire.

And they rejoiced for they were quiet and he guided them to [the] harbor of desire their.

31 Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!

Let them give thanks to Yahweh covenant loyalty his and wonders his to [the] children of humankind.

32 Let them give glory to him in the meeting of the people, and praise among the chiefs.

And let them exalt him in [the] assembly of [the] people and in [the] seat of [the] elders let them praise him.

33 He makes rivers into waste places, and springs of water into a dry land;

He made rivers into a wilderness and springs of water into thirsty ground.

34 He makes a fertile country into a salt waste, because of the sins of those who are living there.

A land of fruit into saltiness from [the] evil of [those who] dwell in it.

35 He makes a waste land into a place of water, and a dry land into water-springs.

He made a wilderness into a pool of water and a land dry into springs of water.

36 And there he gives the poor a resting-place, so that they may make themselves a town;

And he caused to dwell there hungry [people] and they established a city of dwelling.

37 And put seed in the fields and make vine-gardens, to give them fruit.

And they sowed fields and they planted vineyards and they produced fruit of produce.

38 He gives them his blessing so that they are increased greatly, and their cattle do not become less.

And he blessed them and they multiplied exceedingly and cattle their not he made few.

39 And when they are made low, and crushed by trouble and sorrow,

And they became few and they were bowed down from [the] pressure of calamity (and sorrow. *L(abh)*)

40 He puts an end to the pride of kings, and sends them wandering in the waste lands where there is no way.

[he was] pouring out Contempt on noble [people] and he made wander them in a wasteland not a way.

41 But he puts the poor man on high from his troubles, and gives him families like a flock.

And he set on high [the] needy from affliction and he made like flock families.

42 The upright see it and are glad: the mouth of the sinner is stopped.

They see upright [people] so they may rejoice and all unrighteousness it shuts mouth its.

43 Let the wise give thought to these things, and see the mercies of the Lord.

Who? [is] wise and let him observe these [things] and let them consider carefully [the] covenant loyalti of Yahweh.
