Psalms 107

1 Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

١ ارْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ لأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، وَرَحْمَتَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ تَدُومُ.

2 Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the oppressor,

٢ لِيَقُلْ هَذَا مَفْدِيُّو الرَّبِّ، الَّذِينَ افْتَدَاهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ظَالِمِهِمْ.

3 And gathered out of the countries, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the sea.

٣ لَمَّ شَتَاتَهُمْ مِنَ الْبُلْدَانِ: مِنَ الشَّرْقِ وَالْغَرْبِ، مِنَ الشِّمَالِ وَالْجَنُوبِ.

4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way, they found no city of habitation;

٤ تَاهُوا فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ، فِي صَحْرَاءَ بِلَا طَرِيقٍ، وَلَمْ يَجِدُوا مَدِينَةً يَسْكُنُونَ فِيهَا.

5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them:

٥ جَاعُوا وَعَطِشُوا حَتَّى خَارَتْ نُفُوسُهُمْ فِي دَاخِلِهِمْ.

6 Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, [and] he delivered them out of their distresses,

٦ فَاسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ.

7 And he led them forth by a right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

٧ وَهَدَاهُمْ طَرِيقاً مُسْتَقِيماً لِيَتَوَجَّهُوا إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ لِلسَّكَنِ.

8 Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;

٨ فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ.

9 For he hath satisfied the longing soul and filled the hungry soul with good.

٩ لأَنَّهُ أَشْبَعَ النَّفْسَ الْمُتَلَهِّفَةَ وَمَلأَ النَّفْسَ الْجَائِعَةَ خَيْراً.

10 Such as inhabit darkness and the shadow of death, bound in affliction and iron,

١٠ كَانُوا جَالِسِينَ كَالأَسْرَى فِي الظَّلامِ وَظِلالِ الْمَوْتِ، مُوْثَقِينَ بِالذُّلِّ وَالْحَدِيدِ،

11 Because they had rebelled against the words of God, and had despised the counsel of the Most High; ...

١١ لأَنَّهُمْ تَمَرَّدُوا عَلَى كَلامِ اللهِ، وَاسْتَهَانُوا بِمَشُورَةِ الْعَلِيِّ.

12 And he bowed down their heart with labour; they stumbled, and there was none to help:

١٢ فَأَذَلَّ قُلُوبَهُمْ بِالْجَهْدِ الْمُضْنِي. تَعَثَّرُوا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْ مُعِينٍ.

13 Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, [and] he saved them out of their distresses;

١٣ ثُمَّ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ.

14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bands in sunder.

١٤ أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنَ الظَّلامِ وَظِلالِ الْمَوْتِ وَحَطَّمَ قُيُودَهُمْ.

15 Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;

١٥ فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ.

16 For he hath broken the gates of bronze, and cut asunder the bars of iron.

١٦ لأَنَّهُ كَسَّرَ أَبْوَابَ النُّحَاسِ، وَقَطَّعَ عَوَارِضَ الْحَدِيدِ.

17 Fools, because of their way of transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted;

١٧ سَفِهُوا فِي جَهْلِهِمْ وَسَقِمُوا مِنْ جَرَّاءِ آثَامِهِمْ.

18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of food, and they draw near unto the gates of death:

١٨ عَافَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ كُلَّ طَعَامٍ، فَصَارُوا عَلَى شَفَا الْمَوْتِ.

19 Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, [and] he saveth them out of their distresses;

١٩ ثُمَّ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ.

20 He sendeth his word, and healeth them, and delivereth them from their destructions.

٢٠ أَصْدَرَ أَمْرَهُ فَشَفَاهُمْ، وَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ مَهَالِكِهِمْ.

21 Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men,

٢١ فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ.

22 And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works in joyful song.

٢٢ وَلْيُقَرِّبُوا لَهُ ذَبَائِحَ الشُّكْرِ، وَيُحَدِّثُوا بِأَعْمَالِهِ بِتَرَانِيمِ الْفَرَحِ.

23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters,

٢٣ رَكِبَ بَعْضُهُمُ الْبِحَارَ فِي السُّفُنِ التِّجَارِيَّةِ، لِيَكْسَبُوا رِزْقَهُمْ،

24 These see the works of Jehovah, and his wonders in the deep.

٢٤ وَرَأَوْا أَعْمَالَ الرَّبِّ وَعَجَائِبَهُ فِي عُمْقِ الْمِيَاهِ.

25 For he speaketh, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof:

٢٥ فَإِنَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ أَثَارَ رِيحاً عَاصِفَةً فَأَهَاجَتْ أَمْوَاجَ الْبَحْرِ

26 They mount up to the heavens, they go down to the depths; their soul is melted because of trouble;

٢٦ فَارْتَفَعَتِ السُّفُنُ إِلَى الأَعَالِي، ثُمَّ هَبَطَتْ إِلَى الأَعْمَاقِ، حَتَّى ذَابَتْ نُفُوسُهُمْ مِنَ الْفَزَعِ.

27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and they are at their wits' end:

٢٧ تَمَايَلُوا وَتَرَنَّحُوا مِثْلَ السَّكْرَانِ، وَأَعْيَتْهُمُ الْحِيلَةُ.

28 Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses;

٢٨ ثُمَّ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ.

29 He maketh the storm a calm, and the waves thereof are still:

٢٩ هَدَّأَ الْعَاصِفَةَ الشَّدِيدَةَ، وَسَكَّنَ الأَمْوَاجَ.

30 And they rejoice because they are quiet; and he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

٣٠ فَفَرِحُوا بِهُدُوئِهَا، ثُمَّ اقْتَادَهُمْ إِلَى الْمَرْفَأ الْمَنْشُودِ.

31 Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;

٣١ فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ.

32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the session of the elders.

٣٢ وَلْيُعَظِّمُوهُ فِي مَحْفَلِ الشَّعْبِ، وَلْيُسَبِّحُوهُ فِي اجْتِمَاعِ الشُّيُوخِ.

33 He maketh rivers into a wilderness, and water-springs into dry ground;

٣٣ إِنَّهُ يُحَوِّلُ الأَنْهَارَ إِلَى قِفَارٍ، وَيَنَابِيعَ الْمَاءِ إِلَى أَرْضٍ عَطْشَى.

34 A fruitful land into a plain of salt, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

٣٤ يَجْعَلُ الْحُقُولَ الْخَصِيبَةَ أَرْضاً مَلِحَةً جَرْدَاءَ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ شَرِّ سُكَّانِهَا.

35 He maketh the wilderness into a pool of water, and the dry land into water-springs;

٣٥ يُحَوِّلُ الْبَرِّيَّةَ إِلَى وَاحَةٍ، وَالأَرْضَ الْقَاحِلَةَ يَنَابِيعَ مِيَاهٍ.

36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, and they establish a city of habitation;

٣٦ يُسْكِنُ هُنَاكَ الْجِيَاعَ فَيُنْشِئُونَ مَدِينَةً آهِلَةً.

37 And sow fields, and plant vineyards, which yield fruits of increase;

٣٧ وَيَزْرَعُونَ حُقُولاً وَيَغْرِسُونَ كُرُوماً تُنْتِجُ لَهُمْ غِلَالاً وَفِيرَةً.

38 And he blesseth them, so that they are multiplied greatly; and he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

٣٨ وَيُبَارِكُهُمْ أَيْضاً فَيَتَكَاثَرُونَ جِدّاً، وَلَا يَدَعُ مَوَاشِيَهُمْ تَتَنَاقَصُ.

39 And they are diminished and brought low, through oppression, adversity, and sorrow:

٣٩ عِنْدَمَا يَقِلُّ الشَّعْبُ وَيَذِلُّ بِفِعْلِ الضِّيقِ وَالْبَلايَا وَالأَحْزَانِ،

40 He poureth contempt upon nobles, and causeth them to wander in a pathless waste;

٤٠ يَصُبُّ اللهُ الْهَوَانَ عَلَى الرُّؤَسَاءِ، وَيُضِلُّهُمْ فِي أَرْضِ تِيهٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا طَرِيقٌ.

41 But he secureth the needy one on high from affliction, and maketh [him] families like flocks.

٤١ لَكِنَّهُ يُنْقِذُ الْمُحْتَاجِينَ مِنَ الْبُؤْسِ، وَيُكَثِّرُ عَشَائِرَهُمْ مِثْلَ قُطْعَانِ الْغَنَمِ.

42 The upright shall see it, and rejoice; and all unrighteousness shall stop its mouth.

٤٢ يَرَى الْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ هَذَا وَيَفْرَحُونَ، أَمَّا الأَثَمَةُ فَيَخْرَسُونَ.

43 Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, and let them understand the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah.

٤٣ فَلْيَتَأَمَّلْ كُلُّ حَكِيمٍ فِي هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ، وَيُمْعِنِ النَّظَرَ فِي مَرَاحِمِ الرَّبِّ.
