Psalms 107

1 Thank the Lord, for he is good! His trustworthy love continues forever!

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

2 Let those the Lord has saved say that they are saved; those he has rescued from the power of the enemy.

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

3 He has gathered them together from distant lands, from the east and the west, the north and the south.

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

4 They wandered in the desert wilderness, unable to find a way to a city where they could live.

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

5 Hungry and thirsty, they became very discouraged.

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

6 Then they cried out to the Lord to help them in their troubles, and he saved them from their suffering.

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

7 He led them along a straight way to a city where they could live.

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

8 Let them praise the Lord for his trustworthy love, and for all the wonderful things he does for people.

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

9 For he gives drink to those who are thirsty, and food to those who are hungry.

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

10 Some sat in complete darkness, prisoners of misery and bound with iron chains,

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

11 for they had rebelled against what God had said; they had rejected the guidance 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 he humbled their pride with the troubles of life; they tripped over and no one was there to stop them falling.

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

13 Then they called out to the Lord for help in their troubles, and he saved them from their suffering.

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

14 He brought them out of complete darkness, he broke their chains to pieces.

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

15 Let them praise the Lord for his trustworthy love, and for all the wonderful things he does for people.

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

16 For he breaks down the bronze doors, and cuts through the iron bars.

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

17 They were stupid because they rebelled; they suffered for their sins.

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

18 They didn't want to eat; they were at death's door.

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

19 Then they called out to the Lord for help in their troubles, and he saved them from their suffering.

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

20 He gave the command and he healed them; he saved them from the grave.

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

21 Let them praise the Lord for his trustworthy love, and for all the wonderful things he does for people.

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

22 Let them present thank offerings and sing with joy about what he has done.

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

23 Those who set sail in ships, crossing the seas to earn their living,

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

24 they have seen the Lord's incredible power at work—the wonderful things he did in the deepest oceans.

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

25 He only had to speak to cause a stormy wind that stirred up towering waves,

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

26 lifting the ships high in the air and then plunging them down. The sailors were so terrified that their courage melted away.

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

27 They staggered around, falling from side to side like drunks—all their seamanship skills were useless.

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

28 Then they cried out to the Lord to help them in their troubles, and he saved them from their suffering.

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

29 He calmed the storm, the waves were quiet.

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

30 The sailors were so happy when it all calmed down, and he brought them to the harbor they wanted.

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

31 Let them praise the Lord for his trustworthy love, and for all the wonderful things he does for people.

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

32 Let them say how wonderful he is in front of the whole congregation and the elders.

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

33 He dries up rivers and turns the land into a desert; the water springs stop flowing and the earth turns dry and dusty.

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

34 Fruitful ground becomes a salty wasteland because of the wickedness of those living there.

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

35 But he also turns around and makes pools of water in the desert, and makes water springs flow in a dry and dusty land.

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

36 He brings hungry people to live there—a place they can build their cities.

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

37 They sow their fields and plant their vineyards, producing a good harvest.

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

38 He takes care of them, and their numbers increase dramatically—their cattle too!

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

39 When they become few, brought low by oppression, misery, and sorrow,

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

40 He pours out his contempt on their leaders, making them wander, lost in the wilderness.

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

41 But he lifts the poor out of their troubles, and makes their families as big as flocks.

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

42 Those who live right will observe what is happening and be glad, but the wicked will be silenced.

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

43 Those who are wise will pay attention to all this, and thoughtfully reflect on the Lord's trustworthy love.

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