Psalms 107

1 Praise the Lord, because he is good: for his mercie endureth for euer.

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

2 Let them, which haue bene redeemed of the Lord, shewe how he hath deliuered them from the hand of the oppressour,

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

3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the East and from the West, from the North and from the South.

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

4 When they wandered in the desert and wildernesse out of the waie, and founde no citie to dwell in,

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

5 Both hungrie and thirstie, their soule fainted in them.

٥ جَاعُوا وَعَطِشُوا حَتَّى خَارَتْ نُفُوسُهُمْ فِي دَاخِلِهِمْ.

6 Then they cried vnto the Lord in their trouble, and he deliuered them from their distresse,

٦ فَاسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ.

7 And led them forth by the right way, that they might goe to a citie of habitation.

٧ وَهَدَاهُمْ طَرِيقاً مُسْتَقِيماً لِيَتَوَجَّهُوا إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ لِلسَّكَنِ.

8 Let them therefore confesse before ye Lord his louing kindnesse, and his wonderfull woorkes before the sonnes of men.

٨ فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ.

9 For he satisfied the thirstie soule, and filled the hungrie soule with goodnesse.

٩ لأَنَّهُ أَشْبَعَ النَّفْسَ الْمُتَلَهِّفَةَ وَمَلأَ النَّفْسَ الْجَائِعَةَ خَيْراً.

10 They that dwell in darkenesse and in the shadowe of death, being bounde in miserie and yron,

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

11 Because they rebelled against the wordes of the Lord, and despised the counsell of the most High,

١١ لأَنَّهُمْ تَمَرَّدُوا عَلَى كَلامِ اللهِ، وَاسْتَهَانُوا بِمَشُورَةِ الْعَلِيِّ.

12 When he humbled their heart with heauines, then they fell downe and there was no helper.

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

13 Then they cried vnto the Lord in their trouble, and he deliuered them from their distresse.

١٣ ثُمَّ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ.

14 He brought them out of darkenes, and out of the shadowe of death, and brake their bandes asunder.

١٤ أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنَ الظَّلامِ وَظِلالِ الْمَوْتِ وَحَطَّمَ قُيُودَهُمْ.

15 Let them therefore cofesse before the Lord his louing kindnesse, and his wonderfull woorkes before the sonnes of men.

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

16 For hee hath broken the gates of brasse, and brast the barres of yron asunder.

١٦ لأَنَّهُ كَسَّرَ أَبْوَابَ النُّحَاسِ، وَقَطَّعَ عَوَارِضَ الْحَدِيدِ.

17 Fooles by reason of their transgression, and because of their iniquities are afflicted.

١٧ سَفِهُوا فِي جَهْلِهِمْ وَسَقِمُوا مِنْ جَرَّاءِ آثَامِهِمْ.

18 Their soule abhorreth al meat, and they are brought to deaths doore.

١٨ عَافَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ كُلَّ طَعَامٍ، فَصَارُوا عَلَى شَفَا الْمَوْتِ.

19 Then they crie vnto the Lord in their trouble, and he deliuereth them from their distresse.

١٩ ثُمَّ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ.

20 He sendeth his worde and healeth them, and deliuereth them from their graues.

٢٠ أَصْدَرَ أَمْرَهُ فَشَفَاهُمْ، وَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ مَهَالِكِهِمْ.

21 Let them therefore cofesse before the Lord his louing kindnesse, and his wonderful workes before the sonnes of men,

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

22 And let them offer sacrifices of praise, and declare his workes with reioycing.

٢٢ وَلْيُقَرِّبُوا لَهُ ذَبَائِحَ الشُّكْرِ، وَيُحَدِّثُوا بِأَعْمَالِهِ بِتَرَانِيمِ الْفَرَحِ.

23 They that goe downe to the sea in ships, and occupie by the great waters,

٢٣ رَكِبَ بَعْضُهُمُ الْبِحَارَ فِي السُّفُنِ التِّجَارِيَّةِ، لِيَكْسَبُوا رِزْقَهُمْ،

24 They see the woorkes of the Lord, and his wonders in the deepe.

٢٤ وَرَأَوْا أَعْمَالَ الرَّبِّ وَعَجَائِبَهُ فِي عُمْقِ الْمِيَاهِ.

25 For he commaundeth and raiseth the stormie winde, and it lifteth vp the waues thereof.

٢٥ فَإِنَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ أَثَارَ رِيحاً عَاصِفَةً فَأَهَاجَتْ أَمْوَاجَ الْبَحْرِ

26 They mount vp to the heauen, and descend to ye deepe, so that their soule melteth for trouble.

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

27 They are tossed to and from, and stagger like a drunken man, and all their cunning is gone.

٢٧ تَمَايَلُوا وَتَرَنَّحُوا مِثْلَ السَّكْرَانِ، وَأَعْيَتْهُمُ الْحِيلَةُ.

28 Then they crie vnto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresse.

٢٨ ثُمَّ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ.

29 He turneth the storme to calme, so that the waues thereof are still.

٢٩ هَدَّأَ الْعَاصِفَةَ الشَّدِيدَةَ، وَسَكَّنَ الأَمْوَاجَ.

30 When they are quieted, they are glad, and hee bringeth them vnto the hauen, where they would be.

٣٠ فَفَرِحُوا بِهُدُوئِهَا، ثُمَّ اقْتَادَهُمْ إِلَى الْمَرْفَأ الْمَنْشُودِ.

31 Let them therfore confesse before the Lord his louing kindnesse, and his wonderfull woorkes before the sonnes of men.

٣١ فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ.

32 And let them exalt him in the Congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the Elders.

٣٢ وَلْيُعَظِّمُوهُ فِي مَحْفَلِ الشَّعْبِ، وَلْيُسَبِّحُوهُ فِي اجْتِمَاعِ الشُّيُوخِ.

33 He turneth the floodes into a wildernesse, and the springs of waters into drinesse,

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

34 And a fruitfull land into barrennes for the wickednes of them that dwell therein.

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

35 Againe hee turneth the wildernesse into pooles of water, and the drie lande into water springs.

٣٥ يُحَوِّلُ الْبَرِّيَّةَ إِلَى وَاحَةٍ، وَالأَرْضَ الْقَاحِلَةَ يَنَابِيعَ مِيَاهٍ.

36 And there he placeth the hungrie, and they builde a citie to dwell in,

٣٦ يُسْكِنُ هُنَاكَ الْجِيَاعَ فَيُنْشِئُونَ مَدِينَةً آهِلَةً.

37 And sowe the fieldes, and plant vineyardes, which bring foorth fruitfull increase.

٣٧ وَيَزْرَعُونَ حُقُولاً وَيَغْرِسُونَ كُرُوماً تُنْتِجُ لَهُمْ غِلَالاً وَفِيرَةً.

38 For he blesseth them, and they multiplie exceedingly, and he diminisheth not their cattell.

٣٨ وَيُبَارِكُهُمْ أَيْضاً فَيَتَكَاثَرُونَ جِدّاً، وَلَا يَدَعُ مَوَاشِيَهُمْ تَتَنَاقَصُ.

39 Againe men are diminished, and brought lowe by oppression, euill and sorowe.

٣٩ عِنْدَمَا يَقِلُّ الشَّعْبُ وَيَذِلُّ بِفِعْلِ الضِّيقِ وَالْبَلايَا وَالأَحْزَانِ،

40 He powreth contempt vpon princes, and causeth them to erre in desert places out of the way.

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

41 Yet he raiseth vp the poore out of miserie, and maketh him families like a flocke of sheepe.

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

42 The righteous shall see it, and reioyce, and all iniquitie shall stoppe her mouth.

٤٢ يَرَى الْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ هَذَا وَيَفْرَحُونَ، أَمَّا الأَثَمَةُ فَيَخْرَسُونَ.

43 Who is wise that hee may obserue these things? for they shall vnderstand the louing kindnesse of the Lord.

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