Psalms 107
1 “Give thanks to YHWH, For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time”:
| ارْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ لأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، وَرَحْمَتَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ تَدُومُ. | ١ |
2 Let the redeemed of YHWH say [so], Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary.
| لِيَقُلْ هَذَا مَفْدِيُّو الرَّبِّ، الَّذِينَ افْتَدَاهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ظَالِمِهِمْ. | ٢ |
3 And has gathered them from the lands, From east and from west, From north, and from the sea.
| لَمَّ شَتَاتَهُمْ مِنَ الْبُلْدَانِ: مِنَ الشَّرْقِ وَالْغَرْبِ، مِنَ الشِّمَالِ وَالْجَنُوبِ. | ٣ |
4 They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, They have not found a city of habitation.
| تَاهُوا فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ، فِي صَحْرَاءَ بِلَا طَرِيقٍ، وَلَمْ يَجِدُوا مَدِينَةً يَسْكُنُونَ فِيهَا. | ٤ |
5 Hungry—indeed—thirsty, Their soul becomes feeble in them,
| جَاعُوا وَعَطِشُوا حَتَّى خَارَتْ نُفُوسُهُمْ فِي دَاخِلِهِمْ. | ٥ |
6 And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, He delivers them from their distress,
| فَاسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ. | ٦ |
7 And causes them to tread in a right way, To go to a city of habitation.
| وَهَدَاهُمْ طَرِيقاً مُسْتَقِيماً لِيَتَوَجَّهُوا إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ لِلسَّكَنِ. | ٧ |
8 They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
| فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. | ٨ |
9 For He has satisfied a longing soul, And has filled a hungry soul [with] goodness.
| لأَنَّهُ أَشْبَعَ النَّفْسَ الْمُتَلَهِّفَةَ وَمَلأَ النَّفْسَ الْجَائِعَةَ خَيْراً. | ٩ |
10 Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of affliction and of iron,
| كَانُوا جَالِسِينَ كَالأَسْرَى فِي الظَّلامِ وَظِلالِ الْمَوْتِ، مُوْثَقِينَ بِالذُّلِّ وَالْحَدِيدِ، | ١٠ |
11 Because they changed the saying of God, And despised the counsel of the Most High.
| لأَنَّهُمْ تَمَرَّدُوا عَلَى كَلامِ اللهِ، وَاسْتَهَانُوا بِمَشُورَةِ الْعَلِيِّ. | ١١ |
12 And He humbles their heart with labor, They have been feeble, and there is no helper.
| فَأَذَلَّ قُلُوبَهُمْ بِالْجَهْدِ الْمُضْنِي. تَعَثَّرُوا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْ مُعِينٍ. | ١٢ |
13 And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, He saves them from their distresses.
| ثُمَّ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ. | ١٣ |
14 He brings them out from the dark place, And death-shade, And He draws away their bands.
| أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنَ الظَّلامِ وَظِلالِ الْمَوْتِ وَحَطَّمَ قُيُودَهُمْ. | ١٤ |
15 They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
| فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. | ١٥ |
16 For He has broken doors of bronze, And He has cut bars of iron.
| لأَنَّهُ كَسَّرَ أَبْوَابَ النُّحَاسِ، وَقَطَّعَ عَوَارِضَ الْحَدِيدِ. | ١٦ |
17 Fools, by means of their transgression, And by their iniquities, afflict themselves.
| سَفِهُوا فِي جَهْلِهِمْ وَسَقِمُوا مِنْ جَرَّاءِ آثَامِهِمْ. | ١٧ |
18 Their soul detests all food, And they come near to the gates of death,
| عَافَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ كُلَّ طَعَامٍ، فَصَارُوا عَلَى شَفَا الْمَوْتِ. | ١٨ |
19 And cry to YHWH in their adversity, He saves them from their distresses,
| ثُمَّ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ. | ١٩ |
20 He sends His word and heals them, And delivers [them] from their destructions.
| أَصْدَرَ أَمْرَهُ فَشَفَاهُمْ، وَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ مَهَالِكِهِمْ. | ٢٠ |
21 They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
| فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. | ٢١ |
22 And they sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving, And recount His works with singing.
| وَلْيُقَرِّبُوا لَهُ ذَبَائِحَ الشُّكْرِ، وَيُحَدِّثُوا بِأَعْمَالِهِ بِتَرَانِيمِ الْفَرَحِ. | ٢٢ |
23 Those going down [to] the sea in ships, Doing business in many waters,
| رَكِبَ بَعْضُهُمُ الْبِحَارَ فِي السُّفُنِ التِّجَارِيَّةِ، لِيَكْسَبُوا رِزْقَهُمْ، | ٢٣ |
24 They have seen the works of YHWH, And His wonders in the deep.
| وَرَأَوْا أَعْمَالَ الرَّبِّ وَعَجَائِبَهُ فِي عُمْقِ الْمِيَاهِ. | ٢٤ |
25 And He commands, and appoints a storm, And it lifts up its billows,
| فَإِنَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ أَثَارَ رِيحاً عَاصِفَةً فَأَهَاجَتْ أَمْوَاجَ الْبَحْرِ | ٢٥ |
26 They go up [to] the heavens, they go down [to] the depths, Their soul is melted in evil.
| فَارْتَفَعَتِ السُّفُنُ إِلَى الأَعَالِي، ثُمَّ هَبَطَتْ إِلَى الأَعْمَاقِ، حَتَّى ذَابَتْ نُفُوسُهُمْ مِنَ الْفَزَعِ. | ٢٦ |
27 They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.
| تَمَايَلُوا وَتَرَنَّحُوا مِثْلَ السَّكْرَانِ، وَأَعْيَتْهُمُ الْحِيلَةُ. | ٢٧ |
28 And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, And He brings them out from their distresses.
| ثُمَّ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ. | ٢٨ |
29 He calms a whirlwind, And their billows are hushed.
| هَدَّأَ الْعَاصِفَةَ الشَّدِيدَةَ، وَسَكَّنَ الأَمْوَاجَ. | ٢٩ |
30 And they rejoice because they are quiet, And He leads them to the haven of their desire.
| فَفَرِحُوا بِهُدُوئِهَا، ثُمَّ اقْتَادَهُمْ إِلَى الْمَرْفَأ الْمَنْشُودِ. | ٣٠ |
31 They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
| فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. | ٣١ |
32 And they exalt Him in [the] assembly of [the] people, And praise Him in [the] seat of [the] elderly.
| وَلْيُعَظِّمُوهُ فِي مَحْفَلِ الشَّعْبِ، وَلْيُسَبِّحُوهُ فِي اجْتِمَاعِ الشُّيُوخِ. | ٣٢ |
33 He makes rivers become a wilderness, And fountains of waters become dry land.
| إِنَّهُ يُحَوِّلُ الأَنْهَارَ إِلَى قِفَارٍ، وَيَنَابِيعَ الْمَاءِ إِلَى أَرْضٍ عَطْشَى. | ٣٣ |
34 A fruitful land becomes a barren place, For the wickedness of its inhabitants.
| يَجْعَلُ الْحُقُولَ الْخَصِيبَةَ أَرْضاً مَلِحَةً جَرْدَاءَ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ شَرِّ سُكَّانِهَا. | ٣٤ |
35 He makes a wilderness become a pool of water, And a dry land become fountains of waters.
| يُحَوِّلُ الْبَرِّيَّةَ إِلَى وَاحَةٍ، وَالأَرْضَ الْقَاحِلَةَ يَنَابِيعَ مِيَاهٍ. | ٣٥ |
36 And He causes the hungry to dwell there, And they prepare a city of habitation.
| يُسْكِنُ هُنَاكَ الْجِيَاعَ فَيُنْشِئُونَ مَدِينَةً آهِلَةً. | ٣٦ |
37 And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, And they make fruits of increase.
| وَيَزْرَعُونَ حُقُولاً وَيَغْرِسُونَ كُرُوماً تُنْتِجُ لَهُمْ غِلَالاً وَفِيرَةً. | ٣٧ |
38 And He blesses them, and they multiply exceedingly, And He does not diminish their livestock.
| وَيُبَارِكُهُمْ أَيْضاً فَيَتَكَاثَرُونَ جِدّاً، وَلَا يَدَعُ مَوَاشِيَهُمْ تَتَنَاقَصُ. | ٣٨ |
39 And they are diminished, and bow down, By restraint, evil, and sorrow.
| عِنْدَمَا يَقِلُّ الشَّعْبُ وَيَذِلُّ بِفِعْلِ الضِّيقِ وَالْبَلايَا وَالأَحْزَانِ، | ٣٩ |
40 He is pouring contempt on nobles, And causes them to wander in vacancy—no way.
| يَصُبُّ اللهُ الْهَوَانَ عَلَى الرُّؤَسَاءِ، وَيُضِلُّهُمْ فِي أَرْضِ تِيهٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا طَرِيقٌ. | ٤٠ |
41 And sets the needy on high from affliction, And places families as a flock.
| لَكِنَّهُ يُنْقِذُ الْمُحْتَاجِينَ مِنَ الْبُؤْسِ، وَيُكَثِّرُ عَشَائِرَهُمْ مِثْلَ قُطْعَانِ الْغَنَمِ. | ٤١ |
42 The upright see and rejoice, And all perversity has shut her mouth.
| يَرَى الْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ هَذَا وَيَفْرَحُونَ، أَمَّا الأَثَمَةُ فَيَخْرَسُونَ. | ٤٢ |
43 Who [is] wise, and observes these? They understand the kind acts of YHWH!
| فَلْيَتَأَمَّلْ كُلُّ حَكِيمٍ فِي هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ، وَيُمْعِنِ النَّظَرَ فِي مَرَاحِمِ الرَّبِّ. | ٤٣ |
