Psalms 107

1 O give thanks to Yahweh—For he is good, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

١ اِحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ لِأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، لِأَنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ.

2 Let the redeemed of Yahweh say, Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary;

٢ لِيَقُلْ مَفْدِيُّو ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱلَّذِينَ فَدَاهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ،

3 And, out of the lands, hath gathered them—From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.

٣ وَمِنَ ٱلْبُلْدَانِ جَمَعَهُمْ، مِنَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَمِنَ ٱلْمَغْرِبِ، مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَمِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ.

4 They wandered about in the desert—in a waste, Way to a city to dwell in, found they none;

٤ تَاهُوا فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ فِي قَفْرٍ بِلَا طَرِيقٍ. لَمْ يَجِدُوا مَدِينَةَ سَكَنٍ.

5 Hungry—yea thirsty, their soul, within them, fainted:

٥ جِيَاعٌ عِطَاشٌ أَيْضًا أَعْيَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ فِيهِمْ.

6 Then made they outcry to Yahweh, in their peril, Out of their distresses, he rescued them;

٦ فَصَرَخُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ،

7 And led them by a straight road, That they might journey to a city to dwell in.

٧ وَهَدَاهُمْ طَرِيقًا مُسْتَقِيمًا لِيَذْهَبُوا إِلَى مَدِينَةِ سَكَنٍ.

8 Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his lovingkindness, and for his wonderful dealings with the sons of men;

٨ فَلْيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ.

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

٩ لِأَنَّهُ أَشْبَعَ نَفْسًا مُشْتَهِيَةً وَمَلَأَ نَفْسًا جَائِعَةً خَيْرًا،

10 The dwellers in darkness and death-shade, bound with oppression and iron;

١٠ ٱلْجُلُوسَ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ وَظِلَالِ ٱلْمَوْتِ، مُوثَقِينَ بِٱلذُّلِّ وَٱلْحَدِيدِ.

11 Because they had rebelled against the sayings of GOD, —and, the counsel of the Most High, they had spurned;

١١ لِأَنَّهُمْ عَصَوْا كَلَامَ ٱللهِ، وَأَهَانُوا مَشُورَةَ ٱلْعَلِيِّ.

12 And he bowed down, with labour, their heart, They staggered, with no one to help,

١٢ فَأَذَلَّ قُلُوبَهُمْ بِتَعَبٍ. عَثَرُوا وَلَا مَعِينَ.

13 Then made they outcry to Yahweh in their peril, Out of their distresses, he saved them;

١٣ ثُمَّ صَرَخُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ.

14 He brought them forth out of darkness and death-shade, and, their fetters, he tare off.

١٤ أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنَ ٱلظُّلْمَةِ وَظِلَالِ ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَقَطَّعَ قُيُودَهُمْ.

15 Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his lovingkindness, and for his wonderful dealings with the sons of men!

١٥ فَلْيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ.

16 For he brake in pieces the doors of bronze, And, the bars of iron, he hewed asunder.

١٦ لِأَنَّهُ كَسَّرَ مَصَارِيعَ نُحَاسٍ، وَقَطَّعَ عَوَارِضَ حَدِيدٍ.

17 The perverse, by reason of their transgression, and on account of their iniquities, are afflicted;

١٧ وَٱلْجُهَّالُ مِنْ طَرِيقِ مَعْصِيَتِهِمْ، وَمِنْ آثَامِهِمْ يُذَلُّونَ.

18 All manner of food, their soul abhorreth, and so they draw near unto the gates of death,

١٨ كَرِهَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ كُلَّ طَعَامٍ، وَٱقْتَرَبُوا إِلَى أَبْوَابِ ٱلْمَوْتِ.

19 Then make they outcry to Yahweh in their peril, and, out of their distresses, he saveth them.

١٩ فَصَرَخُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ.

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

٢٠ أَرْسَلَ كَلِمَتَهُ فَشَفَاهُمْ، وَنَجَّاهُمْ مِنْ تَهْلُكَاتِهِمْ.

21 Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his lovingkindness, and for his wonderful dealings with the sons of men!

٢١ فَلْيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ.

22 Yea let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and recount his works with a shout.

٢٢ وَلْيَذْبَحُوا لَهُ ذَبَائِحَ ٱلْحَمْدِ، وَلْيَعُدُّوا أَعْمَالَهُ بِتَرَنُّمٍ.

23 Men who go down to the sea, in ships, doing business through mighty waters;

٢٣ اَلنَّازِلُونَ إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ فِي ٱلسُّفُنِ، ٱلْعَامِلُونَ عَمَلًا فِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ،

24 They, see the works of Yahweh, and his wonders in the deep;

٢٤ هُمْ رَأَوْا أَعْمَالَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَعَجَائِبَهُ فِي ٱلْعُمْقِ.

25 And he speaketh, and there ariseth a tempestuous wind, which lifteth on high its rolling waves;

٢٥ أَمَرَ فَأَهَاجَ رِيحًا عَاصِفَةً فَرَفَعَتْ أَمْوَاجَهُ.

26 They mount the heavens, they descend the roaring deeps, their soul, by trouble, dissolveth;

٢٦ يَصْعَدُونَ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، يَهْبِطُونَ إِلَى ٱلْأَعْمَاقِ. ذَابَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ بِٱلشَّقَاءِ.

27 They reel and stagger, like a drunken man, and, all their wisdom, is engulfed,

٢٧ يَتَمَايَلُونَ وَيَتَرَنَّحُونَ مِثْلَ ٱلسَّكْرَانِ، وَكُلُّ حِكْمَتِهِمِ ٱبْتُلِعَتْ.

28 Then make they outcry to Yahweh in their peril, and, out of their distresses, he bringeth them forth,

٢٨ فَيَصْرُخُونَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، وَمِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ يُخَلِّصُهُمْ.

29 He calmeth the storm to a whisper, and silent are their rolling waves:

٢٩ يُهْدِئُ ٱلْعَاصِفَةَ فَتَسْكُنُ، وَتَسْكُتُ أَمْوَاجُهَا.

30 Then are they glad, because they are hushed, And he guideth them unto their desired haven.

٣٠ فَيَفْرَحُونَ لِأَنَّهُمْ هَدَأُوا، فَيَهْدِيهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْمَرْفَإِ ٱلَّذِي يُرِيدُونَهُ.

31 Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his lovingkindness, and for his wonderful dealings with the sons of men!

٣١ فَلْيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ.

32 Yea let them extol him in the convocation of the people, and, in the seated company of elders, let them praise him.

٣٢ وَلْيَرْفَعُوهُ فِي مَجْمَعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَلْيُسَبِّحُوهُ فِي مَجْلِسِ ٱلْمَشَايِخِ.

33 He turneth Rivers into a desert, and, Springs of Water, into thirsty ground,

٣٣ يَجْعَلُ ٱلْأَنْهَارَ قِفَارًا، وَمَجَارِيَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ مَعْطَشَةً،

34 A Land of Fruit, into a waste of salt, For the wickedness of them who dwell therein.

٣٤ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلْمُثْمِرَةَ سَبِخَةً مِنْ شَرِّ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا.

35 He turneth A Desert, into a pool of water, and, A Parched Land into springs of water;

٣٥ يَجْعَلُ ٱلْقَفْرَ غَدِيرَ مِيَاهٍ، وَأَرْضًا يَبَسًا يَنَابِيعَ مِيَاهٍ.

36 And hath caused the famished to dwell there, And they have built them a city to dwell in;

٣٦ وَيُسْكِنُ هُنَاكَ ٱلْجِيَاعَ فَيُهَيِّئُونَ مَدِينَةَ سَكَنٍ.

37 And have sown fields, and planted vineyards, and made them fruits of increase:

٣٧ وَيَزْرَعُونَ حُقُولًا وَيَغْرِسُونَ كُرُومًا، فَتَصْنَعُ ثَمَرَ غَلَّةٍ.

38 Thus hath he blessed them, and they have multiplied greatly, And, their cattle, he maketh not few.

٣٨ وَيُبَارِكُهُمْ فَيَكْثُرُونَ جِدًّا، وَلَا يُقَلِّلُ بَهَائِمَهُمْ.

39 So have they become few and been brought low, By oppression, misfortune, and sorrow;

٣٩ ثُمَّ يَقِلُّونَ وَيَنْحَنُونَ مِنْ ضَغْطِ ٱلشَّرِّ وَٱلْحُزْنِ.

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

٤٠ يَسْكُبُ هَوَانًا عَلَى رُؤَسَاءَ، وَيُضِلُّهُمْ فِي تِيهٍ بِلَا طَرِيقٍ،

41 But he hath set the needy on high from affliction, and made families, like a flock: —

٤١ وَيُعَلِّي ٱلْمِسْكِينَ مِنَ ٱلذُّلِّ، وَيَجْعَلُ ٱلْقَبَائِلَ مِثْلَ قُطْعَانِ ٱلْغَنَمِ.

42 The upright seeth and is glad, And, all perverseness, hath closed her mouth.

٤٢ يَرَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ فَيَفْرَحُونَ، وَكُلُّ إِثْمٍ يَسُدُّ فَاهُ.

43 Who is wise? then let him observe these things! and diligently consider the lovingkindness of Yahweh.

٤٣ مَنْ كَانَ حَكِيمًا يَحْفَظُ هَذَا، وَيَتَعَقَّلُ مَرَاحِمَ ٱلرَّبِّ.
