Psalms 107

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

11 For they had rebelled against [the] words of God and [the] counsel of [the] Most High they had spurned.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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