Psalms 107

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

Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

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

Let them say so that have been redeemed by the Lord, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy: and gathered out of the countries.

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

From the rising and the setting of the sun, 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 a wilderness, in a place without water: they found not the way of a city for their habitation.

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

They were 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.

And they cried to the Lord in their tribulation: 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 into the 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 the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful 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 empty soul, and hath filled the hungry soul with good things.

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

Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death: bound in want and in iron.

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

Because they had exasperated the words of God: and provoked the counsel of the most High:

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

And their heart was humbled with labours: they were weakened, and their was none to help them.

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

Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.

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

And he brought them out of darkness, and the shadow of death; and broke their bonds in sunder.

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

Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.

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

Because he hath broken gates of brass, and burst the iron bars.

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

He took them out of the way of their iniquity: for they were brought low for their injustices.

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

Their soul abhorred all manner of meat: and they drew nigh even to the gates of death.

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

And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered 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 sent his word, and healed them: and delivered 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 the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful 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 sacrifice the sacrifice of praise: and declare his works with joy.

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, doing business in the great waters:

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

These have seen the works of the Lord, 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)*)

He said the word, and there arose a storm of wind: and the waves thereof were lifted up.

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, and they go down to the depths: their soul pined away with evils.

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

They were troubled, and reeled like a drunken man; and all their wisdom was swallowed up.

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

And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he brought them out of their distresses.

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

And he turned the storm into a breeze: and its waves were still.

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

And they rejoiced because they were still: and he brought them to the haven which they wished for.

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

Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful 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.

And let them exalt him in the church of the people: and praise him in the chair of the ancients.

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

He hath turned rivers into a wilderness: and the sources of water into dry ground:

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

A fruitful land into barrenness, 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 hath turned a wilderness into pools of water, and a dry land into water springs.

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

And hath placed there the hungry; and they made a city for their habitation.

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

And they sowed fields, and planted vineyards: and they yielded fruit of birth.

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

And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly: and their cattle he suffered not to decrease.

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

Then they were brought to be few: and they were afflicted through the trouble of evils and sorrow.

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

Contempt was poured forth upon their princes: and he caused them to wander where there was no passing, and out of the way.

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

And he helped the poor out of poverty: and made him families like a flock of sheep.

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

The just shall see, and shall rejoice, and all iniquity shall stop their mouth.

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

Who is wise, and will keep these things: and will understand the mercies of the Lord?
