< Psalms 107 >

1 Give thanks to Yahweh for [he is] good for [is] for ever covenant loyalty his.
O give thanks unto Yhwh, 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 the redeemed of Yhwh say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3 And from [the] lands he has gathered them from east and from west from north and from [the] sea.
And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
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 solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
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 Yhwh 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 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.
Oh that men would praise Yhwh for his goodness, and for 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 satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
10 [those who] sat of Darkness and deep darkness prisoners of affliction and iron.
Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being 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 rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
12 And he humbled with trouble heart their they stumbled and there not [was] a helper.
Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, 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 Yhwh 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 brake their bands in sunder.
15 Let them give thanks to Yahweh covenant loyalty his and wonders his to [the] children of humankind.
Oh that men would praise Yhwh for his goodness, and for his wonderful 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 brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
17 Fools from [the] way of transgression their and from iniquities their they were afflicted.
Fools because of their 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 meat; 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 Yhwh 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 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)*)
Oh that men would praise Yhwh for his goodness, and for 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 sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
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 Yhwh, 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 commandeth, 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 heaven, they go down again 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 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 Yhwh 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, so that the waves thereof are still.
30 And they rejoiced for they were quiet and he guided them to [the] harbor of desire their.
Then are they glad because they be quiet; so 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.
Oh that men would praise Yhwh for his goodness, and for 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.
Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33 He made rivers into a wilderness and springs of water into thirsty ground.
He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings 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 turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.
36 And he caused to dwell there hungry [people] and they established a city of dwelling.
And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
37 And they sowed fields and they planted vineyards and they produced fruit of produce.
And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
38 And he blessed them and they multiplied exceedingly and cattle their not he made few.
He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and 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)*)
Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, 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 princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
41 And he set on high [the] needy from affliction and he made like flock families.
Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.
42 They see upright [people] so they may rejoice and all unrighteousness it shuts mouth its.
The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43 Who? [is] wise and let him observe these [things] and let them consider carefully [the] covenant loyalti of Yahweh.
Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of Yhwh.
