Psalms 107
1 Give thanks to Yahweh for [he is] good for [is] for ever covenant loyalty his.
“BOOK V.” O give thanks 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 the redeemed of the LORD say it, 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.
Whom he hath gathered from the lands, From the east, the west, the north, and the south.
4 They wandered about in the wilderness in a desolate place of a way a city of dwelling not they found.
They were wandering in the wilderness, in a desert, They found no way to a city to dwell in.
5 Hungry also thirsty life their in them it was fainting away.
They were hungry and thirsty, And their souls fainted within them.
6 And they cried out to Yahweh when it was distress to them from troubles their he delivered them.
Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distress.
7 And he led them by a way straight to go to a city of dwelling.
He led them in a straight way, Till they came to a city where they might dwell.
8 Let them give thanks to Yahweh covenant loyalty his and wonders his to [the] children of humankind.
O let them praise the LORD for his goodness, 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 thirsty, And the hungry he filleth with good.
10 [those who] sat of Darkness and deep darkness prisoners of affliction and iron.
They dwelt in darkness and 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 disobeyed the commands of God, And contemned the will of the Most High;
12 And he humbled with trouble heart their they stumbled and there not [was] a helper.
Their hearts he brought down by hardship; 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.
But they cried to the LORD 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 asunder.
15 Let them give thanks to Yahweh covenant loyalty his and wonders his to [the] children of humankind.
O let them praise the LORD for his goodness, 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 asunder.
17 Fools from [the] way of transgression their and from iniquities their they were afflicted.
The foolish, because of their transgressions, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted;
18 All food it loathed throat their and they reached to [the] gates of death.
They abhorred all kinds of food; They were near to 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 cried to the LORD in their trouble, 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 saved them from their destruction.
21 Let them give thanks to Yahweh covenant loyalty his and wonders his to [the] children of (humankind. *LAH(b)*)
O let them praise the LORD for his goodness, 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)*)
Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, 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 who go down to the sea in ships, And 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 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 commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, Which lifteth high the waves.
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 sink down to the depths, Their soul melteth with distress;
27 They staggered and they may trembled like drunkard and all skill their (it was confused. *LB(ah)*)
They reel and stagger like a drunken man, And all their skill is vain.
28 And they cried out to Yahweh when it was distress to them and from troubles their he brought out them.
Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, And he saveth them out of their distresses;
29 He raised [the] storm into a calm and they were still waves their.
He turneth the storm into a calm, And the waves are hushed;
30 And they rejoiced for they were quiet and he guided them to [the] harbor of desire their.
Then they rejoice that they are still, And he bringeth them to their desired haven.
31 Let them give thanks to Yahweh covenant loyalty his and wonders his to [the] children of humankind.
O let them praise the LORD for his goodness. 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 extol him 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 desert, And springs 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 turneth the desert into a lake of water, And dry ground into springs of water;
36 And he caused to dwell there hungry [people] and they established a city of dwelling.
And there he causeth the hungry to dwell, And they build a city for a dwelling-place,
37 And they sowed fields and they planted vineyards and they produced fruit of produce.
And sow fields and plant vineyards, Which yield a fruitful increase.
38 And he blessed them and they multiplied exceedingly and cattle their not he made few.
He blesseth them, so that they multiply 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)*)
When they are diminished and brought low By 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 a pathless wilderness;
41 And he set on high [the] needy from affliction and he made like flock families.
But he raiseth the poor from their affliction, And increaseth their families like a flock.
42 They see upright [people] so they may rejoice and all unrighteousness it shuts mouth its.
The righteous see it and rejoice, And all iniquity shutteth 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, let him observe this, And have regard to the loving-kindness of the LORD!
