Psalms 107
1 O give thanks to the LORD, for [he is] good; for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
| הֹד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה כִּי־טֹ֑וב כִּ֖י לְעֹולָ֣ם חַסְדֹּֽו׃ |
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say [so], whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
| יֹ֭אמְרוּ גְּאוּלֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר גְּ֝אָלָ֗ם מִיַּד־צָֽר׃ |
3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
| וּֽמֵאֲרָצֹ֗ות קִ֫בְּצָ֥ם מִמִּזְרָ֥ח וּמִֽמַּעֲרָ֑ב מִצָּפֹ֥ון וּמִיָּֽם׃ |
4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
| תָּע֣וּ בַ֭מִּדְבָּר בִּישִׁימֹ֣ון דָּ֑רֶךְ עִ֥יר מֹ֝ושָׁ֗ב לֹ֣א מָצָֽאוּ׃ |
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
| רְעֵבִ֥ים גַּם־צְמֵאִ֑ים נַ֝פְשָׁ֗ם בָּהֶ֥ם תִּתְעַטָּֽף׃ |
6 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, [and] he delivered them out of their distresses.
| וַיִּצְעֲק֣וּ אֶל־יְ֭הוָה בַּצַּ֣ר לָהֶ֑ם מִ֝מְּצֽוּקֹותֵיהֶ֗ם יַצִּילֵֽם׃ |
7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
| וַ֭יּֽ͏ַדְרִיכֵם בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ יְשָׁרָ֑ה לָ֝לֶ֗כֶת אֶל־עִ֥יר מֹושָֽׁב׃ |
8 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
| יֹוד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה חַסְדֹּ֑ו וְ֝נִפְלְאֹותָ֗יו לִבְנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃ |
9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
| כִּי־הִ֭שְׂבִּיעַ נֶ֣פֶשׁ שֹׁקֵקָ֑ה וְנֶ֥פֶשׁ רְ֝עֵבָה מִלֵּא־טֹֽוב׃ |
10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shades of death, [being] bound in affliction and iron;
| יֹ֭שְׁבֵי חֹ֣שֶׁךְ וְצַלְמָ֑וֶת אֲסִירֵ֖י עֳנִ֣י וּבַרְזֶֽל׃ |
11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the Most High:
| כִּֽי־הִמְר֥וּ אִמְרֵי־אֵ֑ל וַעֲצַ֖ת עֶלְיֹ֣ון נָאָֽצוּ׃ |
12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labor; they fell down, and [there was] none to help.
| וַיַּכְנַ֣ע בֶּעָמָ֣ל לִבָּ֑ם כָּ֝שְׁל֗וּ וְאֵ֣ין עֹזֵֽר׃ |
13 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, [and] he saved them out of their distresses.
| וַיִּזְעֲק֣וּ אֶל־יְ֭הוָה בַּצַּ֣ר לָהֶ֑ם מִ֝מְּצֻֽקֹותֵיהֶ֗ם יֹושִׁיעֵֽם׃ |
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shades of death, and broke their bands asunder.
| יֹֽ֭וצִיאֵם מֵחֹ֣שֶׁךְ וְצַלְמָ֑וֶת וּמֹוסְרֹ֖ותֵיהֶ֣ם יְנַתֵּֽק׃ |
15 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
| יֹוד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה חַסְדֹּ֑ו וְ֝נִפְלְאֹותָ֗יו לִבְנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃ |
16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron asunder.
| כִּֽי־שִׁ֭בַּר דַּלְתֹ֣ות נְחֹ֑שֶׁת וּבְרִיחֵ֖י בַרְזֶ֣ל גִּדֵּֽעַ׃ |
17 Fools, because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
| אֱ֭וִלִים מִדֶּ֣רֶךְ פִּשְׁעָ֑ם וּֽ֝מֵעֲוֹֽנֹתֵיהֶ֗ם יִתְעַנּֽוּ׃ |
18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of food; and they draw near to the gates of death.
| כָּל־אֹ֭כֶל תְּתַעֵ֣ב נַפְשָׁ֑ם וַ֝יַּגִּ֗יעוּ עַד־שַׁ֥עֲרֵי מָֽוֶת׃ |
19 Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, he saveth them out of their distresses.
| וַיִּזְעֲק֣וּ אֶל־יְ֭הוָה בַּצַּ֣ר לָהֶ֑ם מִ֝מְּצֻֽקֹותֵיהֶ֗ם יֹושִׁיעֵֽם׃ |
20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered [them] from their destructions.
| יִשְׁלַ֣ח דְּ֭בָרֹו וְיִרְפָּאֵ֑ם וִֽ֝ימַלֵּ֗ט מִשְּׁחִיתֹותָֽם׃ ׆ |
21 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
| יֹוד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה חַסְדֹּ֑ו וְ֝נִפְלְאֹותָ֗יו לִבְנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃ ׆ |
22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
| וְ֭יִזְבְּחוּ זִבְחֵ֣י תֹודָ֑ה וִֽיסַפְּר֖וּ מַעֲשָׂ֣יו בְּרִנָּֽה׃ ׆ |
23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business on great waters;
| יֹורְדֵ֣י הַ֭יָּם בָּאֳנִיֹּ֑ות עֹשֵׂ֥י מְ֝לָאכָ֗ה בְּמַ֣יִם רַבִּֽים׃ ׆ |
24 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.
| הֵ֣מָּה רָ֭אוּ מַעֲשֵׂ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וְ֝נִפְלְאֹותָ֗יו בִּמְצוּלָֽה׃ ׆ |
25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up its waves.
| וַיֹּ֗אמֶר וַֽ֭יַּעֲמֵד ר֣וּחַ סְעָרָ֑ה וַתְּרֹומֵ֥ם גַּלָּֽיו׃ ׆ |
26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
| יַעֲל֣וּ שָׁ֭מַיִם יֵרְד֣וּ תְהֹומֹ֑ות נַ֝פְשָׁ֗ם בְּרָעָ֥ה תִתְמֹוגָֽג׃ |
27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end.
| יָחֹ֣וגּוּ וְ֭יָנוּעוּ כַּשִּׁכֹּ֑ור וְכָל־חָ֝כְמָתָ֗ם תִּתְבַּלָּֽע׃ |
28 Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
| וַיִּצְעֲק֣וּ אֶל־יְ֭הוָה בַּצַּ֣ר לָהֶ֑ם וּֽ֝מִמְּצֽוּקֹתֵיהֶ֗ם יֹוצִיאֵֽם׃ |
29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves [of the sea] are still.
| יָקֵ֣ם סְ֭עָרָה לִדְמָמָ֑ה וַ֝יֶּחֱשׁ֗וּ גַּלֵּיהֶֽם׃ |
30 Then are they glad because they are quiet; so he bringeth them to their desired haven.
| וַיִּשְׂמְח֥וּ כִֽי־יִשְׁתֹּ֑קוּ וַ֝יַּנְחֵ֗ם אֶל־מְחֹ֥וז חֶפְצָֽם׃ |
31 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
| יֹוד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה חַסְדֹּ֑ו וְ֝נִפְלְאֹותָ֗יו לִבְנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃ |
32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
| וִֽ֭ירֹמְמוּהוּ בִּקְהַל־עָ֑ם וּבְמֹושַׁ֖ב זְקֵנִ֣ים יְהַלְלֽוּהוּ׃ |
33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the water-springs into dry ground;
| יָשֵׂ֣ם נְהָרֹ֣ות לְמִדְבָּ֑ר וּמֹצָ֥אֵי מַ֝֗יִם לְצִמָּאֹֽון׃ |
34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell in it.
| אֶ֣רֶץ פְּ֭רִי לִמְלֵחָ֑ה מֵ֝רָעַ֗ת יֹ֣שְׁבֵי בָֽהּ׃ |
35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into water-springs.
| יָשֵׂ֣ם מִ֭דְבָּר לַֽאֲגַם־מַ֑יִם וְאֶ֥רֶץ צִ֝יָּ֗ה לְמֹצָ֥אֵי מָֽיִם׃ |
36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
| וַיֹּ֣ושֶׁב שָׁ֣ם רְעֵבִ֑ים וַ֝יְכֹונְנ֗וּ עִ֣יר מֹושָֽׁב׃ |
37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
| וַיִּזְרְע֣וּ שָׂ֭דֹות וַיִּטְּע֣וּ כְרָמִ֑ים וַ֝יַּעֲשׂ֗וּ פְּרִ֣י תְבֽוּאָה׃ |
38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
| וַיְבָרֲכֵ֣ם וַיִּרְבּ֣וּ מְאֹ֑ד וּ֝בְהֶמְתָּ֗ם לֹ֣א יַמְעִֽיט׃ |
39 Again, they are diminished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
| וַיִּמְעֲט֥וּ וַיָּשֹׁ֑חוּ מֵעֹ֖צֶר רָעָ֣ה וְיָגֹֽון׃ ׆ |
40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, [where there is] no way.
| שֹׁפֵ֣ךְ בּ֭וּז עַל־נְדִיבִ֑ים וַ֝יַּתְעֵ֗ם בְּתֹ֣הוּ לֹא־דָֽרֶךְ׃ |
41 Yet he setteth the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.
| וַיְשַׂגֵּ֣ב אֶבְיֹ֣ון מֵעֹ֑ונִי וַיָּ֥שֶׂם כַּ֝צֹּ֗אן מִשְׁפָּחֹֽות׃ |
42 The righteous shall see [it], and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
| יִרְא֣וּ יְשָׁרִ֣ים וְיִשְׂמָ֑חוּ וְכָל־עַ֝וְלָ֗ה קָ֣פְצָה פִּֽיהָ׃ |
43 Whoever [is] wise, and will observe these [things], even they shall understand the loving-kindness of the LORD.
| מִי־חָכָ֥ם וְיִשְׁמָר־אֵ֑לֶּה וְ֝יִתְבֹּֽונְנ֗וּ חַֽסְדֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ |
