< תהילים 107 >

הֹדוּ לַיהֹוָה כִּי־טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃ 1
Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is with every generation.
יֹאמְרוּ גְּאוּלֵי יְהֹוָה אֲשֶׁר גְּאָלָם מִיַּד־צָֽר׃ 2
Let those who have been redeemed by the Lord say so: those whom he redeemed from the hand of the enemy and gathered from the regions,
וּֽמֵאֲרָצוֹת קִבְּצָם מִמִּזְרָח וּמִֽמַּעֲרָב מִצָּפוֹן וּמִיָּֽם׃ 3
from the rising of the sun and its setting, from the north and from the sea.
תָּעוּ בַמִּדְבָּר בִּישִׁימוֹן דָּרֶךְ עִיר מוֹשָׁב לֹא מָצָֽאוּ׃ 4
They wandered into solitude in a waterless place. They did not find the way of the city to be their dwelling place.
רְעֵבִים גַּם־צְמֵאִים נַפְשָׁם בָּהֶם תִּתְעַטָּֽף׃ 5
They were hungry, and they were thirsty. Their soul fainted within them.
וַיִּצְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהֹוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם מִמְּצוּקוֹתֵיהֶם יַצִּילֵֽם׃ 6
And they cried out to the Lord in tribulation, and he rescued them in their necessity.
וַֽיַּדְרִיכֵם בְּדֶרֶךְ יְשָׁרָה לָלֶכֶת אֶל־עִיר מוֹשָֽׁב׃ 7
And he led them in the right way, so that they might go forth to a city of habitation.
יוֹדוּ לַיהֹוָה חַסְדּוֹ וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָֽם׃ 8
Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.
כִּֽי־הִשְׂבִּיעַ נֶפֶשׁ שֹׁקֵקָה וְנֶפֶשׁ רְעֵבָה מִלֵּא־טֽוֹב׃ 9
For he has satisfied the empty soul, and he has satisfied the hungry soul with good things:
יֹשְׁבֵי חֹשֶׁךְ וְצַלְמָוֶת אֲסִירֵי עֳנִי וּבַרְזֶֽל׃ 10
those sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death, shackled by extreme poverty and by iron.
כִּֽי־הִמְרוּ אִמְרֵי־אֵל וַעֲצַת עֶלְיוֹן נָאָֽצוּ׃ 11
For they exasperated the eloquence of God, and they irritated the deliberation of the Most High.
וַיַּכְנַע בֶּעָמָל לִבָּם כָּשְׁלוּ וְאֵין עֹזֵֽר׃ 12
And their heart was brought low with hardships. They were weakened, and there was no one to help them.
וַיִּזְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהֹוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם מִמְּצֻקוֹתֵיהֶם יוֹשִׁיעֵֽם׃ 13
And they cried out to the Lord in their tribulation, and he freed them from their distress.
יוֹצִיאֵם מֵחֹשֶׁךְ וְצַלְמָוֶת וּמוֹסְרוֹתֵיהֶם יְנַתֵּֽק׃ 14
And he led them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and he broke apart their chains.
יוֹדוּ לַיהֹוָה חַסְדּוֹ וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָֽם׃ 15
Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.
כִּֽי־שִׁבַּר דַּלְתוֹת נְחֹשֶׁת וּבְרִיחֵי בַרְזֶל גִּדֵּֽעַ׃ 16
For he has crushed the gates of brass and broken the iron bars.
אֱוִלִים מִדֶּרֶךְ פִּשְׁעָם וּֽמֵעֲוֺנֹתֵיהֶם יִתְעַנּֽוּ׃ 17
He has taken them up, from the way of their iniquity. For they were brought low, because of their injustices.
כׇּל־אֹכֶל תְּתַעֵב נַפְשָׁם וַיַּגִּיעוּ עַד־שַׁעֲרֵי־מָֽוֶת׃ 18
Their soul abhorred all food, and they drew near even to the gates of death.
וַיִּזְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהֹוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם מִמְּצֻקוֹתֵיהֶם יוֹשִׁיעֵֽם׃ 19
And they cried out to the Lord in their tribulation, and he delivered them in their necessity.
יִשְׁלַח דְּבָרוֹ וְיִרְפָּאֵם וִימַלֵּט מִשְּׁחִֽיתוֹתָֽם׃ 20
He sent his word, and he healed them, and he rescued them from their utter destruction.
יוֹדוּ לַיהֹוָה חַסְדּוֹ וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָֽם׃ 21
Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.
וְיִזְבְּחוּ זִבְחֵי תוֹדָה וִיסַפְּרוּ מַעֲשָׂיו בְּרִנָּֽה׃ 22
And let them offer sacrifice with the sacrifice of praise, and let them announce his works in exultation.
׆ יוֹרְדֵי הַיָּם בׇּאֳנִיּוֹת עֹשֵׂי מְלָאכָה בְּמַיִם רַבִּֽים׃ 23
Those who descend to the sea in ships, making their livelihood in the great waters:
׆ הֵמָּה רָאוּ מַעֲשֵׂי יְהֹוָה וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו בִּמְצוּלָֽה׃ 24
these have seen the works of the Lord and his wonders in the deep.
׆ וַיֹּאמֶר וַֽיַּעֲמֵד רוּחַ סְעָרָה וַתְּרוֹמֵם גַּלָּֽיו׃ 25
He spoke: and a windstorm stood up, and its waves were exalted.
׆ יַעֲלוּ שָׁמַיִם יֵרְדוּ תְהוֹמוֹת נַפְשָׁם בְּרָעָה תִתְמוֹגָֽג׃ 26
They ascend even to the heavens, and they descend even to the abyss. Their soul will waste away in distress.
׆ יָחוֹגּוּ וְיָנוּעוּ כַּשִּׁכּוֹר וְכׇל־חׇכְמָתָם תִּתְבַּלָּֽע׃ 27
They were troubled, and they moved like a drunkard, and all their wisdom was consumed.
׆ וַיִּצְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהֹוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם וּֽמִמְּצוּקֹתֵיהֶם יוֹצִיאֵֽם׃ 28
And they cried out to the Lord in their tribulation, and he led them out of their distress.
יָקֵם סְעָרָה לִדְמָמָה וַיֶּחֱשׁוּ גַּלֵּיהֶֽם׃ 29
And he replaced the storm with a breeze, and its waves were stilled.
וַיִּשְׂמְחוּ כִֽי־יִשְׁתֹּקוּ וַיַּנְחֵם אֶל־מְחוֹז חֶפְצָֽם׃ 30
And they were joyful that it was stilled, and he led them into the haven that they desired.
יוֹדוּ לַיהֹוָה חַסְדּוֹ וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָֽם׃ 31
Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.
וִֽירוֹמְמוּהוּ בִּקְהַל־עָם וּבְמוֹשַׁב זְקֵנִים יְהַלְלֽוּהוּ׃ 32
And let them exalt him in the Church of the people, and praise him in the chair of the elders.
יָשֵׂם נְהָרוֹת לְמִדְבָּר וּמֹצָאֵי מַיִם לְצִמָּאֽוֹן׃ 33
He has placed rivers in the desert and sources of water in dry places,
אֶרֶץ פְּרִי לִמְלֵחָה מֵרָעַת יוֹשְׁבֵי בָֽהּ׃ 34
a fruit-bearing land in the midst of brine, before the malice of those who dwell in it.
יָשֵׂם מִדְבָּר לַאֲגַם־מַיִם וְאֶרֶץ צִיָּה לְמֹצָאֵי מָֽיִם׃ 35
He has placed a desert in the midst of pools of waters, and a land without water in the midst of sources of water.
וַיּוֹשֶׁב שָׁם רְעֵבִים וַיְכוֹנְנוּ עִיר מוֹשָֽׁב׃ 36
And he has gathered the hungry together there, and they constructed a city of habitation.
וַיִּזְרְעוּ שָׂדוֹת וַיִּטְּעוּ כְרָמִים וַיַּעֲשׂוּ פְּרִי תְבוּאָֽה׃ 37
And they sowed fields and planted vineyards, and they produced the fruit of nativity.
וַיְבָרְכֵם וַיִּרְבּוּ מְאֹד וּבְהֶמְתָּם לֹא יַמְעִֽיט׃ 38
And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly. And he did not diminish their beasts of burden.
וַיִּמְעֲטוּ וַיָּשֹׁחוּ מֵעֹצֶר רָעָה וְיָגֽוֹן׃ 39
And they became few, and they were afflicted by the tribulation of evils and of sorrow.
׆ שֹׁפֵךְ בּוּז עַל־נְדִיבִים וַיַּתְעֵם בְּתֹהוּ לֹא־דָֽרֶךְ׃ 40
Contempt was poured over their leaders, and he caused them to wander in an impassable place, and not on the way.
וַיְשַׂגֵּב אֶבְיוֹן מֵעוֹנִי וַיָּשֶׂם כַּצֹּאן מִשְׁפָּחֽוֹת׃ 41
And he helped the poor out of destitution, and he stationed families like sheep.
יִרְאוּ יְשָׁרִים וְיִשְׂמָחוּ וְכׇל־עַוְלָה קָפְצָה פִּֽיהָ׃ 42
The upright will see, and they will rejoice. And every iniquity will block its mouth.
מִי־חָכָם וְיִשְׁמׇר־אֵלֶּה וְיִתְבּוֹנְנוּ חַֽסְדֵי יְהֹוָֽה׃ 43
Who is wise and will keep these things? And who will understand the mercies of the Lord?
