< 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?
