תהילים 107

1 הֹדוּ לַיהוָה כִּי־טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃

Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

2 יֹאמְרוּ גְּאוּלֵי יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר גְּאָלָם מִיַּד־צָֽר׃

Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the oppressor,

3 וּֽמֵאֲרָצוֹת קִבְּצָם מִמִּזְרָח וּמִֽמַּעֲרָב מִצָּפוֹן וּמִיָּֽם׃

And gathered out of the countries, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the sea.

4 תָּעוּ בַמִּדְבָּר בִּישִׁימוֹן דָּרֶךְ עִיר מוֹשָׁב לֹא מָצָֽאוּ׃

They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way, they found no city of habitation;

5 רְעֵבִים גַּם־צְמֵאִים נַפְשָׁם בָּהֶם תִּתְעַטָּֽף׃

Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them:

6 וַיִּצְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם מִמְּצֽוּקוֹתֵיהֶם יַצִּילֵֽם׃

Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, [and] he delivered them out of their distresses,

7 וַיּֽ͏ַדְרִיכֵם בְּדֶרֶךְ יְשָׁרָה לָלֶכֶת אֶל־עִיר מוֹשָֽׁב׃

And he led them forth by a right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

8 יוֹדוּ לַיהוָה חַסְדּוֹ וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָֽם׃

Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;

9 כִּי־הִשְׂבִּיעַ נֶפֶשׁ שֹׁקֵקָה וְנֶפֶשׁ רְעֵבָה מִלֵּא־טֽוֹב׃

For he hath satisfied the longing soul and filled the hungry soul with good.

10 יֹשְׁבֵי חֹשֶׁךְ וְצַלְמָוֶת אֲסִירֵי עֳנִי וּבַרְזֶֽל׃

Such as inhabit darkness and the shadow of death, bound in affliction and iron,

11 כִּֽי־הִמְרוּ אִמְרֵי־אֵל וַעֲצַת עֶלְיוֹן נָאָֽצוּ׃

Because they had rebelled against the words of God, and had despised the counsel of the Most High; ...

12 וַיַּכְנַע בֶּעָמָל לִבָּם כָּשְׁלוּ וְאֵין עֹזֵֽר׃

And he bowed down their heart with labour; they stumbled, and there was none to help:

13 וַיִּזְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם מִמְּצֻֽקוֹתֵיהֶם יוֹשִׁיעֵֽם׃

Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, [and] he saved them out of their distresses;

14 יֽוֹצִיאֵם מֵחֹשֶׁךְ וְצַלְמָוֶת וּמוֹסְרוֹתֵיהֶם יְנַתֵּֽק׃

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bands in sunder.

15 יוֹדוּ לַיהוָה חַסְדּוֹ וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָֽם׃

Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;

16 כִּֽי־שִׁבַּר דַּלְתוֹת נְחֹשֶׁת וּבְרִיחֵי בַרְזֶל גִּדֵּֽעַ׃

For he hath broken the gates of bronze, and cut asunder the bars of iron.

17 אֱוִלִים מִדֶּרֶךְ פִּשְׁעָם וּֽמֵעֲוֺֽנֹתֵיהֶם יִתְעַנּֽוּ׃

Fools, because of their way of transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted;

18 כָּל־אֹכֶל תְּתַעֵב נַפְשָׁם וַיַּגִּיעוּ עַד־שַׁעֲרֵי מָֽוֶת׃

Their soul abhorreth all manner of food, and they draw near unto the gates of death:

19 וַיִּזְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם מִמְּצֻֽקוֹתֵיהֶם יוֹשִׁיעֵֽם׃

Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, [and] he saveth them out of their distresses;

20 יִשְׁלַח דְּבָרוֹ וְיִרְפָּאֵם וִֽימַלֵּט מִשְּׁחִיתוֹתָֽם׃

He sendeth his word, and healeth them, and delivereth them from their destructions.

21 יוֹדוּ לַיהוָה חַסְדּוֹ וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָֽם׃

Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men,

22 וְיִזְבְּחוּ זִבְחֵי תוֹדָה וִֽיסַפְּרוּ מַעֲשָׂיו בְּרִנָּֽה׃

And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works in joyful song.

23 יוֹרְדֵי הַיָּם בָּאֳנִיּוֹת עֹשֵׂי מְלָאכָה בְּמַיִם רַבִּֽים׃

They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters,

24 הֵמָּה רָאוּ מַעֲשֵׂי יְהוָה וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו בִּמְצוּלָֽה׃

These see the works of Jehovah, and his wonders in the deep.

25 וַיֹּאמֶר וַֽיַּעֲמֵד רוּחַ סְעָרָה וַתְּרוֹמֵם גַּלָּֽיו׃

For he speaketh, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof:

26 יַעֲלוּ שָׁמַיִם יֵרְדוּ תְהוֹמוֹת נַפְשָׁם בְּרָעָה תִתְמוֹגָֽג׃

They mount up to the heavens, they go down to the depths; their soul is melted because of trouble;

27 יָחוֹגּוּ וְיָנוּעוּ כַּשִּׁכּוֹר וְכָל־חָכְמָתָם תִּתְבַּלָּֽע׃

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and they are at their wits' end:

28 וַיִּצְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם וּֽמִמְּצֽוּקֹתֵיהֶם יוֹצִיאֵֽם׃

Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses;

29 יָקֵם סְעָרָה לִדְמָמָה וַיֶּחֱשׁוּ גַּלֵּיהֶֽם׃

He maketh the storm a calm, and the waves thereof are still:

30 וַיִּשְׂמְחוּ כִֽי־יִשְׁתֹּקוּ וַיַּנְחֵם אֶל־מְחוֹז חֶפְצָֽם׃

And they rejoice because they are quiet; and he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

31 יוֹדוּ לַיהוָה חַסְדּוֹ וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָֽם׃

Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;

32 וִֽירֹמְמוּהוּ בִּקְהַל־עָם וּבְמוֹשַׁב זְקֵנִים יְהַלְלֽוּהוּ׃

Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the session of the elders.

33 יָשֵׂם נְהָרוֹת לְמִדְבָּר וּמֹצָאֵי מַיִם לְצִמָּאֽוֹן׃

He maketh rivers into a wilderness, and water-springs into dry ground;

34 אֶרֶץ פְּרִי לִמְלֵחָה מֵרָעַת יֹשְׁבֵי בָֽהּ׃

A fruitful land into a plain of salt, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

35 יָשֵׂם מִדְבָּר לַֽאֲגַם־מַיִם וְאֶרֶץ צִיָּה לְמֹצָאֵי מָֽיִם׃

He maketh the wilderness into a pool of water, and the dry land into water-springs;

36 וַיּוֹשֶׁב שָׁם רְעֵבִים וַיְכוֹנְנוּ עִיר מוֹשָֽׁב׃

And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, and they establish a city of habitation;

37 וַיִּזְרְעוּ שָׂדוֹת וַיִּטְּעוּ כְרָמִים וַיַּעֲשׂוּ פְּרִי תְבֽוּאָה׃

And sow fields, and plant vineyards, which yield fruits of increase;

38 וַיְבָרֲכֵם וַיִּרְבּוּ מְאֹד וּבְהֶמְתָּם לֹא יַמְעִֽיט׃

And he blesseth them, so that they are multiplied greatly; and he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

39 וַיִּמְעֲטוּ וַיָּשֹׁחוּ מֵעֹצֶר רָעָה וְיָגֽוֹן׃

And they are diminished and brought low, through oppression, adversity, and sorrow:

40 שֹׁפֵךְ בּוּז עַל־נְדִיבִים וַיַּתְעֵם בְּתֹהוּ לֹא־דָֽרֶךְ׃

He poureth contempt upon nobles, and causeth them to wander in a pathless waste;

41 וַיְשַׂגֵּב אֶבְיוֹן מֵעוֹנִי וַיָּשֶׂם כַּצֹּאן מִשְׁפָּחֽוֹת׃

But he secureth the needy one on high from affliction, and maketh [him] families like flocks.

42 יִרְאוּ יְשָׁרִים וְיִשְׂמָחוּ וְכָל־עַוְלָה קָפְצָה פִּֽיהָ׃

The upright shall see it, and rejoice; and all unrighteousness shall stop its mouth.

43 מִי־חָכָם וְיִשְׁמָר־אֵלֶּה וְיִתְבּֽוֹנְנוּ חַֽסְדֵי יְהוָֽה׃

Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, and let them understand the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah.
