תהילים 107
| הֹדוּ לַיהוָה כִּי־טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃ | 1 |
Alleluia. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy [endures] for ever.
| יֹאמְרוּ גְּאוּלֵי יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר גְּאָלָם מִיַּד־צָֽר׃ | 2 |
Let them say [so] who have been redeemed by the Lord, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
| וּֽמֵאֲרָצוֹת קִבְּצָם מִמִּזְרָח וּמִֽמַּעֲרָב מִצָּפוֹן וּמִיָּֽם׃ | 3 |
and gathered them out of the countries, from the east, and west, and north, and south.
| תָּעוּ בַמִּדְבָּר בִּישִׁימוֹן דָּרֶךְ עִיר מוֹשָׁב לֹא מָצָֽאוּ׃ | 4 |
They wandered in the wilderness in a dry land; they found no way to a city of habitation.
| רְעֵבִים גַּם־צְמֵאִים נַפְשָׁם בָּהֶם תִּתְעַטָּֽף׃ | 5 |
Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
| וַיִּצְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם מִמְּצֽוּקוֹתֵיהֶם יַצִּילֵֽם׃ | 6 |
Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
| וַיּֽ͏ַדְרִיכֵם בְּדֶרֶךְ יְשָׁרָה לָלֶכֶת אֶל־עִיר מוֹשָֽׁב׃ | 7 |
And he guided them into a straight path, that they might go to a city of habitation.
| יוֹדוּ לַיהוָה חַסְדּוֹ וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָֽם׃ | 8 |
Let them acknowledge to the Lord his mercies, and his wonderful works to the children of men.
| כִּי־הִשְׂבִּיעַ נֶפֶשׁ שֹׁקֵקָה וְנֶפֶשׁ רְעֵבָה מִלֵּא־טֽוֹב׃ | 9 |
For he satisfies the empty soul, and fills the hungry [soul] with good things,
| יֹשְׁבֵי חֹשֶׁךְ וְצַלְמָוֶת אֲסִירֵי עֳנִי וּבַרְזֶֽל׃ | 10 |
[even] them that sit in darkness and the shadow of death, fettered in poverty and iron;
| כִּֽי־הִמְרוּ אִמְרֵי־אֵל וַעֲצַת עֶלְיוֹן נָאָֽצוּ׃ | 11 |
because they rebelled against the words of God, and provoked the counsel of the Most High.
| וַיַּכְנַע בֶּעָמָל לִבָּם כָּשְׁלוּ וְאֵין עֹזֵֽר׃ | 12 |
So their heart was brought low with troubles; they were weak, and there was no helper.

And he brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bonds asunder.

Let them acknowledge to the Lord his mercies, and his wonders to the children of men.
| כִּֽי־שִׁבַּר דַּלְתוֹת נְחֹשֶׁת וּבְרִיחֵי בַרְזֶל גִּדֵּֽעַ׃ | 16 |
For he broke to pieces the brazen gates, and crushed the iron bars.
| אֱוִלִים מִדֶּרֶךְ פִּשְׁעָם וּֽמֵעֲוֺֽנֹתֵיהֶם יִתְעַנּֽוּ׃ | 17 |
He helped them out of the way of their iniquity; for they were brought low because of their iniquities.
| כָּל־אֹכֶל תְּתַעֵב נַפְשָׁם וַיַּגִּיעוּ עַד־שַׁעֲרֵי מָֽוֶת׃ | 18 |
Their soul abhorred all meat; and they drew near to the gates of death.

They that go down to the sea in ships, doing business in many waters;
| הֵמָּה רָאוּ מַעֲשֵׂי יְהוָה וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו בִּמְצוּלָֽה׃ | 24 |
these [men] have seen the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.
| וַיֹּאמֶר וַֽיַּעֲמֵד רוּחַ סְעָרָה וַתְּרוֹמֵם גַּלָּֽיו׃ | 25 |
He speaks, and the stormy wind arises, and its waves are lifted up.
| יַעֲלוּ שָׁמַיִם יֵרְדוּ תְהוֹמוֹת נַפְשָׁם בְּרָעָה תִתְמוֹגָֽג׃ | 26 |
They go up to the heavens, and go down to the depths; their soul melts because of troubles.

And they are glad, because they are quiet; and he guides them to their desire haven.

Let them acknowledge to the Lord his mercies, and his wonderful works to the children of men.
