תהילים 107
| הֹדוּ לַיהוָה כִּי־טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃ | 1 |
'Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age [is] His kindness:'
| יֹאמְרוּ גְּאוּלֵי יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר גְּאָלָם מִיַּד־צָֽר׃ | 2 |
Let the redeemed of Jehovah say, Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary.
| וּֽמֵאֲרָצוֹת קִבְּצָם מִמִּזְרָח וּמִֽמַּעֲרָב מִצָּפוֹן וּמִיָּֽם׃ | 3 |
And from the lands hath gathered them, From east and from west, From north, and from the sea.
| תָּעוּ בַמִּדְבָּר בִּישִׁימוֹן דָּרֶךְ עִיר מוֹשָׁב לֹא מָצָֽאוּ׃ | 4 |
They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, A city of habitation they have not found.
| רְעֵבִים גַּם־צְמֵאִים נַפְשָׁם בָּהֶם תִּתְעַטָּֽף׃ | 5 |
Hungry — yea — thirsty, Their soul in them becometh feeble,
| וַיִּצְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם מִמְּצֽוּקוֹתֵיהֶם יַצִּילֵֽם׃ | 6 |
And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distress He delivereth them,
| וַיּֽ͏ַדְרִיכֵם בְּדֶרֶךְ יְשָׁרָה לָלֶכֶת אֶל־עִיר מוֹשָֽׁב׃ | 7 |
And causeth them to tread in a right way, To go unto a city of habitation.
| יוֹדוּ לַיהוָה חַסְדּוֹ וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָֽם׃ | 8 |
They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
| כִּי־הִשְׂבִּיעַ נֶפֶשׁ שֹׁקֵקָה וְנֶפֶשׁ רְעֵבָה מִלֵּא־טֽוֹב׃ | 9 |
For He hath satisfied a longing soul, And a hungry soul hath filled [with] goodness.
| יֹשְׁבֵי חֹשֶׁךְ וְצַלְמָוֶת אֲסִירֵי עֳנִי וּבַרְזֶֽל׃ | 10 |
Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of affliction and of iron,
| כִּֽי־הִמְרוּ אִמְרֵי־אֵל וַעֲצַת עֶלְיוֹן נָאָֽצוּ׃ | 11 |
Because they changed the saying of God, And the counsel of the Most High despised.
| וַיַּכְנַע בֶּעָמָל לִבָּם כָּשְׁלוּ וְאֵין עֹזֵֽר׃ | 12 |
And He humbleth with labour their heart, They have been feeble, and there is no helper.
| וַיִּזְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם מִמְּצֻֽקוֹתֵיהֶם יוֹשִׁיעֵֽם׃ | 13 |
And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them.
| יֽוֹצִיאֵם מֵחֹשֶׁךְ וְצַלְמָוֶת וּמוֹסְרוֹתֵיהֶם יְנַתֵּֽק׃ | 14 |
He bringeth them out from the dark place, And death-shade, And their bands He draweth away.
| יוֹדוּ לַיהוָה חַסְדּוֹ וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָֽם׃ | 15 |
They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
| כִּֽי־שִׁבַּר דַּלְתוֹת נְחֹשֶׁת וּבְרִיחֵי בַרְזֶל גִּדֵּֽעַ׃ | 16 |
For He hath broken doors of brass, And bars of iron He hath cut.
| אֱוִלִים מִדֶּרֶךְ פִּשְׁעָם וּֽמֵעֲוֺֽנֹתֵיהֶם יִתְעַנּֽוּ׃ | 17 |
Fools, by means of their transgression, And by their iniquities, afflict themselves.
| כָּל־אֹכֶל תְּתַעֵב נַפְשָׁם וַיַּגִּיעוּ עַד־שַׁעֲרֵי מָֽוֶת׃ | 18 |
All food doth their soul abominate, And they come nigh unto the gates of death,
| וַיִּזְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם מִמְּצֻֽקוֹתֵיהֶם יוֹשִׁיעֵֽם׃ | 19 |
And cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them,
| יִשְׁלַח דְּבָרוֹ וְיִרְפָּאֵם וִֽימַלֵּט מִשְּׁחִיתוֹתָֽם׃ | 20 |
He sendeth His word and healeth them, And delivereth from their destructions.
| יוֹדוּ לַיהוָה חַסְדּוֹ וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָֽם׃ | 21 |
They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
| וְיִזְבְּחוּ זִבְחֵי תוֹדָה וִֽיסַפְּרוּ מַעֲשָׂיו בְּרִנָּֽה׃ | 22 |
And they sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving, And recount His works with singing.
| יוֹרְדֵי הַיָּם בָּאֳנִיּוֹת עֹשֵׂי מְלָאכָה בְּמַיִם רַבִּֽים׃ | 23 |
Those going down [to] the sea in ships, Doing business in many waters,
| הֵמָּה רָאוּ מַעֲשֵׂי יְהוָה וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו בִּמְצוּלָֽה׃ | 24 |
They have seen the works of Jehovah, And His wonders in the deep.
| וַיֹּאמֶר וַֽיַּעֲמֵד רוּחַ סְעָרָה וַתְּרוֹמֵם גַּלָּֽיו׃ | 25 |
And He saith, and appointeth a tempest, And it lifteth up its billows,
| יַעֲלוּ שָׁמַיִם יֵרְדוּ תְהוֹמוֹת נַפְשָׁם בְּרָעָה תִתְמוֹגָֽג׃ | 26 |
They go up [to] the heavens, they go down [to] the depths, Their soul in evil is melted.
| יָחוֹגּוּ וְיָנוּעוּ כַּשִּׁכּוֹר וְכָל־חָכְמָתָם תִּתְבַּלָּֽע׃ | 27 |
They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.
| וַיִּצְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם וּֽמִמְּצֽוּקֹתֵיהֶם יוֹצִיאֵֽם׃ | 28 |
And they cry to Jehovah in their adversity, And from their distresses He bringeth them out.
| יָקֵם סְעָרָה לִדְמָמָה וַיֶּחֱשׁוּ גַּלֵּיהֶֽם׃ | 29 |
He establisheth a whirlwind to a calm, And hushed are their billows.
| וַיִּשְׂמְחוּ כִֽי־יִשְׁתֹּקוּ וַיַּנְחֵם אֶל־מְחוֹז חֶפְצָֽם׃ | 30 |
And they rejoice because they are quiet, And He leadeth them to the haven of their desire.
| יוֹדוּ לַיהוָה חַסְדּוֹ וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָֽם׃ | 31 |
They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
| וִֽירֹמְמוּהוּ בִּקְהַל־עָם וּבְמוֹשַׁב זְקֵנִים יְהַלְלֽוּהוּ׃ | 32 |
And they exalt Him in the assembly of the people, And in the seat of the elders praise Him.
| יָשֵׂם נְהָרוֹת לְמִדְבָּר וּמֹצָאֵי מַיִם לְצִמָּאֽוֹן׃ | 33 |
He maketh rivers become a wilderness, And fountains of waters become dry land.
| אֶרֶץ פְּרִי לִמְלֵחָה מֵרָעַת יֹשְׁבֵי בָֽהּ׃ | 34 |
A fruitful land becometh a barren place, For the wickedness of its inhabitants.
| יָשֵׂם מִדְבָּר לַֽאֲגַם־מַיִם וְאֶרֶץ צִיָּה לְמֹצָאֵי מָֽיִם׃ | 35 |
He maketh a wilderness become a pool of water, And a dry land become fountains of waters.
| וַיּוֹשֶׁב שָׁם רְעֵבִים וַיְכוֹנְנוּ עִיר מוֹשָֽׁב׃ | 36 |
And He causeth the hungry to dwell there, And they prepare a city of habitation.
| וַיִּזְרְעוּ שָׂדוֹת וַיִּטְּעוּ כְרָמִים וַיַּעֲשׂוּ פְּרִי תְבֽוּאָה׃ | 37 |
And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, And they make fruits of increase.
| וַיְבָרֲכֵם וַיִּרְבּוּ מְאֹד וּבְהֶמְתָּם לֹא יַמְעִֽיט׃ | 38 |
And He blesseth them, and they multiply exceedingly, And their cattle He doth not diminish.
| וַיִּמְעֲטוּ וַיָּשֹׁחוּ מֵעֹצֶר רָעָה וְיָגֽוֹן׃ | 39 |
And they are diminished, and bow down, By restraint, evil, and sorrow.
| שֹׁפֵךְ בּוּז עַל־נְדִיבִים וַיַּתְעֵם בְּתֹהוּ לֹא־דָֽרֶךְ׃ | 40 |
He is pouring contempt upon nobles, And causeth them to wander in vacancy — no way.
| וַיְשַׂגֵּב אֶבְיוֹן מֵעוֹנִי וַיָּשֶׂם כַּצֹּאן מִשְׁפָּחֽוֹת׃ | 41 |
And setteth on high the needy from affliction, And placeth families as a flock.
| יִרְאוּ יְשָׁרִים וְיִשְׂמָחוּ וְכָל־עַוְלָה קָפְצָה פִּֽיהָ׃ | 42 |
The upright do see and rejoice, And all perversity hath shut her mouth.
| מִי־חָכָם וְיִשְׁמָר־אֵלֶּה וְיִתְבּֽוֹנְנוּ חַֽסְדֵי יְהוָֽה׃ | 43 |
Who [is] wise, and observeth these? They understand the kind acts of Jehovah!
