Tehillim (Psa) 107

Book V: Psalms 107–150
1Give thanks to Adonai; for he is good,
for his grace continues forever.
2Let those redeemed by Adonai say it,
those he redeemed from the power of the foe.
3He gathered them from the lands,
from the east and from the west,
from the north and from the sea.
4They wandered in the desert, on paths through the wastes,
without finding any inhabited city.
5They were hungry and thirsty,
their life was ebbing away.
6In their trouble they cried to Adonai,
and he rescued them from their distress.
7He led them by a direct path
to a city where they could live.
8Let them give thanks to Adonai for his grace,
for his wonders bestowed on humanity!
9For he has satisfied the hungry,
filled the starving with good.
10Some lived in darkness, in death-dark gloom,
bound in misery and iron chains,
11because they defied God’s word,
scorned the counsel of the Most High.
12So he humbled their hearts by hard labor;
when they stumbled, no one came to their aid.
13In their trouble they cried to Adonai,
and he rescued them from their distress.
14He led them from darkness, from death-dark gloom,
shattering their chains.
15Let them give thanks to Adonai for his grace,
for his wonders bestowed on humanity!
16For he shattered bronze doors
and cut through iron bars.
17There were foolish people who suffered affliction
because of their crimes and sins;
18they couldn’t stand to eat anything;
they were near the gates of death.
19In their trouble they cried to Adonai,
and he rescued them from their distress;
20he sent his word and healed them,
he delivered them from destruction.
21Let them give thanks to Adonai for his grace,
for his wonders bestowed on humanity!
22Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving
and proclaim his great deeds with songs of joy.
23Those who go down to the sea in ships,
plying their trade on the great ocean,
24saw the works of Adonai,
his wonders in the deep.
25For at his word the storm-wind arose,
lifting up towering waves.
26The sailors were raised up to the sky,
then plunged into the depths.
At the danger, their courage failed them,
27they reeled and staggered like drunk men,
and all their skill was swallowed up.
28In their trouble they cried to Adonai,
and he rescued them from their distress.
29He silenced the storm and stilled its waves,
30and they rejoiced as the sea grew calm.
Then he brought them safely
to their desired port.
31Let them give thanks to Adonai for his grace,
for his wonders bestowed on humanity!
32Let them extol him in the assembly of the people
and praise him in the leaders’ council.
33He turns rivers into desert,
flowing springs into thirsty ground,
34productive land into salt flats,
because the people living there are so wicked.
35But he also turns desert into pools of water,
dry land into flowing springs;
36there he gives the hungry a home,
and they build a city to live in;
37there they sow fields and plant vineyards,
which yield an abundant harvest.
38He blesses them, their numbers grow,
and he doesn’t let their livestock decrease.
39When their numbers fall, and they grow weak,
because of oppression, disaster and sorrow,
40he pours contempt on princes
and leaves them to wander in trackless wastes.
41But the needy he raises up from their distress
and increases their families like sheep.
42When the upright see this, they rejoice;
while the wicked are reduced to silence.
43Let whoever is wise observe these things
and consider Adonai’s loving deeds.

107
1O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good:
For his mercy endureth for ever.
2Let the redeemed of the LORD say so,
Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west,
From the north, and from the south.
4They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way;
They found no city to dwell in.
5Hungry and thirsty,
Their soul fainted in them.
6Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble,
And he delivered them out of their distresses.
7And he led them forth by the right way,
That they might go to a city of habitation.
8Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness,
And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9For he satisfieth the longing soul,
And filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
10Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
Being bound in affliction and iron;
11Because they rebelled against the words of God,
And contemned the counsel of the Most High:
12Therefore he brought down their heart with labour;
They fell down, and there was none to help.
13Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble,
And he saved them out of their distresses.
14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
And brake their bands in sunder.
15Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness,
And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
16For he hath broken the gates of brass,
And cut the bars of iron in sunder.
17Fools because of their transgression,
And because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
18Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat;
And they draw near unto the gates of death.
19Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble,
And he saveth them out of their distresses.
20He sent his word, and healed them,
And delivered them from their destructions.
21Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness,
And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
22And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving,
And declare his works with rejoicing.
23They that go down to the sea in ships,
That do business in great waters;
24These see the works of the LORD,
And his wonders in the deep.
25For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind,
Which lifteth up the waves thereof.
26They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths:
Their soul is melted because of trouble.
27They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,
And are at their wits' end.
28Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble,
And he bringeth them out of their distresses.
29He maketh the storm a calm,
So that the waves thereof are still.
30Then are they glad because they be quiet;
So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
31Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness,
And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
32Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people,
And praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33He turneth rivers into a wilderness,
And the watersprings into dry ground;
34A fruitful land into barrenness,
For the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35He turneth the wilderness into a standing water,
And dry ground into watersprings.
36And there he maketh the hungry
To dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
37And sow the fields, and plant vineyards,
Which may yield fruits of increase.
38He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly;
And suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39Again, they are minished and brought low
Through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
40He poureth contempt upon princes,
And causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
41Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction,
And maketh him families like a flock.
42The righteous shall see it, and rejoice:
And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43Whoso is wise, and will observe these things,
Even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
