Psalms 107

BOOK 5
1Give thanks to Yahweh,#107:1 “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “Lord” (all caps) in other translations. for he is good,
for his loving kindness endures forever.
2Let the redeemed by Yahweh say so,
whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
3and gathered 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 desert way.
They found no city to live in.
5Hungry and thirsty,
their soul fainted in them.
6Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble,
and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7He led them also by a straight way,
that they might go to a city to live in.
8Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness,
for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!
9For he satisfies the longing soul.
He fills the hungry soul with good.
10Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
being bound in affliction and iron,
11because they rebelled against the words of God,#107:11 The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “אֱלֹהִ֑ים” (Elohim).
and condemned the counsel of the Most High.
12Therefore he brought down their heart with labor.
They fell down, and there was no one to help.
13Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble,
and he saved them out of their distresses.
14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
and broke away their chains.
15Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness,
for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!
16For he has broken the gates of bronze,
and cut through bars of iron.
17Fools are afflicted because of their disobedience,
and because of their iniquities.
18Their soul abhors all kinds of food.
They draw near to the gates of death.
19Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble,
and he saves them out of their distresses.
20He sends his word, and heals them,
and delivers them from their graves.
21Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness,
for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!
22Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving,
and declare his deeds with singing.
23Those who go down to the sea in ships,
who do business in great waters,
24these see Yahweh’s deeds,
and his wonders in the deep.
25For he commands, and raises the stormy wind,
which lifts up its waves.
26They mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths.
Their soul melts away because of trouble.
27They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man,
and are at their wits’ end.
28Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble,
and he brings them out of their distress.
29He makes the storm a calm,
so that its waves are still.
30Then they are glad because it is calm,
so he brings them to their desired haven.
31Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness,
for his wonderful deeds for the children of men!
32Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people,
and praise him in the seat of the elders.
33He turns rivers into a desert,
water springs into a thirsty ground,
34and a fruitful land into a salt waste,
for the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
35He turns a desert into a pool of water,
and a dry land into water springs.
36There he makes the hungry live,
that they may prepare a city to live in,
37sow fields, plant vineyards,
and reap the fruits of increase.
38He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly.
He doesn’t allow their livestock to decrease.
39Again, they are diminished and bowed down
through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
40He pours contempt on princes,
and causes them to wander in a trackless waste.
41Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction,
and increases their families like a flock.
42The upright will see it, and be glad.
All the wicked will shut their mouths.
43Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things.
They will consider the loving kindnesses of Yahweh.

Tehillim (Psalms) 107
107
1Give thanks to יהוה! For He is good, For His loving-commitment is everlasting.
2Let the redeemed of יהוה say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
3And gathered out of the lands, From east and from west, From north and from south.
4They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert way; They found no city to dwell in.
5Hungry and thirsty, Their being in them grew faint.
6Then they cried out to יהוה in their distress, He delivered them out of their troubles.
7And He guided them by the right way, To go to a city to settle.
8Let them give thanks to יהוה for His loving-commitment, And His wonders to the children of men!
9For He has satisfied a longing being, And has filled the hungry being with goodness.
10Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Bound in affliction and irons,
11Because they rebelled against the words of Ěl, And despised the counsel of the Most High.
12And He humbled their heart by toil; They stumbled, and there was no one to help.
13And they cried out to יהוה in their distress, And He saved them out of their troubles.
14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And He broke their chains in pieces.
15Let them give thanks to יהוה for His loving-commitment, And His wonders to the children of men!
16For He has broken the gates of bronze, And He cut the bars of iron in two.
17Fools, because of their transgression, And because of their crookednesses, were afflicted.
18Their being loathed all food, And they drew near to the gates of death,
19And cried out to יהוה in their distress, He saved them out of their troubles.
20He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.
21Let them give thanks to יהוה for His loving-commitment, And His wonders to the children of men!
22And let them slaughter slaughterings of thanksgiving, And relate His works with rejoicing.
23Those who go down to the sea in ships, Doing work in many waters,
24They see the works of יהוה, And His wonders in the deep.
25For He commands and raises the stormy wind, Which lifts up the waves of the sea.
26They go up to the heavens, They go down to the depths; Their being is melted because of evil.
27They celebrate and stagger like a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.
28Then they cry out to יהוה in their distress, And He brings them out of their troubles.
29He caused the storm to be still, So that its waves were silent.
30And they rejoice because they are hushed; And He leads them to the haven of their delight.
31Let them give thanks to יהוה for His loving-commitment, And His wonders to the children of men!
32And let them exalt Him in the assembly of the people, And praise Him in the seat of the elders.
33He makes rivers become a wilderness, And the fountains of water become a dry ground;
34A land of fruit becomes a salty desert, For the evil of those who dwell in it.
35He makes a wilderness become a pool of water, And dry land become fountains of waters.
36And He causes the hungry to dwell there, And they build a city to settle in,
37And they sow fields and plant vineyards, And they make fruits of increase.
38And He blesses them, And they increase greatly; And He lets not their cattle diminish.
39But when they are diminished and brought low Through oppression, evil and sorrow,
40He pours scorn on nobles, And causes them to wander in a pathless waste;
41But He raises the poor up from affliction, And makes their clans like a flock.
42The straight ones see, and rejoice, And all unrighteousness shuts its mouth.
43Who is wise? Then let him observe these matters! Let them understand the loving-commitments of יהוה.
