Psalms 107
107
His Chesed and His Wonders
1Praise Adonai, for He is good, for His lovingkindness endures forever.
2Let the redeemed of Adonai say so— whom He redeemed from the hand of the foe,
3whom He gathered out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the sea.
4Some wandered in a desert, a wasteland. They found no way to an inhabited city.
5Hungry and thirsty, their souls ebbed away.
6So they cried out to Adonai in their distress, and He delivered them out of their troubles.
7Then He led them by a straight way to go to a city where they could live.
8Let them praise Adonai for His mercy and His wonders for the children of men,
9for He satisfies the thirsty soul and fills the hungry soul with goodness.
10Some sat in darkness and deep gloom, prisoners in misery and iron chains,
11for they had defied God’s words, and spurned the counsel of Elyon.
12So He humbled their heart with trouble. They stumbled, and no one was helping.
13So they cried out to Adonai in their distress, and He delivered them out of their troubles.
14He brought them out of darkness and deep gloom, breaking their chains.
15Let them praise Adonai for His mercy, and His wonders for the children of men,
16for He shattered bronze gates, and broke into pieces iron bars.
17Some became fools because of their rebellious ways, and were afflicted due to their iniquities.
18Their soul abhorred all food, and they drew near the gates of death.
19So they cried out to Adonai in their distress, and He delivered them out of their troubles.
20He sent His word and healed them, and rescued them from their pits.
21Let them praise Adonai for His mercy, and His wonders for the children of men.
22Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of His works with joyful singing.
23Some go out to the sea in ships, doing business on the mighty waters.
24They saw the works of Adonai, and His wonders in the deep.
25For He spoke and raised a stormy wind, lifting up towering waves.
26They mounted up to the sky and plunged down to the depths. In their peril their souls melted away.
27They reeled and staggered like a drunk, and all their skill was bewildered.
28So they cried out to Adonai in their distress, and He brought them out of their troubles.
29He stilled the storm to a whisper— the waves were hushed.
30They were glad when it became calm, and He led them to their desired haven.
31Let them praise Adonai for His mercy, and His wonders to the children of men.
32Let them exalt Him in the congregation of the people, and praise Him at the assembly of elders.
33He turns rivers into a wilderness and springs of water into thirsty ground,
34and a fruitful land into a salt waste, because of the evil of its inhabitants.
35He turns a desert into a pool of water, a dry land into springs of water.
36There He brings the hungry to live, and they establish a city for a dwelling.
37So they sow fields and plant vineyards that yield a fruitful harvest.
38He blesses them, they multiply greatly, and He does not let their herds diminish,
39after they were few and crushed by oppression, calamity and sorrow.
40He pours contempt on princes, making them wander in trackless waste.
41But He lifts the needy high above affliction, and makes their families like a flock.
42The upright see it and are glad, and all iniquity shuts its mouth.
43Who is wise? Let him observe these things, and consider Adonai’s lovingkindness.

Psalms 107
107
1‘Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age [is] His kindness:’
2Let the redeemed of Jehovah say, Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary.
3And from the lands hath gathered them, From east and from west, From north, and from the sea.
4They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, A city of habitation they have not found.
5Hungry — yea — thirsty, Their soul in them becometh feeble,
6And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distress He delivereth them,
7And causeth them to tread in a right way, To go unto a city of habitation.
8They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
9For He hath satisfied a longing soul, And a hungry soul hath filled [with] goodness.
10Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of affliction and of iron,
11Because they changed the saying of God, And the counsel of the Most High despised.
12And He humbleth with labour their heart, They have been feeble, and there is no helper.
13And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them.
14He bringeth them out from the dark place, And death-shade, And their bands He draweth away.
15They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
16For He hath broken doors of brass, And bars of iron He hath cut.
17Fools, by means of their transgression, And by their iniquities, afflict themselves.
18All food doth their soul abominate, And they come nigh unto the gates of death,
19And cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them,
20He sendeth His word and healeth them, And delivereth from their destructions.
21They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
22And they sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving, And recount His works with singing.
23Those going down [to] the sea in ships, Doing business in many waters,
24They have seen the works of Jehovah, And His wonders in the deep.
25And He saith, and appointeth a tempest, And it lifteth up its billows,
26They go up [to] the heavens, they go down [to] the depths, Their soul in evil is melted.
27They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.
28And they cry to Jehovah in their adversity, And from their distresses He bringeth them out.
29He establisheth a whirlwind to a calm, And hushed are their billows.
30And they rejoice because they are quiet, And He leadeth them to the haven of their desire.
31They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
32And they exalt Him in the assembly of the people, And in the seat of the elders praise Him.
33He maketh rivers become a wilderness, And fountains of waters become dry land.
34A fruitful land becometh a barren place, For the wickedness of its inhabitants.
35He maketh a wilderness become a pool of water, And a dry land become fountains of waters.
36And He causeth the hungry to dwell there, And they prepare a city of habitation.
37And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, And they make fruits of increase.
38And He blesseth them, and they multiply exceedingly, And their cattle He doth not diminish.
39And they are diminished, and bow down, By restraint, evil, and sorrow.
40He is pouring contempt upon nobles, And causeth them to wander in vacancy — no way.
41And setteth on high the needy from affliction, And placeth families as a flock.
42The upright do see and rejoice, And all perversity hath shut her mouth.
43Who [is] wise, and observeth these? They understand the kind acts of Jehovah!
