LITV - Psalms - 107

107:1  Give thanks to Jehovah, for He is good; for His mercy endures forever.

107:2  Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so , whom He redeemed from the hand of the foe;

107:3  and gathered them from the lands; from east and from west; from north and from south.

107:4  They wandered in the wilderness, in a desert way; they found no city of dwelling;

107:5  hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them;

107:6  and they cried to Jehovah in their distress; He delivered them from their straits.

107:7  And He guided them in the right way; to go to a city of dwelling.

107:8  Let them thank Jehovah for His mercy, and His wonders to the sons of man.

107:9  He satisfies the thirsty soul, and He fills the hungry soul with good.

107:10  Those who live in the darkness, and in the shadow of death, being prisoners in affliction and iron,

107:11  because they rebelled against the words of God, and despised the counsel of the Most High;

107:12  and He humbled their heart by toil; they stumbled, and none were helping;

107:13  and they cried to Jehovah in their distress; He saved them out of their distresses;

107:14  He brought them out from darkness and the shadow of death; and He broke their bands apart.

107:15  Let them thank Jehovah for His mercy, and His wonders to the sons of man.

107:16  For He has broken the gates of bronze; and He cut bars of iron in two.

107:17  Fools are afflicted from the way of their rebellion, and from their iniquities;

107:18  their soul hates every food; and they touch the gates of death;

107:19  and they cried to Jehovah in their distress; He saved them from their straits;

107:20  He sent His word and healed them; and delivered them from all their pitfalls.

107:21  Let them thank Jehovah for His mercy, and His wonders to the sons of man.

107:22  And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and recount His works with rejoicing.

107:23  They who go down to the sea in ships, who work in the great waters;

107:24  these see the works of Jehovah, and His wonders in the deep.

107:25  For He speaks, and He raises stormy wind, and makes its waves high;

107:26  they go up to the heavens; they go down to the depths; their soul is melted because they are in evil;

107:27  they reel and stagger like a drunken man, and all their wisdom is swallowed up;

107:28  and they cry to Jehovah in their distress, and He saves them out of their straits.

107:29  He settles the storm to a whisper, so that its waves are still;

107:30  and they are glad, because they are quiet; and He led them to their desired haven.

107:31  Let them thank Jehovah for His mercy, and His wonders to the sons of mankind;

107:32  and exalt Him in the congregation of the people; and praise Him in the seat of the elders.

107:33  He sets rivers to a wilderness, and watersprings to thirsty ground;

107:34  a fruitful land to a salty desert; because of the wickedness of those who live in it.

107:35  He puts the wilderness into waterponds; and dry land into water-springs;

107:36  and He makes the hungry live there, and they may prepare a city of dwelling.

107:37  And they sow the fields, and plant vineyards, and make fruits of produce.

107:38  He also blesses them, so that they multiply greatly; and He does not allow their cattle to diminish;

107:39  but they are diminished and humbled, from coercion, evil and grief.

107:40  He pours scorn on nobles, and causes them to wander in a desert; there is no path.

107:41  But He raises the poor up from affliction, and He sets families like a flock.

107:42  The upright shall see and be glad; and all iniquity shuts its mouth.

107:43  Whoever is wise and will observe these things , they shall discern the mercies of Jehovah.
