Rotherham - Psalms - 107

107:1  O give thanks to Yahweh—For he is good, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

107:2  Let the redeemed of Yahweh say, Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary;

107:3  And, out of the lands, hath gathered them—From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.

107:4  They wandered about in the desert—in a waste, Way to a city to dwell in, found they none;

107:5  Hungry—yea thirsty, their soul, within them, fainted:

107:6  Then made they outcry to Yahweh, in their peril, Out of their distresses, he rescued them;

107:7  And led them by a straight road, That they might journey to a city to dwell in.

107:8  Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his lovingkindness, and for his wonderful dealings with the sons of men;

107:9  For he hath satisfied the longing soul, and, the famished soul, hath he filled with good.

107:10  The dwellers in darkness and death-shade, bound with oppression and iron;

107:11  Because they had rebelled against the sayings of GOD,—and, the counsel of the Most High, they had spurned;

107:12  And he bowed down, with labour, their heart, They staggered, with no one to help,

107:13  Then made they outcry to Yahweh in their peril, Out of their distresses, he saved them;

107:14  He brought them forth out of darkness and death-shade, and, their fetters, he tare off.

107:15  Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his lovingkindness, and for his wonderful dealings with the sons of men!

107:16  For he brake in pieces the doors of bronze, And, the bars of iron, he hewed asunder.

107:17  The perverse, by reason of their transgression, and on account of their iniquities, are afflicted;

107:18  All manner of food, their soul abhorreth, and so they draw near unto the gates of death,

107:19  Then make they outcry to Yahweh in their peril, and, out of their distresses, he saveth them.

107:20  He sendeth his word, and healeth them, and delivereth them from their graves.

107:21  Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his lovingkindness, and for his wonderful dealings with the sons of men!

107:22  Yea let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and recount his works with a shout.

107:23  Men who go down to the sea, in ships, doing business through mighty waters;

107:24  They, see the works of Yahweh, and his wonders in the deep;

107:25  And he speaketh, and there ariseth a tempestuous wind, which lifteth on high its rolling waves;

107:26  They mount the heavens, they descend the roaring deeps, their soul, by trouble, dissolveth;

107:27  They reel and stagger, like a drunken man, and, all their wisdom, is engulfed,

107:28  Then make they outcry to Yahweh in their peril, and, out of their distresses, he bringeth them forth,

107:29  He calmeth the storm to a whisper, and silent are their rolling waves:

107:30  Then are they glad, because they are hushed, And he guideth them unto their desired haven.

107:31  Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his lovingkindness, and for his wonderful dealings with the sons of men!

107:32  Yea let them extol him in the convocation of the people, and, in the seated company of elders, let them praise him.

107:33  He turneth Rivers into a desert, and, Springs of Water, into thirsty ground,

107:34  A Land of Fruit, into a waste of salt, For the wickedness of them who dwell therein.

107:35  He turneth A Desert, into a pool of water, and, A Parched Land into springs of water;

107:36  And hath caused the famished to dwell there, And they have built them a city to dwell in;

107:37  And have sown fields, and planted vineyards, and made them fruits of increase:

107:38  Thus hath he blessed them, and they have multiplied greatly, And, their cattle, he maketh not few.

107:39  So have they become few and been brought low, By oppression, misfortune, and sorrow;

107:40  He poureth contempt upon nobles, and causeth them to wander in a pathless waste;

107:41  But he hath set the needy on high from affliction, and made families, like a flock:—

107:42  The upright seeth and is glad, And, all perverseness, hath closed her mouth.

107:43  Who is wise? then let him observe these things! and diligently consider the lovingkindness of Yahweh.
