Psa 107:1
Oh give H3034 thanks H3034 to Yahweh H3068, for He is good H2896,
For His lovingkindness H2617 endures forever H5769.
Psa 107:2
Let the redeemed H1350 of Yahweh H3068 say H559 so,
Whom H834 He has redeemed H1350 from the hand H3027 of the adversary H6862
Psa 107:3
And gathered H6908 from the lands H776,
From the east H4217 and from the west H4628,
From the north H6828 and from the [fn]south H3220.
Psa 107:4
They wandered H8582 in the wilderness H4057 along the way H1870 of the wasteland H3452;
They did not find H4672 an inhabited H4186 city H5892.
Psa 107:5
Hungry H7457 [fn]and thirsty H6771,
Their soul H5315 fainted H5848 within them.
Psa 107:6
Then they cried H6817 out H6817 to Yahweh H3068 in their trouble H6862;
He delivered H5337 them out H5337 of their distresses H4691.
Psa 107:7
He led H1869 them by a [fn]straight H3477 way H1870,
To go H1980 to an inhabited H4186 city H5892.
Psa 107:8
Let them give H3034 thanks H3034 to Yahweh H3068 for His lovingkindness H2617,
And for His wondrous H6381 deeds H6381 to the sons H1121 of men H120!
Psa 107:9
For He has satisfied H7646 the [fn]thirsty H8264 soul H5315,
And the hungry H7457 soul H5315 He has filled H4390 with what H2896 is H2896 good H2896.
Psa 107:10
There were those who inhabited H3427 darkness H2822 and the shadow H6757 of H6757 death H6757,
Prisoners H615 in affliction H6040 and irons H1270,
Psa 107:11
Because H3588 they had rebelled H4784 against the words H561 of God H410
And spurned H5006 the counsel H6098 of the Most H5945 High H5945.
Psa 107:12
So He subdued H3665 their heart H3820 with labor H5999;
They stumbled H3782 and there H369 was H369 none H369 to help H5826.
Psa 107:13
Then they cried H2199 out H2199 to Yahweh H3068 in their trouble H6862;
He saved H3467 them out of their distresses H4691.
Psa 107:14
He brought H3318 them out H3318 of darkness H2822 and the shadow H6757 of H6757 death H6757
And broke H5423 their bands H4147 apart H5423.
Psa 107:15
Psa 107:16
For He has shattered H7665 the doors H1817 of bronze H5178
And cut H1438 through the bars H1280 of iron H1270.
Psa 107:17
[fn]Ignorant H191 fools H191, because H4480 of their way H1870 of transgression H6588,
And because H4480 of their iniquities H5771, were afflicted H6031.
Psa 107:18
Their soul H5315 abhorred H8581 all H3605 kinds of food H400,
And they reached H5060 the gates H8179 of death H4194.
Psa 107:19
Psa 107:20
He sent H7971 His word H1697 and healed H7495 them,
And provided H4422 them escape H4422 from their [fn]destructions H7825.
Psa 107:21
Psa 107:22
Let them also offer H2076 sacrifices H2077 of thanksgiving H8426,
And recount H5608 His works H4639 with joyful H7440 singing H7440.
Psa 107:23
Those who go H3381 down H3381 to the sea H3220 in ships H591,
Who do H6213 business H4399 on many H7227 waters H4325;
Psa 107:24
They have seen H7200 the works H4639 of Yahweh H3068,
And His wondrous H6381 deeds H6381 in the deep H4688.
Psa 107:25
He spoke H559 and set H5975 up a stormy H5591 wind H7307,
Which raised H7311 up H7311 the waves H1530 [fn]of the sea.
Psa 107:26
They went H5927 up H5927 to the heavens H8064, they went H3381 down H3381 to the depths H8415;
Their soul H5315 melted H4127 away H4127 in the [fn]calamity H7451.
Psa 107:27
They staggered H2287 and swayed H5128 like a drunken H7910 man H7910,
And all H3605 their wisdom H2451 was swallowed H1104 up H1104.
Psa 107:28
Then they cried H6817 to Yahweh H3068 in their trouble H6862,
And He brought H3318 them out H3318 of their distresses H4691.
Psa 107:29
He caused H6965 the storm H5591 to stand H6965 still H1827,
So that its waves H1530 were hushed H2814.
Psa 107:30
Then they were H8055 glad H8055 because H3588 they were quiet H8367,
So He led H5148 them to their desired H2656 haven H4231.
Psa 107:31
Psa 107:32
Let them exalt H7311 Him also in the assembly H6951 of the people H5971,
And praise H1984 Him at the seat H4186 of the elders H2205.
Psa 107:33
He [fn]makes H7760 rivers H5104 into a [fn]wilderness H4057
And springs H4161 of water H4325 into a thirsty H6774 ground H6774;
Psa 107:34
A fruitful H6529 land H776 into a salt H4420 waste H4420,
Because H4480 of the evil H7451 of those who inhabited H3427 it.
Psa 107:35
He makes H7760 a wilderness H4057 into a pool H98 of water H4325
And a dry H6723 land H776 into springs H4161 of water H4325;
Psa 107:36
And there H8033 He causes the hungry H7457 to inhabit H3427,
So that they may establish H3559 an inhabited H4186 city H5892,
Psa 107:37
And sow H2232 fields H7704 and plant H5193 vineyards H3754,
And produce H6213 a fruitful H6529 harvest H8393.
Psa 107:38
Also He blesses H1288 them and they multiply H7235 greatly H3966,
And He does not let their cattle H929 decrease H4591.
Psa 107:39
But when they decrease H4591 and are bowed H7817 down H7817
Through H4480 oppression H6115, evil H7451, and sorrow H3015,
Psa 107:40
He pours H8210 contempt H937 upon nobles H5081
And makes them wander H8582 in a pathless H3808 H1870 void H8414.
Psa 107:41
But He sets H7682 the needy H34 [fn]securely H7682 on H7682 high H7682 away from affliction H6040,
And makes H7760 his families H4940 like a flock H6629.
Psa 107:42
The upright H3477 see H7200 it and are H8055 glad H8055;
But all H3605 unrighteousness H5766 shuts H7092 its mouth H6310.
Psa 107:43
Who H4310 is wise H2450? Let him keep H8104 these H428 things H428,
And carefully H995 consider H995 the lovingkindnesses H2617 of Yahweh H3068.
