Salmo 107 Literal Standard Version

1071 “Give thanks to YHWH, || For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time”: 2 Let the redeemed of YHWH say [so], || Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary. 3 And has gathered them from the lands, || From east and from west, || From north, and from the sea. 4 They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, || They have not found a city of habitation. 5 Hungry—indeed—thirsty, || Their soul becomes feeble in them, 6 And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, || He delivers them from their distress, 7 And causes them to tread in a right way, || To go to a city of habitation. 8 They confess to YHWH His kindness, || And His wonders to the sons of men. 9 For He has satisfied a longing soul, || And has filled a hungry soul [with] goodness. 10 Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, || Prisoners of affliction and of iron, 11 Because they changed the saying of God, || And despised the counsel of the Most High. 12 And He humbles their heart with labor, || They have been feeble, and there is no helper. 13 And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, || He saves them from their distresses. 14 He brings them out from the dark place, || And death-shade, || And He draws away their bands. 15 They confess to YHWH His kindness, || And His wonders to the sons of men. 16 For He has broken doors of bronze, || And He has cut bars of iron. 17 Fools, by means of their transgression, || And by their iniquities, afflict themselves. 18 Their soul detests all food, || And they come near to the gates of death, 19 And cry to YHWH in their adversity, || He saves them from their distresses, 20 He sends His word and heals them, || And delivers [them] from their destructions. 21 They confess to YHWH His kindness, || And His wonders to the sons of men, 22 And they sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving, || And recount His works with singing. 23 Those going down [to] the sea in ships, || Doing business in many waters, 24 They have seen the works of YHWH, || And His wonders in the deep. 25 And He commands, and appoints a storm, || And it lifts up its billows, 26 They go up [to] the heavens, they go down [to] the depths, || Their soul is melted in evil. 27 They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, || And all their wisdom is swallowed up. 28 And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, || And He brings them out from their distresses. 29 He calms a whirlwind, || And their billows are hushed. 30 And they rejoice because they are quiet, || And He leads them to the haven of their desire. 31 They confess to YHWH His kindness, || And His wonders to the sons of men, 32 And they exalt Him in [the] assembly of [the] people, || And praise Him in [the] seat of [the] elderly. 33 He makes rivers become a wilderness, || And fountains of waters become dry land. 34 A fruitful land becomes a barren place, || For the wickedness of its inhabitants. 35 He makes a wilderness become a pool of water, || And a dry land become fountains of waters. 36 And He causes the hungry to dwell there, || And they prepare a city of habitation. 37 And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, || And they make fruits of increase. 38 And He blesses them, and they multiply exceedingly, || And He does not diminish their livestock. 39 And they are diminished, and bow down, || By restraint, evil, and sorrow. 40 He is pouring contempt on nobles, || And causes them to wander in vacancy—no way. 41 And sets the needy on high from affliction, || And places families as a flock. 42 The upright see and rejoice, || And all perversity has shut her mouth. 43 Who [is] wise, and observes these? They understand the kind acts of YHWH!
