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