| 107:1 |
O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
|
| 107:2 |
Let those whose cause the Lord has taken up say so, his people whom he has taken out of the hands of their haters;
|
| 107:3 |
Making them come together out of all the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
|
| 107:4 |
They were wandering in the waste places; they saw no way to a resting-place.
|
| 107:5 |
Their souls became feeble for need of food and drink.
|
| 107:6 |
Then they sent up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gave them salvation out of all their troubles;
|
| 107:7 |
Guiding them in the right way, so that they might come into the town of their resting-place.
|
| 107:8 |
Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!
|
| 107:9 |
He gives its desire to the unresting soul, so that it is full of good things.
|
| 107:10 |
Those who were in the dark, in the black night, in chains of sorrow and iron;
|
| 107:11 |
Because they went against the words of God, and gave no thought to the laws of the Most High:
|
| 107:12 |
So that he made their hearts weighted down with grief; they were falling, and had no helper.
|
| 107:13 |
Then they sent up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gave them salvation out of all their troubles.
|
| 107:14 |
He took them out of the dark and the black night, and all their chains were broken.
|
| 107:15 |
Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!
|
| 107:16 |
The doors of brass are broken by his arm, and the bands of iron are cut in two.
|
| 107:17 |
Foolish men, because of their sins, and because of their wrongdoing, are troubled;
|
| 107:18 |
They are disgusted by all food, and they come near to the doors of death.
|
| 107:19 |
Then they send up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gives them salvation out of all their troubles.
|
| 107:20 |
He sent his word and made them well, and kept them safe from the underworld.
|
| 107:21 |
Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!
|
| 107:22 |
Let them make offerings of praise, giving news of his works with cries of joy.
|
| 107:23 |
Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business in the great waters;
|
| 107:24 |
They see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.
|
| 107:25 |
For at his word comes up the storm-wind, lifting high the waves.
|
| 107:26 |
The sailors go up to heaven, and down into the deep; their souls are wasted because of their trouble.
|
| 107:27 |
They are turned here and there, rolling like a man who is full of wine; and all their wisdom comes to nothing.
|
| 107:28 |
Then they send up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gives them salvation out of all their troubles.
|
| 107:29 |
He makes the storm into a calm, so that the waves are at peace.
|
| 107:30 |
Then they are glad, because the sea is quiet, and he takes them to the harbour of their desire.
|
| 107:31 |
Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!
|
| 107:32 |
Let them give glory to him in the meeting of the people, and praise among the chiefs.
|
| 107:33 |
He makes rivers into waste places, and springs of water into a dry land;
|
| 107:34 |
He makes a fertile country into a salt waste, because of the sins of those who are living there.
|
| 107:35 |
He makes a waste land into a place of water, and a dry land into water-springs.
|
| 107:36 |
And there he gives the poor a resting-place, so that they may make themselves a town;
|
| 107:37 |
And put seed in the fields and make vine-gardens, to give them fruit.
|
| 107:38 |
He gives them his blessing so that they are increased greatly, and their cattle do not become less.
|
| 107:39 |
And when they are made low, and crushed by trouble and sorrow,
|
| 107:40 |
He puts an end to the pride of kings, and sends them wandering in the waste lands where there is no way.
|
| 107:41 |
But he puts the poor man on high from his troubles, and gives him families like a flock.
|
| 107:42 |
The upright see it and are glad: the mouth of the sinner is stopped.
|
| 107:43 |
Let the wise give thought to these things, and see the mercies of the Lord.
