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!
