107:1 Give thanks to Lord Jehovah, because he is good, and his grace is for eternity.
107:2 The redeemed of Lord Jehovah will say that he saved them from the hand of the oppressor.
107:3 From all the lands he gathered them- from the East and from the West, from the North and from the Sea.
107:4 And they were lost in the wilderness of the deserts and they did not find the road of an inhabited city.
107:5 They were hungry and thirsty and their souls were agitated.
107:6 They begged of Lord Jehovah in their sufferings and he brought them out from their griefs.
107:7 He walked them in the way of truth to go to inhabited cities.
107:8 His righteous ones shall thank Lord Jehovah for his mercies upon the sons of men.
107:9 Because he satisfies the afflicted souls and he fills the hungry soul-
107:10 Those who sit in darkness and in the shadows of death, and are bound in poverty and in irons.
107:11 Because they bitterly provoked the Word of God and rejected the counsel of The Highest
107:12 He broke their heart with toil and they were sick and there was no helper for them.
107:13 And they prayed to Lord Jehovah in their adversity and he saved them from their adversity.
107:14 He brought them out from darkness and from the shadow of death and he cut their bonds.
107:15 His righteous ones shall confess to Lord Jehovah that his mercies are upon the children of men.
107:16 Because he shattered the gates of brass and has cut down the bars of iron.
107:17 He helped them from the way of their sins and they were humbled by their evils.
107:18 Their souls had hated all food and had arrived unto the gates of death.
107:19 They begged Lord Jehovah in their sufferings and he brought them out from their adversity.
107:20 He sent his word and he healed them and delivered them from destruction.
107:21 His righteous ones shall confess Lord Jehovah for his mercies upon the children of men.
107:22 Sacrifice to him sacrifices of praise; praise his works with his wonders!
107:23 Those who go down to the sea in ships and do work in the great waters
107:24 They have seen the works of Lord Jehovah and his wonders in the depths of the sea!
107:25 For he has raised up the wind of hurricanes and the waves of the sea were lifted up.
107:26 They went up to the sky and went down to the abyss and their soul staggered within them.
107:27 They shook and were agitated like drunkards and all their wisdom came to nothing.
107:28 They cried to Lord Jehovah in their sufferings and he brought them out from their adversity.
107:29 He calmed the hurricanes and they stopped and the waves of the sea were quieted.
107:30 And they rejoiced when they stopped; he led them to the haven that they had chosen.
107:31 His righteous ones shall thank Lord Jehovah for his mercies upon the children of men.
107:32 Praise him in the congregation of the nations and exalt him upon the seat of the Elders.
107:33 For he makes the rivers like the wilderness and the springs of water thirsty.
107:34 The land has given its fruit to a salt pit by the works of the evil ones who inhabit it.
107:35 For he makes the wilderness pools of waters and a thirsty land into springs of waters.
107:36 He makes the hungry to dwell there and they have built cities and have dwelt in them.
107:37 They sowed the fields and they planted vineyards and they ate from the fruit of their crops.
107:38 He blessed them and they multiplied greatly and he did not diminish their cattle.
107:39 And they decreased and they were humbled in the abundance of evil and of misery.
107:40 He casts evil upon Rulers and makes them wander in a trackless waste without a road.
107:41 And he strengthened the poor and he made their families like flocks.
107:42 For the righteous ones will see and will rejoice and all the evil ones will shut their jaws.
107:43 He who is wise will keep these things and will make known the mercy of Lord Jehovah.
