Ps 107

OO give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. (LXX 106:1; Rahlfs 106:1) הֹד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה כִּי־ט֑וֹב כִּ֖י לְעוֹלָ֣ם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃ 2Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; (LXX 106:2; Rahlfs 106:2) יֹ֭אמְרוּ גְּאוּלֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר גְּ֝אָלָ֗ם מִיַּד־צָֽר׃ 3And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. (LXX 106:3; Rahlfs 106:3) וּֽמֵאֲרָצ֗וֹת קִ֫בְּצָ֥ם מִמִּזְרָ֥ח וּמִֽמַּעֲרָ֑ב מִצָּפ֥וֹן וּמִיָּֽם׃ 4They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. (LXX 106:4; Rahlfs 106:4) תָּע֣וּ בַ֭מִּדְבָּר בִּישִׁימ֣וֹן דָּ֑רֶךְ עִ֥יר מ֝וֹשָׁ֗ב לֹ֣א מָצָֽאוּ׃ 5Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. (LXX 106:5; Rahlfs 106:5) רְעֵבִ֥ים גַּם־צְמֵאִ֑ים נַ֝פְשָׁ֗ם בָּהֶ֥ם תִּתְעַטָּֽף׃ 6Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. (LXX 106:6; Rahlfs 106:6) וַיִּצְעֲק֣וּ אֶל־יְ֭הוָה בַּצַּ֣ר לָהֶ֑ם מִ֝מְּצֽוּקוֹתֵיהֶ֗ם יַצִּילֵֽם׃ 7And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. (LXX 106:7; Rahlfs 106:7) וַ֭יַּֽדְרִיכֵם בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ יְשָׁרָ֑ה לָ֝לֶ֗כֶת אֶל־עִ֥יר מוֹשָֽׁב׃ 8Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! (LXX 106:8; Rahlfs 106:8) יוֹד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה חַסְדּ֑וֹ וְ֝נִפְלְאוֹתָ֗יו לִבְנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃ 9For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. (LXX 106:9; Rahlfs 106:9) כִּי־הִ֭שְׂבִּיעַ נֶ֣פֶשׁ שֹׁקֵקָ֑ה וְנֶ֥פֶשׁ רְ֝עֵבָה מִלֵּא־טֽוֹב׃ 10Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron; (LXX 106:10; Rahlfs 106:10) יֹ֭שְׁבֵי חֹ֣שֶׁךְ וְצַלְמָ֑וֶת אֲסִירֵ֖י עֳנִ֣י וּבַרְזֶֽל׃ 11Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High: (LXX 106:11; Rahlfs 106:11) כִּֽי־הִמְר֥וּ אִמְרֵי־אֵ֑ל וַעֲצַ֖ת עֶלְי֣וֹן נָאָֽצוּ׃ 12Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help. (LXX 106:12; Rahlfs 106:12) וַיַּכְנַ֣ע בֶּעָמָ֣ל לִבָּ֑ם כָּ֝שְׁל֗וּ וְאֵ֣ין עֹזֵֽר׃ 13Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. (LXX 106:13; Rahlfs 106:13) וַיִּזְעֲק֣וּ אֶל־יְ֭הוָה בַּצַּ֣ר לָהֶ֑ם מִ֝מְּצֻֽקוֹתֵיהֶ֗ם יוֹשִׁיעֵֽם׃ 14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder. (LXX 106:14; Rahlfs 106:14) יֽ֭וֹצִיאֵם מֵחֹ֣שֶׁךְ וְצַלְמָ֑וֶת וּמוֹסְר֖וֹתֵיהֶ֣ם יְנַתֵּֽק׃ 15Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! (LXX 106:15; Rahlfs 106:15) יוֹד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה חַסְדּ֑וֹ וְ֝נִפְלְאוֹתָ֗יו לִבְנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃ 16For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder. (LXX 106:16; Rahlfs 106:16) כִּֽי־שִׁ֭בַּר דַּלְת֣וֹת נְחֹ֑שֶׁת וּבְרִיחֵ֖י בַרְזֶ֣ל גִּדֵּֽעַ׃ 17Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. (LXX 106:17; Rahlfs 106:17) אֱ֭וִלִים מִדֶּ֣רֶךְ פִּשְׁעָ֑ם וּֽ֝מֵעֲוֺֽנֹתֵיהֶ֗ם יִתְעַנּֽוּ׃ 18Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. (LXX 106:18; Rahlfs 106:18) כָּל־אֹ֭כֶל תְּתַעֵ֣ב נַפְשָׁ֑ם וַ֝יַּגִּ֗יעוּ עַד־שַׁ֥עֲרֵי מָֽוֶת׃ 19Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. (LXX 106:19; Rahlfs 106:19) וַיִּזְעֲק֣וּ אֶל־יְ֭הוָה בַּצַּ֣ר לָהֶ֑ם מִ֝מְּצֻֽקוֹתֵיהֶ֗ם יוֹשִׁיעֵֽם׃ 20He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. (LXX 106:20; Rahlfs 106:20) יִשְׁלַ֣ח דְּ֭בָרוֹ וְיִרְפָּאֵ֑ם וִֽ֝ימַלֵּ֗ט מִשְּׁחִיתוֹתָֽם׃׆ 21Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! (LXX 106:21; Rahlfs 106:21) יוֹד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה חַסְדּ֑וֹ וְ֝נִפְלְאוֹתָ֗יו לִבְנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃׆ 22And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing. (LXX 106:22; Rahlfs 106:22) וְ֭יִזְבְּחוּ זִבְחֵ֣י תוֹדָ֑ה וִֽיסַפְּר֖וּ מַעֲשָׂ֣יו בְּרִנָּֽה׃׆ 23They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; (LXX 106:23; Rahlfs 106:23) יוֹרְדֵ֣י הַ֭יָּם בָּאֳנִיּ֑וֹת עֹשֵׂ֥י מְ֝לָאכָ֗ה בְּמַ֣יִם רַבִּֽים׃׆ 24These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. (LXX 106:24; Rahlfs 106:24) הֵ֣מָּה רָ֭אוּ מַעֲשֵׂ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וְ֝נִפְלְאוֹתָ֗יו בִּמְצוּלָֽה׃׆ 25For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. (LXX 106:25; Rahlfs 106:25) וַיֹּ֗אמֶר וַֽ֭יַּעֲמֵד ר֣וּחַ סְעָרָ֑ה וַתְּרוֹמֵ֥ם גַּלָּֽיו׃׆ 26They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. (LXX 106:26; Rahlfs 106:26) יַעֲל֣וּ שָׁ֭מַיִם יֵרְד֣וּ תְהוֹמ֑וֹת נַ֝פְשָׁ֗ם בְּרָעָ֥ה תִתְמוֹגָֽג׃ 27They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end. (LXX 106:27; Rahlfs 106:27) יָח֣וֹגּוּ וְ֭יָנוּעוּ כַּשִּׁכּ֑וֹר וְכָל־חָ֝כְמָתָ֗ם תִּתְבַּלָּֽע׃ 28Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. (LXX 106:28; Rahlfs 106:28) וַיִּצְעֲק֣וּ אֶל־יְ֭הוָה בַּצַּ֣ר לָהֶ֑ם וּֽ֝מִמְּצֽוּקֹתֵיהֶ֗ם יוֹצִיאֵֽם׃ 29He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. (LXX 106:29; Rahlfs 106:29) יָקֵ֣ם סְ֭עָרָה לִדְמָמָ֑ה וַ֝יֶּחֱשׁ֗וּ גַּלֵּיהֶֽם׃ 30Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. (LXX 106:30; Rahlfs 106:30) וַיִּשְׂמְח֥וּ כִֽי־יִשְׁתֹּ֑קוּ וַ֝יַּנְחֵ֗ם אֶל־מְח֥וֹז חֶפְצָֽם׃ 31Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! (LXX 106:31; Rahlfs 106:31) יוֹד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה חַסְדּ֑וֹ וְ֝נִפְלְאוֹתָ֗יו לִבְנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃ 32Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. (LXX 106:32; Rahlfs 106:32) וִֽ֭ירֹמְמוּהוּ בִּקְהַל־עָ֑ם וּבְמוֹשַׁ֖ב זְקֵנִ֣ים יְהַלְלֽוּהוּ׃ 33He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground; (LXX 106:33; Rahlfs 106:33) יָשֵׂ֣ם נְהָר֣וֹת לְמִדְבָּ֑ר וּמֹצָ֥אֵי מַ֝֗יִם לְצִמָּאֽוֹן׃ 34A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. (LXX 106:34; Rahlfs 106:34) אֶ֣רֶץ פְּ֭רִי לִמְלֵחָ֑ה מֵ֝רָעַ֗ת יֹ֣שְׁבֵי בָֽהּ׃ 35He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings. (LXX 106:35; Rahlfs 106:35) יָשֵׂ֣ם מִ֭דְבָּר לַֽאֲגַם־מַ֑יִם וְאֶ֥רֶץ צִ֝יָּ֗ה לְמֹצָ֥אֵי מָֽיִם׃ 36And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation; (LXX 106:36; Rahlfs 106:36) וַיּ֣וֹשֶׁב שָׁ֣ם רְעֵבִ֑ים וַ֝יְכוֹנְנ֗וּ עִ֣יר מוֹשָֽׁב׃ 37And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase. (LXX 106:37; Rahlfs 106:37) וַיִּזְרְע֣וּ שָׂ֭דוֹת וַיִּטְּע֣וּ כְרָמִ֑ים וַ֝יַּעֲשׂ֗וּ פְּרִ֣י תְבֽוּאָה׃ 38He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease. (LXX 106:38; Rahlfs 106:38) וַיְבָרֲכֵ֣ם וַיִּרְבּ֣וּ מְאֹ֑ד וּ֝בְהֶמְתָּ֗ם לֹ֣א יַמְעִֽיט׃ 39Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow. (LXX 106:39; Rahlfs 106:39) וַיִּמְעֲט֥וּ וַיָּשֹׁ֑חוּ מֵעֹ֖צֶר רָעָ֣ה וְיָגֽוֹן׃׆ 40He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way. (LXX 106:40; Rahlfs 106:40) שֹׁפֵ֣ךְ בּ֭וּז עַל־נְדִיבִ֑ים וַ֝יַּתְעֵ֗ם בְּתֹ֣הוּ לֹא־דָֽרֶךְ׃ 41Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock. (LXX 106:41; Rahlfs 106:41) וַיְשַׂגֵּ֣ב אֶבְי֣וֹן מֵע֑וֹנִי וַיָּ֥שֶׂם כַּ֝צֹּ֗אן מִשְׁפָּחֽוֹת׃ 42The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. (LXX 106:42; Rahlfs 106:42) יִרְא֣וּ יְשָׁרִ֣ים וְיִשְׂמָ֑חוּ וְכָל־עַ֝וְלָ֗ה קָ֣פְצָה פִּֽיהָ׃ 43Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the Lord. (LXX 106:43; Rahlfs 106:43) מִי־חָכָ֥ם וְיִשְׁמָר־אֵ֑לֶּה וְ֝יִתְבּֽוֹנְנ֗וּ חַֽסְדֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃
