TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107

YAHWEH's Providential Care Of The Children Of Men In Distresses, In Banishment, And Dispersion

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:1

  1     ^¶  O give thanks to YAHWEH, for HE is good: for HIS mercy endures forever.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:2

  2    Let the redeemed of YAHWEH say so, whom HE has redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:3

  3    And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:4

  4    They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:5

  5    Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:6

  6    Then they cried to YAHWEH in their trouble, and HE delivered them out of their distresses.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:7

  7    And HE led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:8

  8    Oh that men would praise YAHWEH for HIS lovingkindness, and for HIS wonderful works to the children of adams!

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:9

  9    For HE satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness.

In Captivity

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:10

  10     ^¶  Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:11

  11    Because they rebelled against the Words of YAHWEH, and contemned the counsel of the most High:

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:12

  12    Therefore HE humbled their heart with labor; they fell down, and there was none to help.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:13

  13    Then they cried to YAHWEH in their trouble, and HE saved them out of their distresses.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:14

  14    HE brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:15

  15    Oh that men would praise YAHWEH for HIS lovingkindness, and for HIS wonderful works to the children of adams!

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:16

  16    For HE has broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

In Sickness

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:17

  17     ^¶  Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:18

  18    Their soul abhors all manner of meat; and they draw near to the gates of death.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:19

  19    Then they cry to YAHWEH in their trouble, and HE saves them out of their distresses.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:20

  20    HE sent HIS Word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:21

  21    Oh that men would praise YAHWEH for HIS lovingkindness, and for HIS wonderful works to the children of adams!

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:22

  22    And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare HIS works with rejoicing.

Danger At Sea

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:23

  23     ^¶  They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:24

  24    These see the works of YAHWEH, and HIS wonders in the deep.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:25

  25    For HE commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up the waves thereof.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:26

  26    They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:27

  27    They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:28

  28    Then they cry to YAHWEH in their trouble, and HE brings them out of their distresses.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:29

  29    HE makes the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:30

  30    Then are they glad because they be quiet; so HE brings them to their desired haven.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:31

  31    Oh that men would praise YAHWEH for HIS lovingkindness, and for HIS wonderful works to the children of adams!

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:32

  32    Let them exalt HIM also in the congregation of the people, and HalleluYah HIM in the assembly of the elders.

YAHWEH's Hand Is To Be Seen By HIS Own People

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:33

  33     ^¶  HE turns rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:34

  34    A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:35

  35    HE turns the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:36

  36    And there HE makes the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:37

  37    And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:38

  38    HE blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffers not their cattle to decrease.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:39

  39    Again, they are deminished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:40

  40    HE pours contempt upon princes, and causes them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:41

  41    Yet sets HE the poor on high from affliction, and makes HIM families like a flock.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:42

  42    The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 107:43

  43    Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of YAHWEH.
