- Kapitel 107 -

Let the redeemed of the Lord tell it

(Matthew 8:23-27; Mark 4:35-41; Luke 8:22-25)

Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, and his covenant faithfulness endures forever.

Let the redeemed of Yahweh speak out, those he has rescued from the hand of the enemy.

He has gathered them out of foreign lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.

They wandered in the wilderness on a desert road and found no city in which to live.

Because they were hungry and thirsty, they fainted from exhaustion.

Then they called out to Yahweh in their trouble, and he rescued them out of their distress.

He led them by a direct path so that they would go to a city to live in.

Oh that people would praise Yahweh for his covenant faithfulness and for the amazing things he has done for humanity!

For he satisfies the longings of those who are thirsty, and the desires of those who are hungry he fills up with good things.

Some sat in darkness and in gloom, prisoners in affliction and chains.

This was because they had rebelled against God’s word and rejected the instruction of the Most High.

He humbled their hearts through hardship; they stumbled and there was no one to help them up.

Then they called out to Yahweh in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress.

He brought them out of darkness and gloom and broke their bonds.

Oh that people would praise Yahweh for his covenant faithfulness and for the amazing things he has done for humanity!

For he has broken the gates of bronze and cut through the bars of iron.

They were foolish in their rebellious ways and afflicted because of their sins.

They lost their desire to eat any food, and they came close to the gates of death.

Then they called out to Yahweh in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress.

He sent his word and healed them, and he rescued them from their destruction.

Oh that people would praise Yahweh for his covenant faithfulness and for the amazing things he has done for humanity!

Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving and proclaim his deeds in singing.

Some travel on the sea in ships and do business overseas.

These saw the deeds of Yahweh and his wonders on the seas.

For he commanded and aroused the windstorm that stirs up the seas.

They reached up to the sky; they went down to the depths. Their lives melted away in distress.

They swayed and staggered like drunkards and were at their wits’ end.

Then they called out to Yahweh in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress.

He calmed the storm, and the waves were stilled.

Then they rejoiced because the sea was calm, and he brought them to their desired harbor.

Oh that people would praise Yahweh for his covenant faithfulness and for the amazing things he has done for humanity!

Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people and praise him in the council of the elders.

He turns rivers into a wilderness, springs of water into dry land,

and a fruitful land into a barren place because of the wickedness of its people.

He turns the wilderness into a pool of water and dry land into springs of water.

He settles the hungry there, and they build a city to live in.

They build a city to plant fields in, to plant vineyards, and to bring in an abundant harvest.

He blesses them so they are very numerous. He does not let their cattle decrease in number.

They were diminished and brought low by painful distress and suffering.

He pours contempt on the leaders and causes them to wander in the wilderness, where there are no roads.

But he protects the needy from affliction and cares for his families like a flock.

The upright will see this and rejoice, and all wickedness shuts its mouth.

Whoever is wise should take note of these things and meditate on Yahweh’s acts of covenant faithfulness.

Let the redeemed of the Lord tell it

(Matthew 8:23-27; Mark 4:35-41; Luke 8:22-25)

Give thanks to the LORD,(a) for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

Let the redeemed by the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,

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

They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way. They found no city to live in.

Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

He led them also by a straight way, that they might go to a city to live in.

Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!

For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good.

Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron,

because they rebelled against the words of God,(b) and condemned the counsel of the Most High.

Therefore he brought down their heart with labor. They fell down, and there was no one to help.

Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke away their chains.

Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!

For he has broken the gates of bronze, and cut through bars of iron.

Fools are afflicted because of their disobedience, and because of their iniquities.

Their soul abhors all kinds of food. They draw near to the gates of death.

Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, and he saves them out of their distresses.

He sends his word, and heals them, and delivers them from their graves.

Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!

Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his deeds with singing.

Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business in great waters,

these see the LORD’s deeds, and his wonders in the deep.

For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up its waves.

They mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths. Their soul melts away because of trouble.

They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.

Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, and he brings them out of their distress.

He makes the storm a calm, so that its waves are still.

Then they are glad because it is calm, so he brings them to their desired haven.

Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds for the children of men!

Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, and praise him in the seat of the elders.

He turns rivers into a desert, water springs into a thirsty ground,

and a fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of those who dwell in it.

He turns a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into water springs.

There he makes the hungry live, that they may prepare a city to live in,

sow fields, plant vineyards, and reap the fruits of increase.

He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly. He doesn’t allow their livestock to decrease.

Again, they are diminished and bowed down through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.

He pours contempt on princes, and causes them to wander in a trackless waste.

Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction, and increases their families like a flock.

The upright will see it, and be glad. All the wicked will shut their mouths.

Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things. They will consider the loving kindnesses of the LORD.
