1890 Darby's Translation of the Holy Scriptures (DBY)
Psalms 107
1 The psalmist exhorteth the redeemed, in praising God, to observe his manifold providence, 4 over travelers, 10 over captives, 17 over sick men, 23 over seamen, 33 and in divers varieties of life.
107:1 ¶
Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.
107:2
Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the oppressor,
107:3
And gathered out of the countries, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the sea.
107:4
They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way, they found no city of habitation;
107:5
Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them:
107:6
Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, [and] he delivered them out of their distresses,
107:7
And he led them forth by a right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
107:8
Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;
107:9
For he hath satisfied the longing soul and filled the hungry soul with good.
107:10
Such as inhabit darkness and the shadow of death, bound in affliction and iron,
107:11
Because they had rebelled against the words of *God, and had despised the counsel of the Most High; ...
107:12
And he bowed down their heart with labour; they stumbled, and there was none to help:
107:13
Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, [and] he saved them out of their distresses;
107:14
He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bands in sunder.
107:15
Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;
107:16
For he hath broken the gates of bronze, and cut asunder the bars of iron.
107:17
Fools, because of their way of transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted;
107:18
Their soul abhorreth all manner of food, and they draw near unto the gates of death:
107:19
Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, [and] he saveth them out of their distresses;
107:20
He sendeth his word, and healeth them, and delivereth them from their destructions.
107:21
Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men,
107:22
And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works in joyful song.
107:23
They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters,
107:24
These see the works of Jehovah, and his wonders in the deep.
107:25
For he speaketh, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof:
107:26
They mount up to the heavens, they go down to the depths; their soul is melted because of trouble;
107:27
They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and they are at their wits' end:
107:28
Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses;
107:29
He maketh the storm a calm, and the waves thereof are still:
107:30
And they rejoice because they are quiet; and he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
107:31
Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;
107:32
Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the session of the elders.
107:33
He maketh rivers into a wilderness, and water-springs into dry ground;
107:34
A fruitful land into a plain of salt, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
107:35
He maketh the wilderness into a pool of water, and the dry land into water-springs;
107:36
And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, and they establish a city of habitation;
107:37
And sow fields, and plant vineyards, which yield fruits of increase;
107:38
And he blesseth them, so that they are multiplied greatly; and he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
107:39
And they are diminished and brought low, through oppression, adversity, and sorrow:
107:40
He poureth contempt upon nobles, and causeth them to wander in a pathless waste;
107:41
But he secureth the needy one on high from affliction, and maketh [him] families like flocks.
107:42
The upright shall see it, and rejoice; and all unrighteousness shall stop its mouth.
107:43
Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, and let them understand the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah.
