107:1  `Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age `is' His kindness:'

107:2  Let the redeemed of Jehovah say, Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary.

107:3  And from the lands hath gathered them, From east and from west, From north, and from the sea.

107:4  They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, A city of habitation they have not found.

107:5  Hungry -- yea -- thirsty, Their soul in them becometh feeble,

107:6  And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distress He delivereth them,

107:7  And causeth them to tread in a right way, To go unto a city of habitation.

107:8  They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.

107:9  For He hath satisfied a longing soul, And a hungry soul hath filled `with' goodness.

107:10  Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of affliction and of iron,

107:11  Because they changed the saying of God, And the counsel of the Most High despised.

107:12  And He humbleth with labour their heart, They have been feeble, and there is no helper.

107:13  And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them.

107:14  He bringeth them out from the dark place, And death-shade, And their bands He draweth away.

107:15  They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.

107:16  For He hath broken doors of brass, And bars of iron He hath cut.

107:17  Fools, by means of their transgression, And by their iniquities, afflict themselves.

107:18  All food doth their soul abominate, And they come nigh unto the gates of death,

107:19  And cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them,

107:20  He sendeth His word and healeth them, And delivereth from their destructions.

107:21  They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,

107:22  And they sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving, And recount His works with singing.

107:23  Those going down `to' the sea in ships, Doing business in many waters,

107:24  They have seen the works of Jehovah, And His wonders in the deep.

107:25  And He saith, and appointeth a tempest, And it lifteth up its billows,

107:26  They go up `to' the heavens, they go down `to' the depths, Their soul in evil is melted.

107:27  They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.

107:28  And they cry to Jehovah in their adversity, And from their distresses He bringeth them out.

107:29  He establisheth a whirlwind to a calm, And hushed are their billows.

107:30  And they rejoice because they are quiet, And He leadeth them to the haven of their desire.

107:31  They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,

107:32  And they exalt Him in the assembly of the people, And in the seat of the elders praise Him.

107:33  He maketh rivers become a wilderness, And fountains of waters become dry land.

107:34  A fruitful land becometh a barren place, For the wickedness of its inhabitants.

107:35  He maketh a wilderness become a pool of water, And a dry land become fountains of waters.

107:36  And He causeth the hungry to dwell there, And they prepare a city of habitation.

107:37  And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, And they make fruits of increase.

107:38  And He blesseth them, and they multiply exceedingly, And their cattle He doth not diminish.

107:39  And they are diminished, and bow down, By restraint, evil, and sorrow.

107:40  He is pouring contempt upon nobles, And causeth them to wander in vacancy -- no way.

107:41  And setteth on high the needy from affliction, And placeth families as a flock.

107:42  The upright do see and rejoice, And all perversity hath shut her mouth.

107:43  Who `is' wise, and observeth these? They understand the kind acts of Jehovah!
