诗篇 107
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
卷五：诗篇107—150
称谢上帝的美善
107 你们要称谢耶和华，
因为祂是美善的；
祂的慈爱永远长存。
2-3 耶和华救赎的人，
就是祂从敌人手中救赎出来、
从东西南北招聚的人，
都要称谢祂。
4 他们在旷野中飘泊，居无定所，
5 又饥又渴，陷入绝境。
6 他们在危难中呼求耶和华，
祂就拯救他们脱离困境，
7 带领他们走直路，
到可居住的城邑。
8 他们当称谢耶和华的慈爱，
称谢祂为世人所行的奇事。
9 因为祂满足干渴的人，
以美食喂饱饥饿的人。
10 有些人坐在黑暗里，
在死亡的阴影下，
被铁链捆绑，
痛苦不堪。
11 因为他们违背上帝的话，
藐视至高者的旨意，
12 所以上帝用苦役使他们顺服，
他们跌倒也无人扶助。
13 于是，他们在患难中呼求耶和华，
耶和华就拯救他们脱离困境。
14 祂带领他们脱离黑暗和死亡的阴影，
断开他们的锁链。
15 他们当称谢耶和华的慈爱，
称谢祂为世人所行的奇事。
16 因为祂打碎了铜门，
砍断了铁闩。
17 有些人愚顽，
因自己的悖逆和罪恶而受苦，
18 食欲全消，几近死亡。
19 于是，他们在患难中呼求耶和华，
耶和华便拯救他们脱离困境。
20 祂一发令，就医治了他们，
救他们脱离死亡。
21 他们当称谢耶和华的慈爱，
称谢祂为世人所行的奇事。
22 他们当向祂献上感恩祭，
欢然歌颂祂的作为。
23 有些人乘船在汪洋大海上经商，
24 他们看见了耶和华的作为，
看见了祂在深海所行的奇事。
25 祂一声令下，
狂风大作，巨浪滔天。
26 他们的船只忽而被抛向半空，
忽而落入深渊，
他们吓得面无人色，
27 东倒西歪，如同醉汉，
束手无策。
28 于是，他们在患难中呼求耶和华，
耶和华便拯救他们脱离困境。
29 祂使狂风止息，海浪平静。
30 他们因风平浪静而欢喜，
祂带领他们到所向往的港湾。
31 他们当称谢耶和华的慈爱，
称谢祂为世人所行的奇事。
32 他们当在众人面前尊崇祂，
在众首领面前赞美祂。
33 祂使江河变成荒漠，
水泉变成干地，
34 叫沃土变成荒凉的盐碱地，
因为那里的居民邪恶。
35 祂叫荒漠水塘遍布，
使旱地甘泉涌流。
36 祂使饥饿的人住在那里，
建造可安居的城邑，
37 耕种田地，栽植葡萄园，
收成丰硕。
38 祂赐福给他们，
使他们人丁兴旺，
牲口有增无减。
39 后来他们在压迫、患难和痛苦的煎熬下人口减少，
地位卑下。
40 祂使贵族蒙羞受辱，
漂流在荒芜之地。
41 但祂搭救贫苦的人脱离苦难，
使他们家族兴旺，多如羊群。
42 正直人看见就欢喜，
邪恶人都哑口无言。
43 有智慧的人都当留心这些事，
思想耶和华的慈爱。
Psalm 107
Evangelical Heritage Version
Book V
Psalms 107–150
Psalm 107
He Redeemed Them From Trouble
Invocation to Give Thanks
1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his mercy endures forever.
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say this,
those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,
3 those he gathered from the lands,
from the east and from the west,
from the north and from the south.[a]
First Crisis: The Wilderness
4 They wandered in the wilderness, in the wasteland.
They did not find the way to a city where they could live.
5 They were hungry and also thirsty,
so their lives were draining away.
Refrain
6 Then they cried out to the Lord in their distress.
He delivered them from their troubles.
7 He led them by a straight way to come to a city where they could live.
8 Let them give thanks to the Lord
for his mercy and his wonderful deeds for all people,[b]
9 because he satisfies the desire of the thirsty,
and he fills the desire of the hungry with good things.
Second Crisis: Imprisonment
10 They were sitting in darkness and the shadow of death,
prisoners, bound in misery and chains,
11 because they had rebelled against the words of God,
and they despised the plan of the Most High.
12 So he broke their hearts with hard labor.
They stumbled, and there was no helper.
Refrain
13 Then they cried out to the Lord in their distress.
He saved them from their troubles.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
and he tore off their chains.
15 Let them give thanks to the Lord
for his mercy and his wonderful deeds for all people,
16 because he shatters bronze doors,
and he cuts through iron bars.
Third Crisis: Rebellion
17 They became fools through their rebellious way,
and they brought affliction on themselves by their guilt.
18 They lost their appetite for food,
so they approached the gates of death.
Refrain
19 Then they cried out to the Lord in their distress.
He saved them from their troubles.
20 He sent his word and healed them.
He rescued them from the pits that trapped them.
21 Let them give thanks to the Lord
for his mercy and his wonderful deeds for all people,
22 so let them sacrifice thank offerings
and tell about his works with a joyful shout.
Fourth Crisis: On the Sea
23 They went down to the sea in ships.
They conducted trade on many waters.
24 They saw the deeds of the Lord
and his wonders on the deep.
25 For he spoke and stirred up a violent storm,
which produced large waves.
26 They were raised up to the sky.
They sank down into the depths.
In their danger their courage melted.
27 They reeled and staggered like a drunk.
All their skill disappeared.
Refrain
28 Then they cried out to the Lord in their distress.
He brought them out of their troubles.
29 He calmed the storm. Its waves were hushed.
30 They were glad when it grew quiet,
and he guided them to the port they desired.
31 Let them give thanks to the Lord
for his mercy and his wonderful deeds for all people.
32 Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people
and praise him in the session of the elders.
Curses and Blessings
33 He turned rivers into a wilderness
and flowing springs into thirsty ground.
34 He turned fruitful land into a salt waste,
because of the wickedness of those who lived in it.
35 He turned the wilderness into pools of water
and the desert into flowing springs.
36 Then he let the hungry live there,
and they founded a city where they could live.
37 Then they sowed fields, and they planted vineyards,
which produced abundant fruit.
38 Then he blessed them, so they increased greatly in number.
He did not let their herds of cattle decrease.
39 But then their numbers decreased,
and they were humbled by oppression, disaster, and sorrow.
40 He who pours contempt on nobles made them wander in confusion
where there was no road.
41 But he lifted up the needy out of affliction
and made their families like a flock.
42 The upright see and rejoice,
but all wickedness shuts its mouth.
Application: Be Wise
43 Whoever is wise, let him keep these things.
Let them take to heart the mercies of the Lord.
