詩篇 107
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
卷五:詩篇107—150
稱謝上帝的美善
107 你們要稱謝耶和華,
因為祂是美善的;
祂的慈愛永遠長存。
2-3 耶和華救贖的人,
就是祂從敵人手中救贖出來、
從東西南北招聚的人,
都要稱謝祂。
4 他們在曠野中飄泊,居無定所,
5 又饑又渴,陷入絕境。
6 他們在危難中呼求耶和華,
祂就拯救他們脫離困境,
7 帶領他們走直路,
到可居住的城邑。
8 他們當稱謝耶和華的慈愛,
稱謝祂為世人所行的奇事。
9 因為祂滿足乾渴的人,
以美食餵飽饑餓的人。
10 有些人坐在黑暗裡,
在死亡的陰影下,
被鐵鏈捆綁,
痛苦不堪。
11 因為他們違背上帝的話,
藐視至高者的旨意,
12 所以上帝用苦役使他們順服,
他們跌倒也無人扶助。
13 於是,他們在患難中呼求耶和華,
耶和華就拯救他們脫離困境。
14 祂帶領他們脫離黑暗和死亡的陰影,
斷開他們的鎖鏈。
15 他們當稱謝耶和華的慈愛,
稱謝祂為世人所行的奇事。
16 因為祂打碎了銅門,
砍斷了鐵閂。
17 有些人愚頑,
因自己的悖逆和罪惡而受苦,
18 食慾全消,幾近死亡。
19 於是,他們在患難中呼求耶和華,
耶和華便拯救他們脫離困境。
20 祂一發令,就醫治了他們,
救他們脫離死亡。
21 他們當稱謝耶和華的慈愛,
稱謝祂為世人所行的奇事。
22 他們當向祂獻上感恩祭,
歡然歌頌祂的作為。
23 有些人乘船在汪洋大海上經商,
24 他們看見了耶和華的作為,
看見了祂在深海所行的奇事。
25 祂一聲令下,
狂風大作,巨浪滔天。
26 他們的船隻忽而被拋向半空,
忽而落入深淵,
他們嚇得面無人色,
27 東倒西歪,如同醉漢,
束手無策。
28 於是,他們在患難中呼求耶和華,
耶和華便拯救他們脫離困境。
29 祂使狂風止息,海浪平靜。
30 他們因風平浪靜而歡喜,
祂帶領他們到所嚮往的港灣。
31 他們當稱謝耶和華的慈愛,
稱謝祂為世人所行的奇事。
32 他們當在眾人面前尊崇祂,
在眾首領面前讚美祂。
33 祂使江河變成荒漠,
水泉變成乾地,
34 叫沃土變成荒涼的鹽鹼地,
因為那裡的居民邪惡。
35 祂叫荒漠水塘遍佈,
使旱地甘泉湧流。
36 祂使饑餓的人住在那裡,
建造可安居的城邑,
37 耕種田地,栽植葡萄園,
收成豐碩。
38 祂賜福給他們,
使他們人丁興旺,
牲口有增無減。
39 後來他們在壓迫、患難和痛苦的煎熬下人口減少,
地位卑下。
40 祂使貴族蒙羞受辱,
漂流在荒蕪之地。
41 但祂搭救貧苦的人脫離苦難,
使他們家族興旺,多如羊群。
42 正直人看見就歡喜,
邪惡人都啞口無言。
43 有智慧的人都當留心這些事,
思想耶和華的慈愛。
Psalm 107
New International Version
BOOK V
Psalms 107–150
Psalm 107
2 Let the redeemed(C) of the Lord tell their story—
those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,
3 those he gathered(D) from the lands,
from east and west, from north and south.[a]
4 Some wandered in desert(E) wastelands,
finding no way to a city(F) where they could settle.
5 They were hungry(G) and thirsty,(H)
and their lives ebbed away.
6 Then they cried out(I) to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
7 He led them by a straight way(J)
to a city(K) where they could settle.
8 Let them give thanks(L) to the Lord for his unfailing love(M)
and his wonderful deeds(N) for mankind,
9 for he satisfies(O) the thirsty
and fills the hungry with good things.(P)
10 Some sat in darkness,(Q) in utter darkness,
prisoners suffering(R) in iron chains,(S)
11 because they rebelled(T) against God’s commands
and despised(U) the plans(V) of the Most High.
12 So he subjected them to bitter labor;
they stumbled, and there was no one to help.(W)
13 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he saved them(X) from their distress.
14 He brought them out of darkness,(Y) the utter darkness,(Z)
and broke away their chains.(AA)
15 Let them give thanks(AB) to the Lord for his unfailing love(AC)
and his wonderful deeds(AD) for mankind,
16 for he breaks down gates of bronze
and cuts through bars of iron.
17 Some became fools(AE) through their rebellious ways(AF)
and suffered affliction(AG) because of their iniquities.
18 They loathed all food(AH)
and drew near the gates of death.(AI)
19 Then they cried(AJ) to the Lord in their trouble,
and he saved them(AK) from their distress.
20 He sent out his word(AL) and healed them;(AM)
he rescued(AN) them from the grave.(AO)
21 Let them give thanks(AP) to the Lord for his unfailing love(AQ)
and his wonderful deeds(AR) for mankind.
22 Let them sacrifice thank offerings(AS)
and tell of his works(AT) with songs of joy.(AU)
23 Some went out on the sea(AV) in ships;(AW)
they were merchants on the mighty waters.
24 They saw the works of the Lord,(AX)
his wonderful deeds in the deep.
25 For he spoke(AY) and stirred up a tempest(AZ)
that lifted high the waves.(BA)
26 They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths;
in their peril(BB) their courage melted(BC) away.
27 They reeled(BD) and staggered like drunkards;
they were at their wits’ end.
28 Then they cried(BE) out to the Lord in their trouble,
and he brought them out of their distress.(BF)
29 He stilled the storm(BG) to a whisper;
the waves(BH) of the sea[b] were hushed.(BI)
30 They were glad when it grew calm,
and he guided them(BJ) to their desired haven.
31 Let them give thanks(BK) to the Lord for his unfailing love(BL)
and his wonderful deeds(BM) for mankind.
32 Let them exalt(BN) him in the assembly(BO) of the people
and praise him in the council of the elders.
33 He turned rivers into a desert,(BP)
flowing springs(BQ) into thirsty ground,
34 and fruitful land into a salt waste,(BR)
because of the wickedness of those who lived there.
35 He turned the desert into pools of water(BS)
and the parched ground into flowing springs;(BT)
36 there he brought the hungry to live,
and they founded a city where they could settle.
37 They sowed fields and planted vineyards(BU)
that yielded a fruitful harvest;
38 he blessed them, and their numbers greatly increased,(BV)
and he did not let their herds diminish.(BW)
39 Then their numbers decreased,(BX) and they were humbled(BY)
by oppression, calamity and sorrow;
40 he who pours contempt on nobles(BZ)
made them wander in a trackless waste.(CA)
41 But he lifted the needy(CB) out of their affliction
and increased their families like flocks.(CC)
42 The upright see and rejoice,(CD)
but all the wicked shut their mouths.(CE)

Psalm 107
King James Version
107 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
13 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
15 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
19 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.
20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
21 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
24 These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.
25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end.
28 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
31 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;
34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.
36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39 Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.
42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.
