耶和华救人脱诸苦难

107 “你们要称谢耶和华,因他本为善,他的慈爱永远长存!”
愿耶和华的赎民说这话,就是他从敌人手中所救赎的,
从各地,从东从西,从南从北所招聚来的。

使漂流者安居

他们在旷野荒地漂流,寻不见可住的城邑,

又饥又渴,心里发昏。
于是他们在苦难中哀求耶和华,他从他们的祸患中搭救他们。
又领他们行走直路,使他们往可居住的城邑。
但愿人因耶和华的慈爱和他向人所行的奇事都称赞他!
因他使心里渴慕的人得以知足,使心里饥饿的人得饱美物。

捆锁者得释

10 那些坐在黑暗中死荫里的人,被困苦和铁链捆锁,

11 是因他们违背神的话语,藐视至高者的旨意。
12 所以他用劳苦制伏他们的心,他们仆倒,无人扶助。
13 于是他们在苦难中哀求耶和华,他从他们的祸患中拯救他们。
14 他从黑暗中和死荫里领他们出来,折断他们的绑索。
15 但愿人因耶和华的慈爱和他向人所行的奇事都称赞他!
16 因为他打破了铜门,砍断了铁闩。

患病者得医

17 愚妄人因自己的过犯和自己的罪孽,便受苦楚。

18 他们心里厌恶各样的食物,就临近死门。
19 于是他们在苦难中哀求耶和华,他从他们的祸患中拯救他们。
20 他发命医治他们,救他们脱离死亡。
21 但愿人因耶和华的慈爱和他向人所行的奇事都称赞他!
22 愿他们以感谢为祭献给他,欢呼述说他的作为!

航海者无危

23 在海上坐船,在大水中经理事务的,

24 他们看见耶和华的作为,并他在深水中的奇事。
25 因他一吩咐,狂风就起来,海中的波浪也扬起。
26 他们上到天空,下到海底,他们的心因患难便消化。
27 他们摇摇晃晃,东倒西歪,好像醉酒的人,他们的智慧无法可施。
28 于是他们在苦难中哀求耶和华,他从他们的祸患中领出他们来。
29 他使狂风止息,波浪就平静。
30 风息浪静,他们便欢喜,他就引他们到所愿去的海口。
31 但愿人因耶和华的慈爱和他向人所行的奇事都称赞他!
32 愿他们在民的会中尊崇他,在长老的位上赞美他!
33 他使江河变为旷野,叫水泉变为干渴之地,
34 使肥地变为碱地,这都因其间居民的罪恶。
35 他使旷野变为水潭,叫旱地变为水泉。
36 他使饥饿的人住在那里,好建造可住的城邑;
37 又种田地,栽葡萄园,得享所出的土产。
38 他又赐福给他们,叫他们生养众多,也不叫他们的牲畜减少。
39 他们又因暴虐、患难、愁苦,就减少且卑下。
40 他使君王蒙羞被辱,使他们在荒废无路之地漂流。
41 他却将穷乏人安置在高处,脱离苦难,使他的家属多如羊群。
42 正直人看见就欢喜,罪孽之辈必塞口无言。
43 凡有智慧的,必在这些事上留心,也必思想耶和华的慈爱。

BOOK V

(Psalms 107–150)

Psalm 107

Thanksgiving for God’s Deliverance

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his faithful love endures forever.(A)
Let the redeemed of the Lord proclaim
that he has redeemed them from the power of the foe(B)
and has gathered them from the lands—
from the east and the west,
from the north and the south.(C)

Some wandered in the desolate wilderness,
finding no way to a city where they could live.(D)
They were hungry and thirsty;
their spirits failed[a] within them.(E)
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble;
he rescued them from their distress.(F)
He led them by the right path
to go to a city where they could live.(G)
Let them give thanks to the Lord
for his faithful love
and his wondrous works for all humanity.(H)
For he has satisfied the thirsty
and filled the hungry with good things.(I)

10 Others sat in darkness and gloom[b]
prisoners in cruel chains(J)
11 because they rebelled against God’s commands
and despised the counsel of the Most High.(K)
12 He broke their spirits[c] with hard labor;
they stumbled, and there was no one to help.(L)
13 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble;
he saved them from their distress.(M)
14 He brought them out of darkness and gloom
and broke their chains apart.(N)
15 Let them give thanks to the Lord
for his faithful love
and his wondrous works for all humanity.(O)
16 For he has broken down the bronze gates
and cut through the iron bars.(P)

17 Fools suffered affliction
because of their rebellious ways and their iniquities.(Q)
18 They loathed all food
and came near the gates of death.(R)
19 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble;
he saved them from their distress.(S)
20 He sent his word and healed them;
he rescued them from their traps.
21 Let them give thanks to the Lord
for his faithful love
and his wondrous works for all humanity.(T)
22 Let them offer thanksgiving sacrifices
and announce his works with shouts of joy.(U)

23 Others went to sea in ships,
conducting trade on the vast water.(V)
24 They saw the Lord’s works,
his wondrous works in the deep.(W)
25 He spoke and raised a stormy wind
that stirred up the waves of the sea.[d](X)
26 Rising up to the sky, sinking down to the depths,
their courage[e] melting away in anguish,(Y)
27 they reeled and staggered like a drunkard,
and all their skill was useless.(Z)
28 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
and he brought them out of their distress.(AA)
29 He stilled the storm to a whisper,
and the waves of the sea were hushed.(AB)
30 They rejoiced when the waves grew quiet.
Then he guided them to the harbor they longed for.(AC)
31 Let them give thanks to the Lord
for his faithful love
and his wondrous works for all humanity.(AD)
32 Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people
and praise him in the council of the elders.(AE)

33 He turns rivers into desert,
springs into thirsty ground,(AF)
34 and fruitful land into salty wasteland,
because of the wickedness of its inhabitants.(AG)
35 He turns a desert into a pool,
dry land into springs.(AH)
36 He causes the hungry to settle there,
and they establish a city where they can live.(AI)
37 They sow fields and plant vineyards
that yield a fruitful harvest.(AJ)
38 He blesses them, and they multiply greatly;(AK)
he does not let their livestock decrease.(AL)

39 When they are diminished and are humbled
by cruel oppression and sorrow,(AM)
40 he pours contempt on nobles(AN)
and makes them wander in a trackless wasteland.(AO)
41 But he lifts the needy out of their suffering(AP)
and makes their families multiply like flocks.(AQ)
42 The upright see it and rejoice,(AR)
and all injustice shuts its mouth.(AS)

43 Let whoever is wise pay attention to these things
and consider the Lord’s acts of faithful love.(AT)
