Psalm 107
De återlöstas tacksamhet
1 Tacka Herren, ty han är god,
ty hans nåd varar i evighet.
2 Så säger Herrens återlösta,
de som han har återlöst från fiendens hand,
3 de som han har församlat från länderna,
från öster och väster,
från norr och söder.[a]
4 De irrade omkring i öknen på öde stigar,
de fann ingen plats där de kunde bo.
5 De var hungriga och törstiga,
deras liv tynade bort.
6 Men de ropade till Herren i sin nöd
och han räddade dem ur deras trångmål.
7 Han ledde dem på den rätta vägen,
så att de kom till en stad där de kunde bo.
8 Må de tacka Herren för hans nåd,
för hans underbara gärningar mot människors barn,
9 ty han stillade själens törst
och mättade själens hunger med sitt goda.
10 De satt i mörker och dödsskugga,
fångna i elände och järnbojor,
11 ty de hade varit upproriska mot Guds ord
och föraktat den Högstes råd.
12 Han ödmjukade deras hjärtan genom lidande,
de kom på fall och hade ingen hjälpare.
13 Men de ropade till Herren i sin nöd
och han frälste dem ur deras trångmål.
14 Han förde dem ut ur mörker och dödsskugga,
han slet sönder deras bojor.
15 Må de tacka Herren för hans nåd,
för hans underbara gärningar mot människors barn,
16 ty han krossade kopparportar
och bröt sönder järnbommar.
17 De var dåraktiga och blev plågade
för sin upproriskhet och synd.
18 De kände avsky för all mat
och var nära dödens portar.
19 Men de ropade till Herren i sin nöd,
och han frälste dem ur deras trångmål.
20 Han sände sitt ord och botade dem
och räddade dem från undergång.
21 Må de tacka Herren för hans nåd,
för hans underbara gärningar mot människors barn.
22 Må de offra lovets offer
och förkunna hans verk med jubel.
23 De som for ut på havet med skepp
och drev handel på stora vatten,
24 de såg Herrens gärningar
och hans under i havets djup.
25 Han talade, och en stormvind uppstod
så att havets vågor gick höga.
26 De for upp mot himlen
och ner i djupen,
så att de miste modet i sin olycka.
27 De raglade och stapplade som druckna,
det var förbi med all deras vishet.
28 Men de ropade till Herren i sin nöd
och han förde dem ut ur deras trångmål.
29 Han stillade stormen
och böljorna omkring dem tystnade.
30 De gladdes över att det blev stilla,
och han förde dem till den hamn dit de ville.
31 Må de tacka Herren för hans nåd,
för hans underbara gärningar mot människors barn,
32 må de upphöja honom i folkets församling
och prisa honom där de äldste sitter.
33 Han gjorde strömmar till öken,
källsprång till torr mark
34 och bördigt land till salthed
för dess invånares ondskas skull.
35 Han gjorde öknen till en vattenrik sjö
och torrt land till källsprång.
36 Han lät de hungriga slå sig ner där
och bygga en stad där de kunde bo.
37 De besådde åkrar
och planterade vingårdar
som gav riklig skörd.
38 Han välsignade dem,
och de blev mycket talrika.
Han lät ej deras boskap minska i antal.
39 När de blev färre
och tyngdes av förtryck, olyckor och bekymmer,
40 utgöt han förakt över furstarna
och lät dem irra omkring
i en ödemark utan vägar.
41 Han upphöjde den fattige ur eländet
och förökade deras familjer som hjordar.
42 De rättrådiga ser det och gläder sig,
och all ondska måste tiga.
43 Den som är vis må lägga märke till detta
och tänka på Herrens nådegärningar.

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
American Standard Version
Psalm 107
American Standard Version
Book V
Jehovah delivers men from manifold troubles.
107 Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
2 Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so,
Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
3 And gathered out of the lands,
From the east and from the west,
From the north and [a]from the south.
4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way;
They found no city of habitation.
5 Hungry and thirsty,
Their soul fainted in them.
6 Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble,
And he delivered them out of their distresses,
7 He led them also by a straight way,
That they might go to a city of habitation.
8 Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,
And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9 For he satisfieth the longing soul,
And the hungry soul he filleth with good.
10 Such as sat 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 labor;
They fell down, and there was none to help.
13 Then they cried unto Jehovah 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 bonds in sunder.
15 Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,
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 [b]their transgression,
And because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of food;
And they draw near unto the gates of death.
19 Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble,
And he saveth them out of their distresses.
20 He sendeth his word, and healeth them,
And delivereth them from their [c]destructions.
21 Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,
And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
22 And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving,
And declare his works with singing.
23 They that go down to the sea in ships,
That do business in great waters;
24 These see the works of Jehovah,
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 heavens, they go down again to the depths:
Their soul melteth away because of trouble.
27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,
And [d]are at their wits’ end.
28 Then they cry unto Jehovah 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 are quiet;
So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
31 Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,
And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
32 Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people,
And praise him in the seat of the elders.
33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness,
And watersprings into a thirsty ground;
34 A fruitful land into a salt desert,
For the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35 He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water,
And a dry land into watersprings.
36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell,
That they may prepare a city of habitation,
37 And sow fields, and plant vineyards,
And get them fruits of increase.
38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly;
And he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39 Again, they are diminished and bowed down
Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
40 He poureth contempt upon princes,
And causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.
41 Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction,
And maketh him families like a flock.
42 The upright shall see it, and be glad;
And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43 Whoso is wise will give heed to these things;
And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah.
