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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

⁵ And I have looked -- I, Daniel -- and lo, two others are standing, one here at the edge of the flood, and one there at the edge of the flood,

⁶ and he saith to the one clothed in linen, who [is] upon the waters of the flood, `Till when [is] the end of these wonders?'

⁷ And I hear the one clothed in linen, who [is] upon the waters of the flood, and he doth lift up his right hand and his left unto the heavens, and sweareth by Him who is living to the age, that, `After a time, times, and a half, and at the completion of the scattering of the power of the holy people, finished are all these.'

⁸ And I have heard, and I do not understand, and I say, `O my lord, what [is] the latter end of these?'

⁹ And he saith, `Go, Daniel; for hidden and sealed [are] the things till the time of the end;

¹⁰ Purify themselves, yea, make themselves white, yea, refined are many: and the wicked have done wickedly, and none of the wicked understand, and those acting wisely do understand;

¹¹ and from the time of the turning aside of the perpetual [sacrifice], and to the giving out of the desolating abomination, [are] days a thousand, two hundred, and ninety.

¹² O the blessedness of him who is waiting earnestly, and doth come to the days, a thousand, three hundred, thirty and five.

¹³ And thou, go on to the end, then thou dost rest, and dost stand in thy lot at the end of the days.'

⁷ in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,

⁸ in which He did abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

⁹ having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself,

¹⁰ in regard to the dispensation of the fulness of the times, to bring into one the whole in the Christ, both the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth -- in him;

¹¹ in whom also we did obtain an inheritance, being foreordained according to the purpose of Him who the all things is working according to the counsel of His will,

¹² for our being to the praise of His glory, [even] those who did first hope in the Christ,

¹³ in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth -- the good news of your salvation -- in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,

¹⁴ which is an earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.
