Psalms 106:34-107:38
Chapter 106
34 They did not destroy the peoples
as the
Lord
had commanded them(ah)
35 but mingled with the nations
and adopted their ways.(ai)
36 They served their idols,
which became a snare to them.(aj)
37 They sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons.(ak)
38 They shed innocent blood—
the blood of their sons and daughters
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
so the land became polluted with blood.(al)
39 They defiled themselves by their actions
and prostituted themselves by their deeds.(am)
40 Therefore the
Lord
's anger burned against His people,
and He abhorred His own inheritance.(an)
41 He handed them over to the nations;
those who hated them ruled them.(ao)
42 Their enemies oppressed them,
and they were subdued under their power.(ap)
43 He rescued them many times,
but they continued to rebel deliberately
and were beaten down by their sin.(aq)
44 When He heard their cry,
He took note of their distress,(ar)
45 remembered His covenant with them,
and relented according to the riches
of His faithful love.(as)
46 He caused them to be pitied
before all their captors.(at)
47 Save us, Yahweh our God,
and gather us from the nations,
so that we may give thanks to Your holy name
and rejoice in Your praise.(au)
48 May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised
from everlasting to everlasting.(av)
Let all the people say, "Amen!"
Hallelujah!(aw)
Chapter 107
Psalm 107
Thanksgiving for God's Deliverance
1 Give thanks to the
Lord
, for He is good;
His faithful love endures forever.(a)
2 Let the redeemed of the
Lord
proclaim
that He has redeemed them from the hand of the foe(b)
3 and has gathered them from the lands—
from the east and the west,
from the north and the south.(c)
4 Some[a] wandered in the desolate wilderness,
finding no way to a city where they could live.(d)
5 They were hungry and thirsty;
their spirits failed[b] within them.(e)
6 Then they cried out to the
Lord
in their trouble;
He rescued them from their distress.(f)
7 He led them by the right path
to go to a city where they could live.(g)
8 Let them give thanks to the
Lord
for His faithful love
and His wonderful works for all humanity.(h)
9 For He has satisfied the thirsty
and filled the hungry with good things.(i)
10 Others[c] sat in darkness and gloom[d]—
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[e] 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[f]
and broke their chains apart.(n)
15 Let them give thanks to the
Lord
for His faithful love
and His wonderful 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 sins.(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 the Pit.(t)
21 Let them give thanks to the
Lord
for His faithful love
and His wonderful works for all humanity.(u)
22 Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving
and announce His works with shouts of joy.(v)
23 Others[g] went to sea in ships,
conducting trade on the vast waters.(w)
24 They saw the
Lord
's works,
His wonderful works in the deep.(x)
25 He spoke and raised a tempest
that stirred up the waves of the sea.[h](y)
26 Rising up to the sky, sinking down to the depths,
their courage[i] melting away in anguish,(z)
27 they reeled and staggered like drunken men,
and all their skill was useless.(aa)
28 Then they cried out to the
Lord
in their trouble,
and He brought them out of their distress.(ab)
29 He stilled the storm to a murmur,
and the waves of the sea[j] were hushed.(ac)
30 They rejoiced when the waves[k] grew quiet.
Then He guided them to the harbor they longed for.(ad)
31 Let them give thanks to the
Lord
for His faithful love
and His wonderful works for all humanity.(ae)
32 Let them exalt Him in the assembly of the people
and praise Him in the council of the elders.(af)
33 He turns rivers into desert,
springs of water into thirsty ground,(ag)
34 and fruitful land into salty wasteland,
because of the wickedness of its inhabitants.(ah)
35 He turns a desert into a pool of water,
dry land into springs of water.(ai)
36 He causes the hungry to settle there,
and they establish a city where they can live.(aj)
37 They sow fields and plant vineyards
that yield a fruitful harvest.(ak)
38 He blesses them, and they multiply greatly;(al)
He does not let their livestock decrease.(am)
