| # Chapter 107
| 'Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age [is] His kindness:'
| Let the redeemed of Jehovah say, Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary.
| And from the lands hath gathered them, From east and from west, From north, and from the sea.
| They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, A city of habitation they have not found.
| Hungry -- yea -- thirsty, Their soul in them becometh feeble,
| And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distress He delivereth them,
| And causeth them to tread in a right way, To go unto a city of habitation.
| They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
| For He hath satisfied a longing soul, And a hungry soul hath filled [with] goodness.
| Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of affliction and of iron,
| Because they changed the saying of God, And the counsel of the Most High despised.
| And He humbleth with labour their heart, They have been feeble, and there is no helper.
| And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them.
| He bringeth them out from the dark place, And death-shade, And their bands He draweth away.
| They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
| For He hath broken doors of brass, And bars of iron He hath cut.
| Fools, by means of their transgression, And by their iniquities, afflict themselves.
| All food doth their soul abominate, And they come nigh unto the gates of death,
| And cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them,
| He sendeth His word and healeth them, And delivereth from their destructions.
| They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
| And they sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving, And recount His works with singing.
| Those going down [to] the sea in ships, Doing business in many waters,
| They have seen the works of Jehovah, And His wonders in the deep.
| And He saith, and appointeth a tempest, And it lifteth up its billows,
| They go up [to] the heavens, they go down [to] the depths, Their soul in evil is melted.
| They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.
| And they cry to Jehovah in their adversity, And from their distresses He bringeth them out.
| He establisheth a whirlwind to a calm, And hushed are their billows.
| And they rejoice because they are quiet, And He leadeth them to the haven of their desire.
| They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
| And they exalt Him in the assembly of the people, And in the seat of the elders praise Him.
| He maketh rivers become a wilderness, And fountains of waters become dry land.
| A fruitful land becometh a barren place, For the wickedness of its inhabitants.
| He maketh a wilderness become a pool of water, And a dry land become fountains of waters.
| And He causeth the hungry to dwell there, And they prepare a city of habitation.
| And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, And they make fruits of increase.
| And He blesseth them, and they multiply exceedingly, And their cattle He doth not diminish.
| And they are diminished, and bow down, By restraint, evil, and sorrow.
| He is pouring contempt upon nobles, And causeth them to wander in vacancy -- no way.
| And setteth on high the needy from affliction, And placeth families as a flock.
| The upright do see and rejoice, And all perversity hath shut her mouth.
| Who [is] wise, and observeth these? They understand the kind acts of Jehovah!
