Psalm 107 – Studienbibel

1 O give thanks3034 unto the LORD3068, for he is good2896: for his mercy2617 endureth for ever5769. 2 Let the redeemed1350 of the LORD3068 say559 so, whom he hath redeemed1350 from the hand3027 of the enemy6862; 3 And gathered6908 them out of the lands776, from the east4217, and from the west4628, from the north6828, and from the south3220.¹ 4 They wandered8582 in the wilderness4057 in a solitary3452 way1870; they found4672 no city5892 to dwell4186 in. 5 Hungry7457 and thirsty6771, their soul5315 fainted5848 in them. 6 Then they cried6817 unto the LORD3068 in their trouble6862, and he delivered5337 them out of their distresses4691. 7 And he led them forth1869 by the right3477 way1870, that they might go3212 to a city5892 of habitation4186. 8 Oh that men would praise3034 the LORD3068 for his goodness2617, and for his wonderful works6381 to the children1121 of men120! 9 For he satisfieth7646 the longing8264 soul5315, and filleth4390 the hungry7457 soul5315 with goodness2896.

10 Such as sit3427 in darkness2822 and in the shadow of death6757, being bound615 in affliction6040 and iron1270; 11 Because they rebelled4784 against the words561 of God410, and contemned5006 the counsel6098 of the most High5945: 12 Therefore he brought down3665 their heart3820 with labour5999; they fell down3782, and there was none to help5826. 13 Then they cried2199 unto the LORD3068 in their trouble6862, and he saved3467 them out of their distresses4691. 14 He brought them out3318 of darkness2822 and the shadow of death6757, and brake5423 their bands4147 in sunder5423. 15 Oh that men would praise3034 the LORD3068 for his goodness2617, and for his wonderful works6381 to the children1121 of men120! 16 For he hath broken7665 the gates1817 of brass5178, and cut1438 the bars1280 of iron1270 in sunder1438.

17 Fools191 because1870 of their transgression6588, and because of their iniquities5771, are afflicted6031. 18 Their soul5315 abhorreth8581 all manner of meat400; and they draw near5060 unto the gates8179 of death4194. 19 Then they cry2199 unto the LORD3068 in their trouble6862, and he saveth3467 them out of their distresses4691. 20 He sent7971 his word1697, and healed7495 them, and delivered4422 them from their destructions7825. 21 Oh that men would praise3034 the LORD3068 for his goodness2617, and for his wonderful works6381 to the children1121 of men120! 22 And let them sacrifice2076 the sacrifices2077 of thanksgiving8426, and declare5608 his works4639 with rejoicing7440.²

23 They that go down3381 to the sea3220 in ships591, that do6213 business4399 in great7227 waters4325; 24 These see7200 the works4639 of the LORD3068, and his wonders6381 in the deep4688. 25 For he commandeth559, and raiseth5975 the stormy5591 wind7307, which lifteth up7311 the waves1530 thereof.³ 26 They mount up5927 to the heaven8064, they go down3381 again to the depths8415: their soul5315 is melted4127 because of trouble7451. 27 They reel to and fro2287, and stagger5128 like a drunken man7910, and are at their wits'2451 end1104.⁴ 28 Then they cry6817 unto the LORD3068 in their trouble6862, and he bringeth them out3318 of their distresses4691. 29 He maketh6965 the storm5591 a calm1827, so that the waves1530 thereof are still2814. 30 Then are they glad8055 because they be quiet8367; so he bringeth5148 them unto their desired2656 haven4231. 31 Oh that men would praise3034 the LORD3068 for his goodness2617, and for his wonderful works6381 to the children1121 of men120! 32 Let them exalt7311 him also in the congregation6951 of the people5971, and praise1984 him in the assembly4186 of the elders2205.

33 He turneth7760 rivers5104 into a wilderness4057, and the watersprings4325 4161 into dry ground6774; 34 A fruitful6529 land776 into barrenness4420, for the wickedness7451 of them that dwell3427 therein.⁵ 35 He turneth7760 the wilderness4057 into a standing98 water4325, and dry6723 ground776 into watersprings4325 4161. 36 And there he maketh the hungry7457 to dwell3427, that they may prepare3559 a city5892 for habitation4186; 37 And sow2232 the fields7704, and plant5193 vineyards3754, which may yield6213 fruits6529 of increase8393. 38 He blesseth1288 them also, so that they are multiplied7235 greatly3966; and suffereth4591 not their cattle929 to decrease4591. 39 Again, they are minished4591 and brought low7817 through oppression6115, affliction7451, and sorrow3015. 40 He poureth8210 contempt937 upon princes5081, and causeth them to wander8582 in the wilderness8414, where there is no way1870.⁶ 41 Yet setteth he the poor34 on high7682 from affliction6040, and maketh7760 him families4940 like a flock6629.⁷ 42 The righteous3477 shall see7200 it, and rejoice8055: and all iniquity5766 shall stop7092 her mouth6310. 43 Whoso is wise2450, and will observe8104 these things, even they shall understand995 the lovingkindness2617 of the LORD3068.
