1902 Rotherham's Emphasized Bible (EBR)
Psalms 107
1 The psalmist exhorteth the redeemed, in praising God, to observe his manifold providence, 4 over travelers, 10 over captives, 17 over sick men, 23 over seamen, 33 and in divers varieties of life.
107:1
[BOOK THE FIFTH] O give thanks to Yahweh—For he is good, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
107:2
Let the redeemed of Yahweh say, Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary;
107:3
And, out of the lands, hath gathered them—From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.
107:4
They wandered about in the desert—in a waste, Way to a city to dwell in, found they none;
107:5
Hungry—yea thirsty, their soul, within them, fainted:
107:6
Then made they outcry to Yahweh, in their peril, Out of their distresses, he rescued them;
107:7
And led them by a straight road, That they might journey to a city to dwell in.
107:8
Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his lovingkindness, and for his wonderful dealings with the sons of men;
107:9
For he hath satisfied the longing soul, and, the famished soul, hath he filled with good.
107:10 ¶
The dwellers in darkness and death-shade, bound with oppression and iron;
107:11
Because they had rebelled against the sayings of GOD,—and, the counsel of the Most High, they had spurned;
107:12
And he bowed down, with labour, their heart, They staggered, with no one to help,
107:13
Then made they outcry to Yahweh in their peril, Out of their distresses, he saved them;
107:14
He brought them forth out of darkness and death-shade, and, their fetters, he tare off.
107:15
Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his lovingkindness, and for his wonderful dealings with the sons of men!
107:16
For he brake in pieces the doors of bronze, And, the bars of iron, he hewed asunder.
107:17 ¶
The perverse, by reason of their transgression, and on account of their iniquities, are afflicted;
107:18
All manner of food, their soul abhorreth, and so they draw near unto the gates of death,
107:19
Then make they outcry to Yahweh in their peril, and, out of their distresses, he saveth them.
107:20
He sendeth his word, and healeth them, and delivereth them from their graves.
107:21
Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his lovingkindness, and for his wonderful dealings with the sons of men!
107:22
Yea let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and recount his works with a shout.
107:23 ¶
Men who go down to the sea, in ships, doing business through mighty waters;
107:24
They, see the works of Yahweh, and his wonders in the deep;
107:25
And he speaketh, and there ariseth a tempestuous wind, which lifteth on high its rolling waves;
107:26
They mount the heavens, they descend the roaring deeps, their soul, by trouble, dissolveth;
107:27
They reel and stagger, like a drunken man, and, all their wisdom, is engulfed,
107:28
Then make they outcry to Yahweh in their peril, and, out of their distresses, he bringeth them forth,
107:29
He calmeth the storm to a whisper, and silent are their rolling waves:
107:30
Then are they glad, because they are hushed, And he guideth them unto their desired haven.
107:31
Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his lovingkindness, and for his wonderful dealings with the sons of men!
107:32
Yea let them extol him in the convocation of the people, and, in the seated company of elders, let them praise him.
107:33 ¶
He turneth Rivers into a desert, and, Springs of Water, into thirsty ground,
107:34
A Land of Fruit, into a waste of salt, For the wickedness of them who dwell therein.
107:35
He turneth A Desert, into a pool of water, and, A Parched Land into springs of water;
107:36
And hath caused the famished to dwell there, And they have built them a city to dwell in;
107:37
And have sown fields, and planted vineyards, and made them fruits of increase:
107:38
Thus hath he blessed them, and they have multiplied greatly, And, their cattle, he maketh not few.
107:39
So have they become few and been brought low, By oppression, misfortune, and sorrow;
107:40
He poureth contempt upon nobles, and causeth them to wander in a pathless waste;
107:41
But he hath set the needy on high from affliction, and made families, like a flock:—
107:42
The upright seeth and is glad, And, all perverseness, hath closed her mouth.
107:43
Who is wise? then let him observe these things! and diligently consider the lovingkindness of Yahweh.
