Глава 107

  • 1. `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.
  • 4. They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, A city of habitation they have not found.
  • 5. Hungry -- yea -- thirsty, Their soul in them becometh feeble,
  • 6. And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distress He delivereth them,
  • 7. And causeth them to tread in a right way, To go unto a city of habitation.
  • 8. They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
  • 9. For He hath satisfied a longing soul, And a hungry soul hath filled `with' goodness.
  • 10. Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of affliction and of iron,
  • 11. Because they changed the saying of God, And the counsel of the Most High despised.
  • 12. And He humbleth with labour their heart, They have been feeble, and there is no helper.
  • 13. And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them.
  • 14. He bringeth them out from the dark place, And death-shade, And their bands He draweth away.
  • 15. They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
  • 16. For He hath broken doors of brass, And bars of iron He hath cut.
  • 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.
  • 23. Those going down `to' the sea in ships, Doing business in many waters,
  • 24. They have seen the works of Jehovah, And His wonders in the deep.
  • 25. And He saith, and appointeth a tempest, And it lifteth up its billows,
  • 26. They go up `to' the heavens, they go down `to' the depths, Their soul in evil is melted.
  • 27. They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.
  • 28. And they cry to Jehovah in their adversity, And from their distresses He bringeth them out.
  • 29. He establisheth a whirlwind to a calm, And hushed are their billows.
  • 30. And they rejoice because they are quiet, And He leadeth them to the haven of their desire.
  • 31. They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
  • 32. And they exalt Him in the assembly of the people, And in the seat of the elders praise Him.
  • 33. He maketh rivers become a wilderness, And fountains of waters become dry land.
  • 34. A fruitful land becometh a barren place, For the wickedness of its inhabitants.
  • 35. He maketh a wilderness become a pool of water, And a dry land become fountains of waters.
  • 36. And He causeth the hungry to dwell there, And they prepare a city of habitation.
  • 37. And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, And they make fruits of increase.
  • 38. And He blesseth them, and they multiply exceedingly, And their cattle He doth not diminish.
  • 39. And they are diminished, and bow down, By restraint, evil, and sorrow.
  • 40. He is pouring contempt upon nobles, And causeth them to wander in vacancy -- no way.
  • 41. And setteth on high the needy from affliction, And placeth families as a flock.
  • 42. The upright do see and rejoice, And all perversity hath shut her mouth.
  • 43. Who `is' wise, and observeth these? They understand the kind acts of Jehovah!
