Psalms 107 — Side by side (WEB, ASV, YLT, DRA)

1O give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

1`Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age <FI>is<Fi> His kindness:'

1A canticle of a psalm for David himself.

2Let the redeemed of Jehovah sayso, Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary,

2Let the redeemed of Jehovah say, Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary.

2My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will sing, and will give praise, with my glory.

3And gathered out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.

3And from the lands hath gathered them, From east and from west, From north, and from the sea.

3Arise, my glory; arise, psaltery and harp: I will arise in the morning early.

4They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; They found no city of habitation.

4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; They found no city of habitation.

4They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, A city of habitation they have not found.

4I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing unto thee among the nations.

5Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them.

5Hungry--yea--thirsty, Their soul in them becometh feeble,

5For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth even unto the clouds.

6Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distresses,

6And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distress He delivereth them,

6Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory over all the earth:

7He led them also by a straight way, That they might go to a city of habitation.

7And causeth them to tread in a right way, To go unto a city of habitation.

7That thy beloved may be delivered. Save with thy right hand and hear me.

8Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

8They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.

8God hath spoken in his holiness. I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem and I will mete out the vale of tabernacles.

9For he satisfieth the longing soul, And the hungry soul he filleth with good.

9For He hath satisfied a longing soul, And a hungry soul hath filled <FI>with<Fi> goodness.

9Galaad is mine: and Manasses is mine and Ephraim the protection of my head. Juda is my king:

10Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron,

10 Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron,

10Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of affliction and of iron,

10Moab the pot of my hope. Over Edom I will stretch out my shoe: the aliens are become my friends.

11Because they rebelled against the words of God, And contemned the counsel of the Most High:

11Because they changed the saying of God, And the counsel of the Most High despised.

11Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

12Therefore he brought down their heart with labor; They fell down, and there was none to help.

12And He humbleth with labour their heart, They have been feeble, and there is no helper.

12Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off ? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our armies?

13Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he saved them out of their distresses.

13And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them.

13O grant us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And brake their bonds in sunder.

14He bringeth them out from the dark place, And death-shade, And their bands He draweth away.

14Through God we shall do mightily: and he will bring our enemies to nothing.

15Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

15They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
