Book Five

107 Thank Yahweh because he is good

and because he faithfully loves us forever!

2 Those whom Yahweh has saved should tell others

that he has rescued them from their enemies.

3 He has gathered them together from many foreign lands;

he has gathered them from the east and the west,

from the north and from the southern sea.

4 Some of those who returned from those countries wandered in the trackless desert;

they could find no town to live in.

5 They were hungry and thirsty,

and they became weak and discouraged.

6 Then because they were distressed, they called out to Yahweh,

and he rescued them from what was distressing them.

7 He led them along a straight road where they walked safely

to cities where they could live.

8 They should praise Yahweh for how he has loved them faithfully

and for the wonderful things that he does for all people!

9 They should thank him because he satisfies people who are thirsty,

and he gives hungry people plenty of good food to eat.

10 Some of them sat in deep darkness;

they were prisoners, suffering in iron chains fastened to their hands and feet.

11 They were suffering in prison because they had rebelled against God;

they actually rejected the instructions that the Most High God gave to them.

12 God made them experience difficult things so that they would no longer be proud.

When bad things happened to them, there was no one who would help them.

13 Then because they were so distressed, they called out to Yahweh,

and he rescued them from what was distressing them.

14 He broke the chains that were on their hands and feet

and brought them out of those very dark prisons.

15-16 15-16Yahweh broke down the bronze gates

and he cut through the iron bars of their prison.

Therefore they should praise Yahweh for how he has loved them faithfully

and for the wonderful things that he does for all people!

17 Some of them foolishly rebelled against God,

and they suffered because of their sins.

18 They did not want to eat any food,

and they almost died.

19 Then because they were so distressed, they called out to Yahweh,

and he rescued them from what was distressing them.

20 Then Yahweh healed them by speaking a message of healing;

in this way he saved them from dying.

21 They should praise Yahweh for how he has loved them faithfully

and for the wonderful things that he does for all people!

22 They should give offerings to him to show that they are thankful,

and they should tell about the miracles that he has performed by singing joyfully!

23 Some of them sailed in ships;

they bought and sold things far away across the sea.

24 These people saw the creatures that Yahweh created;

they saw the amazing things that he had made as they traveled across the very deep seas.

25 Then he commanded the winds to become strong.

They became a storm and stirred up very high waves.

26 The ships in which they were sailing went up on the high waves,

then they went down into the troughs between the waves.

This dangerous action terrified the sailors.

27 They stumbled about and staggered as drunken men do,

and everything that they tried to do was useless.

28 Then because they were distressed, they called out to Yahweh,

and he rescued them from what was distressing them.

29 He calmed the storm

and he stilled the waves.

30 Then they were very glad that the storm had become calm

and Yahweh brought them safely into the harbor where they had wanted to go.

31 They should praise Yahweh for how he has loved them faithfully

and for the wonderful things that he does for all people!

32 They should praise him among the Israelite people when they have gathered together,

and they should praise him in front of the leaders of the community.

33 Yahweh causes rivers to become dry

so that the land becomes barren,

and he makes springs of water to become dusty ground.

34 Yahweh causes land that normally produces a lot of crops to become salty wastelands.

He does that because the people who live there are very wicked.

35 But Yahweh also creates pools of water in deserts,

that is, he causes springs to flow where the ground had been dry.

36 Then he brings people who are hungry into that land,

to live there and to build cities there.

37 Then they sow some of the fields with seeds

and in other fields they plant grapevines

and it all produces a large amount of crops.

38 He blesses those people so that they have very many children,

and so that their herds of cattle become very large.

39 Then the people become fewer because the leaders oppress them

and cause them to become distressed and to suffer.

40 Then Yahweh shows that he despises the leaders who oppress them,

and makes those leaders wander in a wilderness where there are no roads.

41 But he rescues poor people from those who oppress them

and causes their families to increase in number as flocks of sheep do.

42 People who live rightly see Yahweh do these things, and they rejoice;

wicked people know about these things, too,

but they have nothing to say in reply.

43 Those who are wise should think carefully about these things;

they should thoughtfully consider all the things that Yahweh has done to show that he faithfully loves them.
