Psalm 107

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

2 Let those whose cause the Lord has taken up say so, his people whom he has taken out of the hands of their haters;

3 Making them come together out of all the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.

4 They were wandering in the waste places; they saw no way to a resting-place.

5 Their souls became feeble for need of food and drink.

6 Then they sent up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gave them salvation out of all their troubles;

7 Guiding them in the right way, so that they might come into the town of their resting-place.

8 Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!

9 He gives its desire to the unresting soul, so that it is full of good things.

10 Those who were in the dark, in the black night, in chains of sorrow and iron;

11 Because they went against the words of God, and gave no thought to the laws of the Most High:

12 So that he made their hearts weighted down with grief; they were falling, and had no helper.

13 Then they sent up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gave them salvation out of all their troubles.

14 He took them out of the dark and the black night, and all their chains were broken.

15 Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!

16 The doors of brass are broken by his arm, and the bands of iron are cut in two.

17 Foolish men, because of their sins, and because of their wrongdoing, are troubled;

18 They are disgusted by all food, and they come near to the doors of death.

19 Then they send up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gives them salvation out of all their troubles.

20 He sent his word and made them well, and kept them safe from the underworld.

21 Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!

22 Let them make offerings of praise, giving news of his works with cries of joy.

23 Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business in the great waters;

24 They see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.

25 For at his word comes up the storm-wind, lifting high the waves.

26 The sailors go up to heaven, and down into the deep; their souls are wasted because of their trouble.

27 They are turned here and there, rolling like a man who is full of wine; and all their wisdom comes to nothing.

28 Then they send up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gives them salvation out of all their troubles.

29 He makes the storm into a calm, so that the waves are at peace.

30 Then they are glad, because the sea is quiet, and he takes them to the harbour of their desire.

31 Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!

32 Let them give glory to him in the meeting of the people, and praise among the chiefs.

33 He makes rivers into waste places, and springs of water into a dry land;

34 He makes a fertile country into a salt waste, because of the sins of those who are living there.

35 He makes a waste land into a place of water, and a dry land into water-springs.

36 And there he gives the poor a resting-place, so that they may make themselves a town;

37 And put seed in the fields and make vine-gardens, to give them fruit.

38 He gives them his blessing so that they are increased greatly, and their cattle do not become less.

39 And when they are made low, and crushed by trouble and sorrow,

40 He puts an end to the pride of kings, and sends them wandering in the waste lands where there is no way.

41 But he puts the poor man on high from his troubles, and gives him families like a flock.

42 The upright see it and are glad: the mouth of the sinner is stopped.

43 Let the wise give thought to these things, and see the mercies of the Lord.

Orthodox Jewish Bible OJB

1 07 O give thanks unto Hashem, for He is tov; ki l’olam chasdo (for His mercy endureth forever).

2 Let the Geulei Hashem (the redeemed of Hashem) say so, whom He hath redeemed from the yad tzar;

3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the mizrach (east), and from the ma’arav (west), from the tzafon (north), and from the yam (sea).

4 They wandered in the midbar in a desolate region; they found no derech to an ir moshav (inhabited city).

5 Re’evim (hungry) and tzeme’im (thirsty), their nefesh fainted within them.

6 Then they cried unto Hashem in their tzoros, and He delivered them out of their distresses.

7 And He led them forth by the derech yesharah that they might go to an ir moshav.

8 Oh that men would praise Hashem for His chesed, and for His nifla’ot (wonderful works) to the Bnei Adam!

9 For He satisfieth the longing nefesh, and filleth the hungry nefesh with the tov.

10 Such as sit in choshech and in tzalmavet, being bound in oni and barzel (iron);

11 Because they rebelled against the words of G-d, and despised the atzat Elyon (counsel of the Most High);

12 Therefore He brought down their lev with amal (toil); they stumbled, and there was no ozer (helper).

13 Then they cried out unto Hashem in their tzoros, and He saved them out of their distresses.

14 He brought them out of choshech and tzalmavet, and broke apart their chains.

15 Oh that men would praise Hashem for His chesed, and for His nifla’ot (wonderful works) to the Bnei Adam!

16 For He hath broken down the dlatot nechoshet, and cut asunder the bars of barzel (iron).

17 Fools because of their derech peysha, and because of their avonot (iniquities), were afflicted.

18 Their nefesh abhorreth all manner of ochel (food); and they drew near unto the sha’arei mavet (gates of death).

19 Then they cried unto Hashem in their tzoros, and He saveth them out of their distresses.

20 He sent His Davar, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions [See Yn 1:1, 14; Mt 4:23].

21 Oh that men would praise Hashem for His chesed, and for His nifla’ot (wonderful works) to the Bnei Adam!

22 And let them sacrifice the zivkhei todah (sacrifices of thanksgiving), and recount His works with joyful singing.

23 They that go down to the yam in oniyot (ships), that do business on mayim rabbim (great waters);

24 These have seen the ma’asei Hashem, and His nifla’ot (wonders) in the deep.

25 For He commandeth, and raiseth up a ruach sa’arah (stormy wind), which lifteth up the galim (waves) thereof.

26 They [the galim] mount up to Shomayim, they went down again to the tehomot (depths); their nefesh melted in ra’ah (peril, trouble).

27 They reeled and staggered like a shikkor, and were at their wit’s end.

28 Then they cried unto Hashem in their tzoros, and He brought them out of their distresses.

29 He made the sa’arah (storm) a calm, so that the galim (waves) thereof were still [Mk 4:41].

30 Then were they glad because they were quiet; so He brought them unto their makhoz chefetz (desired haven, city, district, boundary).

31 Oh that men would praise Hashem for His chesed, and for His nifla’ot (wonderful works) to the Bnei Adam!

32 Let them exalt Him also in the Kehal Am, and praise Him in the moshav zekenim (council of the elders).

33 He turneth neharot (rivers) into a midbar, and the springs of water into dry ground;

34 An eretz p’ri (fruitful land) into salt wasteland, because of the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

35 He turneth the midbar into an agam (pool, lake) of mayim, and dry ground into springs of water.

36 And there He maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may found an ir moshav (an inhabited city);

37 And sow the sadot, and plant kramim, and acquire p’ri tevu’ah (fruits of increase).

38 He made a brocha on them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and He doth not permit their behemah to decrease.

39 Again, they are diminished and brought low through otzer (oppression), ra’ah (calamity, peril, trouble) and yagon (sorrow, grief).

40 He poureth contempt upon nedivim (nobles), and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no derech.

41 Yet setteth He the evyon (needy) up above oni (affliction), and maketh him mishpekhot like a tzon (flock).

42 The yesharim (upright ones) shall see it, and rejoice with simchah; and all iniquity shall shut its mouth.

43 Whosoever is chacham, and will be shomer over these things, even they shall understand the chasdei Hashem (lovingkindnesses of Hashem).
