Psalm 107 (WEBP)

[1] Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
[2] Let the redeemed by Yahweh say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
[3] and gathered out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
[4] They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way. They found no city to live in.
[5] Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
[6] Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
[7] He led them also by a straight way, that they might go to a city to live in.
[8] Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!
[9] For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good.
[10] Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron,
[11] because they rebelled against the words of God, and condemned the counsel of the Most High.
[12] Therefore he brought down their heart with labor. They fell down, and there was no one to help.
[13] Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
[14] He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke away their chains.
[15] Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!
[16] For he has broken the gates of bronze, and cut through bars of iron.
[17] Fools are afflicted because of their disobedience, and because of their iniquities.
[18] Their soul abhors all kinds of food. They draw near to the gates of death.
[19] Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, and he saves them out of their distresses.
[20] He sends his word, and heals them, and delivers them from their graves.
[21] Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!
[22] Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his deeds with singing.
[23] Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business in great waters,
[24] these see Yahweh’s deeds, and his wonders in the deep.
[25] For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up its waves.
[26] They mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths. Their soul melts away because of trouble.
[27] They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.
[28] Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, and he brings them out of their distress.
[29] He makes the storm a calm, so that its waves are still.
[30] Then they are glad because it is calm, so he brings them to their desired haven.
[31] Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds for the children of men!
[32] Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, and praise him in the seat of the elders.
[33] He turns rivers into a desert, water springs into a thirsty ground,
[34] and a fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
[35] He turns a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into water springs.
[36] There he makes the hungry live, that they may prepare a city to live in,
[37] sow fields, plant vineyards, and reap the fruits of increase.
[38] He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly. He doesn’t allow their livestock to decrease.
[39] Again, they are diminished and bowed down through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
[40] He pours contempt on princes, and causes them to wander in a trackless waste.
[41] Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction, and increases their families like a flock.
[42] The upright will see it, and be glad. All the wicked will shut their mouths.
[43] Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things. They will consider the loving kindnesses of Yahweh.

Psalm 107:1 “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “Lord” (all caps) in other translations.
Psalm 107:11 The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “אֱלֹהִ֑ים” (Elohim).

Young’s Literal Translation

Psalm 107 (YLT)

[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!
