Capitole:


versetul 1

Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.


versetul 2

Let the redeemed by Yahweh say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,


versetul 3

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


versetul 4

They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way. They found no city to live in.


versetul 5

Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.


versetul 6

Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.


versetul 7

He led them also by a straight way, that they might go to a city to live in.


versetul 8

Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!


versetul 9

For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good.


versetul 10

Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron,


versetul 11

because they rebelled against the words of God, and condemned the counsel of the Most High.


versetul 12

Therefore he brought down their heart with labor. They fell down, and there was no one to help.


versetul 13

Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.


versetul 14

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke away their chains.


versetul 15

Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!


versetul 16

For he has broken the gates of bronze, and cut through bars of iron.


versetul 17

Fools are afflicted because of their disobedience, and because of their iniquities.


versetul 18

Their soul abhors all kinds of food. They draw near to the gates of death.


versetul 19

Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, and he saves them out of their distresses.


versetul 20

He sends his word, and heals them, and delivers them from their graves.


versetul 21

Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!


versetul 22

Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his deeds with singing.


versetul 23

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


versetul 24

these see Yahweh’s deeds, and his wonders in the deep.


versetul 25

For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up its waves.


versetul 26

They mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths. Their soul melts away because of trouble.


versetul 27

They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.


versetul 28

Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, and he brings them out of their distress.


versetul 29

He makes the storm a calm, so that its waves are still.


versetul 30

Then they are glad because it is calm, so he brings them to their desired haven.


versetul 31

Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds for the children of men!


versetul 32

Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, and praise him in the seat of the elders.


versetul 33

He turns rivers into a desert, water springs into a thirsty ground,


versetul 34

and a fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of those who dwell in it.


versetul 35

He turns a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into water springs.


versetul 36

There he makes the hungry live, that they may prepare a city to live in,


versetul 37

sow fields, plant vineyards, and reap the fruits of increase.


versetul 38

He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly. He doesn’t allow their livestock to decrease.


versetul 39

Again, they are diminished and bowed down through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.


versetul 40

He pours contempt on princes, and causes them to wander in a trackless waste.


versetul 41

Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction, and increases their families like a flock.


versetul 42

The upright will see it, and be glad. All the wicked will shut their mouths.


versetul 43

Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things. They will consider the loving kindnesses of Yahweh.
