Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So

1 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! (Ps 100:5; Ps 105:1) 2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble^[1] (Ps 106:10; Isa 62:12; Isa 63:4) 3 and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south. (De 30:3; Ps 106:47; Isa 11:12; Isa 43:5; Isa 56:8; Jer 29:14; Jer 31:8; Jer 31:10; Eze 20:34; Eze 20:41; Eze 39:27)

4 Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in; (De 32:10; Ps 107:36; Ps 107:40) 5 hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them. (Ps 77:3) 6 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. (Ps 106:44; Ps 107:13; Ps 107:19; Ps 107:28)

Ps 106:44Ps 107:13Ps 107:19Ps 107:28

7 He led them by a straight way till they reached a city to dwell in. (Ezr 8:21; Ps 107:4) 8 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! (Ps 107:15; Ps 107:21; Ps 107:31) 9 For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things. (Ps 34:10; Ps 146:7; Lu 1:53) 10 Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and in irons, (Job 10:21; Job 36:8; Ps 107:14; Isa 42:7; Isa 49:9; Mic 7:8; Lu 1:79)

Job 10:21Job 36:8Ps 107:14Isa 42:7Isa 49:9Mic 7:8Lu 1:79

11 for they had rebelled against the words of God, and spurned the counsel of the Most High. (De 31:20; Ps 78:40; Ps 106:7; Ps 106:33; Ps 106:43; Pr 1:30; Pr 5:12; Pr 15:5; Lu 7:30)

12 So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor; they fell down, with none to help. (Ps 22:11) 13 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. (Ps 107:6; Ps 107:19; Ps 107:28) 14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart. (Ps 2:3; Ps 107:10) 15 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! (Ps 107:8; Ps 107:21; Ps 107:31) 16 For he shatters the doors of bronze and cuts in two the bars of iron. (Isa 45:2) 17 Some were fools through their sinful ways, and because of their iniquities suffered affliction; (Pr 1:7; Pr 14:9) 18 they loathed any kind of food, and they drew near to the gates of death. (Job 33:20; Job 33:22; Job 38:17; Ps 88:3)

19 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. (Ps 107:6; Ps 107:13; Ps 107:28) 20 He sent out his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction. (2Ki 20:5; Job 33:29; Ps 30:2; Ps 103:4; Ps 147:15; Ps 147:18; Mt 8:8)

21 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! (Ps 107:8; Ps 107:15; Ps 107:31) 22 And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, and tell of his deeds in songs of joy! (Ps 9:11; Ps 50:14; Ps 105:43; Ps 118:17)

Ps 9:11Ps 50:14Ps 105:43Ps 118:17

23 Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters; (Isa 42:10) 24 they saw the deeds of the Lord, his wondrous works in the deep. 25 For he commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea. (Ps 105:31; Ps 105:34; Ps 148:8; Jon 1:4)

Ps 105:31Ps 105:34Ps 148:8Jon 1:4

26 They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their evil plight; (Ps 22:14; Ps 119:28) 27 they reeled and staggered like drunken men and were at their wits’ end.^[2] (Job 12:25; Isa 19:3; Isa 24:20; Isa 29:9)

Job 12:25Isa 19:3Isa 24:20Isa 29:9

28 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. (Ps 107:6; Ps 107:13; Ps 107:19) 29 He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. (Ps 65:7) 30 Then they were glad that the waters^[3] were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven. 31 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! (Ps 107:8; Ps 107:15; Ps 107:21) 32 Let them extol him in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. (Ps 22:22; Ps 22:25; Ps 99:5) 33 He turns rivers into a desert, springs of water into thirsty ground, (Isa 42:15; Isa 50:2) 34 a fruitful land into a salty waste, because of the evil of its inhabitants. (Ge 13:10; Ge 14:3; Ge 19:24; De 29:23)

Ge 13:10Ge 14:3Ge 19:24De 29:23

35 He turns a desert into pools of water, a parched land into springs of water. (Job 38:26; Ps 114:8; Isa 35:6; Isa 41:18; Isa 43:19)

Job 38:26Ps 114:8Isa 35:6Isa 41:18Isa 43:19

36 And there he lets the hungry dwell, and they establish a city to live in; (Ps 107:4; Ps 107:7) 37 they sow fields and plant vineyards and get a fruitful yield. 38 By his blessing they multiply greatly, and he does not let their livestock diminish. (Ge 12:2; Ge 17:20; Ex 1:7) 39 When they are diminished and brought low through oppression, evil, and sorrow, 40 he pours contempt on princes and makes them wander in trackless wastes; (De 32:10; Job 12:21; Job 12:24) 41 but he raises up the needy out of affliction and makes their families like flocks. (1Sa 2:8; Job 21:11; Ps 113:7) 42 The upright see it and are glad, and all wickedness shuts its mouth. (Job 22:19; Ps 63:11) 43 Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things; let them consider the steadfast love of the Lord. (Ps 64:9; Jer 9:12; Ho 14:9)

1 ¡Alabad a YHVH, porque Él es bueno, Porque para siempre es su misericordia! 2 Díganlo los redimidos de YHVH, Los que ha redimido del poder del enemigo, 3 Y los ha congregado de las tierras, Del oriente y del occidente, Del Aquilón y del mar. 4 Deambularon por un desierto solitario y sin camino, Sin hallar ciudad donde vivir, 5 Hambrientos y sedientos, Su alma desfallecía en ellos. 6 Pero clamaron a YHVH en su angustia, Y los libró de su tribulación. 7 Los condujo por un camino llano, Para que dieran con una ciudad habitable. 8 ¡Den gracias a YHVH por su misericordia, Y por sus maravillas para con los hijos del hombre! 9 Porque Él sacia al alma sedienta, Y colma de bienes al alma hambrienta. 10 Moraban en tinieblas y sombra de muerte, Aprisionados en aflicción y en cadenas, 11 Por cuanto fueron rebeldes a las palabras de ’El, Y aborrecieron el consejo de ’Elyón. 12 Por eso humilló sus corazones con duros trabajos, Tropezaron, y no hubo quien ayudara. 13 Pero en su angustia clamaron a YHVH, Y los libró de su tribulación; 14 Los sacó de las tinieblas y de la sombra de muerte, Y desligó sus ataduras. 15 ¡Den gracias a YHVH por su misericordia Y por sus maravillas para con los hijos del hombre! 16 Porque quebró las puertas de bronce, Y arrancó los cerrojos de hierro. 17 Andaban afligidos por sus rebeliones, Ayunando por sus maldades, 18 Aborrecieron todo manjar, Y ya tocaban las puertas de la muerte, 19 Pero clamaron a YHVH en su angustia, Y Él los libró de su tribulación; 20 Envió su palabra y los sanó, Y los libró del sepulcro. 21 ¡Den gracias a YHVH por su misericordia, Y por sus maravillas para con los hijos del hombre! 22 Y ofrezcan sacrificios de acción de gracias, Y publiquen sus obras con cánticos de júbilo. 23 Se adentraron en naves por el mar, Para traficar en las inmensas aguas, 24 Contemplando las obras de YHVH, Sus maravillas en lo profundo. 25 Mandó alzarse un viento tempestuoso, Que encrespó el oleaje. 26 Subían a los cielos, bajaban al abismo, Sus almas revueltas por las náuseas, 27 Rodaban y se tambaleaban como ebrios, De nada les valía su pericia. 28 Pero clamaron a YHVH en su angustia, Y los libró de su tribulación. 29 Hizo acallar la tormenta, Enmudeció el oleaje, 30 Se alegraron de la bonanza; Los condujo al puerto que anhelaban. 31 ¡Den gracias a YHVH por su misericordia, Y por sus maravillas para con los hijos del hombre! 32 Exáltenlo en la congregación del pueblo, Y alábenlo en la reunión de los ancianos. 33 Convierte ríos en un desierto, Y los manantiales en sequedales, 34 La tierra fértil en estéril, Por la maldad de quienes la habitan. 35 Vuelve el desierto en estanques, Y la tierra seca en manantiales, 36 Allí asienta a los hambrientos, Para que tengan ciudad habitable, 37 Siembren campos y planten viñas, Que den fruto en la cosecha. 38 Los bendice, y se multiplican, Y no deja que disminuya su ganado. 39 Cuando abatidos por la carga, menguan, A causa de infortunios y congojas, 40 Él esparce menosprecio sobre los nobles, Y los descarría por un yermo sin camino. 41 Levanta al pobre de la miseria, Y multiplica sus familias como rebaños. 42 Los rectos lo verán y se alegrarán, Y la iniquidad tendrá que cerrar su boca. 43 Aquel que sea sabio y guarde estas cosas, Entenderá la gran misericordia de YHVH.
