Psalm 107

Menge Bibel

1 »Danket dem HERRN, denn er ist freundlich, ja, ewiglich währt seine Gnade«:2 so sollen die vom HERRN Erlösten sprechen, die er befreit hat aus Drangsal[1]3 und die er gesammelt aus den Ländern vom Aufgang her und vom Niedergang, vom Norden her und vom Meer[2].4 Sie irrten umher in der Wüste, der Öde, und fanden den Weg nicht zu einer Wohnstatt;5 gequält vom Hunger und vom Durst, wollte ihre Seele in ihnen verschmachten[3].6 Da schrien sie zum HERRN in ihrer Not, und er rettete sie aus ihren Ängsten7 und leitete sie auf richtigem Wege, daß sie kamen zu einer bewohnten Ortschaft: –8 die mögen danken dem HERRN für seine Güte und für seine Wundertaten an den Menschenkindern,9 daß er die lechzende Seele gesättigt und die hungernde Seele gefüllt hat mit Labung.10 Die da saßen in Finsternis und Todesnacht, gefangen in Elend und Eisenbanden –11 denn sie hatten Gottes Geboten getrotzt und den Ratschluß[4] des Höchsten verachtet,12 so daß er ihren Sinn durch Leiden beugte, daß sie niedersanken und keinen Helfer hatten –;13 da schrien sie zum HERRN in ihrer Not, und er rettete sie aus ihren Ängsten;14 er führte sie heraus aus Finsternis und Todesnacht und zersprengte ihre Fesseln: –15 die mögen danken dem HERRN für seine Güte und für seine Wundertaten an den Menschenkindern,16 daß er eherne Türen zerbrochen und eiserne Riegel zerschlagen.17 Die da krank waren infolge ihres Sündenlebens und wegen ihrer Verfehlungen leiden mußten –18 vor jeglicher Speise hatten sie Widerwillen, so daß sie den Pforten des Todes nahe waren –;19 da schrien sie zum HERRN in ihrer Not, und er rettete sie aus ihren Ängsten;20 er sandte sein Wort, sie gesund zu machen, und ließ sie aus ihren Gruben[5] entrinnen: –21 die mögen danken dem HERRN für seine Güte und für seine Wundertaten an den Menschenkindern;22 sie mögen Opfer des Dankes bringen und seine Taten mit Jubel verkünden!23 Die aufs Meer gefahren waren in Schiffen, auf weiten Fluten Handelsgeschäfte trieben,24 die haben das Walten des HERRN geschaut und seine Wundertaten auf hoher See.25 Denn er gebot und ließ einen Sturm entstehn, der hoch die Wogen des Meeres türmte:26 sie stiegen empor zum Himmel und fuhren hinab in die Tiefen, so daß ihr Herz vor Angst verzagte;27 sie wurden schwindlig und schwankten wie Trunkne, und mit all ihrer Weisheit war’s zu Ende: –28 da schrien sie zum HERRN in ihrer Not, und er befreite sie aus ihren Ängsten;29 er stillte das Ungewitter zum Säuseln, und das Toben der Wogen verstummte;30 da wurden sie froh, daß es still geworden, und er führte sie zum ersehnten Hafen: –31 die mögen danken dem HERRN für seine Güte und für seine Wundertaten an den Menschenkindern;32 sie mögen ihn erheben in der Volksgemeinde und im Kreise der Alten ihn preisen!33 Er wandelte Ströme zur Wüste und Wasserquellen zu dürrem Land,34 fruchtbares Erdreich zu salziger Steppe wegen der Bosheit seiner Bewohner.35 Wiederum machte er wüstes Land zum Wasserteich und dürres Gebiet zu Wasserquellen36 und ließ dort Hungrige seßhaft werden, so daß sie eine Stadt zum Wohnsitz bauten37 und Felder besäten und Weinberge pflanzten, die reichen Ertrag an Früchten brachten;38 und er segnete sie, daß sie stark sich mehrten, und ließ ihres Viehs nicht wenig sein.39 Dann aber nahmen sie ab und wurden gebeugt durch den Druck des Unglücks und Kummers;40 »über Edle goß er Verachtung aus und ließ sie irren in pfadloser Öde«. (Hi 12,21)41 Den Armen aber hob er empor aus dem Elend und machte seine Geschlechter wie Kleinviehherden.42 »Die Gerechten sehen’s und freuen sich, alle Bosheit aber muß schließen ihren Mund«. (Hi 5,16; Hi 22,19)43 Wer ist weise? Der beachte dies und lerne die Gnadenerweise des HERRN verstehn!

Psalm 107

New International Reader’s Version

von Biblica
1 Give thanks to the LORD, because he is good. His faithful love continues for ever.2 Let those who have been set free by the LORD tell their story. He set them free from the power of the enemy.3 He brought them back from other lands. He brought them back from east and west, from north and south.4 Some of them wandered in deserts that were dry and empty. They couldn’t find a city where they could make their homes.5 They were hungry and thirsty. Their lives were slipping away.6 Then they cried out to the LORD because of their problems. And he saved them from their troubles.7 He led them straight to a city where they could make their homes.8 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his faithful love. Let them give thanks for the wonderful things he does for people.9 He gives those who are thirsty all the water they want. He gives those who are hungry all the good food they can eat.10 Others lived in the deepest darkness. They suffered as prisoners in iron chains.11 That’s because they hadn’t obeyed the commands of God. They had refused to follow the plans of the Most High God.12 So he made them do work that was hard and bitter. They tripped and fell, and there was no one to help them.13 Then they cried out to the LORD because of their problems. And he saved them from their troubles.14 He brought them out of the deepest darkness. He broke their chains off.15 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his faithful love. Let them give thanks for the wonderful things he does for people.16 He breaks down gates that are made of bronze. He cuts through bars that are made of iron.17 Others were foolish. They suffered because of their sins. They suffered because they wouldn’t obey the LORD.18 They refused to eat anything. They came close to passing through the gates of death.19 Then they cried out to the LORD because of their problems. And he saved them from their troubles.20 He gave his command and healed them. He saved them from the grave.21 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his faithful love. Let them give thanks for the wonderful things he does for people.22 Let them sacrifice thank-offerings. Let them talk about what he has done as they sing with joy.23 Some people sailed out on the ocean in ships. They traded goods on the mighty waters.24 They saw the works of the LORD. They saw the wonderful deeds he did on the ocean.25 He spoke and stirred up a storm. It lifted the waves high.26 They rose up to the heavens. Then they went down deep into the ocean. In that kind of danger the people’s boldness melted away.27 They were unsteady like people who have become drunk. They didn’t know what to do.28 Then they cried out to the LORD because of their problems. And he brought them out of their troubles.29 He made the storm as quiet as a whisper. The waves of the ocean calmed down.30 The people were glad when the ocean became calm. Then he guided them to the harbour they were looking for.31 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his faithful love. Let them give thanks for the wonderful things he does for people.32 Let them honour him among his people who gather for worship. Let them praise him in the meeting of the elders.33 He turned rivers into a desert. He turned flowing springs into thirsty ground.34 He turned land that produced crops into a salty land where nothing could grow. He did it because the people who lived there were evil.35 He turned the desert into pools of water. He turned the dry and cracked ground into flowing springs.36 He brought hungry people there to live. They built a city where they could make their homes.37 They planted fields and vineyards that produced large crops.38 He blessed the people, and they greatly increased their numbers. He kept their herds from getting smaller.39 Then the number of God’s people got smaller. They were made humble by trouble, suffering and sorrow.40 The God who looks down on proud nobles made them wander in a desert where no one lives.41 But he lifted needy people out of their suffering. He made their families increase like flocks of sheep.42 Honest people see it and are filled with joy. But no one who is evil has anything to say.43 Let those who are wise pay attention to these things. Let them think about the loving deeds of the LORD.

Psalm 107

English Standard Version

von Crossway
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; Jes 62,12; Jes 63,4)3 and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south. (5Mo 30,3; Ps 106,47; Jes 11,12; Jes 43,5; Jes 56,8; Jer 29,14; Jer 31,8; Jer 31,10; Hes 20,34; Hes 20,41; Hes 39,27)4 Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in; (5Mo 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)7 He led them by a straight way till they reached a city to dwell in. (Esr 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; Lk 1,53)10 Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and in irons, (Hi 10,21; Hi 36,8; Ps 107,14; Jes 42,7; Jes 49,9; Mi 7,8; Lk 1,79)11 for they had rebelled against the words of God, and spurned the counsel of the Most High. (5Mo 31,20; Ps 78,40; Ps 106,7; Ps 106,33; Ps 106,43; Spr 1,30; Spr 5,12; Spr 15,5; Lk 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. (Jes 45,2)17 Some were fools through their sinful ways, and because of their iniquities suffered affliction; (Spr 1,7; Spr 14,9)18 they loathed any kind of food, and they drew near to the gates of death. (Hi 33,20; Hi 33,22; Hi 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. (2Kön 20,5; Hi 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)23 Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters; (Jes 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)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] (Hi 12,25; Jes 19,3; Jes 24,20; Jes 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, (Jes 42,15; Jes 50,2)34 a fruitful land into a salty waste, because of the evil of its inhabitants. (1Mo 13,10; 1Mo 14,3; 1Mo 19,24; 5Mo 29,23)35 He turns a desert into pools of water, a parched land into springs of water. (Hi 38,26; Ps 114,8; Jes 35,6; Jes 41,18; Jes 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. (1Mo 12,2; 1Mo 17,20; 2Mo 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; (5Mo 32,10; Hi 12,21; Hi 12,24)41 but he raises up the needy out of affliction and makes their families like flocks. (1Sam 2,8; Hi 21,11; Ps 113,7)42 The upright see it and are glad, and all wickedness shuts its mouth. (Hi 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; Hos 14,9)
