Psalm 107

Neues Leben. Die Bibel

1 Dankt dem HERRN, denn er ist gut und seine Gnade bleibt ewig bestehen. (Ps 106,1) 2 Alle sollen es bezeugen, die der HERR gerettet hat, die er aus der Hand ihrer Feinde befreit hat. (Jes 35,9) 3 Er hat sie aus vielen Ländern gesammelt, aus Ost und West, aus Nord und Süd. (Neh 1,9; Ps 106,47; Hes 20,34) 4 Manche irrten auf einsamem Weg durch die Wüste und sie fanden keine Stadt, in der sie wohnen konnten. (Jos 5,6) 5 Sie waren hungrig und durstig und wären beinahe gestorben. 6 Da schrien sie zum HERRN in ihrer Not und er rettete sie aus ihrer Verzweiflung. 7 Er führte sie den richtigen Weg, sodass sie in eine Stadt kamen, in der sie wohnen konnten. (Jer 31,9) 8 Sie sollen dem HERRN für seine Gnade danken und für die Wunder, die er an ihnen getan hat. 9 Denn er versorgt die Durstigen und gibt den Hungrigen reichlich zu essen. (Mt 5,6; Lk 1,53) 10 Manche saßen in Finsternis und tiefster Verzweiflung, gefangen in Elend und Ketten. (Mi 7,8; Lk 1,79) 11 Denn sie hatten sich gegen Gottes Gebote aufgelehnt und den Ratschlag des Höchsten verachtet. (4Mo 15,31) 12 Deshalb zerbrach er ihr Herz durch großes Leid; sie fielen zu Boden, und niemand half ihnen auf. 13 Da schrien sie zum HERRN in ihrer Not, und er rettete sie aus ihrer Verzweiflung. 14 Er führte sie aus Finsternis und tiefster Dunkelheit; er zerriss ihre Ketten. (Ps 116,16; Apg 12,7) 15 Sie sollen dem HERRN für seine Gnade danken und für die Wunder, die er an ihnen getan hat. 16 Denn er zerbrach bronzene Gefängnistore und zerschlug eiserne Riegel. (Jes 45,1) 17 Manche mussten leiden wegen ihrer Auflehnung und wegen ihrer Sünden. (Jes 65,6; Hes 24,23) 18 Sie ekelten sich vor jeder Speise und waren dem Tode nahe. (Hi 33,19; Ps 9,14; Ps 88,4) 19 Da schrien sie zum HERRN in ihrer Not, und er rettete sie aus ihrer Verzweiflung. 20 Er sprach ein Wort, und sie wurden gesund – so rettete er sie an der Schwelle des Todes. (2Kön 20,5; Mt 8,8) 21 Sie sollen dem HERRN für seine Gnade danken und für die Wunder, die er an ihnen getan hat. 22 Sie sollen Dankopfer darbringen und voll Freude von seinen herrlichen Taten erzählen. (3Mo 7,12; Ps 9,12; Ps 50,14; Ps 73,28; Ps 118,17)

3Mo 7,12Ps 9,12Ps 50,14Ps 73,28Ps 118,17

23 Manche befuhren mit Schiffen das Meer, um Handel zu treiben auf den Ozeanen der Welt. 24 Auch sie sahen die Taten des HERRN, seine Wunder in den Tiefen des Meeres. 25 Er sprach ein Wort, und Stürme tobten und die Wellen türmten sich auf. (Ps 93,3) 26 Die Schiffe wurden zum Himmel emporgehoben und wieder hinab in die Tiefe geschleudert, dass die Seeleute vor Angst zitterten. 27 Sie torkelten und taumelten wie Betrunkene und wussten nicht mehr aus noch ein. 28 Da schrien sie zum HERRN in ihrer Not, und er rettete sie aus ihrer Verzweiflung. 29 Er verwandelte den Sturm in Stille und beruhigte die Wellen. (Mt 8,26; Lk 8,24) 30 Da freuten sie sich, dass es still geworden war und er führte sie sicher zum ersehnten Hafen. 31 Sie sollen dem HERRN für seine Gnade danken und für die Wunder, die er an ihnen getan hat. 32 Sie sollen ihn öffentlich vor der Gemeinde rühmen und vor dem Rat der Ältesten loben. (Ps 22,23; Jes 25,1) 33 Er verwandelt Flüsse in Wüsten und Quellen in trockenes Land. 34 Aus fruchtbarem Land macht er eine Salzwüste wegen der Bosheit der Menschen, die dort leben. (1Mo 19,24) 35 Doch er verwandelt die Wüsten wieder zu einem wasserreichen See und dürres Land zu Wasserquellen. (Jes 35,6; Jes 41,18) 36 Er holt die Hungrigen herbei, damit sie sich dort niederlassen und ihre Städte bauen. 37 Sie besäen ihre Felder, pflanzen Weinberge und fahren reiche Ernten ein. (2Kön 19,29; Am 9,14) 38 Und er segnet sie mit vielen Kindern und versorgt sie mit großen Viehherden. (1Mo 12,2; 2Mo 1,7) 39 Wenn sie, gebeugt von Sorge und Not, weniger werden, 40 bestraft der HERR ihre Fürsten mit seiner Verachtung und lässt sie in Wüsten ohne Weg umherirren. 41 Die Armen aber rettet er aus der Not und lässt ihre Familien wachsen wie riesige Schafherden. 42 Die Gottesfürchtigen werden es sehen und sich freuen, die Bösen aber müssen verstummen. (Hi 22,19; Ps 52,8; Röm 3,19) 43 Wer weise ist, der achte auf diese Dinge, und er wird erkennen, wie die Gnade des HERRN in der Geschichte am Werk ist. (Ps 64,10; Jer 9,11; Hos 14,9)

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.

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)

(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.

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)

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)
