Psalm 107 | New International Reader’s Version
1Give thanks to the LORD, because he is good. His faithful love continues for ever.2Let those who have been set free by the LORD tell their story. He set them free from the power of the enemy.3He brought them back from other lands. He brought them back from east and west, from north and south.4Some of them wandered in deserts that were dry and empty. They couldn’t find a city where they could make their homes.5They were hungry and thirsty. Their lives were slipping away.6Then they cried out to the LORD because of their problems. And he saved them from their troubles.7He led them straight to a city where they could make their homes.8Let them give thanks to the LORD for his faithful love. Let them give thanks for the wonderful things he does for people.9He gives those who are thirsty all the water they want. He gives those who are hungry all the good food they can eat.10Others lived in the deepest darkness. They suffered as prisoners in iron chains.11That’s because they hadn’t obeyed the commands of God. They had refused to follow the plans of the Most High God.12So he made them do work that was hard and bitter. They tripped and fell, and there was no one to help them.13Then they cried out to the LORD because of their problems. And he saved them from their troubles.14He brought them out of the deepest darkness. He broke their chains off.15Let them give thanks to the LORD for his faithful love. Let them give thanks for the wonderful things he does for people.16He breaks down gates that are made of bronze. He cuts through bars that are made of iron.17Others were foolish. They suffered because of their sins. They suffered because they wouldn’t obey the LORD.18They refused to eat anything. They came close to passing through the gates of death.19Then they cried out to the LORD because of their problems. And he saved them from their troubles.20He gave his command and healed them. He saved them from the grave.21Let them give thanks to the LORD for his faithful love. Let them give thanks for the wonderful things he does for people.22Let them sacrifice thank-offerings. Let them talk about what he has done as they sing with joy.23Some people sailed out on the ocean in ships. They traded goods on the mighty waters.24They saw the works of the LORD. They saw the wonderful deeds he did on the ocean.25He spoke and stirred up a storm. It lifted the waves high.26They rose up to the heavens. Then they went down deep into the ocean. In that kind of danger the people’s boldness melted away.27They were unsteady like people who have become drunk. They didn’t know what to do.28Then they cried out to the LORD because of their problems. And he brought them out of their troubles.29He made the storm as quiet as a whisper. The waves of the ocean calmed down.30The people were glad when the ocean became calm. Then he guided them to the harbour they were looking for.31Let them give thanks to the LORD for his faithful love. Let them give thanks for the wonderful things he does for people.32Let them honour him among his people who gather for worship. Let them praise him in the meeting of the elders.33He turned rivers into a desert. He turned flowing springs into thirsty ground.34He turned land that produced crops into a salty land where nothing could grow. He did it because the people who lived there were evil.35He turned the desert into pools of water. He turned the dry and cracked ground into flowing springs.36He brought hungry people there to live. They built a city where they could make their homes.37They planted fields and vineyards that produced large crops.38He blessed the people, and they greatly increased their numbers. He kept their herds from getting smaller.39Then the number of God’s people got smaller. They were made humble by trouble, suffering and sorrow.40The God who looks down on proud nobles made them wander in a desert where no one lives.41But he lifted needy people out of their suffering. He made their families increase like flocks of sheep.42Honest people see it and are filled with joy. But no one who is evil has anything to say.43Let those who are wise pay attention to these things. Let them think about the loving deeds of the LORD.

La grazia divina in favore dei riscattati
1Celebrate il Signore, perché egli è buono, perché la sua bontà dura in eterno!2Così dicano i riscattati del Signore, che egli liberò dalla mano dell’avversario3e riunì da tutti i paesi, da oriente e da occidente, da settentrione e da mezzogiorno.4Essi vagavano nel deserto per vie desolate; non trovavano città dove poter abitare.5Soffrivano la fame e la sete, l’anima veniva meno in loro.6Ma nella loro angoscia gridarono al Signore ed egli li liberò dalle loro tribolazioni.7Li condusse per la retta via, perché giungessero a una città da abitare.8Celebrino il Signore per la sua bontà e per i suoi prodigi in favore degli uomini!9Poiché egli ha ristorato l’anima assetata e ha colmato di beni l’anima affamata.10Altri dimoravano in tenebre e in ombra di morte, prigionieri nell’afflizione e nelle catene,11perché si erano ribellati alle parole di Dio e avevano disprezzato gli avvertimenti dell’Altissimo;12perciò egli umiliò i loro cuori nella sofferenza; essi caddero, e nessuno li soccorse.13Gridarono al Signore nella loro angoscia ed egli li salvò dalle loro tribolazioni;14li fece uscire dalle tenebre e dall’ombra di morte, spezzò le loro catene.15Celebrino il Signore per la sua bontà e per i suoi prodigi in favore degli uomini!16Poiché egli ha sfondato porte di bronzo e ha spezzato sbarre di ferro.17Soffrivano, gli stolti, per il loro comportamento ribelle e per le proprie colpe;18l’anima loro rifiutava qualsiasi cibo ed erano giunti fino alle soglie della morte.19Nell’angoscia gridarono al Signore ed egli li liberò dalle loro tribolazioni.20Mandò la sua parola e li guarì, li salvò dalla morte.21Celebrino il Signore per la sua bontà e per i suoi prodigi in favore degli uomini!22Offrano sacrifici di lode e raccontino le sue opere con gioia!23Quelli che solcano il mare su navi e trafficano sulle grandi acque,24vedono le opere del Signore e le sue meraviglie negli abissi marini.25Egli comanda, e fa soffiare la tempesta che solleva le onde.26Salgono al cielo, scendono negli abissi; l’anima loro vien meno per l’angoscia.27Traballano, barcollano come ubriachi e tutta la loro abilità svanisce.28Ma nell’angoscia gridano al Signore ed egli li libera dalle loro tribolazioni.29Egli riduce la tempesta al silenzio e le onde del mare si calmano.30Si rallegrano alla vista delle acque calme ed egli li conduce al porto tanto sospirato.31Celebrino il Signore per la sua bontà e per i suoi prodigi in favore degli uomini.32Lo esaltino nell’assemblea del popolo e lo lodino nel consiglio degli anziani!33Egli muta i fiumi in deserto e le fonti d’acqua in luoghi aridi;34la terra fertile in pianura di sale, per la malvagità dei suoi abitanti.35Egli muta il deserto in lago e la terra arida in fonti d’acqua.36Là fa risiedere gli affamati ed essi fondano una città da abitare.37Vi seminano campi e vi piantano vigne e ne raccolgono frutti abbondanti.38Egli li benedice perché crescano di numero e non lascia diminuire il loro bestiame.39Ma poi, ridotti a pochi, sono umiliati per l’oppressione, per l’avversità e gli affanni.40Egli getta il disprezzo sui potenti e li fa errare per deserti senza strade;41ma solleva il povero dalla miseria e rende le famiglie numerose come greggi.42Gli uomini retti lo vedono, si rallegrano e ogni malvagio ha la bocca chiusa.43Chi è saggio osservi queste cose e consideri la bontà del Signore.
