Psalms 107

1 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.

1 你们要称谢耶和华， 因为祂是美善的； 祂的慈爱永远长存。

2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy

2–3 耶和华救赎的人， 就是祂从敌人手中救赎出来， 从东西南北各个地方招聚的人， 都要称谢祂。

3 and gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south.

4 Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no path to a city in which to dwell.

4 他们在旷野中飘泊，居无定所，

5 They were hungry and thirsty; their soul fainted within them.

5 又饥又渴，精疲力竭。

6 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress.

6 他们在患难中呼求耶和华， 祂便救他们脱离困境，

7 He led them on a straight path to reach a city where they could live.

7 带领他们走直路， 到可居住的城邑。

8 Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.

8 他们要称谢耶和华的慈爱， 称谢祂为世人所行的奇事。

9 For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.

9 因为祂满足干渴的人， 以美食喂饱饥饿的人。

10 Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and chains,

10 有些人坐在黑暗里， 在死亡的阴影下， 被铁链捆绑， 痛苦不堪，

11 because they rebelled against the words of God and despised the counsel of the Most High.

11 因为他们违背上帝的话， 藐视至高者的旨意。

12 He humbled their hearts with hard labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help.

12 所以上帝使他们服苦役， 他们跌倒也无人扶助。

13 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress.

13 于是，他们在患难中呼求耶和华， 祂便救他们脱离困境。

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

14 祂带领他们脱离黑暗和死亡的阴影， 断开他们的锁链。

15 Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.

15 他们要称谢耶和华的慈爱， 称谢祂为世人所行的奇事。

16 For He has broken down the gates of bronze and cut through the bars of iron.

16 因为祂打碎了铜门， 砍断了铁闩。

17 Fools, in their rebellious ways, and through their iniquities, suffered affliction.

17 有些人因自己的悖逆而愚顽， 因自己的罪过而受苦，

18 They loathed all food and drew near to the gates of death.

18 食欲全消，几近死亡。

19 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress.

19 于是，他们在患难中呼求耶和华， 祂便救他们脱离困境。

20 He sent forth His word and healed them; He rescued them from the Pit.

20 祂一发令，就医治了他们， 救他们脱离死亡。

21 Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.

21 他们要称谢耶和华的慈爱， 称谢祂为世人所行的奇事。

22 Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and declare His works with rejoicing.

22 他们要向祂献上感恩祭， 欢然歌颂祂的作为。

23 Others went out to sea in ships, conducting trade on the mighty waters.

23 有些人乘船在汪洋大海上经商，

24 They saw the works of the LORD, and His wonders in the deep.

24 他们看见了耶和华的作为， 看见了祂在深海所行的奇事。

25 For He spoke and raised a tempest that lifted the waves of the sea.

25 祂一声令下， 狂风大作，巨浪滔天。

26 They mounted up to the heavens, then sunk to the depths; their courage melted in their anguish.

26 他们的船只忽而被抛向半空， 忽而落入深渊， 他们吓得胆战心惊，

27 They reeled and staggered like drunkards, and all their skill was useless.

27 东倒西歪，如同醉汉， 束手无策。

28 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distress.

28 于是，他们在患难中呼求耶和华， 祂便救他们脱离困境。

29 He calmed the storm to a whisper, and the waves of the sea were hushed.

29 祂使狂风止息，海浪平静。

30 They rejoiced in the silence, and He guided them to the harbor they desired.

30 他们因风平浪静而欢喜， 祂带领他们到所向往的港湾。

31 Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.

31 他们要称谢耶和华的慈爱， 称谢祂为世人所行的奇事。

32 Let them exalt Him in the assembly of the people and praise Him in the council of the elders.

32 他们要在众人面前尊崇祂， 在长老的聚会中赞美祂。

33 He turns rivers into deserts, springs of water into thirsty ground,

33 祂使江河变成荒漠， 水泉变成干地，

34 and fruitful land into fields of salt, because of the wickedness of its dwellers.

34 叫沃土变成荒凉的盐碱地， 因为那里的居民邪恶。

35 He turns a desert into pools of water and a dry land into flowing springs.

35 祂叫荒漠水塘遍布， 使旱地甘泉涌流。

36 He causes the hungry to settle there, that they may establish a city in which to dwell.

36 祂使饥饿的人住在那里， 建造可安居的城邑，

37 They sow fields and plant vineyards that yield a fruitful harvest.

37 耕种田地，栽植葡萄园， 收成丰硕。

38 He blesses them, and they multiply greatly; He does not let their herds diminish.

38 祂赐福给他们， 使他们人丁兴旺， 牲口有增无减。

39 When they are decreased and humbled by oppression, evil, and sorrow,

39 后来他们在压迫、患难和痛苦的煎熬下人口减少， 地位卑下。

40 He pours out contempt on the nobles and makes them wander in a trackless wasteland.

40 祂使贵族蒙羞受辱， 漂流在荒芜之地。

41 But He lifts the needy from affliction and increases their families like flocks.

41 但祂搭救贫苦的人脱离苦难， 使他们家族兴旺，多如羊群。

42 The upright see and rejoice, and all iniquity shuts its mouth.

42 正直人看见就欢喜， 邪恶人都哑口无言。

43 Let him who is wise pay heed to these things and consider the loving devotion of the LORD.

43 有智慧的人都要留心这些事， 他们要思想耶和华的慈爱。
