The Psalter According to the Seventy


Psalm 106

Alleluia.

O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.
2 So let them say that have been redeemed by the Lord, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy.
3 From the lands hath He gathered them, from the east, from the west, from the north, and from the sea.
4 They wandered in the wilderness, in a waterless land; they found not the path to a city of habitation.
5 Hungering and thirsting, their soul within them fainted.
6 And they cried unto the Lord in their affliction, and out of their distresses He delivered them.
7 And He guided them into the right way that they might go to a city for habitation.
8 Let them give thanks unto the Lord for His mercies, and for His wondrous works for the sons of men.
9 For He satisfied the empty soul, and the hungry soul hath He filled with good things.
10 As for them that sit in darkness and the shadow of death, fettered with beggary and iron,
11 Because they were embittered against the sayings of God and provoked the counsel of the Most High,
12 Yea, with labours was their heart brought low; they waxed feeble, and there was none to help.
13 And they cried unto the Lord in their affliction, and out of their distresses He saved them.
14 And He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and their bonds He brake asunder.
15 Let them give thanks unto the Lord for His mercies, and for His wondrous works for the sons of men.
16 For He shattered the gates of brass, and brake the bars of iron.
17 He helped them out of the way of their lawlessness; for on account of their iniquities had they been brought low.
18 All food did their soul abhor, and they drew nigh even unto the gates of death.
19 And they cried unto the Lord in their affliction, and out of their distresses He saved them.
20 He sent forth His Word and He healed them, and He delivered them from their corruption.
21 Let them give thanks unto the Lord for His mercies, and for His wondrous works for the sons of men.
22 And let them sacrifice to Him a sacrifice of praise, and let them proclaim His works with rejoicing.
23 They that go down to the sea in ships, doing their work in many waters,
24 These have seen the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep.
25 He spake, and a wind of tempest arose, and the waves thereof were lifted up.
26 They mount as high as the heavens, and they go down into the abysses; their soul was melted with evils.
27 They were troubled, and they reeled like one drunken, and all their wisdom was swallowed up.
28 And they cried unto the Lord in their affliction, and out of their distresses He brought them.
29 And He commanded the tempest, and it was calmed into a breeze, and the waves thereof fell silent.
30 And they were glad, because they were quiet, and He guided them to the haven of His will.
31 Let them give thanks unto the Lord for His mercies, and for His wondrous works for the sons of men.
32 Let them exalt Him in the assembly of the people, and in the seat of the elders let them praise Him.
33 He turned rivers into a wilderness, and the coursings of waters into a thirsting land,
34 A fruitful land into saltiness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35 He turned a wilderness into pools of waters, and a parched land into streams of water.
36 And He made the hungry to dwell therein, and they established cities for habitation.
37 And they sowed field and planted vineyards, and they made fruits of increase.
38 And He blessed them and they were multiplied greatly, and He diminished not the number of their cattle.
39 And again they became few and were brought low by affliction, evils, and sorrows.
40 Contempt was poured out upon their princes, and He caused them to wander in a land untrodden, where there is no way.
41 And He helped the poor man out of his poverty, and made his kindred like a flock.
42 The upright shall see it and shall be glad, and all iniquity shall stop its mouth.
43 Who is wise and will keep these things, and will understand the mercies of the Lord?
