107:1 「恵み深い主に感謝せよ／慈しみはとこしえに」と

107:2 主に贖われた人々は唱えよ。主は苦しめる者の手から彼らを贖い

107:3 国々の中から集めてくださった／東から西から、北から南から。

107:4 彼らは、荒れ野で迷い／砂漠で人の住む町への道を見失った。

107:5 飢え、渇き、魂は衰え果てた。

107:6 苦難の中から主に助けを求めて叫ぶと／主は彼らを苦しみから救ってくださった。

107:7 主はまっすぐな道に彼らを導き／人の住む町に向かわせてくださった。

107:8 主に感謝せよ。主は慈しみ深く／人の子らに驚くべき御業を成し遂げられる。

107:9 主は渇いた魂を飽かせ／飢えた魂を良いもので満たしてくださった。

107:10 彼らは、闇と死の陰に座る者／貧苦と鉄の枷が締めつける捕われ人となった。

107:11 神の仰せに反抗し／いと高き神の御計らいを侮ったからだ。

107:12 主は労苦を通して彼らの心を挫かれた。彼らは倒れ、助ける者はなかった。

107:13 苦難の中から主に助けを求めて叫ぶと／主は彼らの苦しみに救いを与えられた。

107:14 闇と死の陰から彼らを導き出し／束縛するものを断ってくださった。

107:15 主に感謝せよ。主は慈しみ深く／人の子らに驚くべき御業を成し遂げられる。

107:16 主は青銅の扉を破り／鉄のかんぬきを砕いてくださった。

107:17 彼らは、無知であり、背きと罪の道のために／屈従する身になった。

107:18 どの食べ物も彼らの喉には忌むべきもので／彼らは死の門に近づいた。

107:19 苦難の中から主に助けを求めて叫ぶと／主は彼らの苦しみに救いを与えられた。

107:20 主は御言葉を遣わして彼らを癒し／破滅から彼らを救い出された。

107:21 主に感謝せよ。主は慈しみ深く／人の子らに驚くべき御業を成し遂げられる。

107:22 感謝のいけにえをささげ／御業を語り伝え、喜び歌え。

107:23 彼らは、海に船を出し／大海を渡って商う者となった。

107:24 彼らは深い淵で主の御業を／驚くべき御業を見た。

107:25 主は仰せによって嵐を起こし／波を高くされたので

107:26 彼らは天に上り、深淵に下り／苦難に魂は溶け

107:27 酔った人のようによろめき、揺らぎ／どのような知恵も呑み込まれてしまった。

107:28 苦難の中から主に助けを求めて叫ぶと／主は彼らを苦しみから導き出された。

107:29 主は嵐に働きかけて沈黙させられたので／波はおさまった。

107:30 彼らは波が静まったので喜び祝い／望みの港に導かれて行った。

107:31 主に感謝せよ。主は慈しみ深く／人の子らに驚くべき御業を成し遂げられる。

107:32 民の集会で主をあがめよ。長老の集いで主を賛美せよ。

107:33 主は大河を荒れ野とし／水の源を乾いた地とし

107:34 住む者の悪事のために／実り豊かな地を塩地とされた。

107:35 主は荒れ野を湖とし／砂漠を水の源とし

107:36 飢えていた人々をそこに住まわせ／人の住む町を固く立てられた。

107:37 彼らは野に種を蒔き、ぶどう畑を作り／作物を実らせた。

107:38 主が祝福されたので彼らは限りなく増え／家畜も減らされることはなかった。

107:39 不毛、災厄、嘆きによって／彼らは減って行き、屈み込んだ。

107:40 主は貴族らの上に辱めを浴びせ／道もない混沌に迷い込ませられたが

107:41 乏しい人はその貧苦から高く上げ／羊の群れのような大家族とされた。

107:42 正しい人はこれを見て喜び祝い／不正を行う者は口を閉ざす。

107:43 知恵ある人は皆、これらのことを心に納め／主の慈しみに目を注ぐがよい。

ＴＥＶ 詩  107:1-43

107:1 "Give thanks to the Lord, because he is good; /his love is eternal!"

107:2 Repeat these words in praise to the Lord, /all you whom he has saved. /He has rescued you from your enemies

107:3 and has brought you back from foreign countries, /from east and west, from north and south.

107:4 Some wandered in the trackless desert /and could not find their way to a city to live in.

107:5 They were hungry and thirsty /and had given up all hope.

107:6 Then in their trouble they called to the Lord, /and he saved them from their distress.

107:7 He led them by a straight road /to a city where they could live.

107:8 They must thank the Lord for his constant love, /for the wonderful things he did for them.

107:9 He satisfies those who are thirsty /and fills the hungry with good things.

107:10 Some were living in gloom and darkness, /prisoners suffering in chains,

107:11 because they had rebelled against the commands of Almighty God /and had rejected his instructions.

107:12 They were worn out from hard work; /they would fall down, and no one would help.

107:13 Then in their trouble they called to the Lord, /and he saved them from their distress.

107:14 He brought them out of their gloom and darkness /and broke their chains in pieces.

107:15 They must thank the Lord for his constant love, /for the wonderful things he did for them.

107:16 He breaks down doors of bronze /and smashes iron bars.

107:17 Some were fools, suffering because of their sins /and because of their evil;

107:18 they couldn't stand the sight of food /and were close to death.

107:19 Then in their trouble they called to the Lord, /and he saved them from their distress.

107:20 He healed them with his command /and saved them from the grave.

107:21 They must thank the Lord for his constant love, /for the wonderful things he did for them.

107:22 They must thank him with sacrifices, /and with songs of joy must tell all that he has done.

107:23 Some sailed over the ocean in ships, /earning their living on the seas.

107:24 They saw what the Lord can do, /his wonderful acts on the seas.

107:25 He commanded, and a mighty wind began to blow /and stirred up the waves.

107:26 The ships were lifted high in the air /and plunged down into the depths. /In such danger the sailors lost their courage;

107:27 they stumbled and staggered like drunks- /all their skill was useless.

107:28 Then in their trouble they called to the Lord, /and he saved them from their distress.

107:29 He calmed the raging storm, /and the waves became quiet.

107:30 They were glad because of the calm, /and he brought them safe to the port they wanted.

107:31 They must thank the Lord for his constant love, /for the wonderful things he did for them.

107:32 They must proclaim his greatness in the assembly of the people /and praise him before the council of the leaders.

107:33 The Lord made rivers dry up completely /and stopped springs from flowing.

107:34 He made rich soil become a salty wasteland /because of the wickedness of those who lived there.

107:35 He changed deserts into pools of water /and dry land into flowing springs.

107:36 He let hungry people settle there, /and they built a city to live in.

107:37 They sowed the fields and planted grapevines /and reaped an abundant harvest.

107:38 He blessed his people, and they had many children; /he kept their herds of cattle from decreasing.

107:39 When God's people were defeated and humiliated /by cruel oppression and suffering,

107:40 he showed contempt for their oppressors /and made them wander in trackless deserts.

107:41 But he rescued the needy from their misery /and made their families increase like flocks.

107:42 The righteous see this and are glad, /but all the wicked are put to silence.

107:43 May those who are wise think about these things; /may they consider the Lord's constant love.
