1¡Alabad a YHVH, porque Él es bueno, Porque para siempre es su misericordia!2Díganlo los redimidos de YHVH, Los que ha redimido del poder del enemigo,3Y los ha congregado de las tierras, Del oriente y del occidente, Del Aquilón y del mar.4Deambularon por un desierto solitario y sin camino, Sin hallar ciudad donde vivir,5Hambrientos y sedientos, Su alma desfallecía en ellos.6Pero clamaron a YHVH en su angustia, Y los libró de su tribulación.7Los condujo por un camino llano, Para que dieran con una ciudad habitable.8¡Den gracias a YHVH por su misericordia, Y por sus maravillas para con los hijos del hombre!9Porque Él sacia al alma sedienta, Y colma de bienes al alma hambrienta.10Moraban en tinieblas y sombra de muerte, Aprisionados en aflicción y en cadenas,11Por cuanto fueron rebeldes a las palabras de ’El, Y aborrecieron el consejo de ’Elyón.12Por eso humilló sus corazones con duros trabajos, Tropezaron, y no hubo quien ayudara.13Pero en su angustia clamaron a YHVH, Y los libró de su tribulación;14Los sacó de las tinieblas y de la sombra de muerte, Y desligó sus ataduras.15¡Den gracias a YHVH por su misericordia Y por sus maravillas para con los hijos del hombre!16Porque quebró las puertas de bronce, Y arrancó los cerrojos de hierro.17Andaban afligidos por sus rebeliones, Ayunando por sus maldades,18Aborrecieron todo manjar, Y ya tocaban las puertas de la muerte,19Pero clamaron a YHVH en su angustia, Y Él los libró de su tribulación;20Envió su palabra y los sanó, Y los libró del sepulcro.21¡Den gracias a YHVH por su misericordia, Y por sus maravillas para con los hijos del hombre!22Y ofrezcan sacrificios de acción de gracias, Y publiquen sus obras con cánticos de júbilo.23Se adentraron en naves por el mar, Para traficar en las inmensas aguas,24Contemplando las obras de YHVH, Sus maravillas en lo profundo.25Mandó alzarse un viento tempestuoso, Que encrespó el oleaje.26Subían a los cielos, bajaban al abismo, Sus almas revueltas por las náuseas,27Rodaban y se tambaleaban como ebrios, De nada les valía su pericia.28Pero clamaron a YHVH en su angustia, Y los libró de su tribulación.29Hizo acallar la tormenta, Enmudeció el oleaje,30Se alegraron de la bonanza; Los condujo al puerto que anhelaban.31¡Den gracias a YHVH por su misericordia, Y por sus maravillas para con los hijos del hombre!32Exáltenlo en la congregación del pueblo, Y alábenlo en la reunión de los ancianos.33Convierte ríos en un desierto, Y los manantiales en sequedales,34La tierra fértil en estéril, Por la maldad de quienes la habitan.35Vuelve el desierto en estanques, Y la tierra seca en manantiales,36Allí asienta a los hambrientos, Para que tengan ciudad habitable,37Siembren campos y planten viñas, Que den fruto en la cosecha.38Los bendice, y se multiplican, Y no deja que disminuya su ganado.39Cuando abatidos por la carga, menguan, A causa de infortunios y congojas,40Él esparce menosprecio sobre los nobles, Y los descarría por un yermo sin camino.41Levanta al pobre de la miseria, Y multiplica sus familias como rebaños.42Los rectos lo verán y se alegrarán, Y la iniquidad tendrá que cerrar su boca.43Aquel que sea sabio y guarde estas cosas, Entenderá la gran misericordia de YHVH.
Salmo 107
King James Version
1O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.2Let the redeemed of the LORD say so , whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;3And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.4They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.5Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.6Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.7And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.8Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!9For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.10Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;11Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:12Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.13Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.15Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!16For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.17Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.18Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.19Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.20He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.21Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!22And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.23They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;24These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.25For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.26They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.27They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits'end.28Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.29He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.30Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.31Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!32Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.33He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;34A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.35He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.36And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;37And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.38He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.39Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.40He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.41Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.42The righteous shall see it , and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.43Whoso is wise, and will observe these things , even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
