Salmos, 107

1. Cântico. Salmo de Davi.*

1. O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures for ever!

2. Meu coração está firme, ó Deus, meu coração está firme; vou cantar e salmodiar. Desperta-te, ó minha alma;

2. Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble

3. despertai-vos, harpa e cítara; quero acordar a aurora.

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

4. Entre os povos, Senhor, vos louvarei; salmodiarei a vós entre as nações,

4. Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in;

5. porque acima do céu se eleva a vossa misericórdia, e até as nuvens a vossa fidelidade.

5. hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them.

6. Resplandecei, ó Deus, nas alturas do céu, e brilhe a vossa glória sobre a terra inteira.

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

7. Para ficarem livres vossos amigos, ajudai-nos com vossa mão, ouvi-nos.

7. he led them by a straight way, till they reached a city to dwell in.

8. Deus falou no seu santuário: “Triunfarei, e me apoderarei de Siquém, medirei com o cordel o vale de Sucot.

8. Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wonderful works to the sons of men!

9. Minha é a terra de Galaad, minha a de Manassés; Efraim será o elmo de minha cabeça; Judá, o meu cetro;

9. For he satisfies him who is thirsty, and the hungry he fills with good things.

10. Moab, a bacia em que me lavo. Sobre Edom porei minhas sandálias, cantarei vitória sobre a Filisteia”.

10. Some sat in darkness and in gloom, prisoners in affliction and in irons,

11. Quem me conduzirá à cidade fortificada? Quem me levará até Edom?

11. for they had rebelled against the words of God, and spurned the counsel of the Most High.

12. Quem, senão vós, Senhor, que nos repelistes, e já não andais à frente dos nossos exércitos?

12. Their hearts were bowed down with hard labor; they fell down, with none to help.

13. Dai-nos auxílio contra o inimigo, porque é vão qualquer socorro humano.

13. Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress;

14. Com Deus faremos proezas: ele esmagará os nossos inimigos.

14. he brought them out of darkness and gloom, and broke their bonds asunder.

15.

15. Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wonderful works to the sons of men!

16.

16. For he shatters the doors of bronze, and cuts in two the bars of iron.

17.

17. Some were sick through their sinful ways, and because of their iniquities suffered affliction;

18.

18. they loathed any kind of food, and they drew near to the gates of death.

19.

19. Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress;

20.

20. he sent forth his word, and healed them, and delivered them from destruction.

21.

21. Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wonderful works to the sons of men!

22.

22. And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, and tell of his deeds in songs of joy!

23.

23. Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters;

24.

24. they saw the deeds of the LORD, his wondrous works in the deep.

25.

25. For he commanded, and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea.

26.

26. They mounted up to heaven, they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their evil plight;

27.

27. they reeled and staggered like drunken men, and were at their wits' end.

28.

28. Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress;

29.

29. he made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed.

30.

30. Then they were glad because they had quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven.

31.

31. Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wonderful works to the sons of men!

32.

32. Let them extol him in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

33.

33. He turns rivers into a desert, springs of water into thirsty ground,

34.

34. a fruitful land into a salty waste, because of the wickedness of its inhabitants.

35.

35. He turns a desert into pools of water, a parched land into springs of water.

36.

36. And there he lets the hungry dwell, and they establish a city to live in;

37.

37. they sow fields, and plant vineyards, and get a fruitful yield.

38.

38. By his blessing they multiply greatly; and he does not let their cattle decrease.

39.

39. When they are diminished and brought low through oppression, trouble, and sorrow,

40.

40. he pours contempt upon princes and makes them wander in trackless wastes;

41.

41. but he raises up the needy out of affliction, and makes their families like flocks.

42.

42. The upright see it and are glad; and all wickedness stops its mouth.

43.

43. Whoever is wise, let him give heed to these things; let men consider the steadfast love of the LORD.
