Salmos, 107

1. Cântico. Salmo de Davi.*

1. O give thanks unto the LORD, for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] 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 hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

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

3. And gathered them out of 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. They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no 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 in them.

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

6. Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he delivered them out of their distresses.

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

7. And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

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

8. Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children 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 satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

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

10. Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, [being] bound in affliction and iron;

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

11. Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:

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

12. Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and [there was] none to help.

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

13. Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he saved them out of their distresses.

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

14. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.

15.

15. Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!

16.

16. For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

17.

17. Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

18.

18. Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.

19.

19. Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he saveth them out of their distresses.

20.

20. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered [them] from their destructions.

21.

21. Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!

22.

22. And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.

23.

23. They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;

24.

24. These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.

25.

25. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.

26.

26. They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

27.

27. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.

28.

28. Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.

29.

29. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

30.

30. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

31.

31. Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!

32.

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

33.

33. He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;

34.

34. A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

35.

35. He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.

36.

36. And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;

37.

37. And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.

38.

38. He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

39.

39. Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

40.

40. He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, [where there is] no way.

41.

41. Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh [him] families like a flock.

42.

42. The righteous shall see [it], and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

43.

43. Whoso [is] wise, and will observe these [things], even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
