|
|
\q
|

|
\v 3 He has gathered them out of foreign lands,

\q from the east and from the west,

\q
|

|

\v 4 They wandered in the wilderness on a desert road
|
|||
|
|
\q and found no city in which to live.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 5 Because they were hungry and thirsty,
|
|||
|
|
\q they fainted from exhaustion.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 6 Then they called out to Yahweh in their trouble,

\q and he rescued them out of their distress.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
\q and the desires of those who are hungry he fills up with good things.
|

\b
|

\q
|

|
|
\v 10 Some sat in darkness and in gloom,
|
|||
|
|
\q prisoners in affliction and chains.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 11 This was because they had rebelled against God's word
|
|||
|
|
\q and rejected the instruction of the Most High.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 12 He humbled their hearts through hardship;
|
|||
|
|
\q they stumbled and there was no one to help them up.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 13 Then they called out to Yahweh in their trouble,
|
|||
|
|
\q and he brought them out of their distress.

|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 15 Oh that people would praise Yahweh for his covenant faithfulness
|
|||
|
|
\q and for the amazing things he has done for humanity!
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 16 For he has broken the gates of bronze
|
|||
|
|
\q and cut through the bars of iron.

\s5
|

|
|
\q
|

|
|||
|
|
\q and afflicted because of their sins.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 18 They lost their desire to eat any food,
|
|||
|
|
\q and they came close to the gates of death.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 19 Then they called out to Yahweh in their trouble,
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
\q
|

\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 26 They reached up to the sky; they went down to the depths.
|
|||
|
|
\q Their lives melted away in distress.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 27 They swayed and staggered like drunkards
|
|||
|
|
\q and were at their wits’ end.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 28 Then they called out to Yahweh in their trouble,
|
|||
|
|
\q and he brought them out of their distress.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 29 He calmed the storm,
|
|||
|
|
\q and the waves were stilled.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 30 Then they rejoiced because the sea was calm,
|
|||
|
|
\q and he brought them to their desired harbor.
|
|||
|
|

|
|
\s5

|
|
\q
|
|||

|
|||
|
|
\q and praise him in the council of the elders.
|

\b
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 33 He turns rivers into a wilderness,
|
|||
|
|
\q springs of water into dry land,
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 34 and a fruitful land into a barren place
|
|||
|
|
\q because of the wickedness of its people.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 35 He turns the wilderness into a pool of water
|
|||
|
|
\q and dry land into springs of water.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 36 He settles the hungry there,
|
|||
|
|
\q and they build a city to live in.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 37 They build a city to plant fields in, to plant vineyards,
|
|||
|
|
\q and to bring in an abundant harvest.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 38 He blesses them so they are very numerous.
|
|||
|

\s5
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 39 They were diminished and brought low
|
|||
|
|
\q by painful distress and suffering.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 40 He pours contempt on the leaders
|
|||
|
|
\q and causes them to wander in the wilderness, where there are no roads.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 41 But he protects the needy from affliction
|
|||
|
|
\q and cares for his families like a flock.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 42 The upright will see this and rejoice,
|
|||
|
|
\q and all wickedness shuts its mouth.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 43 Whoever is wise should take note of these things
|
|||
|
|
\q and meditate on Yahweh's acts of covenant faithfulness.
