New English Translation
Psalm 107:4-9
New English Translation
4 They wandered through the wilderness, in a wasteland;[a]
they found no road to a city in which to live.
5 They were hungry and thirsty;
they fainted from exhaustion.[b]
6 They cried out to the Lord in their distress;
he delivered them from their troubles.
7 He led them on a level road,[c]
that they might find a city in which to live.
8 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his loyal love,
and for the amazing things he has done for people.[d]
9 For he has satisfied those who thirst,[e]
and those who hunger he has filled with food.[f]
Footnotes
- Psalm 107:4 tc The MT divides the verse so the line ends “on a wasteland of a road.” The LXX divides the line before “road” as in the translation.
- Psalm 107:5 tn Heb “and their soul in them fainted.”
- Psalm 107:7 sn A level road. See Jer 31:9.
- Psalm 107:8 tn Heb “and [for] his amazing deeds for the sons of man.”
- Psalm 107:9 tn Heb “[the] longing throat.” The noun נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh), which frequently refers to one’s very being or soul, here probably refers to one’s parched “throat” (note the parallelism with נֶפֶשׁ רְעֵבָה, nefesh reʿevah, “hungry throat”).
- Psalm 107:9 tn Heb “and [the] hungry throat he has filled [with] good.”
