Psalms 107:8-9

107:8 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his loyal love,

and for the amazing things he has done for people! ¹ 

107:9 For he has satisfied those who thirst, ² 

and those who hunger he has filled with food. ³ 

[107:8]  ¹ tn Heb “and [for] his amazing deeds for the sons of man.”

[107:9]  ² 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 נֶפֱשׁ רְעֵבָה, nefesh rÿ’evah, “hungry throat”).

[107:9]  ³ tn Heb “and [the] hungry throat he has filled [with] good.”
