MESSAGE OF THE DAY:

PSALM 107, Fourth section ...

1. English - (New English Translation)

[Psalm 107:35-43]

35. As for His people, He turned a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into springs of water. 

36. He allowed the hungry to settle there, and they established a city in which to live. 

37. They cultivated fields, and planted vineyards, which yielded a harvest of fruit. 

38. He blessed them so that they became very numerous. He would not allow their cattle to decrees in number. 

39. As for their enemies, they decreased in number and were beaten down, because of painful distress and suffering. 

40. He would pour contempt on princes and He made them wander in a wasteland with no road.  

41. Yet He protected the needy from oppression, and cared for his families like a flock of sheep. 

42. When the godly see this, they rejoice, and every sinner shuts his mouth. 

43. Whoever is wise, let him take note of these things! Let them consider the Lord's acts of loyal love!

BOODSKAP VAN DIE DAG:

PSALM 107, Vierde gedeelte ...

2. Afrikaans - (Ou Afrikaanse Vertaling).

[Psalm 107:35-43]

35. Hy het die woestyn 'n waterplas gemaak en die dor land waterfonteine;

36. En Hy het die hongeriges daar laat bly, en hulle het 'n stad gestig om in te woon. 

37. En hulle het hul lande gesaai en wingerde geplant wat vrugte as opbrings verskaf het. 

38. En Hy het hulle geseën, sodat hulle sterk vermenigvuldig het. 

39. Toe het hulle min geword en weggesink deur die druk van onheil en kommer -

40. Hy wat veragting uitstort oor edeles en hulle laat dwaal in 'n woeste wêreld, sonder pad - 

41. Hy het die behoeftige beskerm teen verdrukking en die geslagte soos kuddes gemaak. 

42. Die opregtes sien dit en is bly, maar alle ongeregtigheid maak sy mond toe. 

43. Wie wys is, laat hy op hierdie dinge ag gee, en laat hulle let op die goedertierenhede van die Here.
