The Key Word — הִ֭שְׂבִּיעַ, His.bi.a'generated
The verb שָׂבֵעַ (saba`) means to satisfy or fill, particularly in relation to hunger. It conveys the idea of fulfilling desires or needs, often in a literal sense of food but also in a broader spiritual context.
This form is the Hiphil perfect, indicating a completed action where God actively satisfies those who seek Him. The focus here is on God's provision, emphasizing that He not only meets physical needs but also addresses spiritual thirst.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb, הִ֭שְׂבִּיעַ, He satisfies, governs the sentence, with two noun phrases acting as objects: נֶ֣פֶשׁ שֹׁקֵקָ֑ה (a thirsty soul) and נֶ֥פֶשׁ רְ֝עֵבָה (a hungry soul). This structure highlights God's action in relation to those in need.
The Hebrew word order places emphasis on the verbs, showing that God's satisfying action is central to the verse. Each object describes a different state of need, illustrating the breadth of God's provision.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates הִ֭שְׂבִּיעַ as ἐξόρτασεν, which means 'to supply' or 'to feed'. This choice reflects a focus on the act of providing sustenance, aligning with the overall theme of God's generosity.
The translation of נֶ֣פֶשׁ as ψυξὴν emphasizes the life-giving aspect of God's provision, linking both physical and spiritual nourishment.

Read AdamClarke on Psalms 107 →CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges9. Because he satisfied the longing soul, And the hungry soul he filled with good. The words refer to the particular case of those who were perishing with hunger and thirst, and do not, primarily at any rate, express a general truth, as the A.V. suggests. The language is derived from Jeremiah 31:25; Isaiah 29:8 (A.V. ‘his soul hath appetite’); Psalms 58:10-11; and Luke 1:53 is a reminiscence of this verse.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text states, "For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things," which is closely matched by the Septuagint, although the Greek translation may have different word order. The Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q88) contain fragments that align with the Masoretic Text, but only partially preserve the text, indicating agreement in the themes of thirst and hunger, though some words are restored or supplied by an editor. Overall, the primary witnesses agree on the core message of divine provision for those in need.
כִּי־ הִ֭שְׂבִּיעַ נֶ֣פֶשׁ שֹׁקֵקָ֑ה וְנֶ֥פֶשׁ רְ֝עֵבָה מִלֵּא־ טֽוֹב׃
8 of the 8 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.
[כי] [השביע] [נפש] רעבה [ונפש] שקקה מלא [טוב]
1 word on the leather — 2 partly restored, 5 supplied entire by an editor.
Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript. Words in [square brackets] are supplied; the notes count them apart from what survives.
