Psa 107:1 Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!
Psa 107:2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble
Psa 107:3 and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
Psa 107:4 Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in;
Psa 107:5 hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them.
Psa 107:6 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.
Psa 107:7 He led them by a straight way till they reached a city to dwell in.
Psa 107:8 Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of men!
Psa 107:9 For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things.
Psa 107:10 Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and in irons,
Psa 107:11 for they had rebelled against the words of God, and spurned the counsel of the Most High.
Psa 107:12 So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor; they fell down, with none to help.
Psa 107:13 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.
Psa 107:14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart.
Psa 107:15 Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of men!
Psa 107:16 For he shatters the doors of bronze and cuts in two the bars of iron.
Psa 107:17 Some were fools through their sinful ways, and because of their iniquities suffered affliction;
Psa 107:18 they loathed any kind of food, and they drew near to the gates of death.
Psa 107:19 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.
Psa 107:20 He sent out his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction.
Psa 107:21 Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of men!
Psa 107:22 And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, and tell of his deeds in songs of joy!
Psa 107:23 Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters;
Psa 107:24 they saw the deeds of the LORD, his wondrous works in the deep.
Psa 107:25 For he commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea.
Psa 107:26 They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their evil plight;
Psa 107:27 they reeled and staggered like drunken men and were at their wits' end.
Psa 107:28 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.
Psa 107:29 He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed.
Psa 107:30 Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven.
Psa 107:31 Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of men!
Psa 107:32 Let them extol him in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
Psa 107:33 He turns rivers into a desert, springs of water into thirsty ground,
Psa 107:34 a fruitful land into a salty waste, because of the evil of its inhabitants.
Psa 107:35 He turns a desert into pools of water, a parched land into springs of water.
Psa 107:36 And there he lets the hungry dwell, and they establish a city to live in;
Psa 107:37 they sow fields and plant vineyards and get a fruitful yield.
Psa 107:38 By his blessing they multiply greatly, and he does not let their livestock diminish.
Psa 107:39 When they are diminished and brought low through oppression, evil, and sorrow,
Psa 107:40 he pours contempt on princes and makes them wander in trackless wastes;
Psa 107:41 but he raises up the needy out of affliction and makes their families like flocks.
Psa 107:42 The upright see it and are glad, and all wickedness shuts its mouth.
Psa 107:43 Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things; let them consider the steadfast love of the LORD.
