Psm107:1 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
Psm107:2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary
Psm107:3 And gathered from the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.
Psm107:4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desert region; They did not find a way to an inhabited city.
Psm107:5 They were hungry and thirsty; Their soul fainted within them.
Psm107:6 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; He delivered them out of their distresses.
Psm107:7 He led them also by a straight way, To go to an inhabited city.
Psm107:8 Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!
Psm107:9 For He has satisfied the thirsty soul, And the hungry soul He has filled with what is good.
Psm107:10 There were those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death, Prisoners in misery and chains,
Psm107:11 Because they had rebelled against the words of God And spurned the counsel of the Most High.
Psm107:12 Therefore He humbled their heart with labor; They stumbled and there was none to help.
Psm107:13 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses.
Psm107:14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death And broke their bands apart.
Psm107:15 Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!
Psm107:16 For He has shattered gates of bronze And cut bars of iron asunder.
Psm107:17 Fools, because of their rebellious way, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.
Psm107:18 Their soul abhorred all kinds of food, And they drew near to the gates of death.
Psm107:19 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses.
Psm107:20 He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.
Psm107:21 Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!
Psm107:22 Let them also offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, And tell of His works with joyful singing.
Psm107:23 Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business on great waters;
Psm107:24 They have seen the works of the Lord, And His wonders in the deep.
Psm107:25 For He spoke and raised up a stormy wind, Which lifted up the waves of the sea.
Psm107:26 They rose up to the heavens, they went down to the depths; Their soul melted away in their misery.
Psm107:27 They reeled and staggered like a drunken man, And were at their wits' end.
Psm107:28 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, And He brought them out of their distresses.
Psm107:29 He caused the storm to be still, So that the waves of the sea were hushed.
Psm107:30 Then they were glad because they were quiet, So He guided them to their desired haven.
Psm107:31 Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!
Psm107:32 Let them extol Him also in the congregation of the people, And praise Him at the seat of the elders.
Psm107:33 He changes rivers into a wilderness And springs of water into a thirsty ground;
Psm107:34 A fruitful land into a salt waste, Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
Psm107:35 He changes a wilderness into a pool of water And a dry land into springs of water;
Psm107:36 And there He makes the hungry to dwell, So that they may establish an inhabited city,
Psm107:37 And sow fields and plant vineyards, And gather a fruitful harvest.
Psm107:38 Also He blesses them and they multiply greatly, And He does not let their cattle decrease.
Psm107:39 When they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, misery and sorrow,
Psm107:40 He pours contempt upon princes And makes them wander in a pathless waste.
Psm107:41 But He sets the needy securely on high away from affliction, And makes his families like a flock.
Psm107:42 The upright see it and are glad; But all unrighteousness shuts its mouth.
Psm107:43 Who is wise? Let him give heed to these things, And consider the lovingkindnesses of the Lord.
