psa 107:1

  O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

psa 107:2

  Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

psa 107:3

  And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.

psa 107:4

  They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.

psa 107:5

  Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

psa 107:6

  Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

psa 107:7

  And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

psa 107:8

  Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

psa 107:9

  For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

psa 107:10

  Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;

psa 107:11

  Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:

psa 107:12

  Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.

psa 107:13

  Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.

psa 107:14

  He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.

psa 107:15

  Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

psa 107:16

  For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

psa 107:17

  Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

psa 107:18

  Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.

psa 107:19

  Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.

psa 107:20

  He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

psa 107:21

  Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

psa 107:22

  And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.

psa 107:23

  They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;

psa 107:24

  These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.

psa 107:25

  For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.

psa 107:26

  They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

psa 107:27

  They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end.

psa 107:28

  Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.

psa 107:29

  He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

psa 107:30

  Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

psa 107:31

  Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

psa 107:32

  Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

psa 107:33

  He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;

psa 107:34

  A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

psa 107:35

  He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.

psa 107:36

  And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;

psa 107:37

  And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.

psa 107:38

  He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

psa 107:39

  Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

psa 107:40

  He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.

psa 107:41

  Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.

psa 107:42

  The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

psa 107:43

  Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
