PSALM 107

107:1 'O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.' 107:2 So let the redeemed of the Lord say, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary; 107:3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the sea. 107:4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; they found no city of habitation. 107:5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. 107:6 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses. 107:7 And He led them by a straight way, that they might go to a city of habitation. 107:8 Let them give thanks unto the Lord for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! 107:9 For He hath satisfied the longing soul, and the hungry soul He hath filled with good. 107:10 Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron-107:11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the Most High. 107:12 Therefore He humbled their heart with travail, they stumbled, and there was none to help-107:13 They cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses. 107:14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bands in sunder. 107:15 Let them give thanks unto the Lord for His mercy, and for His wonderful

works to the children of men! 107:16 For He hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder. 107:17 Crazed because of the way of their transgression, and afflicted because of their iniquities-107:18 Their soul abhorred all manner of food, and they drew near unto the gates of death-107:19 They cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses; 107:20 He sent His word, and healed them, and delivered them from their graves. 107:21 Let them give thanks unto the Lord for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! 107:22 And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare His works with singing. 107:23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters-107:24 These saw the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep; 107:25 For He commanded, and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves thereof; 107:26 They mounted up to the heaven, they went down to the deeps; their soul melted away because of trouble; 107:27 They reeled to and fro, and staggered like a drunken man, and all their wisdom was swallowed up-107:28 They cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distresses. 107:29 He made the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof were still. 107:30 Then were they glad because they were quiet, and He led them unto their desired haven. 107:31 Let them give thanks unto the Lord for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!

107:32 Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people, and praise Him in the seat of the elders. 107:33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and watersprings into a thirsty ground; 107:34 A fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. 107:35 He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water, and a dry land into watersprings. 107:36 And there He maketh the hungry to dwell, and they establish a city of habitation; 107:37 And sow fields, and plant vineyards, which yield fruits of increase. 107:38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly, and suffereth not their cattle to decrease. 107:39 Again, they are minished and dwindle away through oppression of evil and sorrow. 107:40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way. 107:41 Yet setteth He the needy on high from affliction, and maketh his families like a flock. 107:42 The upright see it, and are glad; and all iniquity stoppeth her mouth. 107:43 Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, and let them consider the mercies of the Lord.
