Psa 107:1 |
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:2 |
Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:3 |
And gathered from the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the [fn]south.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:4 |
They wandered in the wilderness in a [fn]desert region; They did not find a way to [fn]an inhabited city.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:5 |
They were hungry [fn]and thirsty; Their soul fainted within them.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:6 |
Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; He delivered them out of their distresses.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:7 |
He led them also by a [fn]straight way, To go to [fn]an inhabited city.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:8 |
Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, And for His [fn]wonders to the sons of men!
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:9 |
For He has satisfied the [fn]thirsty soul, And the hungry soul He has filled with what is good.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:10 |
There were those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death, Prisoners in [fn]misery and [fn]chains,
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:11 |
Because they had rebelled against the words of God And spurned the counsel of the Most High.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:12 |
Therefore He humbled their heart with labor; They stumbled and there was none to help.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:13 |
Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:14 |
He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death And broke their bands apart.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:15 |
Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, And for His [fn]wonders to the sons of men!
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:16 |
For He has shattered gates of bronze And cut bars of iron asunder.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:17 |
Fools, because of [fn]their rebellious way, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:18 |
Their soul abhorred all kinds of food, And they drew near to the gates of death.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:19 |
Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:20 |
He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their [fn]destructions.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:21 |
Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, And for His [fn]wonders to the sons of men!
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:22 |
Let them also offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, And tell of His works with joyful singing.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:23 |
Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business on great waters;
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:24 |
They have seen the works of the LORD, And His [fn]wonders in the deep.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:25 |
For He spoke and raised up a stormy wind, Which lifted up the waves [fn]of the sea.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:26 |
They rose up to the heavens, they went down to the depths; Their soul melted away in their misery.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:27 |
They reeled and staggered like a drunken man, And [fn]were at their wits' end.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:28 |
Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, And He brought them out of their distresses.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:29 |
He caused the storm to be still, So that the waves [fn]of the sea were hushed.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:30 |
Then they were glad because they were quiet, So He guided them to their desired haven.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:31 |
Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, And for His [fn]wonders to the sons of men!
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:32 |
Let them extol Him also in the congregation of the people, And praise Him at the seat of the elders.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:33 |
He [fn]changes rivers into a [fn]wilderness And springs of water into a thirsty ground;
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:34 |
A fruitful land into a salt waste, Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:35 |
He [fn]changes a [fn]wilderness into a pool of water And a dry land into springs of water;
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:36 |
And there He makes the hungry to dwell, So that they may establish [fn]an inhabited city,
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:37 |
And sow fields and plant vineyards, And [fn]gather a fruitful harvest.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:38 |
Also He blesses them and they multiply greatly, And He does not let their cattle decrease.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:39 |
When they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, misery and sorrow,
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:40 |
He pours contempt upon [fn]princes And makes them wander in a pathless waste.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:41 |
But He sets the needy [fn]securely on high away from affliction, And makes his families like a flock.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:42 |
The upright see it and are glad; But all unrighteousness shuts its mouth.
|
  
  
|
Psa 107:43 |
Who is wise? Let him give heed to these things, And consider the lovingkindnesses of the LORD.
