# Chapter 107
|
|
1. Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
|
|
For His mercy endures forever.
|
|
|
|
2. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
|
|
Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,
|
|
|
|
3. And gathered out of the lands,
|
|
From the east and from the west,
|
|
From the north and from the south.
|
|
|
|
4. They wandered in the wilderness in a desolate way;
|
|
They found no city to dwell in.
|
|
|
|
5. Hungry and thirsty,
|
|
Their soul fainted in them.
|
|
|
|
6. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
|
|
And He delivered them out of their distresses.
|
|
|
|
7. And He led them forth by the right way,
|
|
That they might go to a city for a dwelling place.
|
|
|
|
8. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
|
|
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
|
|
|
|
9. For He satisfies the longing soul,
|
|
And fills the hungry soul with goodness.
|
|
|
|
10. Those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
|
|
Bound in affliction and irons--
|
|
|
|
11. Because they rebelled against the words of God,
|
|
And despised the counsel of the Most High,
|
|
|
|
12. Therefore He brought down their heart with labor;
|
|
They fell down, and there was none to help.
|
|
|
|
13. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
|
|
And He saved them out of their distresses.
|
|
|
|
14. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
|
|
And broke their chains in pieces.
|
|
|
|
15. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
|
|
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
|
|
|
|
16. For He has broken the gates of bronze,
|
|
And cut the bars of iron in two.
|
|
|
|
17. Fools, because of their transgression,
|
|
And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.
|
|
|
|
18. Their soul abhorred all manner of food,
|
|
And they drew near to the gates of death.
|
|
|
|
19. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
|
|
And He saved them out of their distresses.
|
|
|
|
20. He sent His word and healed them,
|
|
And delivered them from their destructions.
|
|
|
|
21. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
|
|
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
|
|
|
|
22. Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving,
|
|
And declare His works with rejoicing.
|
|
|
|
23. Those who go down to the sea in ships,
|
|
Who do business on great waters,
|
|
|
|
24. They see the works of the Lord,
|
|
And His wonders in the deep.
|
|
|
|
25. For He commands and raises the stormy wind,
|
|
Which lifts up the waves of the sea.
|
|
|
|
26. They mount up to the heavens,
|
|
They go down again to the depths;
|
|
Their soul melts because of trouble.
|
|
|
|
27. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,
|
|
And are at their wits' end.
|
|
|
|
28. Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble,
|
|
And He brings them out of their distresses.
|
|
|
|
29. He calms the storm,
|
|
So that its waves are still.
|
|
|
|
30. Then they are glad because they are quiet;
|
|
So He guides them to their desired haven.
|
|
|
|
31. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
|
|
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
|
|
|
|
32. Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people,
|
|
And praise Him in the company of the elders.
|
|
|
|
33. He turns rivers into a wilderness,
|
|
And the watersprings into dry ground;
|
|
|
|
34. A fruitful land into barrenness,
|
|
For the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
|
|
|
|
35. He turns a wilderness into pools of water,
|
|
And dry land into watersprings.
|
|
|
|
36. There He makes the hungry dwell,
|
|
That they may establish a city for a dwelling place,
|
|
|
|
37. And sow fields and plant vineyards,
|
|
That they may yield a fruitful harvest.
|
|
|
|
38. He also blesses them, and they multiply greatly;
|
|
And He does not let their cattle decrease.
|
|
|
|
39. When they are diminished and brought low
|
|
Through oppression, affliction, and sorrow,
|
|
|
|
40. He pours contempt on princes,
|
|
And causes them to wander in the wilderness where there is no way;
|
|
|
|
41. Yet He sets the poor on high, far from affliction,
|
|
And makes their families like a flock.
|
|
|
|
42. The righteous see it and rejoice,
|
|
And all iniquity stops its mouth.
|
|
|
|
43. Whoever is wise will observe these things,
|
|
And they will understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.
