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