107:1  O give thanks unto Jehovah; For he is good; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
107:2  Let the redeemed of Jehovah say'so , Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
107:3  And gathered out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.
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 Jehovah in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distresses,
107:7  He led them also by a straight way, That they might go to a city of habitation.
107:8  Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
107:9  For he satisfieth the longing soul, And the hungry soul he filleth 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 brought down their heart with labor; They fell down, and there was none to help.
107:13  Then they cried unto Jehovah 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 brake their bonds in sunder.
107:15  Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, 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  Fools because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
107:18  Their soul abhorreth all manner of food; And they draw near unto the gates of death.
107:19  Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he saveth them out of their distresses.
107:20  He sendeth his word, and healeth them, And delivereth them from their destructions.
107:21  Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, 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 see the works of Jehovah, And his wonders in the deep.
107:25  For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, Which lifteth up the waves thereof.
107:26  They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths: Their soul melteth away because of trouble.
107:27  They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, And are at their wits end.
107:28  Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he bringeth them out of their distresses.
107:29  He maketh the storm a calm, So that the waves thereof are still.
107:30  Then are they glad because they are quiet; So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
107:31  Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, 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 desert, 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, That they may prepare a city of habitation,
107:37  And sow fields, and plant vineyards, And get them fruits of increase.
107:38  He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; And he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
107:39  Again, they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, trouble, 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 him families like a flock.
107:42  The upright shall see it, and be glad; And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
107:43  Whoso is wise will give heed to these things; And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah.
