107:1  Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good, For His lovingkindness endures forever.
107:2  Let the redeemed of Yahweh say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary
107:3  And gathered from the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.
107:4  They wandered in the wilderness along the way of the wasteland; They did not find an inhabited city.
107:5  Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted within them.
107:6  Then they cried out to Yahweh in their trouble; He delivered them out of their distresses.
107:7  He led them by a straight way, To go to an inhabited city.
107:8  Let them give thanks to Yahweh for His lovingkindness, And for His wondrous deeds to the sons of men!
107:9  For He has satisfied the thirsty soul, And the hungry soul He has filled with what is good.
107:10  There were those who inhabited darkness and the shadow of death, Prisoners in affliction and irons,
107:11  Because they had rebelled against the words of God And spurned the counsel of the Most High.
107:12  So He subdued their heart with labor; They stumbled and there was none to help.
107:13  Then they cried out to Yahweh in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses.
107:14  He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death And broke their bands apart.
107:15  Let them give thanks to Yahweh for His lovingkindness, And for His wondrous deeds to the sons of men!
107:16  For He has shattered the doors of bronze And cut through the bars of iron.
107:17  Ignorant fools, because of their way of transgression, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.
107:18  Their soul abhorred all kinds of food, And they reached the gates of death.
107:19  Then they cried out to Yahweh in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses.
107:20  He sent His word and healed them, And provided them escape from their destructions.
107:21  Let them give thanks to Yahweh for His lovingkindness, And for His wondrous deeds to the sons of men!
107:22  Let them also offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, And recount His works with joyful singing.
107:23  Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business on many waters;
107:24  They have seen the works of Yahweh, And His wondrous deeds in the deep.
107:25  He spoke and set up a stormy wind, Which raised up the waves of the sea.
107:26  They went up to the heavens, they went down to the depths; Their soul melted away in the calamity.
107:27  They staggered and swayed like a drunken man, And all their wisdom was swallowed up.
107:28  Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, And He brought them out of their distresses.
107:29  He caused the storm to stand still, So that its waves were hushed.
107:30  Then they were glad because they were quiet, So He led them to their desired haven.
107:31  Let them give thanks to Yahweh for His lovingkindness, And for His wondrous deeds to the sons of men!
107:32  Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people, And praise Him at the seat of the elders.
107:33  He makes rivers into a wilderness And springs of water into a thirsty ground;
107:34  A fruitful land into a salt waste, Because of the evil of those who inhabited it.
107:35  He makes a wilderness into a pool of water And a dry land into springs of water;
107:36  And there He causes the hungry to inhabit, So that they may establish an inhabited city,
107:37  And sow fields and plant vineyards, And produce a fruitful harvest.
107:38  Also He blesses them and they multiply greatly, And He does not let their cattle decrease.
107:39  But when they decrease and are bowed down Through oppression, evil, and sorrow,
107:40  He pours contempt upon nobles And makes them wander in a pathless void.
107:41  But He sets the needy securely on high away from affliction, And makes his families like a flock.
107:42  The upright see it and are glad; But all unrighteousness shuts its mouth.
107:43  Who is wise? Let him keep these things, And carefully consider the lovingkindnesses of Yahweh.
