107:1  O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good; for his mercy endures for ever.
107:2  Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy
107:3  and gathered them out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
107:4  They wandered lost in the wilderness, alone and out of the way; they found no city to dwell in.
107:5  Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
107:6  Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
107:7  And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
107:8  Oh that men would praise the LORD for his mercy and for his wonderful works unto the sons of Adam!
107:9  For he satisfies the soul that is destitute and fills the hungry soul with goodness.
107:10  Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and in irons,
107:11  because they rebelled against the words of God and condemned the counsel of the most High:
107:12  Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was no one to help.
107:13  Then they cried unto the LORD 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 broke their bonds asunder.
107:15  Oh that men would praise the LORD for his mercy and for his wonderful works unto the sons of Adam!
107:16  For he has broken the gates of brass and cut the bars of iron asunder.
107:17  The fools, because of the way of their rebellion, and because of their iniquities, were afflicted.
107:18  Their soul abhorred all manner of food, and they drew near unto the gates of death.
107:19  Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
107:20  He sent his word and healed them and delivered them from their graves.
107:21  Oh that men would praise the LORD for his mercy and for his wonderful works unto the sons of Adam!
107:22  And let them offer the sacrifices of praise and publish his works with singing.
107:23  Those that go down to the sea in ships that do work in many waters,
107:24  these have seen the works of the LORD and his wonders in the deep.
107:25  For he commands and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up its waves.
107:26  They mount up to the heavens; they go down again to the depths; their soul is melted because of trouble.
107:27  They reel to and fro and stagger like a drunken man, and all of their knowledge is of no avail.
107:28  Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivers them out of their afflictions.
107:29  He makes the storm a calm, so that its waves are still.
107:30  Then they are glad because they are at rest; so he brings them into the haven of his will.
107:31  Oh that men would praise the LORD for his mercy and for his wonderful works unto the sons of Adam!
107:32  Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
107:33  He turned rivers into a wilderness and the watersprings into dry ground;
107:34  the fruitful land into salt flats, because of the wickedness of those that dwell therein.
107:35  He turns the wilderness into reservoirs of water and dry ground into watersprings.
107:36  And there he makes the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation
107:37  and sow the fields and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
107:38  He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly and suffers not their cattle to decrease.
107:39  Again, they are diminished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
107:40  He pours contempt upon princes and causes them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
107:41  Yet he sets the poor on high from affliction and makes his families like a flock.
107:42  The righteous shall see it and rejoice, and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
107:43  Who is wise and will observe these things and shall understand the mercies of the LORD?
