107:1  Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
107:2  Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,
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 desolate way; They found no city to dwell in.
107:5  Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them.
107:6  Then they cried out to 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 for a dwelling place.
107:8  Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
107:9  For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness.
107:10  Those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Bound in affliction and irons—
107:11  Because they rebelled against the words of God, And despised 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 out to 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 chains in pieces.
107:15  Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
107:16  For He has broken the gates of bronze, And cut the bars of iron in two.
107:17  Fools, because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.
107:18  Their soul abhorred all manner of food, And they drew near to the gates of death.
107:19  Then they cried out to 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 destructions.
107:21  Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
107:22  Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare His works with rejoicing.
107:23  Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business on great waters,
107:24  They see the works of the Lord, And His wonders in the deep.
107:25  For He commands and raises the stormy wind, Which lifts up the waves of the sea.
107:26  They mount up to the heavens, They go down again to the depths; Their soul melts 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 out to the Lord in their trouble, And He brings them out of their distresses.
107:29  He calms the storm, So that its waves are still.
107:30  Then they are glad because they are quiet; So He guides them to their desired haven.
107:31  Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, 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 company of the elders.
107:33  He turns rivers into a wilderness, And the watersprings into dry ground;
107:34  A fruitful land into barrenness, For the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
107:35  He turns a wilderness into pools of water, And dry land into watersprings.
107:36  There He makes the hungry dwell, That they may establish a city for a dwelling place,
107:37  And sow fields and plant vineyards, That they may yield a fruitful harvest.
107:38  He also blesses them, and they multiply greatly; And He does not let their cattle decrease.
107:39  When they are diminished and brought low Through oppression, affliction, and sorrow,
107:40  He pours contempt on princes, And causes them to wander in the wilderness where there is no way;
107:41  Yet He sets the poor on high, far from affliction, And makes their families like a flock.
107:42  The righteous see it and rejoice, And all iniquity stops its mouth.
107:43  Whoever is wise will observe these things, And they will understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.
