107:1  O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.
107:2  Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He hath 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 in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
107:5  Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within 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 for habitation.
107:8  Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!
107:9  For He satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
107:10  They that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and irons,
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 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 goodness, 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 asunder.
107:17  Fools, because of their transgression and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
107:18  Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat, and they draw near unto the gates of death.
107:19  Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and He saveth 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 praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!
107:22  And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare His works with rejoicing!
107:23  They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters:
107:24  these see the works of the Lord 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 heaven, 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 are at their wits’ end.
107:28  Then they cry unto the Lord 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 the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!
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 turneth rivers into a wilderness and the watersprings into dry ground,
107:34  a fruitful land into barrenness for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
107:35  He turneth the wilderness into a standing water and dry ground into watersprings;
107:36  and there He maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation,
107:37  and sow the fields and plant vineyards, which may yield fruitful increase.
107:38  He blesseth them also so that they are multiplied greatly, and alloweth not their cattle to decrease.
107:39  Again, they are diminished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
107:40  He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness where there is no way.
107:41  Yet setteth He the poor on high from affliction, and maketh their families like a flock.
107:42  The righteous shall see it and rejoice, and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
107:43  Whoso is wise and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.
