107:1  Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
107:2  Let them say so that have been redeemed by the Lord, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy: and gathered out of the countries.
107:3  From the rising and the setting of the sun, from the north and from the sea.
107:4  They wandered in a wilderness, in a place without water: they found not the way of a city for their habitation.
107:5  They were hungry and thirsty: their soul fainted in them.
107:6  And they cried to the Lord in their tribulation: and he delivered them out of their distresses.
107:7  And he led them into the right way: that they might go to a city of habitation.
107:8  Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.
107:9  For he hath satisfied the empty soul, and hath filled the hungry soul with good things.
107:10  Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death: bound in want and in iron.
107:11  Because they had exasperated the words of God: and provoked the counsel of the most High:
107:12  And their heart was humbled with labours: they were weakened, and their was none to help them.
107:13  Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.
107:14  And he brought them out of darkness, and the shadow of death; and broke their bonds in sunder.
107:15  Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.
107:16  Because he hath broken gates of brass, and burst the iron bars.
107:17  He took them out of the way of their iniquity: for they were brought low for their injustices.
107:18  Their soul abhorred all manner of meat: and they drew nigh even to the gates of death.
107:19  And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.
107:20  He sent his word, and healed them: and delivered them from their destructions.
107:21  Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.
107:22  And let them sacrifice the sacrifice of praise: and declare his works with joy.
107:23  They that go down to the sea in ships, doing business in the great waters:
107:24  These have seen the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.
107:25  He said the word, and there arose a storm of wind: and the waves thereof were lifted up.
107:26  They mount up to the heavens, and they go down to the depths: their soul pined away with evils.
107:27  They were troubled, and reeled like a drunken man; and all their wisdom was swallowed up.
107:28  And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he brought them out of their distresses.
107:29  And he turned the storm into a breeze: and its waves were still.
107:30  And they rejoiced because they were still: and he brought them to the haven which they wished for.
107:31  Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.
107:32  And let them exalt him in the church of the people: and praise him in the chair of the ancients.
107:33  He hath turned rivers into a wilderness: and the sources of water into dry ground:
107:34  A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
107:35  He hath turned a wilderness into pools of water, and a dry land into water springs.
107:36  And hath placed there the hungry; and they made a city for their habitation.
107:37  And they sowed fields, and planted vineyards: and they yielded fruit of birth.
107:38  And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly: and their cattle he suffered not to decrease.
107:39  Then they were brought to be few: and they were afflicted through the trouble of evils and sorrow.
107:40  Contempt was poured forth upon their princes: and he caused them to wander where there was no passing, and out of the way.
107:41  And he helped the poor out of poverty: and made him families like a flock of sheep.
107:42  The just shall see, and shall rejoice, and all iniquity shall stop their mouth.
107:43  Who is wise, and will keep these things: and will understand the mercies of the Lord?
