107:1  BOOK V 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 adversary;
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 desert way; they found no city of habitation.
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  He led them also by a straight way, that they might go to a city of 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 the hungry soul he filleth with good.
107:10  Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
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 labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
107:13  Then they cried unto the LORD hi their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
107:14  He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
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 in sunder.
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 sendeth his word, and healeth them, and delivereth 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 offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with singing.
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 melteth away 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 be quiet: so he bringeth them unto the haven where they would be.
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 assembly of the people, and praise him in the seat of the elders.
107:33  He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and watersprings into a thirsty ground;
107:34  A fruitful land into a salt desert, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
107:35  He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water, and a dry land into watersprings.
107:36  And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city of habitation;
107:37  And sow fields, and plant vineyards, and get them fruits of increase.
107:38  He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
107:39  Again, they are minished and bowed down through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
107:40  He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.
107:41  Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.
107:42  The upright shall see it, and be glad; and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
107:43  Whoso is wise shall give heed to these things, and they shall consider the mercies of the LORD.
