(Psa 107:1) O give thanks unto the Lord, for {he is} good: for his mercy {endureth} for ever.
(Psa 107:2) Let the redeemed of the Lord say {so}, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
(Psa 107:3) And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
(Psa 107:4) They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
(Psa 107:5) Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
(Psa 107:6) Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, {and} he delivered them out of their distresses.
(Psa 107:7) And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
(Psa 107:8) Oh that {men} would praise the {Lord} for his goodness, and {for} his wonderful works to the children of men!
(Psa 107:9) For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
(Psa 107:10) Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, {being} bound in affliction and iron;
(Psa 107:11) Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
(Psa 107:12) Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and {there was} none to help.
(Psa 107:13) Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, {and} he saved them out of their distresses.
(Psa 107:14) He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
(Psa 107:15) Oh that {men} would praise the Lord {for} his goodness, and {for} his wonderful works to the children of men!
(Psa 107:16) For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
(Psa 107:17) Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
(Psa 107:18) Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
(Psa 107:19) Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, {and} he saveth them out of their distresses.
(Psa 107:20) He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered {them} from their destructions.
(Psa 107:21) Oh that {men} would praise the Lord {for} his goodness, and {for} his wonderful works to the children of men!
(Psa 107:22) And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
(Psa 107:23) They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
(Psa 107:24) These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.
(Psa 107:25) For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
(Psa 107:26) They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
(Psa 107:27) They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end.
(Psa 107:28) Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
(Psa 107:29) He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
(Psa 107:30) Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
(Psa 107:31) Oh that {men} would praise the Lord {for} his goodness, and {for} his wonderful works to the children of men!
(Psa 107:32) Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
(Psa 107:33) He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;
(Psa 107:34) A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
(Psa 107:35) He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.
(Psa 107:36) And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
(Psa 107:37) And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
(Psa 107:38) He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
(Psa 107:39) Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
(Psa 107:40) He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, {where there is} no way.
(Psa 107:41) Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh {him} families like a flock.
(Psa 107:42) The righteous shall see {it}, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
(Psa 107:43) Whoso {is} wise, and will observe these {things}, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.
