PSALM 107
The Lord Delivers Men from Manifold Troubles.
1Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good,
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
2Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary
3And gathered from the lands,
From the east and from the west,
From the north and from the south.
4They wandered in the wilderness in a desert region;
They did not find a way to an inhabited city.
5 They were hungry and thirsty;
Their soul fainted within them.
6Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble;
He delivered them out of their distresses.
7He led them also by a straight way,
To go to an inhabited city.
8Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness,
And for His wonders to the sons of men!
9For He has satisfied the thirsty soul,
And the hungry soul He has filled with what is good.
10There were those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death,
Prisoners in misery and chains,
11Because they had rebelled against the words of God
And spurned the counsel of the Most High.
12Therefore He humbled their heart with labor;
They stumbled and there was none to help.
13Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble;
He saved them out of their distresses.
14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death
And broke their bands apart.
15Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness,
And for His wonders to the sons of men!
16For He has shattered gates of bronze
And cut bars of iron asunder.
17Fools, because of their rebellious way,
And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.
18Their soul abhorred all kinds of food,
And they drew near to the gates of death.
19Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble;
He saved them out of their distresses.
20He sent His word and healed them,
And delivered them from their #Or pitsdestructions.
21Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness,
And for His wonders to the sons of men!
22Let them also offer sacrifices of thanksgiving,
And tell of His works with joyful singing.
23Those who go down to the sea in ships,
Who do business on great waters;
24They have seen the works of the Lord,
And His wonders in the deep.
25For He spoke and raised up a stormy wind,
Which lifted up the waves of the sea.
26They rose up to the heavens, they went down to the depths;
Their soul melted away in their misery.
27They reeled and staggered like a drunken man,
And #Lit all their wisdom was swallowed upwere at their wits’ end.
28Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
And He brought them out of their distresses.
29He caused the storm to be still,
So that the waves of the sea were hushed.
30Then they were glad because they were quiet,
So He guided them to their desired haven.
31Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness,
And for His wonders to the sons of men!
32Let them extol Him also in the congregation of the people,
And praise Him at the seat of the elders.
33He #Or turnschanges rivers into a wilderness
And springs of water into a thirsty ground;
34A fruitful land into a salt waste,
Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
35He changes a wilderness into a pool of water
And a dry land into springs of water;
36And there He makes the hungry to dwell,
So that they may establish an inhabited city,
37And sow fields and plant vineyards,
And gather a fruitful harvest.
38Also He blesses them and they multiply greatly,
And He does not let their cattle decrease.
39When they are diminished and bowed down
Through oppression, misery and sorrow,
40He pours contempt upon princes
And makes them wander in a pathless waste.
41But He sets the needy securely on high away from affliction,
And makes his families like a flock.
42The upright see it and are glad;
But all unrighteousness shuts its mouth.
43Who is wise? Let him give heed to these things,
And consider the lovingkindnesses of the Lord.

Psalms 107
107
FIFTH BOOK
PSALM 107
1Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness endureth for ever. 2Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the oppressor, 3And gathered out of the countries, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the sea. 4They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way, they found no city of habitation; 5Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them: 6Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses, 7And he led them forth by a right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. 8Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men; 9For he hath satisfied the longing soul and filled the hungry soul with good.
10Such as inhabit darkness and the shadow of death, bound in affliction and iron, 11Because they had rebelled against the words of ·God#GodHebrew: El and had despised the counsel of the Most High; ... 12And he bowed down their heart with labour; they stumbled, and there was none to help: 13Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses; 14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bands in sunder. 15Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men; 16For he hath broken the gates of bronze, and cut asunder the bars of iron.
17Fools, because of their way of transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted; 18Their soul abhorreth all manner of food, and they draw near unto the gates of death: 19Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses; 20He sendeth his word, and healeth them, and delivereth them from their destructions. 21Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men, 22And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works in joyful song.
23They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters, 24These see the works of Jehovah, and his wonders in the deep. 25For he speaketh, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof: 26They mount up to the heavens, they go down to the depths; their soul is melted because of trouble; 27They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and they are at their wits' end: 28Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses; 29He maketh the storm a calm, and the waves thereof are still: 30And they rejoice because they are quiet; and he bringeth them unto their desired haven. 31Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men; 32Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the session of the elders.
33He maketh rivers into a wilderness, and water-springs into dry ground; 34A fruitful land into a plain of salt, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. 35He maketh the wilderness into a pool of water, and the dry land into water-springs; 36And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, and they establish a city of habitation; 37And sow fields, and plant vineyards, which yield fruits of increase; 38And he blesseth them, so that they are multiplied greatly; and he suffereth not their cattle to decrease. 39And they are diminished and brought low, through oppression, adversity, and sorrow: 40He poureth contempt upon nobles, and causeth them to wander in a pathless waste; 41But he secureth the needy one on high from affliction, and maketh him families like flocks. 42The upright shall see it, and rejoice; and all unrighteousness shall stop its mouth. 43Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, and let them understand the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah.
