Psalm 107
1¶ O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy endures for ever.
2Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy
3and gathered them out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
4They wandered lost in the wilderness, alone and out of the way; they found no city to dwell in.
5Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8Oh that men would praise the Lord for his mercy and for his wonderful works unto the sons of Adam!
9For he satisfies the soul that is destitute and fills the hungry soul with goodness.
10¶ Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and in irons,
11because they rebelled against the words of God and condemned the counsel of the most High:
12Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was no one to help.
13Then they cried unto the Lord 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 bonds asunder.
15Oh that men would praise the Lord for his mercy and for his wonderful works unto the sons of Adam!
16For he has broken the gates of brass and cut the bars of iron asunder.
17¶ The fools, because of the way of their rebellion, and because of their iniquities, were afflicted.
18Their soul abhorred all manner of food, and they drew near unto the gates of death.
19Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
20He sent his word and healed them and delivered them from their graves.
21Oh that men would praise the Lord for his mercy and for his wonderful works unto the sons of Adam!
22And let them offer the sacrifices of praise and publish his works with singing.
23¶ Those that go down to the sea in ships that do work in many waters,
24these have seen the works of the Lord and his wonders in the deep.
25For he commands and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up its waves.
26They mount up to the heavens; they go down again to the depths; their soul is melted because of trouble.
27They reel to and fro and stagger like a drunken man, and all of their knowledge is of no avail.
28Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivers them out of their afflictions.
29He makes the storm a calm, so that its waves are still.
30Then they are glad because they are at rest; so he brings them into the haven of his will.
31Oh that men would praise the Lord for his mercy and for his wonderful works unto the sons of Adam!
32Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33¶ He turned rivers into a wilderness and the watersprings into dry ground;
34the fruitful land into salt flats, because of the wickedness of those that dwell therein.
35He turns the wilderness into reservoirs of water and dry ground into watersprings.
36And there he makes the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation
37and sow the fields and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
38He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly and suffers not their cattle to decrease.
39Again, they are diminished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
40He pours contempt upon princes and causes them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
41Yet he sets the poor on high from affliction and makes his families like a flock.
42The righteous shall see it and rejoice, and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43Who is wise and will observe these things and shall understand the mercies of the Lord?

Psalms 107
107
BOOK V
1O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures for ever!
2Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
whom he has redeemed from trouble
3and gathered in from the lands,
from the east and from the west,
from the north and from the south.
4Some wandered in desert wastes,
finding no way to a city to dwell in;
5hungry and thirsty,
their soul fainted within them.
6Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress;
7he led them by a straight way,
till they reached a city to dwell in.
8Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
for his wonderful works to the sons of men!
9For he satisfies him who is thirsty,
and the hungry he fills with good things.
10Some sat in darkness and in gloom,
prisoners in affliction and in irons,
11for they had rebelled against the words of God,
and spurned the counsel of the Most High.
12Their hearts were bowed down with hard labor;
they fell down, with none to help.
13Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress;
14he brought them out of darkness and gloom,
and broke their bonds asunder.
15Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
for his wonderful works to the sons of men!
16For he shatters the doors of bronze,
and cuts in two the bars of iron.
17Some were sick#107.17 Cn: Heb fools through their sinful ways,
and because of their iniquities suffered affliction;
18they loathed any kind of food,
and they drew near to the gates of death.
19Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress;
20he sent forth his word, and healed them,
and delivered them from destruction.
21Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
for his wonderful works to the sons of men!
22And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving,
and tell of his deeds in songs of joy!
23Some went down to the sea in ships,
doing business on the great waters;
24they saw the deeds of the Lord,
his wondrous works in the deep.
25For he commanded, and raised the stormy wind,
which lifted up the waves of the sea.
26They mounted up to heaven, they went down to the depths;
their courage melted away in their evil plight;
27they reeled and staggered like drunken men,
and were at their wits' end.
28Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress;
29he made the storm be still,
and the waves of the sea were hushed.
30Then they were glad because they had quiet,
and he brought them to their desired haven.
31Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
for his wonderful works to the sons of men!
32Let them extol him in the congregation of the people,
and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33He turns rivers into a desert,
springs of water into thirsty ground,
34a fruitful land into a salty waste,
because of the wickedness of its inhabitants.
35He turns a desert into pools of water,
a parched land into springs of water.
36And there he lets the hungry dwell,
and they establish a city to live in;
37they sow fields, and plant vineyards,
and get a fruitful yield.
38By his blessing they multiply greatly;
and he does not let their cattle decrease.
39When they are diminished and brought low
through oppression, trouble, and sorrow,
40he pours contempt upon princes
and makes them wander in trackless wastes;
41but he raises up the needy out of affliction,
and makes their families like flocks.
42The upright see it and are glad;
and all wickedness stops its mouth.
43Whoever is wise, let him give heed to these things;
let men consider the steadfast love of the Lord.
