Psalms 107:1-22

‘Give ye thanks to JEHOVAH, For good, for to the age [is] His kindness:’ Let the redeemed of JEHOVAH say, Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary. And from the lands hath gathered them, From east and from west, From north, and from the sea. They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, A city of habitation they have not found. Hungry — yea — thirsty, Their soul in them becometh feeble, And they cry unto JEHOVAH in their adversity, From their distress He delivereth them, And causeth them to tread in a right way, To go unto a city of habitation. They confess to JEHOVAH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men. For He hath satisfied a longing soul, And a hungry soul hath filled [with] goodness. Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of affliction and of iron, Because they changed the saying of God, And the counsel of the Most High despised. And He humbleth with labour their heart, They have been feeble, and there is no helper. And they cry unto JEHOVAH in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them. He bringeth them out from the dark place, And death-shade, And their bands He draweth away. They confess to JEHOVAH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men. For He hath broken doors of brass, And bars of iron He hath cut. Fools, by means of their transgression, And by their iniquities, afflict themselves. All food doth their soul abominate, And they come nigh unto the gates of death, And cry unto JEHOVAH in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them, He sendeth His word and healeth them, And delivereth from their destructions. They confess to JEHOVAH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men, And they sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving, And recount His works with singing.
