Psalms 107

The LORD Delivers Men from Manifold Troubles.

1

Oh  agive thanks to the LORD, for  bHe is good, For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

2

Let  athe redeemed of the LORD say so, Whom He has  bredeemed from the hand of the adversary

3

And  agathered from the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the  1south.

4

They  awandered in the wilderness in a  1desert region; They did not find a way to  2an inhabited  bcity.

5

They were hungry  1and thirsty; Their  asoul fainted within them.

6

Then they  acried out to the LORD in their trouble; He delivered them out of their distresses.

7

He led them also by a  1 astraight way, To go to  2 ban inhabited city.

8

 aLet them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, And for His  1wonders to the sons of men!

9

For He has  asatisfied the  1thirsty soul, And the  bhungry soul He has filled with what is good.

10

There were those who  adwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death,  bPrisoners in  1misery and  2chains,

11

Because they had  arebelled against the words of God And  bspurned the  ccounsel of the Most High.

12

Therefore He humbled their heart with labor; They stumbled and there was  anone to help.

13

Then they  acried out to the LORD in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses.

14

He  abrought them out of darkness and the shadow of death And  bbroke their bands apart.

15

 aLet them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, And for His  1wonders to the sons of men!

16

For He has  ashattered gates of bronze And cut bars of iron asunder.

17

Fools, because of  1their rebellious way, And  abecause of their iniquities, were afflicted.

18

Their  asoul abhorred all kinds of food, And they  bdrew near to the  cgates of death.

19

Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses.

20

He  asent His word and  bhealed them, And  cdelivered them from their  1destructions.

21

 aLet them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, And for His  1wonders to the sons of men!

22

Let them also offer  asacrifices of thanksgiving, And  btell of His works with joyful singing.

23

Those who  ago down to the sea in ships, Who do business on great waters;

24

They have seen the works of the LORD, And His  1wonders in the deep.

25

For He  aspoke and raised up a  bstormy wind, Which  clifted up the waves  1of the sea.

26

They rose up to the heavens, they went down to the depths; Their soul  amelted away in their misery.

27

They reeled and  astaggered like a drunken man, And  1were at their wits' end.

28

Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, And He brought them out of their distresses.

29

He  acaused the storm to be still, So that the waves  1of the sea were hushed.

30

Then they were glad because they were quiet, So He guided them to their desired haven.

31

 aLet them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, And for His  1 bwonders to the sons of men!

32

Let them  aextol Him also  bin the congregation of the people, And  cpraise Him at the seat of the elders.

33

He  1 achanges rivers into a  2wilderness And springs of water into a thirsty ground;

34

A  afruitful land into a  bsalt waste, Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it.

35

He  1 achanges a  2wilderness into a pool of water And a dry land into springs of water;

36

And there He makes the hungry to dwell, So that they may establish  1 aan inhabited city,

37

And sow fields and  aplant vineyards, And  1gather a fruitful harvest.

38

Also He blesses them and they  amultiply greatly, And He  bdoes not let their cattle decrease.

39

When they are  adiminished and  bbowed down Through oppression, misery and sorrow,

40

He  apours contempt upon  1princes And  bmakes them wander  cin a pathless waste.

41

But He  asets the needy  1securely on high away from affliction, And  bmakes his families like a flock.

42

The  aupright see it and are glad; But all  bunrighteousness shuts its mouth.

43

Who is  awise? Let him give heed to these things, And consider the  blovingkindnesses of the LORD.
