Psalm 107

107O GIVE thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy {and} loving-kindness endure forever!H3034H3068H2896H2617H57692Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has delivered from the hand of the adversary,H1350H3068H559H1350H3027H68623And gathered them out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the [Red] Sea in the south.H6908H776H4217H4628H6828H32204Some wandered in the wilderness in a solitary desert track; they found no city for habitation.H8582H4057H3452H1870H4672H5892H41865Hungry and thirsty, they fainted; their lives were near to being extinguished.H7457H6771H5315H58486Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses.H6817H3068H6862H5337H46917He led them forth by the straight {and} right way, that they might go to a city where they could establish their homes.H1869H3477H1870H3212H5892H41868Oh, that men would praise [and confess to] the Lord for His goodness {and} loving-kindness and His wonderful works to the children of men!H3034H3068H2617H6381H1121H1209For He satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry soul with good.H7646H8264H5315H4390H7457H5315H289610Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and in irons,H3427H2822H6757H615H6040H127011Because they had rebelled against the words of God and spurned the counsel of the Most High.H4784H561H410H5006H6098H594512Therefore He bowed down their hearts with hard labor; they stumbled {and} fell down, and there was none to help.H3665H3820H5999H3782H582613Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses.H2199H3068H6862H3467H469114He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death and broke apart the bonds that held them.H3318H2822H6757H5423H4147H542315Oh, that men would praise [and confess to] the Lord for His goodness {and} loving-kindness and His wonderful works to the children of men!H3034H3068H2617H6381H1121H12016For He has broken the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron apart.H7665H1817H5178H1438H1280H1270H143817Some are fools [made ill] because of the way of their transgressions and are afflicted because of their iniquities.H191H1870H6588H5771H603118They loathe every kind of food, and they draw near to the gates of death.H5315H8581H400H5060H8179H419419Then they cry to the Lord in their trouble, and He delivers them out of their distresses.H2199H3068H6862H3467H469120He sends forth His word and heals them and rescues them from the pit {and} destruction.H7971H1697H7495H4422H782521Oh, that men would praise [and confess to] the Lord for His goodness {and} loving-kindness and His wonderful works to the children of men!H3034H3068H2617H6381H1121H12022And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving and rehearse His deeds with shouts of joy {and} singing!H2076H2077H8426H5608H4639H744023Some go down to the sea {and} travel over it in ships to do business in great waters;H3381H3220H591H6213H4399H7227H432524These see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep.H7200H4639H3068H6381H468825For He commands and raises up the stormy wind, which lifts up the waves of the sea.H559H5975H5591H7307H7311H153026[Those aboard] mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the deeps; their courage melts away because of their plight.H5927H8064H3381H8415H5315H4127H745127They reel to and fro and stagger like a drunken man and are at their wits' end [all their wisdom has come to nothing].H2287H5128H7910H2451H110428Then they cry to the Lord in their trouble, and He brings them out of their distresses.H6817H3068H6862H3318H469129He hushes the storm to a calm {and} to a gentle whisper, so that the waves of the sea are still.H6965H5591H1827H1530H281430Then the men are glad because of the calm, and He brings them to their desired haven.H8055H8367H5148H2656H423131Oh, that men would praise [and confess to] the Lord for His goodness {and} loving-kindness and His wonderful works to the children of men!H3034H3068H2617H6381H1121H12032Let them exalt Him also in the congregation of the people and praise Him in the company of the elders.H7311H6951H5971H1984H4186H220533He turns rivers into a wilderness, water springs into a thirsty ground,H7760H5104H4057H4325H4161H677434A fruitful land into a barren, salt waste, because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it.H6529H776H4420H7451H342735He turns a wilderness into a pool of water and a dry ground into water springs;H7760H4057H98H4325H6723H776H4325H416136And there He makes the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation,H7457H3427H3559H5892H418637And sow fields, and plant vineyards which yield fruits of increase.H2232H7704H5193H3754H6213H6529H839338He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly, and allows not their cattle to decrease.H1288H7235H3966H4591H929H459139When they are diminished and bowed down through oppression, trouble, and sorrow,H4591H7817H6115H7451H301540He pours contempt upon princes and causes them to wander in waste places where there is no road.H8210H937H5081H8582H8414H187041Yet He raises the poor {and} needy from affliction and makes their families like a flock.H34H7682H6040H7760H4940H662942The upright shall see it and be glad, but all iniquity shall shut its mouth.H3477H7200H8055H5766H7092H631043Whoso is wise [if there be any truly wise] will observe {and} heed these things; and they will diligently consider the mercy {and} loving-kindness of the Lord.H2450H8104H995H2617H3068
