Psalm 107

1. 1

   Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, *
   and his mercy endures for ever.

2. 2

   Let all those whom the LORD has redeemed proclaim *
   that he redeemed them from the hand of the foe.

3. 3

   He gathered them out of the lands; *
   from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.

4. 4

   Some wandered in desert wastes; *
   they found no way to a city where they might dwell.

5. 5

   They were hungry and thirsty; *
   their spirits languished within them.

6. 6

   Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, *
   and he delivered them from their distress.

7. 7

   He put their feet on a straight path *
   to go to a city where they might dwell.

8. 8

   Let them give thanks to the LORD for his mercy *
   and the wonders he does for his children.

9. 9

   For he satisfies the thirsty *
   and fills the hungry with good things.

10. 10

    Some sat in darkness and deep gloom, *
    bound fast in misery and iron;

11. 11

    Because they rebelled against the words of God *
    and despised the counsel of the Most High.

12. 12

    So he humbled their spirits with hard labor; *
    they stumbled, and there was none to help.

13. 13

    Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, *
    and he delivered them from their distress.

14. 14

    He led them out of darkness and deep gloom *
    and broke their bonds asunder.

15. 15

    Let them give thanks to the LORD for his mercy *
    and the wonders he does for his children.

16. 16

    For he shatters the doors of bronze *
    and breaks in two the iron bars.

17. 17

    Some were fools and took to rebellious ways; *
    they were afflicted because of their sins.

18. 18

    They abhorred all manner of food *
    and drew near to death's door.

19. 19

    Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, *
    and he delivered them from their distress.

20. 20

    He sent forth his word and healed them *
    and saved them from the grave.

21. 21

    Let them give thanks to the LORD for his mercy *
    and the wonders he does for his children.

22. 22

    Let them offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving *
    and tell of his acts with shouts of joy.

23. 23

    Some went down to the sea in ships *
    and plied their trade in deep waters;

24. 24

    They beheld the works of the LORD *
    and his wonders in the deep.

25. 25

    Then he spoke, and a stormy wind arose, *
    which tossed high the waves of the sea.

26. 26

    They mounted up to the heavens and fell back to the depths; *
    their hearts melted because of their peril.

27. 27

    They reeled and staggered like drunkards *
    and were at their wits' end.

28. 28

    Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, *
    and he delivered them from their distress.

29. 29

    He stilled the storm to a whisper *
    and quieted the waves of the sea.

30. 30

    Then were they glad because of the calm, *
    and he brought them to the harbor they were bound for.

31. 31

    Let them give thanks to the LORD for his mercy *
    and the wonders he does for his children.

32. 32

    Let them exalt him in the congregation of the people *
    and praise him in the council of the elders.

33. 33

    The LORD changed rivers into deserts, *
    and water-springs into thirsty ground,

34. 34

    A fruitful land into salt flats, *
    because of the wickedness of those who dwell there.

35. 35

    He changed deserts into pools of water *
    and dry land into water-springs.

36. 36

    He settled the hungry there, *
    and they founded a city to dwell in.

37. 37

    They sowed fields, and planted vineyards, *
    and brought in a fruitful harvest.

38. 38

    He blessed them, so that they increased greatly; *
    he did not let their herds decrease.

39. 39

    Yet when they were diminished and brought low, *
    through stress of adversity and sorrow,

40. 40

    (He pours contempt on princes *
    and makes them wander in trackless wastes)

41. 41

    He lifted up the poor out of misery *
    and multiplied their families like flocks of sheep.

42. 42

    The upright will see this and rejoice, *
    but all wickedness will shut its mouth.

43. 43

    Whoever is wise will ponder these things, *
    and consider well the mercies of the LORD.
