PS-107:1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for [he is] good: for his

mercy

[endureth] for ever.

PS-107:2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say [so], whom he hath

redeemed from the

hand of the enemy;

PS-107:3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and

from the west,

from the north, and from the south.

PS-107:4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they

found no city

to dwell in.

PS-107:5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

PS-107:6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and]

he delivered

them out of their distresses.

PS-107:7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might

go to a city

of habitation.

PS-107:8 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness,

and [for] his

wonderful works to the children of men!

PS-107:9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the

hungry soul with

goodness.

PS-107:10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,

[being] bound in

affliction and iron;

PS-107:11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and

contemned the

counsel of the most High:

PS-107:12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour;

they fell down,

and [there was] none to help.

PS-107:13 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and]

he saved them

out of their distresses.

PS-107:14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of

death, and brake

their bands in sunder.

PS-107:15 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness,

 and [for]

his wonderful works to the children of men!

PS-107:16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the

bars of iron in

sunder.

PS-107:17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of

their

iniquities, are afflicted.

PS-107:18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw

near unto the

gates of death.

PS-107:19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he

saveth them

out of their distresses.

PS-107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered

[them] from their

destructions.

PS-107:21 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness,

 and [for]

his wonderful works to the children of men!

PS-107:22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving,

and declare

his works with rejoicing.

PS-107:23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do

business in great

waters;

PS-107:24 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in

the deep.

PS-107:25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which

lifteth up the

waves thereof.

PS-107:26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the

depths: their

soul is melted because of trouble.

PS-107:27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,

and are at

their wit's end.

PS-107:28 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he

bringeth them

out of their distresses.

PS-107:29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof

are still.

PS-107:30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he

bringeth them unto

their desired haven.

PS-107:31 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness,

 and [for]

his wonderful works to the children of men!

PS-107:32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the

people, and

praise him in the assembly of the elders.

PS-107:33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the

watersprings into dry

ground;

PS-107:34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of

them that

dwell therein.

PS-107:35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and

dry ground into

watersprings.

PS-107:36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may

prepare a

city for habitation;

PS-107:37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may

yield fruits of

increase.

PS-107:38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied

greatly; and

suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

PS-107:39 Again, they are minished and brought low through

oppression,

affliction, and sorrow.

PS-107:40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to

wander in the

wilderness, [where there is] no way.

PS-107:41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and

maketh [him]

families like a flock.

PS-107:42 The righteous shall see [it], and rejoice: and all

iniquity shall

stop her mouth.

PS-107:43 Whoso [is] wise, and will observe these [things], even

they shall

understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
