107:1 |
O give thanks to the LORD, for [he is] good; for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
|
107:2 |
Let the redeemed of the LORD say [so], whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
|
107:3 |
And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
|
107:4 |
They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
|
107:5 |
Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
|
107:6 |
Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, [and] he delivered them out of their distresses.
|
107:7 |
And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
|
107:8 |
Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
|
107:9 |
For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
|
107:10 |
Such as sit in darkness and in the shades of death, [being] bound in affliction and iron;
|
107:11 |
Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the Most High:
|
107:12 |
Therefore he brought down their heart with labor; they fell down, and [there was] none to help.
|
107:13 |
Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, [and] he saved them out of their distresses.
|
107:14 |
He brought them out of darkness and the shades of death, and broke their bands asunder.
|
107:15 |
Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
|
107:16 |
For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron asunder.
|
107:17 |
Fools, because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
|
107:18 |
Their soul abhorreth all manner of food; and they draw near to the gates of death.
|
107:19 |
Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, he saveth them out of their distresses.
|
107:20 |
He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered [them] from their destructions.
|
107:21 |
Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
|
107:22 |
And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
|
107:23 |
They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business on great waters;
|
107:24 |
These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.
|
107:25 |
For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up its waves.
|
107:26 |
They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
|
107:27 |
They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end.
|
107:28 |
Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
|
107:29 |
He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves [of the sea] are still.
|
107:30 |
Then are they glad because they are quiet; so he bringeth them to their desired haven.
|
107:31 |
Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
|
107:32 |
Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
|
107:33 |
He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the water-springs into dry ground;
|
107:34 |
A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell in it.
|
107:35 |
He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into water-springs.
|
107:36 |
And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
|
107:37 |
And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
|
107:38 |
He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
|
107:39 |
Again, they are diminished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
|
107:40 |
He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, [where there is] no way.
|
107:41 |
Yet he setteth the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.
|
107:42 |
The righteous shall see [it], and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
|
107:43 |
Whoever [is] wise, and will observe these [things], even they shall understand the loving-kindness of the LORD.
