107:1 |
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
|
107:2 |
Let the redeemed of the LORD say this-- those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,
|
107:3 |
those he gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south.
|
107:4 |
Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no way to a city where they could settle.
|
107:5 |
They were hungry and thirsty, and their lives ebbed away.
|
107:6 |
Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.
|
107:7 |
He led them by a straight way to a city where they could settle.
|
107:8 |
Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men,
|
107:9 |
for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
|
107:10 |
Some sat in darkness and the deepest gloom, prisoners suffering in iron chains,
|
107:11 |
for they had rebelled against the words of God and despised the counsel of the Most High.
|
107:12 |
So he subjected them to bitter labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help.
|
107:13 |
Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.
|
107:14 |
He brought them out of darkness and the deepest gloom and broke away their chains.
|
107:15 |
Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men,
|
107:16 |
for he breaks down gates of bronze and cuts through bars of iron.
|
107:17 |
Some became fools through their rebellious ways and suffered affliction because of their iniquities.
|
107:18 |
They loathed all food and drew near the gates of death.
|
107:19 |
Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.
|
107:20 |
He sent forth his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.
|
107:21 |
Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men.
|
107:22 |
Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of his works with songs of joy.
|
107:23 |
Others went out on the sea in ships; they were merchants on the mighty waters.
|
107:24 |
They saw the works of the LORD, his wonderful deeds in the deep.
|
107:25 |
For he spoke and stirred up a tempest that lifted high the waves.
|
107:26 |
They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths; in their peril their courage melted away.
|
107:27 |
They reeled and staggered like drunken men; they were at their wits' end.
|
107:28 |
Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress.
|
107:29 |
He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed.
|
107:30 |
They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven.
|
107:31 |
Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men.
|
107:32 |
Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people and praise him in the council of the elders.
|
107:33 |
He turned rivers into a desert, flowing springs into thirsty ground,
|
107:34 |
and fruitful land into a salt waste, because of the wickedness of those who lived there.
|
107:35 |
He turned the desert into pools of water and the parched ground into flowing springs;
|
107:36 |
there he brought the hungry to live, and they founded a city where they could settle.
|
107:37 |
They sowed fields and planted vineyards that yielded a fruitful harvest;
|
107:38 |
he blessed them, and their numbers greatly increased, and he did not let their herds diminish.
|
107:39 |
Then their numbers decreased, and they were humbled by oppression, calamity and sorrow;
|
107:40 |
he who pours contempt on nobles made them wander in a trackless waste.
|
107:41 |
But he lifted the needy out of their affliction and increased their families like flocks.
|
107:42 |
The upright see and rejoice, but all the wicked shut their mouths.
|
107:43 |
Whoever is wise, let him heed these things and consider the great love of the LORD.
