107:1  Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.

107:2  Let the redeemed of the LORD say so,
Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,

107:3  And gathered 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 desolate way;
They found no city to dwell in.

107:5  Hungry and thirsty,
Their soul fainted in them.

107:6  Then they cried out 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 for a dwelling place.

107:8  Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!

107:9  For He satisfies the longing soul,
And fills the hungry soul with goodness.

107:10  Those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
Bound in affliction and irons'

107:11  Because they rebelled against the words of God,
And despised 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 out to the LORD in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses.

107:14  He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
And broke their chains in pieces.

107:15  Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!

107:16  For He has broken the gates of bronze,
And cut the bars of iron in two.

107:17  Fools, because of their transgression,
And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.

107:18  Their soul abhorred all manner of food,
And they drew near to the gates of death.

107:19  Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,
And He saved 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 give thanks to the LORD for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!

107:22  Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving,
And declare His works with rejoicing.

107:23  Those who go down to the sea in ships,
Who do business on great waters,

107:24  They see the works of the LORD,
And His wonders in the deep.

107:25  For He commands and raises the stormy wind,
Which lifts up the waves of the sea.

107:26  They mount up to the heavens,
They go down again to the depths;
Their soul melts because of trouble.

107:27  They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,
And are at their wits’ end.

107:28  Then they cry out to the LORD in their trouble,
And He brings them out of their distresses.

107:29  He calms the storm,
So that its waves are still.

107:30  Then they are glad because they are quiet;
So He guides them to their desired haven.

107:31  Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!

107:32  Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people,
And praise Him in the company of the elders.

107:33  He turns rivers into a wilderness,
And the watersprings into dry ground;

107:34  A fruitful land into barrenness,
For the wickedness of those who dwell in it.

107:35  He turns a wilderness into pools of water,
And dry land into watersprings.

107:36  There He makes the hungry dwell,
That they may establish a city for a dwelling place,

107:37  And sow fields and plant vineyards,
That they may yield a fruitful harvest.

107:38  He also blesses them, and they multiply greatly;
And He does not let their cattle decrease.

107:39  When they are diminished and brought low
Through oppression, affliction, and sorrow,

107:40  He pours contempt on princes,
And causes them to wander in the wilderness where there is no way;

107:41  Yet He sets the poor on high, far from affliction,
And makes their families like a flock.

107:42  The righteous see it and rejoice,
And all iniquity stops its mouth.

107:43  Whoever is wise will observe these things,
And they will understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
