107:1  Oh give thanks to the LORD, for we acknowledge His goodness,For His lovingkindness extends eternally.

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

107:3  And gathered from 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 desert region; They did not find a way to an inhabited city.

107:5  They felt hungry and thirsty; Their soul fainted within them.

107:6  Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; He delivered them out of their distresses.

107:7  He led them also by a straight way, To go to an inhabited city.

107:8   Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!

107:9  For He has satisfied the thirsty soul, And the hungry soul He has filled with goodness.

107:10  There lived those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death, Prisoners in misery and chains,

107:11  Because they had rebelled against the words of God And spurned the counsel of the Most High.

107:12  Therefore He humbled their heart with labor;They stumbled and no one helped.

107:13  Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses.

107:14  He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death And broke their bands apart.

107:15   Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!

107:16  For He has shattered gates of bronze And cut bars of iron asunder.

107:17  Fools, because of their rebellious way, And because of their iniquities, suffered affliction.

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

107:19  Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses.

107:20  He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.

107:21   Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!

107:22  Let them also offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, And tell of His works with joyful singing.

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

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

107:25  For He spoke and raised up a stormy wind, Which lifted up the waves of the sea.

107:26  They rose up to the heavens, they went down to the depths; Their soul melted away in their misery.

107:27  They reeled and staggered like a drunken man, And felt at their wits' end.

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

107:29  He caused the storm to cease, So that the waves of the sea quieted.

107:30  Then they felt glad because they quieted themselves, So He guided them to their desired haven.

107:31   Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!

107:32  Let them extol Him also in the congregation of the people, And praise Him at the seat of the elders.

107:33  He changes rivers into a wilderness And springs of water into a thirsty ground;

107:34  A fruitful land into a salt waste, Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it.

107:35  He changes a wilderness into a pool of water And a dry land into springs of water;

107:36  And there He makes the hungry to dwell, So that they may establish an inhabited city,

107:37  And sow fields and plant vineyards, And gather a fruitful harvest.

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

107:39  When they suffer loss and become bowed down Through oppression, misery and sorrow,

107:40  He pours contempt upon princes And makes them wander in a pathless waste.

107:41  But He sets the needy securely on high away from affliction, And makes his families like a flock.

107:42  The upright see it and receive gladness; But all unrighteousness shuts its mouth.

107:43  Who has wisdom? Let him give heed to these things, And consider the lovingkindnesses of the LORD.
