­PSA 107:1  O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth

 for ever.

 

­PSA 107:2  Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the

 hand of the enemy;

 

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

 west, from the north, and from the south.

 

­PSA 107:4  They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no

 city to dwell in.

 

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

 

­PSA 107:6  Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered

 them out of their distresses.

 

­PSA 107:7  And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city

 of habitation.

 

­PSA 107:8  Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his

 wonderful works to the children of men!

 

­PSA 107:9  For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with

 goodness.

 

­PSA 107:10  Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in

 affliction and iron;

 

­PSA 107:11  Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the

 counsel of the most High:

 

­PSA 107:12  Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell

 down, and there was none to help.

 

­PSA 107:13  Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them

 out of their distresses.

 

­PSA 107:14  He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake

 their bands in sunder.

 

­PSA 107:15  Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his

 wonderful works to the children of men!

 

­PSA 107:16  For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in

 sunder.

 

­PSA 107:17  Fools because of their transgression, and because of their

 iniquities, are afflicted.

 

­PSA 107:18  Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto

 the gates of death.

 

­PSA 107:19  Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them

 out of their distresses.

 

­PSA 107:20  He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their

 destructions.

 

­PSA 107:21  Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his

 wonderful works to the children of men!

 

­PSA 107:22  And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare

 his works with rejoicing.

 

­PSA 107:23  They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great

 waters;

 

­PSA 107:24  These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.

 

­PSA 107:25  For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up

 the waves thereof.

 

­PSA 107:26  They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths:

 their soul is melted because of trouble.

 

­PSA 107:27  They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at

 their wit's end.

 

­PSA 107:28  Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them

 out of their distresses.

 

­PSA 107:29  He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

 

­PSA 107:30  Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto

 their desired haven.

 

­PSA 107:31  Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his

 wonderful works to the children of men!

 

­PSA 107:32  Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and

 praise him in the assembly of the elders.

 

­PSA 107:33  He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry

 ground;

 

­PSA 107:34  A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that

 dwell therein.

 

­PSA 107:35  He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground

 into watersprings.

 

­PSA 107:36  And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a

 city for habitation;

 

­PSA 107:37  And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of

 increase.

 

­PSA 107:38  He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and

 suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

 

­PSA 107:39  Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression,

 affliction, and sorrow.

 

­PSA 107:40  He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the

 wilderness, where there is no way.

 

­PSA 107:41  Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him

 families like a flock.

 

­PSA 107:42  The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall

 stop her mouth.

 

­PSA 107:43  Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall

 understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
