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