| 107:1 | Thanksgiving to the LORD for His Great Works of Deliverance 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. |
