The Psalms (WEB)
Psalm 107
107:1Give thanks to Yahweh,
For he is good,
For his lovingkindness endures forever.
107:2Let the redeemed by Yahweh say so,
Whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
107:3Gathered out of the lands,
From the east and from the west,
From the north and from the south.
107:4They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way.
They found no city to live in.
107:5Hungry and thirsty,
Their soul fainted in them.
107:6Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble,
And he delivered them out of their distresses,
107:7He led them also by a straight way,
That they might go to a city to live in.
107:8Let them praise Yahweh for his lovingkindness,
For his wonderful works to the children of men!
107:9For he satisfies the longing soul.
He fills the hungry soul with good.
107:10Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
Being bound in affliction and iron,
107:11Because they rebelled against the words of God,
And condemned the counsel of the Most High.
107:12Therefore he brought down their heart with labor.
They fell down, and there was none to help.
107:13Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble,
And he saved them out of their distresses.
107:14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
And broke their bonds in sunder.
107:15Let them praise Yahweh for his lovingkindness,
For his wonderful works to the children of men!
107:16For he has broken the gates of brass,
And cut through bars of iron.
107:17Fools are afflicted because of their disobedience,
And because of their iniquities.
107:18Their soul abhors all kinds of food.
They draw near to the gates of death.
107:19Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble,
He saves them out of their distresses.
107:20He sends his word, and heals them,
And delivers them from their graves.
107:21Let them praise Yahweh for his lovingkindness,
For his wonderful works to the children of men!
107:22Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving,
And declare his works with singing.
107:23Those who go down to the sea in ships,
Who do business in great waters;
107:24These see Yahweh's works,
And his wonders in the deep.
107:25For he commands, and raises the stormy wind,
Which lifts up its waves.
107:26They mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths.
Their soul melts away because of trouble.
107:27They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man,
And are at their wits' end.
107:28Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble,
He brings them out of their distress.
107:29He makes the storm a calm,
So that its waves are still.
107:30Then are they glad because it is calm,
So he brings them to their desired haven.
107:31Let them praise Yahweh for his lovingkindness,
For his wonderful works to the children of men!
107:32Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people,
And praise him in the seat of the elders.
107:33He turns rivers into a desert,
Water springs into a thirsty ground,
107:34And a fruitful land into a salt waste,
For the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
107:35He turns a desert into a pool of water,
And a dry land into water springs.
107:36There he makes the hungry to live,
That they may prepare a city to live in,
107:37Sow fields, plant vineyards,
And reap the fruits of increase.
107:38He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly.
He doesn't allow their cattle to decrease.
107:39Again, they are diminished and bowed down
Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
107:40He pours contempt on princes,
And causes them to wander in a trackless waste.
107:41Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction,
And increases their families like a flock.
107:42The upright will see it, and be glad.
All the wicked will shut their mouths.
107:43Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things.
They will consider the lovingkindnesses of Yahweh.
