107:1 Oh
give
thanks
to
the
LORD,
for
he
is
good,
for
his
steadfast
love
endures
forever!
107:2 Let
the
redeemed
of
the
LORD
say
so,
whom
he
has
redeemed
from
trouble
107:3 and
gathered
in
from
the
lands,
from
the
east
and
from
the
west,
from
the
north
and
from
the
south.
107:4 Some
wandered
in
desert
wastes,
finding
no
way
to
a
city
to
dwell
in;
107:5 hungry
and
thirsty,
their
soul
fainted
within
them.
107:6 Then
they
cried
to
the
LORD
in
their
trouble,
and
he
delivered
them
from
their
distress.
107:7 He
led
them
by
a
straight
way
till
they
reached
a
city
to
dwell
in.
107:8 Let
them
thank
the
LORD
for
his
steadfast
love,
for
his
wondrous
works
to
the
children
of
man!
107:9 For
he
satisfies
the
longing
soul,
and
the
hungry
soul
he
fills
with
good
things.
107:10 Some
sat
in
darkness
and
in
the
shadow
of
death,
prisoners
in
affliction
and
in
irons,
107:11 for
they
had
rebelled
against
the
words
of
God,
and
spurned
the
counsel
of
the
Most
High.
107:12 So
he
bowed
their
hearts
down
with
hard
labor;
they
fell
down,
with
none
to
help.
107:13 Then
they
cried
to
the
LORD
in
their
trouble,
and
he
delivered
them
from
their
distress.
107:14 He
brought
them
out
of
darkness
and
the
shadow
of
death,
and
burst
their
bonds
apart.
107:15 Let
them
thank
the
LORD
for
his
steadfast
love,
for
his
wondrous
works
to
the
children
of
man!
107:16 For
he
shatters
the
doors
of
bronze
and
cuts
in
two
the
bars
of
iron.
107:17 Some
were
fools
through
their
sinful
ways,
and
because
of
their
iniquities
suffered
affliction;
107:18 they
loathed
any
kind
of
food,
and
they
drew
near
to
the
gates
of
death.
107:19 Then
they
cried
to
the
LORD
in
their
trouble,
and
he
delivered
them
from
their
distress.
107:20 He
sent
out
his
word
and
healed
them,
and
delivered
them
from
their
destruction.
107:21 Let
them
thank
the
LORD
for
his
steadfast
love,
for
his
wondrous
works
to
the
children
of
man!
107:22 And
let
them
offer
sacrifices
of
thanksgiving,
and
tell
of
his
deeds
in
songs
of
joy!
107:23 Some
went
down
to
the
sea
in
ships,
doing
business
on
the
great
waters;
107:24 they
saw
the
deeds
of
the
LORD,
his
wondrous
works
in
the
deep.
107:25 For
he
commanded
and
raised
the
stormy
wind,
which
lifted
up
the
waves
of
the
sea.
107:26 They
mounted
up
to
heaven;
they
went
down
to
the
depths;
their
courage
melted
away
in
their
evil
plight;
107:27 they
reeled
and
staggered
like
drunken
men
and
were
at
their
wits'
end.
107:28 Then
they
cried
to
the
LORD
in
their
trouble,
and
he
delivered
them
from
their
distress.
107:29 He
made
the
storm
be
still,
and
the
waves
of
the
sea
were
hushed.
107:30 Then
they
were
glad
that
the
waters
were
quiet,
and
he
brought
them
to
their
desired
haven.
107:31 Let
them
thank
the
LORD
for
his
steadfast
love,
for
his
wondrous
works
to
the
children
of
man!
107:32 Let
them
extol
him
in
the
congregation
of
the
people,
and
praise
him
in
the
assembly
of
the
elders.
107:33 He
turns
rivers
into
a
desert,
springs
of
water
into
thirsty
ground,
107:34 a
fruitful
land
into
a
salty
waste,
because
of
the
evil
of
its
inhabitants.
107:35 He
turns
a
desert
into
pools
of
water,
a
parched
land
into
springs
of
water.
107:36 And
there
he
lets
the
hungry
dwell,
and
they
establish
a
city
to
live
in;
107:37 they
sow
fields
and
plant
vineyards
and
get
a
fruitful
yield.
107:38 By
his
blessing
they
multiply
greatly,
and
he
does
not
let
their
livestock
diminish.
107:39 When
they
are
diminished
and
brought
low
through
oppression,
evil,
and
sorrow,
107:40 he
pours
contempt
on
princes
and
makes
them
wander
in
trackless
wastes;
107:41 but
he
raises
up
the
needy
out
of
affliction
and
makes
their
families
like
flocks.
107:42 The
upright
see
it
and
are
glad,
and
all
wickedness
shuts
its
mouth.
107:43 Whoever
is
wise,
let
him
attend
to
these
things;
let
them
consider
the
steadfast
love
of
the
LORD.
