Psalms - Chapter 107 | American Standard Version

  • 1. O give thanks unto Jehovah; For he is good; For his lovingkindness {cf15i endureth} for ever.
  • 2. Let the redeemed of Jehovah say {cf15i so}, Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
  • 3. And gathered 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 desert way; They found no city of habitation.
  • 5. Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them.
  • 6. Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distresses,
  • 7. He led them also by a straight way, That they might go to a city of habitation.
  • 8. Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
  • 9. For he satisfieth the longing soul, And the hungry soul he filleth with good.
  • 10. Such as sat 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 labor; They fell down, and there was none to help.
  • 13. Then they cried unto Jehovah 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 bonds in sunder.
  • 15. Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, 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 food; And they draw near unto the gates of death.
  • 19. Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he saveth them out of their distresses.
  • 20. He sendeth his word, and healeth them, And delivereth {cf15i them} from their destructions.
  • 21. Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
  • 22. And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare his works with singing.
  • 23. They that go down to the sea in ships, That do business in great waters;
  • 24. These see the works of Jehovah, 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 heavens, they go down again to the depths: Their soul melteth away 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 Jehovah 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 are quiet; So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
  • 31. Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
  • 32. Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, And praise him in the seat of the elders.
  • 33. He turneth rivers into a wilderness, And watersprings into a thirsty ground;
  • 34. A fruitful land into a salt desert, For the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
  • 35. He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water, And a dry land into watersprings.
  • 36. And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, That they may prepare a city of habitation,
  • 37. And sow fields, and plant vineyards, And get them fruits of increase.
  • 38. He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; And he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
  • 39. Again, they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
  • 40. He poureth contempt upon princes, And causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.
  • 41. Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction, And maketh {cf15i him} families like a flock.
  • 42. The upright shall see it, and be glad; And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
  • 43. Whoso is wise will give heed to these things; And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah.
