Psalms - Chapter 107 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. O give thanks unto the LORD, for {cf15I he is} good: for his mercy {cf15I endureth} for ever.
  • 2. Let the redeemed of the LORD say {cf15I 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, {cf15I 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 {cf15I men} would praise the LORD {cf15I for} his goodness, and {cf15I 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, {cf15I 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 {cf15I there was} none to help.
  • 13. Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, {cf15I 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 {cf15I men} would praise the LORD {cf15I for} his goodness, and {cf15I 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, {cf15I and} he saveth them out of their distresses.
  • 20. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered {cf15I them} from their destructions.
  • 21. Oh that {cf15I men} would praise the LORD {cf15I for} his goodness, and {cf15I 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 {cf15I men} would praise the LORD {cf15I for} his goodness, and {cf15I 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, {cf15I where there is} no way.
  • 41. Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh {cf15I him} families like a flock.
  • 42. The righteous shall see {cf15I it}, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
  • 43. Whoso {cf15I is} wise, and will observe these {cf15I things}, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
