Psalms - Chapter 107 | New King James Version

  • 1. Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
  • 2. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,
  • 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 desolate way; They found no city to dwell in.
  • 5. Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them.
  • 6. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, 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 for a dwelling place.
  • 8. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
  • 9. For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness.
  • 10. Those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Bound in affliction and irons--
  • 11. Because they rebelled against the words of God, And despised 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 out to the Lord in their trouble, And He saved them out of their distresses.
  • 14. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And broke their chains in pieces.
  • 15. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
  • 16. For He has broken the gates of bronze, And cut the bars of iron in two.
  • 17. Fools, because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.
  • 18. Their soul abhorred all manner of food, And they drew near to the gates of death.
  • 19. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, And He saved them out of their distresses.
  • 20. He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.
  • 21. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
  • 22. Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare His works with rejoicing.
  • 23. Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business on great waters,
  • 24. They see the works of the Lord, And His wonders in the deep.
  • 25. For He commands and raises the stormy wind, Which lifts up the waves of the sea.
  • 26. They mount up to the heavens, They go down again to the depths; Their soul melts 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 out to the Lord in their trouble, And He brings them out of their distresses.
  • 29. He calms the storm, So that its waves are still.
  • 30. Then they are glad because they are quiet; So He guides them to their desired haven.
  • 31. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, 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 company of the elders.
  • 33. He turns rivers into a wilderness, And the watersprings into dry ground;
  • 34. A fruitful land into barrenness, For the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
  • 35. He turns a wilderness into pools of water, And dry land into watersprings.
  • 36. There He makes the hungry dwell, That they may establish a city for a dwelling place,
  • 37. And sow fields and plant vineyards, That they may yield a fruitful harvest.
  • 38. He also blesses them, and they multiply greatly; And He does not let their cattle decrease.
  • 39. When they are diminished and brought low Through oppression, affliction and sorrow,
  • 40. He pours contempt on princes, And causes them to wander in the wilderness where there is no way;
  • 41. Yet He sets the poor on high, far from affliction, And makes their families like a flock.
  • 42. The righteous see it and rejoice, And all iniquity stops its mouth.
  • 43. Whoever is wise will observe these things, And they will understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.
