Psalms 107 KJV

¹O give thanks unto the LORD, for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. God

²Let the redeemed of the LORD say [so], whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; God

³And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.

⁴They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.

⁵Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

⁶Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he delivered them out of their distresses. God

⁷And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

⁸Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men! God

⁹For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

¹⁰Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, [being] bound in affliction and iron;

¹¹Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High: God

¹²Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and [there was] none to help.

¹³Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he saved them out of their distresses. God

¹⁴He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.

¹⁵Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men! God

¹⁶For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

¹⁷Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

¹⁸Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.

¹⁹Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he saveth them out of their distresses. God

²⁰He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered [them] from their destructions.

²¹Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men! God

²²And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.

²³They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;

²⁴These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. God

²⁵For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.

²⁶They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

²⁷They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.

²⁸Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. God

²⁹He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

³⁰Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

³¹Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men! God

³²Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

³³He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;

³⁴A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

³⁵He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.

³⁶And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;

³⁷And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.

³⁸He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

³⁹Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

⁴⁰He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, [where there is] no way.

⁴¹Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh [him] families like a flock.

⁴²The righteous shall see [it], and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

⁴³Whoso [is] wise, and will observe these [things], even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD. God
