CHAPTER 107

Give thanks

to the LORD,

for

He is good;

His loving devotion

endures forever.

Let the redeemed

of the LORD

say so,

whom

He has redeemed

from the hand

of the enemy

and gathered

from the lands,

from east

and west,

from north

and south.

Some wandered

in desert

wastelands,

finding

no

path

to a city

to dwell in.

They were hungry

and

thirsty;

their soul

fainted

within them.

Then they cried out

to

the LORD

in their trouble;

He delivered

them

from their distress.

He led them

on a straight

path

to reach

a city

where they could live.

Let them give thanks

to the LORD

for His loving devotion

and His wonders

to the sons

of men.

For

He satisfies

the thirsty

and fills

the hungry

with good things.

Some sat

in darkness

and in the shadow of death,

prisoners

in misery

and chains,

because

they rebelled

against the words

of God

and despised

the counsel

of the Most High.

He humbled

their hearts

with hard labor;

they stumbled,

and there was no

one to help.

Then they cried out

to

the LORD

in their trouble;

He saved

them

from their distress.

He brought them out

of darkness

and the shadow of death

and broke away their chains.

Let them give thanks

to the LORD

for His loving devotion

and His wonders

to the sons

of men.

For

He has broken down

the gates

of bronze

and cut through

the bars

of iron.

Fools,

in their rebellious

ways,

and through their iniquities,

suffered affliction.

They

loathed

all

food

and drew near

to

the gates

of death.

Then they cried out

to

the LORD

in their trouble;

He saved them

from their distress.

He sent forth

His word

and healed them;

He rescued them

from the Pit.

Let them give thanks

to the LORD

for His loving devotion

and His wonders

to the sons

of men.

Let them offer

sacrifices

of thanksgiving

and declare

His works

with rejoicing.

Others went

out to sea

in ships,

conducting

trade

on the mighty

waters.

They

saw

the works

of the LORD,

and His wonders

in the deep.

For He spoke

and raised

a tempest

that lifted

the waves

of the sea.

They mounted up

to the heavens,

they sunk

to the depths;

their courage

melted

in their anguish.

They reeled

and staggered

like drunkards,

and all

their skill

was useless.

Then they cried out

to

the LORD

in their trouble,

and He brought

them out

of their distress.

He calmed

the storm

to a whisper,

and the waves of the sea

were hushed.

They rejoiced

in

the silence

and He guided

them to

the harbor

they desired.

Let them give thanks

to the LORD

for His loving devotion

and His wonders

to the sons

of men.

Let them exalt

Him in the assembly

of the people

and praise Him

in the council

of the elders.

He turns

rivers

into deserts,

springs

of water

into thirsty ground,

fruitful

land

into fields of salt,

because of the wickedness

of its dwellers.

He turns

a desert

into pools

of water,

and a dry

land

into flowing springs.

He causes the hungry

to settle

there,

that they may establish

a city

to dwell.

They sow

fields

and plant

vineyards

that yield

a fruitful

harvest.

He blesses them,

and they multiply

greatly;

He does not

let their herds

diminish.

When they are decreased

and humbled

by oppression,

evil,

and sorrow,

He pours

contempt

on

the nobles

and makes them wander

a pathless

wasteland.

But He lifts

the needy

from affliction

and increases

their families

like flocks.

The upright

see

and rejoice,

and all

iniquity

shuts

its mouth.

Let him who

is wise

pay heed

to these things

and consider

the loving devotion

of the LORD.
