107:1
O give thanks[H3034] unto the LORD[H3068], for he is good[H2896]: for his mercy[H2617] endureth for ever[H5769].
107:2
Let the redeemed[H1350] of the LORD[H3068] say[H559] so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand[H3027] of the enemy[H6862];
107:3
And gathered[H6908] them out of the lands[H776], from the east[H4217], and from the west[H4628], from the north[H6828], and from the south[H3220].
107:4
They wandered[H8582] in the wilderness[H4057] in a solitary[H3452] way[H1870]; they found[H4672] no city[H5892] to dwell[H4186] in.
107:5
Hungry[H7457] and thirsty[H6771], their soul[H5315] fainted[H5848] in them.
107:6
Then they cried[H6817] unto the LORD[H3068] in their trouble[H6862], and he delivered[H5337] them out of their distresses[H4691].
107:7
And he led them forth[H1869] by the right[H3477] way[H1870], that they might go[H3212] to a city[H5892] of habitation[H4186].
107:8
Oh that men[H120] would praise[H3034] the LORD[H3068] for his goodness[H2617], and for his wonderful works[H6381] to the children[H1121] of men!
107:9
For he satisfieth[H7646] the longing[H8264] soul[H5315], and filleth[H4390] the hungry[H7457] soul with goodness[H2896].
107:10
Such as sit[H3427] in darkness[H2822] and in the shadow of death[H6757], being bound[H615] in affliction[H6040] and iron[H1270];
107:11
Because they rebelled[H4784] against the words[H561] of God[H410], and contemned[H5006] the counsel[H6098] of the most High[H5945]:
107:12
Therefore he brought down[H3665] their heart[H3820] with labour[H5999]; they fell down[H3782], and there was none to help[H5826].
107:13
Then they cried[H2199] unto the LORD[H3068] in their trouble[H6862], and he saved[H3467] them out of their distresses[H4691].
107:14
He brought them out[H3318] of darkness[H2822] and the shadow of death[H6757], and brake[H5423] their bands[H4147] in sunder[H5423].
107:15
Oh that men[H120] would praise[H3034] the LORD[H3068] for his goodness[H2617], and for his wonderful works[H6381] to the children[H1121] of men!
107:16
For he hath broken[H7665] the gates[H1817] of brass[H5178], and cut[H1438] the bars[H1280] of iron[H1270] in sunder[H1438].
107:17
Fools[H191] because[H1870] of their transgression[H6588], and because of their iniquities[H5771], are afflicted[H6031].
107:18
Their soul[H5315] abhorreth[H8581] all manner of meat[H400]; and they draw near[H5060] unto the gates[H8179] of death[H4194].
107:19
Then they cry[H2199] unto the LORD[H3068] in their trouble[H6862], and he saveth[H3467] them out of their distresses[H4691].
107:20
He sent[H7971] his word[H1697], and healed[H7495] them, and delivered[H4422] them from their destructions[H7825].
107:21
Oh that men[H120] would praise[H3034] the LORD[H3068] for his goodness[H2617], and for his wonderful works[H6381] to the children[H1121] of men!
107:22
And let them sacrifice[H2076] the sacrifices[H2077] of thanksgiving[H8426], and declare[H5608] his works[H4639] with rejoicing[H7440].
107:23
They that go down[H3381] to the sea[H3220] in ships[H591], that do[H6213] business[H4399] in great[H7227] waters[H4325];
107:24
These see[H7200] the works[H4639] of the LORD[H3068], and his wonders[H6381] in the deep[H4688].
107:25
For he commandeth[H559], and raiseth[H5975] the stormy[H5591] wind[H7307], which lifteth up[H7311] the waves[H1530] thereof.
107:26
They mount up[H5927] to the heaven[H8064], they go down[H3381] again to the depths[H8415]: their soul[H5315] is melted[H4127] because of trouble[H7451].
107:27
They reel to and fro[H2287], and stagger[H5128] like a drunken man[H7910], and are at their wits'[H2451] end[H1104].
107:28
Then they cry[H6817] unto the LORD[H3068] in their trouble[H6862], and he bringeth them out[H3318] of their distresses[H4691].
107:29
He maketh[H6965] the storm[H5591] a calm[H1827], so that the waves[H1530] thereof are still[H2814].
107:30
Then are they glad[H8055] because they be quiet[H8367]; so he bringeth[H5148] them unto their desired[H2656] haven[H4231].
107:31
Oh that men[H120] would praise[H3034] the LORD[H3068] for his goodness[H2617], and for his wonderful works[H6381] to the children[H1121] of men!
107:32
Let them exalt[H7311] him also in the congregation[H6951] of the people[H5971], and praise[H1984] him in the assembly[H4186] of the elders[H2205].
107:33
He turneth[H7760] rivers[H5104] into a wilderness[H4057], and the watersprings[H4325] into dry ground[H6774];
107:34
A fruitful[H6529] land[H776] into barrenness[H4420], for the wickedness[H7451] of them that dwell[H3427] therein.
107:35
He turneth[H7760] the wilderness[H4057] into a standing[H98] water[H4325], and dry[H6723] ground[H776] into watersprings[H4325].
107:36
And there he maketh the hungry[H7457] to dwell[H3427], that they may prepare[H3559] a city[H5892] for habitation[H4186];
107:37
And sow[H2232] the fields[H7704], and plant[H5193] vineyards[H3754], which may yield[H6213] fruits[H6529] of increase[H8393].
107:38
He blesseth[H1288] them also, so that they are multiplied[H7235] greatly[H3966]; and suffereth[H4591] not their cattle[H929] to decrease[H4591].
107:39
Again, they are minished[H4591] and brought low[H7817] through oppression[H6115], affliction[H7451], and sorrow[H3015].
107:40
He poureth[H8210] contempt[H937] upon princes[H5081], and causeth them to wander[H8582] in the wilderness[H8414], where there is no way[H1870].
107:41
Yet setteth he the poor[H34] on high[H7682] from affliction[H6040], and maketh[H7760] him families[H4940] like a flock[H6629].
107:42
The righteous[H3477] shall see[H7200] it, and rejoice[H8055]: and all iniquity[H5766] shall stop[H7092] her mouth[H6310].
107:43
Whoso is wise[H2450], and will observe[H8104] these things, even they shall understand[H995] the lovingkindness[H2617] of the LORD[H3068].
