Book V

(Psalms 107–150)

Psalm 107

Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Many Troubles

O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
    for his steadfast love endures forever.(A)
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
    those he redeemed from trouble(B)
and gathered in from the lands,
    from the east and from the west,
    from the north and from the south.[a](C)

Some wandered in desert wastes,
    finding no way to an inhabited town;(D)
hungry and thirsty,
    their soul fainted within them.
Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he delivered them from their distress;(E)
he led them by a straight way,
    until they reached an inhabited town.(F)

  1. 107.3 Cn: Heb sea

33 He turns rivers into a desert,
    springs of water into thirsty ground,(A)
34 a fruitful land into a salty waste,
    because of the wickedness of its inhabitants.(B)
35 He turns a desert into pools of water,
    a parched land into springs of water.(C)
36 And there he lets the hungry live,
    and they establish a town to live in;
37 they sow fields and plant vineyards
    and get a fruitful yield.(D)
