Psalm 107:4-32

New International Version

⁴Some wandered in desert^(A) wastelands,
    finding no way to a city^(B) where they could settle.
⁵They were hungry^(C) and thirsty,^(D)
    and their lives ebbed away.
⁶Then they cried out^(E) to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he delivered them from their distress.
⁷He led them by a straight way^(F)
    to a city^(G) where they could settle.
⁸Let them give thanks^(H) to the Lord for his unfailing love^(I)
    and his wonderful deeds^(J) for mankind,
⁹for he satisfies^(K) the thirsty
    and fills the hungry with good things.^(L)

¹⁰Some sat in darkness,^(M) in utter darkness,
    prisoners suffering^(N) in iron chains,^(O)
¹¹because they rebelled^(P) against God’s commands
    and despised^(Q) the plans^(R) of the Most High.
¹²So he subjected them to bitter labor;
    they stumbled, and there was no one to help.^(S)
¹³Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he saved them^(T) from their distress.
¹⁴He brought them out of darkness,^(U) the utter darkness,^(V)
    and broke away their chains.^(W)
¹⁵Let them give thanks^(X) to the Lord for his unfailing love^(Y)
    and his wonderful deeds^(Z) for mankind,
¹⁶for he breaks down gates of bronze
    and cuts through bars of iron.

¹⁷Some became fools^(AA) through their rebellious ways^(AB)
    and suffered affliction^(AC) because of their iniquities.
¹⁸They loathed all food^(AD)
    and drew near the gates of death.^(AE)
¹⁹Then they cried^(AF) to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he saved them^(AG) from their distress.
²⁰He sent out his word^(AH) and healed them;^(AI)
    he rescued^(AJ) them from the grave.^(AK)
²¹Let them give thanks^(AL) to the Lord for his unfailing love^(AM)
    and his wonderful deeds^(AN) for mankind.
²²Let them sacrifice thank offerings^(AO)
    and tell of his works^(AP) with songs of joy.^(AQ)

²³Some went out on the sea^(AR) in ships;^(AS)
    they were merchants on the mighty waters.
²⁴They saw the works of the Lord,^(AT)
    his wonderful deeds in the deep.
²⁵For he spoke^(AU) and stirred up a tempest^(AV)
    that lifted high the waves.^(AW)
²⁶They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths;
    in their peril^(AX) their courage melted^(AY) away.
²⁷They reeled^(AZ) and staggered like drunkards;
    they were at their wits’ end.
²⁸Then they cried^(BA) out to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he brought them out of their distress.^(BB)

    the waves^(BD) of the sea^[a] were hushed.^(BE)
³⁰They were glad when it grew calm,
    and he guided them^(BF) to their desired haven.
³¹Let them give thanks^(BG) to the Lord for his unfailing love^(BH)
    and his wonderful deeds^(BI) for mankind.

    and praise him in the council of the elders.
