Psalm 107
Revised Geneva Translation
107 Praise the LORD, because He is good; for His mercy endures forever.
2 Let those who have been redeemed by the LORD show how He has delivered them from the hand of the oppressor—
3 and gathered them out of the lands—from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
4 They wandered in the desert wilderness, out of the way, and found no city to dwell in.
5 Both hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble. He delivered them from their distress
7 and led them forth by the right way, so that they might go to a city of habitation.
8 Let them confess, before the LORD, His lovingkindness and His wonderful works before the sons of men.
9 For He satisfied the thirsty soul and filled the hungry soul with goodness.
10 Those who dwell in darkness and in the shadow of death (being bound in misery and iron
11 because they rebelled against the words of the LORD and despised the counsel of the Most High
12 when He humbled their heart with heaviness), they fell down; and there was no helper.
13 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble. He delivered them from their distress.
14 He brought them out of darkness, and the shadow of death, and broke their bands apart.
15 Let them confess, before the LORD, His lovingkindness, and his wonderful works, before the sons of men.
16 For He has broken the gates of brass and burst the bars of iron apart.
17 Fools, by reason of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
18 Their soul abhors all food, and they are brought to death’s door.
19 Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble. He delivers them from their distress.
20 He sends His Word and heals them and delivers them from their graves.
21 Let them confess, before the LORD, His lovingkindness, and His wonderful works before the sons of men.
22 And let them offer sacrifices of praise and declare His works with rejoicing.
23 Those who go down to the sea in ships, occupying by the great waters,
24 they see the works of the LORD, and His wonders, in the deep.
25 For He commands and raises the stormy wind; and it lifts up the waves thereof.
26 They mount up to the heaven, descend to the deep, so that their soul melts for trouble.
27 They are tossed to and fro and stagger like a drunken man. And all their cunning is gone.
28 Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, and He brings them out of their distress.
29 He turns the storm to calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
30 When they are quieted, they are glad; and He brings them to the haven where they wish to be.
31 Let them confess, before the LORD, His lovingkindness, and His wonderful works before the sons of men.
32 And let them exalt Him in the congregation of the people and praise Him in the assembly of the elders.
33 He turns the floods to a wilderness, the springs of waters into dryness,
34 a fruitful land into barrenness, because of the wickedness of those who dwell therein.
35 He turns the wilderness into pools of water, and the dry land into water springs.
36 And there He places the hungry; and they build a city in which to dwell,
37 and sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which bring forth fruitful increase.
38 For He blesses them, and they multiply exceedingly; and He does not diminish their cattle.
39 Again, they are diminished and brought low by oppression, evil and sorrow.
40 He pours contempt upon princes and causes them to err in desert places, out of the way.
41 Yet he raises up the poor out of misery and makes families, like a flock of sheep.
42 The righteous shall see it and rejoice; and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43 Who is wise? Let him observe these things and understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
