Psalm 107

American Standard Version 1901 (ASV) · Public domain · 43 verses

1. ¹O give thanks unto Jehovah; For he is good; For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever.
2. ²Let the redeemed of Jehovah say [so], Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
3. ³And gathered out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.
4. ⁴They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; They found no city of habitation.
5. ⁵Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them.
6. ⁶Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distresses,
7. ⁷He led them also by a straight way, That they might go to a city of habitation.
8. ⁸Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9. ⁹For he satisfieth the longing soul, And the hungry soul he filleth with good.
10. ¹⁰Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron,
11. ¹¹Because they rebelled against the words of God, And contemned the counsel of the Most High:
12. ¹²Therefore he brought down their heart with labor; They fell down, and there was none to help.
13. ¹³Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he saved them out of their distresses.
14. ¹⁴He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And brake their bonds in sunder.
15. ¹⁵Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
16. ¹⁶For he hath broken the gates of brass, And cut the bars of iron in sunder.
17. ¹⁷Fools because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
18. ¹⁸Their soul abhorreth all manner of food; And they draw near unto the gates of death.
19. ¹⁹Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he saveth them out of their distresses.
20. ²⁰He sendeth his word, and healeth them, And delivereth [them] from their destructions.
21. ²¹Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
22. ²²And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare his works with singing.
23. ²³They that go down to the sea in ships, That do business in great waters;
24. ²⁴These see the works of Jehovah, And his wonders in the deep.
25. ²⁵For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, Which lifteth up the waves thereof.
26. ²⁶They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths: Their soul melteth away because of trouble.
27. ²⁷They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, And are at their wits' end.
28. ²⁸Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he bringeth them out of their distresses.
29. ²⁹He maketh the storm a calm, So that the waves thereof are still.
30. ³⁰Then are they glad because they are quiet; So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
31. ³¹Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
32. ³²Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, And praise him in the seat of the elders.
33. ³³He turneth rivers into a wilderness, And watersprings into a thirsty ground;
34. ³⁴A fruitful land into a salt desert, For the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35. ³⁵He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water, And a dry land into watersprings.
36. ³⁶And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, That they may prepare a city of habitation,
37. ³⁷And sow fields, and plant vineyards, And get them fruits of increase.
38. ³⁸He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; And he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39. ³⁹Again, they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
40. ⁴⁰He poureth contempt upon princes, And causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.
41. ⁴¹Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction, And maketh [him] families like a flock.
42. ⁴²The upright shall see it, and be glad; And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43. ⁴³Whoso is wise will give heed to these things; And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah.
