Psalm 107:1-43 CSB

[1] Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his faithful love endures forever. [2] Let the redeemed of the LORD proclaim that he has redeemed them from the power of the foe [3] and has gathered them from the lands- from the east and the west, from the north and the south. [4] Some wandered in the desolate wilderness, finding no way to a city where they could live. [5] They were hungry and thirsty; their spirits failed within them. [6] Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; he rescued them from their distress. [7] He led them by the right path to go to a city where they could live. [8] Let them give thanks to the LORD for his faithful love and his wondrous works for all humanity. [9] For he has satisfied the thirsty and filled the hungry with good things. [10] Others sat in darkness and gloom - prisoners in cruel chains- [11] because they rebelled against God's commands and despised the counsel of the Most High. [12] He broke their spirits with hard labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help. [13] Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; he saved them from their distress. [14] He brought them out of darkness and gloom and broke their chains apart. [15] Let them give thanks to the LORD for his faithful love and his wondrous works for all humanity. [16] For he has broken down the bronze gates and cut through the iron bars. [17] Fools suffered affliction because of their rebellious ways and their iniquities. [18] They loathed all food and came near the gates of death. [19] Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; he saved them from their distress. [20] He sent his word and healed them; he rescued them from their traps. [21] Let them give thanks to the LORD for his faithful love and his wondrous works for all humanity. [22] Let them offer thanksgiving sacrifices and announce his works with shouts of joy. [23] Others went to sea in ships, conducting trade on the vast water. [24] They saw the LORD's works, his wondrous works in the deep. [25] He spoke and raised a stormy wind that stirred up the waves of the sea. [26] Rising up to the sky, sinking down to the depths, their courage melting away in anguish, [27] they reeled and staggered like a drunkard, and all their skill was useless. [28] Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress. [29] He stilled the storm to a whisper, and the waves of the sea were hushed. [30] They rejoiced when the waves grew quiet. Then he guided them to the harbor they longed for. [31] Let them give thanks to the LORD for his faithful love and his wondrous works for all humanity. [32] Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people and praise him in the council of the elders. [33] He turns rivers into desert, springs into thirsty ground, [34] and fruitful land into salty wasteland, because of the wickedness of its inhabitants. [35] He turns a desert into a pool, dry land into springs. [36] He causes the hungry to settle there, and they establish a city where they can live. [37] They sow fields and plant vineyards that yield a fruitful harvest. [38] He blesses them, and they multiply greatly; he does not let their livestock decrease. [39] When they are diminished and are humbled by cruel oppression and sorrow, [40] he pours contempt on nobles and makes them wander in a trackless wasteland. [41] But he lifts the needy out of their suffering and makes their families multiply like flocks. [42] The upright see it and rejoice, and all injustice shuts its mouth. [43] Let whoever is wise pay attention to these things and consider the LORD's acts of faithful love.
