Psalm 107:1-43 LSB

[1] Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good, For His lovingkindness endures forever. [2] Let the redeemed of Yahweh say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary [3] And gathered from the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south. [4] They wandered in the wilderness along the way of the wasteland; They did not find an inhabited city. [5] Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted within them. [6] Then they cried out to Yahweh in their trouble; He delivered them out of their distresses. [7] He led them by a straight way, To go to an inhabited city. [8] Let them give thanks to Yahweh for His lovingkindness, And for His wondrous deeds to the sons of men! [9] For He has satisfied the thirsty soul, And the hungry soul He has filled with what is good. [10] There were those who inhabited darkness and the shadow of death, Prisoners in affliction and irons, [11] Because they had rebelled against the words of God And spurned the counsel of the Most High. [12] So He subdued their heart with labor; They stumbled and there was none to help. [13] Then they cried out to Yahweh in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses. [14] He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death And broke their bands apart. [15] Let them give thanks to Yahweh for His lovingkindness, And for His wondrous deeds to the sons of men! [16] For He has shattered the doors of bronze And cut through the bars of iron. [17] Ignorant fools, because of their way of transgression, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted. [18] Their soul abhorred all kinds of food, And they reached the gates of death. [19] Then they cried out to Yahweh in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses. [20] He sent His word and healed them, And provided them escape from their destructions. [21] Let them give thanks to Yahweh for His lovingkindness, And for His wondrous deeds to the sons of men! [22] Let them also offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, And recount His works with joyful singing. [23] Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business on many waters; [24] They have seen the works of Yahweh, And His wondrous deeds in the deep. [25] He spoke and set up a stormy wind, Which raised up the waves of the sea. [26] They went up to the heavens, they went down to the depths; Their soul melted away in the calamity. [27] They staggered and swayed like a drunken man, And all their wisdom was swallowed up. [28] Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, And He brought them out of their distresses. [29] He caused the storm to stand still, So that its waves were hushed. [30] Then they were glad because they were quiet, So He led them to their desired haven. [31] Let them give thanks to Yahweh for His lovingkindness, And for His wondrous deeds to the sons of men! [32] Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people, And praise Him at the seat of the elders. [33] He makes rivers into a wilderness And springs of water into a thirsty ground; [34] A fruitful land into a salt waste, Because of the evil of those who inhabited it. [35] He makes a wilderness into a pool of water And a dry land into springs of water; [36] And there He causes the hungry to inhabit, So that they may establish an inhabited city, [37] And sow fields and plant vineyards, And produce a fruitful harvest. [38] Also He blesses them and they multiply greatly, And He does not let their cattle decrease. [39] But when they decrease and are bowed down Through oppression, evil, and sorrow, [40] He pours contempt upon nobles And makes them wander in a pathless void. [41] But He sets the needy securely on high away from affliction, And makes his families like a flock. [42] The upright see it and are glad; But all unrighteousness shuts its mouth. [43] Who is wise? Let him keep these things, And carefully consider the lovingkindnesses of Yahweh.
