Psalm 107:1-43 NASBS

[1] Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, For His lovingkindness is everlasting. [2] Let the redeemed of the LORD 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 in a desert region; They did not find a way to an inhabited city. [5] They were hungry and thirsty; Their soul fainted within them. [6] Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; He delivered them out of their distresses. [7] He led them also by a straight way, To go to an inhabited city. [8] Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders 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 dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death, Prisoners in misery and chains, [11] Because they had rebelled against the words of God And spurned the counsel of the Most High. [12] Therefore He humbled their heart with labor; They stumbled and there was none to help. [13] Then they cried out to the LORD 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 the LORD for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men! [16] For He has shattered gates of bronze And cut bars of iron asunder. [17] Fools, because of their rebellious way, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted. [18] Their soul abhorred all kinds of food, And they drew near to the gates of death. [19] Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses. [20] He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions. [21] Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men! [22] Let them also offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, And tell of His works with joyful singing. [23] Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business on great waters; [24] They have seen the works of the LORD, And His wonders in the deep. [25] For He spoke and raised up a stormy wind, Which lifted up the waves of the sea. [26] They rose up to the heavens, they went down to the depths; Their soul melted away in their misery. [27] They reeled and staggered like a drunken man, And were at their wits' end. [28] Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, And He brought them out of their distresses. [29] He caused the storm to be still, So that the waves of the sea were hushed. [30] Then they were glad because they were quiet, So He guided them to their desired haven. [31] Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men! [32] Let them extol Him also in the congregation of the people, And praise Him at the seat of the elders. [33] He changes rivers into a wilderness And springs of water into a thirsty ground; [34] A fruitful land into a salt waste, Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it. [35] He changes a wilderness into a pool of water And a dry land into springs of water; [36] And there He makes the hungry to dwell, So that they may establish an inhabited city, [37] And sow fields and plant vineyards, And gather a fruitful harvest. [38] Also He blesses them and they multiply greatly, And He does not let their cattle decrease. [39] When they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, misery and sorrow, [40] He pours contempt upon princes And makes them wander in a pathless waste. [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 give heed to these things, And consider the lovingkindnesses of the LORD.
