Psalm 107:1-43 KJ21

[1] O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever. [2] Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy, [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 wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. [5] Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them. [6] Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses. [7] And He led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city for habitation. [8] Oh that men would praise the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! [9] For He satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. [10] They that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and irons, [11] because they rebelled against the words of God and contemned the counsel of the Most High, [12] therefore He brought down their heart with labor; they fell down and there was none to help. [13] Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses. [14] He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bonds asunder. [15] Oh that men would praise the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! [16] For He hath broken the gates of brass and cut the bars of iron asunder. [17] Fools, because of their transgression and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. [18] Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat, and they draw near unto the gates of death. [19] Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and He saveth them out of their distresses. [20] He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. [21] Oh that men would praise the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! [22] And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare His works with rejoicing! [23] They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters: [24] these see the works of the LORD and His wonders in the deep. [25] For He commandeth and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. [26] They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths; their soul is melted because of trouble. [27] They reel to and fro and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end. [28] Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and He bringeth them out of their distresses. [29] He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. [30] Then are they glad because they are quiet; so He bringeth them unto their desired haven. [31] Oh that men would praise the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! [32] Let them exalt Him also in the congregation of the people, and praise Him in the assembly of the elders. [33] He turneth rivers into a wilderness and the watersprings into dry ground, [34] a fruitful land into barrenness for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. [35] He turneth the wilderness into a standing water and dry ground into watersprings; [36] and there He maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation, [37] and sow the fields and plant vineyards, which may yield fruitful increase. [38] He blesseth them also so that they are multiplied greatly, and alloweth not their cattle to decrease. [39] Again, they are diminished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow. [40] He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness where there is no way. [41] Yet setteth He the poor on high from affliction, and maketh their families like a flock. [42] The righteous shall see it and rejoice, and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. [43] Whoso is wise and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
