Psalms 107 : 8 - 43
Chapter 107
8 | Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! |
9 | For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness. |
10 | Those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Bound in affliction and irons-- |
11 | Because they rebelled against the words of God, And despised 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 out to 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 chains in pieces. |
15 | Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! |
16 | For He has broken the gates of bronze, And cut the bars of iron in two. |
17 | Fools, because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted. |
18 | Their soul abhorred all manner of food, And they drew near to the gates of death. |
19 | Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, And He saved them out of their distresses. |
20 | He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions. |
21 | Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! |
22 | Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare His works with rejoicing. |
23 | Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business on great waters, |
24 | They see the works of the LORD, And His wonders in the deep. |
25 | For He commands and raises the stormy wind, Which lifts up the waves of the sea. |
26 | They mount up to the heavens, They go down again to the depths; Their soul melts 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 out to the LORD in their trouble, And He brings them out of their distresses. |
29 | He calms the storm, So that its waves are still. |
30 | Then they are glad because they are quiet; So He guides them to their desired haven. |
31 | Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! |
32 | Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people, And praise Him in the company of the elders. |
33 | He turns rivers into a wilderness, And the watersprings into dry ground; |
34 | A fruitful land into barrenness, For the wickedness of those who dwell in it. |
35 | He turns a wilderness into pools of water, And dry land into watersprings. |
36 | There He makes the hungry dwell, That they may establish a city for a dwelling place, |
37 | And sow fields and plant vineyards, That they may yield a fruitful harvest. |
38 | He also blesses them, and they multiply greatly; And He does not let their cattle decrease. |
39 | When they are diminished and brought low Through oppression, affliction and sorrow, |
40 | He pours contempt on princes, And causes them to wander in the wilderness where there is no way; |
41 | Yet He sets the poor on high, far from affliction, And makes their families like a flock. |
42 | The righteous see it and rejoice, And all iniquity stops its mouth. |
43 | Whoever is wise will observe these things, And they will understand the lovingkindness of the LORD. |
