Psalms 107
107
1Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good,
for His mercy endures forever! # 1Ch 16:34; Ps 106:1
2Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy, # Ps 106:10; Isa 35:9
3and gathered from the lands, # Ps 106:47
from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south. # Isa 43:5–6
4They wandered in the wilderness in a desolate way; # Nu 14:33; Dt 32:10
they found no city to dwell in.
5Hungry and thirsty,
their soul fainted within them.
6Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and He delivered them from their distress. # Ps 50:15; 107:13
7He led them forth by a straight way,
That they might go to a habitable city. # Ps 107:4, 36
8Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
and for His wonderful works to the sons of men! # Ps 107:15, 21
9For He satisfies the longing soul,
and fills the hungry soul with goodness. # Ps 34:10; Lk 1:53
10There were those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, # Lk 1:79
prisoners in affliction and irons,
11because they rebelled against the words of God, # Ps 106:7
and scorned the counsel of the Most High. # Ps 73:24
12Therefore He humbled their heart with labor;
they fell down and there was no one to help. # Ps 22:11
13Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and He saved them from their distress. # Ps 107:6
14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
and broke their bonds apart. # Ps 107:10; 116:16
15Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
and for His wonderful works to the sons of men! # Ps 107:8, 21
16For He has broken the gates of bronze
and cut the bars of iron in two. # Isa 45:1–2
17Fools, because of their transgressions,
and because of their iniquities, were afflicted. # La 3:39
18They abhorred all manner of food,
and they drew near to the gates of death. # Ps 9:13; 88:3
19Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and He saved them from their distress.
20He sent His word and healed them, # Mt 8:8
and delivered them from their destruction. # Ps 30:2–3
21Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
and for His wonderful works to the sons of men! # Ps 107:8, 15
22Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, # Ps 50:14
and declare His works with rejoicing. # Ps 9:11
23Some go down to the sea in ships,
who do business in the vast waters;
24they have seen the works of the Lord,
and His wonders in the deep.
25For He commanded and raised the stormy wind,
which lifted up the waves of the sea. # Ps 93:3; Jon 1:4
26They mounted up to the heavens, they went down to the depths;
their soul melted in their misery. # Ps 22:14; 119:28
27They reeled to and fro and staggered like a drunken man, # Job 12:25
and were at their wits’ end.
28Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
and He brought out of their distress.
29He made the storm to be calm,
and the waves of the sea were hushed. # Ps 65:7; 89:9; Mt 8:26
30Then they were glad because they were quiet;
so He brought them to their desired haven.
31Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
and for His wonderful works to the sons of men! # Ps 107:8, 15
32Let them exalt Him in the congregation of the people, # Ps 22:22, 25
and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33He turns rivers into a desert, # Isa 50:2
springs of water into dry ground, # Isa 42:15
34a fruitful land into barrenness, # Ge 13:10; 14:3
because of the wickedness of those who dwell therein.
35He turns a wilderness into a pool of water,
and dry land into springs of water. # Ps 114:8; Isa 35:6–7
36There He makes the hungry dwell,
so that they may establish a city to live in, # Ps 107:7
37and sow fields and plant vineyards,
and gather a fruitful harvest.
38He also blesses them, and they multiply greatly; # Ge 12:2; 17:20
and He does not let their livestock decrease.
39When they are diminished and brought low # 2Ki 10:32
through oppression, affliction, and sorrow,
40He pours contempt upon princes, # Job 12:21
and causes them to wander in a pathless wilderness; # Job 12:24
41yet He sets the poor on high out of affliction, # 1Sa 2:8
and makes their families like a flock. # Job 21:11
42The righteous see it and rejoice, # Job 22:19
and all wickedness shuts its mouth. # Ps 63:11
43Whoever is wise will observe these things, # Ps 64:9; Jer 9:12
and they will consider the lovingkindness of the Lord.
