107 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,

for his steadfast love endures forever!

² Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,

whom he has redeemed from trouble

³ and gathered in from the lands,

from the east and from the west,

from the north and from the south.

⁴ Some wandered in desert wastes,

finding no way to a city to dwell in;

⁵ hungry and thirsty,

their soul fainted within them.

⁶ Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

⁷ He led them by a straight way

till they reached a city to dwell in.

⁸ Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,

for his wondrous works to the children of man!

⁹ For he satisfies the longing soul,

and the hungry soul he fills with good things.

¹⁰ Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,

prisoners in affliction and in irons,

¹¹ for they had rebelled against the words of God,

and spurned the counsel of the Most High.

¹² So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor;

they fell down, with none to help.

¹³ Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

¹⁴ He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,

and burst their bonds apart.

¹⁵ Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,

for his wondrous works to the children of man!

¹⁶ For he shatters the doors of bronze

and cuts in two the bars of iron.

¹⁷ Some were fools through their sinful ways,

and because of their iniquities suffered affliction;

¹⁸ they loathed any kind of food,

and they drew near to the gates of death.

¹⁹ Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

²⁰ He sent out his word and healed them,

and delivered them from their destruction.

²¹ Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,

for his wondrous works to the children of man!

²² And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving,

and tell of his deeds in songs of joy!

²³ Some went down to the sea in ships,

doing business on the great waters;

²⁴ they saw the deeds of the Lord,

his wondrous works in the deep.

²⁵ For he commanded and raised the stormy wind,

which lifted up the waves of the sea.

²⁶ They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths;

their courage melted away in their evil plight;

²⁷ they reeled and staggered like drunken men

and were at their wits’ end.

²⁸ Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

²⁹ He made the storm be still,

and the waves of the sea were hushed.

³⁰ Then they were glad that the waters were quiet,

and he brought them to their desired haven.

³¹ Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,

for his wondrous works to the children of man!

³² Let them extol him in the congregation of the people,

and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

³³ He turns rivers into a desert,

springs of water into thirsty ground,

³⁴ a fruitful land into a salty waste,

because of the evil of its inhabitants.

³⁵ He turns a desert into pools of water,

a parched land into springs of water.

³⁶ And there he lets the hungry dwell,

and they establish a city to live in;

³⁷ they sow fields and plant vineyards

and get a fruitful yield.

³⁸ By his blessing they multiply greatly,

and he does not let their livestock diminish.

³⁹ When they are diminished and brought low

through oppression, evil, and sorrow,

⁴⁰ he pours contempt on princes

and makes them wander in trackless wastes;

⁴¹ but he raises up the needy out of affliction

and makes their families like flocks.

⁴² The upright see it and are glad,

and all wickedness shuts its mouth.

⁴³ Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things;

let them consider the steadfast love of the Lord.
