| Psalms 107: (ASV) |
| 1) O give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever. |
| 2) Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so, Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary, |
| 3) And gathered 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 desert way; They found no city of habitation. |
| 5) Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them. |
| 6) Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distresses, |
| 7) He led them also by a straight way, That they might go to a city of habitation. |
| 8) Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men! |
| 9) For he satisfieth the longing soul, And the hungry soul he filleth with good. |
| 10) Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron, |
| 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 Jehovah in their trouble, And he saved them out of their distresses. |
| 14) He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And brake their bonds in sunder. |
| 15) Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, 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 in sunder. |
| 17) Fools because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, are afflicted. |
| 18) Their soul abhorreth all manner of food; And they draw near unto the gates of death. |
| 19) Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he saveth them out of their distresses. |
| 20) He sendeth his word, and healeth them, And delivereth them from their destructions. |
| 21) Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men! |
| 22) And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare his works with singing. |
| 23) They that go down to the sea in ships, That do business in great waters; |
| 24) These see the works of Jehovah, 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 heavens, they go down again to the depths: Their soul melteth away 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 Jehovah 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 Jehovah for his lovingkindness, 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 seat of the elders. |
| 33) He turneth rivers into a wilderness, And watersprings into a thirsty ground; |
| 34) A fruitful land into a salt desert, For the wickedness of them that dwell therein. |
| 35) He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water, And a dry land into watersprings. |
| 36) And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, That they may prepare a city of habitation, |
| 37) And sow fields, and plant vineyards, And get them fruits of increase. |
| 38) He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; And he suffereth not their cattle to decrease. |
| 39) Again, they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow. |
| 40) He poureth contempt upon princes, And causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way. |
| 41) Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction, And maketh him families like a flock. |
| 42) The upright shall see it, and be glad; And all iniquity shall stop her mouth. |
| 43) Whoso is wise will give heed to these things; And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah. |
