19_PSA_107_01 O give thanks unto the LORD, for [ he Is] good: for his mercy [ endureth] for ever.
19_PSA_107_02 let the redeemed of the LORD say [ So], whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
19_PSA_107_03 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, And from the west, from the north, And from the south.
19_PSA_107_04 they wandered in the wilderness in A solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
19_PSA_107_05 hungry And thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
19_PSA_107_06 Then they cried unto the LORD in their Trouble, [ And] he delivered them out of their distresses.
19_PSA_107_07 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to A city of habitation.
19_PSA_107_08 Oh that [ men] would praise the LORD [ for] his goodness, And [ for] his wonderful works to the children of men !
19_PSA_107_09 for he satisfieth the longing soul, And filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
19_PSA_107_10 such as sit in darkness And in the shadow of death, [ being] bound in affliction And iron;
19_PSA_107_11 because they rebelled against the words of God, And contemned the counsel of the most high:
19_PSA_107_12 therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, And [ there was] none to help.
19_PSA_107_13 Then they cried unto the LORD in their Trouble, [ And] he saved them out of their distresses.
19_PSA_107_14 he brought them out of darkness And the shadow of death, And brake their bands in sunder.
19_PSA_107_15 Oh that [ men] would praise the LORD [ for] his goodness, And [ for] his wonderful works to the children of men !
19_PSA_107_16 for he hath broken the gates of brass, And cut the bars of iron in sunder.
19_PSA_107_17 fools because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
19_PSA_107_18 their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; And they draw near unto the gates of death.
19_PSA_107_19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their Trouble, [ And] he saveth them out of their distresses.
19_PSA_107_20 he sent his word, And healed them, And delivered [ them] from their destructions.
19_PSA_107_21 Oh that [ men] would praise the LORD [ for] his goodness, And [ for] his wonderful works to the children of men !
19_PSA_107_22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare his works with rejoicing.
19_PSA_107_23 they that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
19_PSA_107_24 These see the works of the LORD, And his wonders in the deep.
19_PSA_107_25 for he commandeth, And raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
19_PSA_107_26 they mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul Is melted because of Trouble.
19_PSA_107_27 they reel to And fro, And stagger like A drunken man, And are at their wit's end.
19_PSA_107_28 Then they cry unto the LORD in their Trouble, And he bringeth them out of their distresses.
19_PSA_107_29 he maketh the storm A calm, So that the waves thereof are still.
19_PSA_107_30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
19_PSA_107_31 Oh that [ men] would praise the LORD [ for] his goodness, And [ for] his wonderful works to the children of men !
19_PSA_107_32 let them Exalt him also in the congregation of the people, And praise him in the assembly of the elders.
19_PSA_107_33 he turneth rivers into A wilderness, And the watersprings into dry ground;
19_PSA_107_34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
19_PSA_107_35 he turneth the wilderness into A standing water, And dry ground into watersprings.
19_PSA_107_36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare A city for habitation;
19_PSA_107_37 And sow the fields, And plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
19_PSA_107_38 he blesseth them also, So that they are multiplied greatly; And suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
19_PSA_107_39 again, they are minished And brought low through oppression, affliction, And sorrow.
19_PSA_107_40 he poureth contempt upon princes, And causeth them to wander in the wilderness, [ where there Is] no way.
19_PSA_107_41 yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, And maketh [ him] families like A flock.
19_PSA_107_42 the righteous shall see [ it], And Rejoice: And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
19_PSA_107_43 whoso [ Is] wise, And will observe These [ things], even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
