Psalms 107:1-43 
1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for 
his mercy endureth for ever. 
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he 
hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; 
3 And gathered them 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 solitary way; 
they found no city to dwell in. 
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. 
6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, 
and he delivered them out of their distresses. 
7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they 
might go to a city of habitation. 
8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his 
goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children 
of men! 
9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the 
hungry soul with goodness. 
10 Such as sit 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 
labour; they fell down, and there was none to help. 
13 Then they cried unto 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 brake their bands in sunder. 
15 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his 
goodness, 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 meat; and they 
draw near unto the gates of death. 
19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and
he saveth them out of their distresses. 
20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered 
them from their destructions. 
21 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his 
goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children 
of men!
22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of 
thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing. 
23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do 
business in great waters; 
24 These see the works of the LORD, 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 heaven, they go down again 
to the depths: their soul is melted 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 the LORD 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 be quiet; so he 
bringeth them unto their desired haven. 
31 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his 
goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children 
of men! 
32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the 
people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. 
33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the 
watersprings into dry ground; 
34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness 
of them that dwell therein. 
35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, 
and dry ground into watersprings. 
36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that 
they may prepare a city for habitation; 
37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which 
may yield fruits of increase. 
38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied 
greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease. 
39 Again, they are minished and brought low through 
oppression, affliction, and sorrow. 
40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth 
them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no 
way. 
41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, 
and maketh him families like a flock. 
42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all 
iniquity shall stop her mouth. 
43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even 
they shall understand the lovingkindness of the 
LORD
