| # Chapter 107
#### 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. Psalm 108 A Song, A Psalm of David.
