| # Chapter 107
#### 1 | Give thanks to Yahweh, For he is good, For his lovingkindness endures forever.
#### 2 | Let the redeemed by Yahweh say so, Whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
#### 3 | 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 to live in.
#### 5 | Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them.
#### 6 | Then they cried to Yahweh 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 to live in.
#### 8 | Let them praise Yahweh for his lovingkindness, For his wonderful works to the children of men!
#### 9 | For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good.
#### 10 | Some 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 condemned 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 to Yahweh in their trouble, And he saved them out of their distresses.
#### 14 | He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And broke their bonds in sunder.
#### 15 | Let them praise Yahweh for his lovingkindness, For his wonderful works to the children of men!
#### 16 | For he has broken the gates of brass, And cut through bars of iron.
#### 17 | Fools are afflicted because of their disobedience, And because of their iniquities.
#### 18 | Their soul abhors all kinds of food. They draw near to the gates of death.
#### 19 | Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, He saves them out of their distresses.
#### 20 | He sends his word, and heals them, And delivers them from their graves.
#### 21 | Let them praise Yahweh for his lovingkindness, For his wonderful works to the children of men!
#### 22 | Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare his works with singing.
#### 23 | Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business in great waters;
#### 24 | These see Yahweh's works, And his wonders in the deep.
#### 25 | For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, Which lifts up its waves.
#### 26 | They mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths. Their soul melts away because of trouble.
#### 27 | They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man, And are at their wits' end.
#### 28 | Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, He brings them out of their distress.
#### 29 | He makes the storm a calm, So that its waves are still.
#### 30 | Then are they glad because it is calm, So he brings them to their desired haven.
#### 31 | Let them praise Yahweh for his lovingkindness, 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 turns rivers into a desert, Water springs into a thirsty ground,
#### 34 | And a fruitful land into a salt waste, For the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
#### 35 | He turns a desert into a pool of water, And a dry land into water springs.
#### 36 | There he makes the hungry to live, That they may prepare a city to live in,
#### 37 | Sow fields, plant vineyards, And reap the fruits of increase.
#### 38 | He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly. He doesn't allow their cattle to decrease.
#### 39 | Again, they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
#### 40 | He pours contempt on princes, And causes them to wander in a trackless waste.
#### 41 | Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction, And increases their families like a flock.
#### 42 | The upright will see it, and be glad. All the wicked will shut their mouths.
#### 43 | Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things. They will consider the lovingkindnesses of Yahweh. Psalm 108 A Song. A Psalm by David.
