Psalm 107:4–22

⁴They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way;

They found no city of habitation.

⁵Hungry and thirsty,

Their soul fainted in them.

⁶Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble,

And he delivered them out of their distresses,

⁷He led them also by a straight way,

That they might go to a city of habitation.

⁸Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,

And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

⁹For he satisfieth the longing soul,

And the hungry soul he filleth with good.

¹⁰Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,

Being bound in affliction and iron,

¹¹Because they rebelled against the words of God,

And contemned the counsel of the Most High:

¹²Therefore he brought down their heart with labor;

They fell down, and there was none to help.

¹³Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble,

And he saved them out of their distresses.

¹⁴He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,

And brake their bonds in sunder.

¹⁵Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,

And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

¹⁶For he hath broken the gates of brass,

And cut the bars of iron in sunder.

¹⁷Fools because of their transgression,

And because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

¹⁸Their soul abhorreth all manner of food;

And they draw near unto the gates of death.

¹⁹Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble,

And he saveth them out of their distresses.

²⁰He sendeth his word, and healeth them,

And delivereth them from their destructions.

²¹Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,

And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

²²And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving,

And declare his works with singing.
