Psalm 107:4–22

⁴Some ^lwandered in desert wastes,

finding no way ^mto a city to dwell in;

⁵hungry and thirsty,

their soul ⁿfainted within them.

⁶Then they ^ocried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

⁷He led them by ^pa straight way

till they reached ^ma city to dwell in.

^8qLet them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,

for his wondrous works to the children of man!

⁹For he ^rsatisfies the longing soul,

^sand the hungry soul he fills with good things.

^10tSome sat in darkness and in ^uthe shadow of death,

prisoners in ^vaffliction and in irons,

¹¹for they ^whad rebelled against the words of God,

and ^xspurned the counsel of the Most High.

¹²So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor;

they fell down, ^ywith none to help.

^13zThen they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

¹⁴He brought them out of ^adarkness and the shadow of death,

and ^bburst their bonds apart.

^15cLet them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,

for his wondrous works to the children of man!

¹⁶For he ^dshatters the doors of bronze

and cuts in two the bars of iron.

¹⁷Some were ^efools through their sinful ways,

and because of their iniquities suffered affliction;

^18fthey loathed any kind of food,

and they ^gdrew near to ^hthe gates of death.

¹⁹ⁱThen they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

²⁰He ^jsent out his word and ^khealed them,

and ^ldelivered them from their destruction.

^21mLet them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,

for his wondrous works to the children of man!

²²And let them ⁿoffer sacrifices of thanksgiving,

and ^otell of his deeds in ^psongs of joy!
