BOOK FIVE

(Psalms 107–150)

Psalm 107

¹Give thanks to the Lord because he is good, 

because his mercy endures forever. 

²Let the people the Lord defended repeat these words. 

They are the people he defended from the power of their enemies 

³and gathered from other countries, 

from the east and from the west, 

from the north and from the south. 

⁴They wandered around the desert on a deserted road 

without finding an inhabited city. 

⁵They were hungry and thirsty. 

They began to lose hope. 

⁶In their distress they cried out to the Lord. 

He rescued them from their troubles. 

⁷He led them on a road that went straight to an inhabited city. 

⁸Let them give thanks to the Lord because of his mercy. 

He performed his miracles for Adam’s descendants. 

⁹He gave plenty to drink to those who were thirsty. 

He filled those who were hungry with good food.
