Psalm 107:4–22

⁴Some ^zwandered in the desolate wilderness,

finding no way to a city where they could live. ^a

⁵They were hungry and thirsty;

their spirits failed ^bwithin them. ^c

⁶Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble;

He rescued them from their distress. ^d

⁷He led them by the right path

to go to a city where they could live. ^e

⁸Let them give thanks to the Lord

for His faithful love

and His wonderful works for all humanity. ^f

⁹For He has satisfied the thirsty

and filled the hungry with good things. ^g

¹⁰Others ^hsat in darkness and gloom ⁱ—

prisoners in cruel chains ^j—

¹¹because they rebelled against God’s commands

and despised the counsel of the Most High. ^k

¹²He broke their spirits ^lwith hard labor;

they stumbled, and there was no one to help. ^m

¹³Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble;

He saved them from their distress. ⁿ

¹⁴He brought them out of darkness and gloom ^o

and broke their chains apart. ^p

¹⁵Let them give thanks to the Lord

for His faithful love

and His wonderful works for all humanity. ^q

¹⁶For He has broken down the bronze gates

and cut through the iron bars. ^r

¹⁷Fools suffered affliction

because of their rebellious ways and their sins. ^s

¹⁸They loathed all food

and came near the gates of death. ^t

¹⁹Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble;

He saved them from their distress. ^u

²⁰He sent His word and healed them;

He rescued them from the Pit. ^v

²¹Let them give thanks to the Lord

for His faithful love

and His wonderful works for all humanity. ^w

²²Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving

and announce His works with shouts of joy. ^x
