Psalm 107:1–16

1  aO give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good:

For his mercy endureth for ever.

2  Let bthe redeemed of the Lord say so,

cWhom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

3  And dgathered them out of ethe lands,

From the east, and from the west, from the north, and †from the south.

4  They fwandered in the wilderness in ga solitary way;

They found no ggcity to dwell in.

5  hHungry and thirsty,

Their soul ifainted in them.

6  jThen they cried unto the Lord kin their trouble,

And he delivered them out of their distresses.

7  And he led them forth by the lright way,

That they might go to gga city of habitation.

8  mOh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness,

And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

9  nFor he satisfieth the olonging soul,

And filleth the phungry soul with goodness.

10  Such as qsit in darkness and rin the shadow of death,

Being sbound in affliction and iron;

11  Because they trebelled against the words of God,

And ucontemned the wcounsel of the most High:

12  Therefore he brought down their heart with labour;

They fell down, and there was xnone to help.

13  yThen they cried unto the Lord in their trouble,

And he saved them out of their distresses.

14  zHe brought them out of adarkness and the shadow of death,

And bbrake their bands in sunder.

15  bbOh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness,

And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

16  For he hath cbroken the gates of brass,

And cut the bars of iron in sunder.
