Psalm 107:4–22

⁴They ^awandered in the wilderness along the way of the wasteland;

They did not find an inhabited ^bcity.

⁵Hungry ¹and thirsty,

Their ^asoul fainted within them.

⁶Then they ^acried out to Yahweh in their trouble;

He delivered them out of their distresses.

⁷He led them by a ^1astraight way,

To go to ^ban inhabited city.

^8aLet them give thanks to Yahweh for His lovingkindness,

And for His wondrous deeds to the sons of men!

⁹For He has ^asatisfied the ¹thirsty soul,

And the ^bhungry soul He has filled with what is good.

¹⁰There were those who ^ainhabited darkness and the shadow of death,

^bPrisoners in affliction and irons,

¹¹Because they had ^arebelled against the words of God

And ^bspurned the ^ccounsel of the Most High.

¹²So He subdued their heart with labor;

They stumbled and there was ^anone to help.

¹³Then they ^acried out to Yahweh in their trouble;

He saved them out of their distresses.

¹⁴He ^abrought them out of darkness and the shadow of death

And ^bbroke their bands apart.

^15aLet them give thanks to Yahweh for His lovingkindness,

And for His wondrous deeds to the sons of men!

¹⁶For He has ^ashattered the doors of bronze

And cut through the bars of iron.

¹⁷¹Ignorant fools, because of their way of transgression,

And ^abecause of their iniquities, were afflicted.

¹⁸Their ^asoul abhorred all kinds of food,

And they ^breached the ^cgates of death.

¹⁹Then they cried out to Yahweh in their trouble;

He saved them out of their distresses.

²⁰He ^asent His word and ^bhealed them,

And ^cprovided them escape from their ¹destructions.

^21aLet them give thanks to Yahweh for His lovingkindness,

And for His wondrous deeds to the sons of men!

²²Let them also offer ^asacrifices of thanksgiving,

And ^brecount His works with joyful singing.
