Psalm 107:1–16

The Lord Delivers Men from Manifold Troubles.

1 Oh agive thanks to the Lord, for bHe is good,

For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

2 Let athe redeemed of the Lord say so,

Whom He has bredeemed from the hand of the adversary

3 And agathered from the lands,

From the east and from the west,

From the north and from the 1south.

4 They awandered in the wilderness in a 1desert region;

They did not find a way to 2an inhabited bcity.

5 They were hungry 1and thirsty;

Their asoul fainted within them.

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

He delivered them out of their distresses.

7 He led them also by a 1astraight way,

To go to 2ban inhabited city.

8 aLet them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness,

And for His 1wonders to the sons of men!

9 For He has asatisfied the 1thirsty soul,

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

10 There were those who adwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death,

bPrisoners in 1misery and 2chains,

11 Because they had arebelled against the words of God

And bspurned the ccounsel of the Most High.

12 Therefore He humbled their heart with labor;

They stumbled and there was anone to help.

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

He saved them out of their distresses.

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

And bbroke their bands apart.

15 aLet them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness,

And for His 1wonders to the sons of men!

16 For He has ashattered gates of bronze

And cut bars of iron asunder.
