Psalm 107:4–22

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

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

⁵They were hungry ¹and thirsty;

Their ^asoul fainted within them.

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

He delivered them out of their distresses.

⁷He led them also by a ^1astraight way,

To go to ^2ban inhabited city.

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

And for His ¹wonders 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 ^adwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death,

^bPrisoners in ¹misery and ²chains,

¹¹Because they had ^arebelled against the words of God

And ^bspurned the ^ccounsel of the Most High.

¹²Therefore He humbled their heart with labor;

They stumbled and there was ^anone to help.

¹³Then they ^acried out to the Lord 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 the Lord for His lovingkindness,

And for His ¹wonders to the sons of men!

¹⁶For He has ^ashattered gates of bronze

And cut bars of iron asunder.

¹⁷Fools, because of ¹their rebellious way,

And ^abecause of their iniquities, were afflicted.

¹⁸Their ^asoul abhorred all kinds of food,

And they ^bdrew near to the ^cgates of death.

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

He saved them out of their distresses.

²⁰He ^asent His word and ^bhealed them,

And ^cdelivered them from their ¹destructions.

^21aLet them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness,

And for His ¹wonders to the sons of men!

²²Let them also offer ^asacrifices of thanksgiving,

And ^btell of His works with joyful singing.
