Psalm 107:4–22

⁴They wandered in ^cthe wilderness in a desolate way;

They found no city to dwell in.

⁵Hungry and thirsty,

Their soul fainted in them.

^6dThen they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,

And He delivered them out of their distresses.

⁷And He led them forth by the ^eright way,

That they might go to a city for a dwelling place.

^8fOh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,

And for His wonderful works to the children of men!

⁹For ^gHe satisfies the longing soul,

And fills the hungry soul with goodness.

¹⁰Those who ^hsat in darkness and in the shadow of death,

ⁱBound ²in affliction and irons—

¹¹Because they ^jrebelled against the words of God,

And ³despised ^kthe counsel of the Most High,

¹²Therefore He brought down their heart with labor;

They fell down, and there was ^lnone to help.

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

And He saved them out of their distresses.

^14mHe brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,

And broke their chains in pieces.

¹⁵Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,

And for His wonderful works to the children of men!

¹⁶For He has ⁿbroken the gates of bronze,

And cut the bars of iron in two.

¹⁷Fools, ^obecause of their transgression,

And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.

^18pTheir soul abhorred all manner of food,

And they ^qdrew near to the gates of death.

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

And He saved them out of their distresses.

^20rHe sent His word and ^shealed them,

And ^tdelivered them from their destructions.

²¹Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,

And for His wonderful works to the children of men!

^22uLet them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving,

And ^vdeclare His works with ⁴rejoicing.
