19_PSA_107_01 O give thanks unto the LORD, for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

19_PSA_107_02 Let the redeemed of the LORD say [so], whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

19_PSA_107_03 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.

19_PSA_107_04 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.

19_PSA_107_05 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

19_PSA_107_06 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he delivered them out of their distresses.

19_PSA_107_07 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

19_PSA_107_08 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!

19_PSA_107_09 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

19_PSA_107_10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, [being] bound in affliction and iron;

19_PSA_107_11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:

19_PSA_107_12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and [there was] none to help.

19_PSA_107_13 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he saved them out of their distresses.

19_PSA_107_14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.

19_PSA_107_15 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!

19_PSA_107_16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

19_PSA_107_17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

19_PSA_107_18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.

19_PSA_107_19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he saveth them out of their distresses.

19_PSA_107_20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered [them] from their destructions.

19_PSA_107_21 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!

19_PSA_107_22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.

19_PSA_107_23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;

19_PSA_107_24 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.

19_PSA_107_25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.

19_PSA_107_26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

19_PSA_107_27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end.

19_PSA_107_28 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.

19_PSA_107_29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

19_PSA_107_30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

19_PSA_107_31 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!

19_PSA_107_32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

19_PSA_107_33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;

19_PSA_107_34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

19_PSA_107_35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.

19_PSA_107_36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;

19_PSA_107_37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.

19_PSA_107_38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

19_PSA_107_39 Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

19_PSA_107_40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, [where there is] no way.

19_PSA_107_41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh [him] families like a flock.

19_PSA_107_42 The righteous shall see [it], and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

19_PSA_107_43 Whoso [is] wise, and will observe these [things], even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
