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 .
