Psalm 107

¹Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

²Let the redeemed by the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,

³and gathered out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.

⁴They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way. They found no city to live in.

⁵Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

⁶Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

⁷He led them also by a straight way, that they might go to a city to live in.

⁸Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!

⁹For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good.

¹⁰Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron,

¹¹because they rebelled against the words of God, and condemned the counsel of the Most High.

¹²Therefore he brought down their heart with labor. They fell down, and there was no one to help.

¹³Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.

¹⁴He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke away their chains.

Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!
