Psalms 107:1-29,33-35,38-43
[1]“Give thanks to the Lord, because he is good; his love is eternal!”
[2]Repeat these words in praise to the Lord, all you whom he has saved. He has rescued you from your enemies
[3]and has brought you back from foreign countries, from east and west, from north and south.
[4]Some wandered in the trackless desert and could not find their way to a city to live in.
[5]They were hungry and thirsty and had given up all hope.
[6]Then in their trouble they called to the Lord, and he saved them from their distress.
[7]He led them by a straight road to a city where they could live.
[8]They must thank the Lord for his constant love, for the wonderful things he did for them.
[9]He satisfies those who are thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
[10]Some were living in gloom and darkness, prisoners suffering in chains,
[11]because they had rebelled against the commands of Almighty God and had rejected his instructions.
[12]They were worn out from hard work; they would fall down, and no one would help.
[13]Then in their trouble they called to the Lord, and he saved them from their distress.
[14]He brought them out of their gloom and darkness and broke their chains in pieces.
[15]They must thank the Lord for his constant love, for the wonderful things he did for them.
[16]He breaks down doors of bronze and smashes iron bars.
[17]Some were fools, suffering because of their sins and because of their evil;
[18]they couldn’t stand the sight of food and were close to death.
[19]Then in their trouble they called to the Lord, and he saved them from their distress.
[20]He healed them with his command and saved them from the grave.
[21]They must thank the Lord for his constant love, for the wonderful things he did for them.
[22]They must thank him with sacrifices, and with songs of joy must tell all that he has done.
[23]Some sailed over the ocean in ships, earning their living on the seas.
[24]They saw what the Lord can do, his wonderful acts on the seas.
[25]He commanded, and a mighty wind began to blow and stirred up the waves.
[26]The ships were lifted high in the air and plunged down into the depths. In such danger the sailors lost their courage;
[27]they stumbled and staggered like drunken men — all their skill was useless.
[28]Then in their trouble they called to the Lord, and he saved them from their distress.
[29]He calmed the raging storm, and the waves became quiet.
[33]The Lord made rivers dry up completely and stopped springs from flowing.
[34]He made rich soil become a salty wilderness because of the wickedness of those who lived there.
[35]He changed deserts into pools of water and dry land into flowing springs.
[38]He blessed his people, and they had many children; he kept their herds of cattle from decreasing.
[39]When God’s people were defeated and humiliated by cruel oppression and suffering,
[40]he showed contempt for their oppressors and made them wander in trackless deserts.
[41]But he rescued the needy from their misery and made their families increase like flocks.
[42]The righteous see this and are glad, but all the wicked are put to silence.
[43]May those who are wise think about these things; may they consider the Lord’s constant love.
