019:107:001
O give thanks unto the LORD,
for he is good:
for his mercy endureth for ever.

019:107:002
Let the redeemed of the LORD say so,
whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

019:107:003
And gathered them out of the lands,
from the east,
and from the west,
from the north,
and from the south.

019:107:004
They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way;
they found no city to dwell in.

019:107:005
Hungry and thirsty,
their soul fainted in them.

019:107:006
Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble,
and he delivered them out of their distresses.

019:107:007
And he led them forth by the right way,
that they might go to a city of habitation.

019:107:008
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness,
and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

019:107:009
For he satisfieth the longing soul,
and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

019:107:010
Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
being bound in affliction and iron;

019:107:011
Because they rebelled against the words of God,
and contemned the counsel of the most High:

019:107:012
Therefore he brought down their heart with labour;
they fell down,
and there was none to help.

019:107:013
Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble,
and he saved them out of their distresses.

019:107:014
He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
and brake their bands in sunder.

019:107:015
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness,
and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

019:107:016
For he hath broken the gates of brass,
and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

019:107:017
Fools because of their transgression,
and because of their iniquities,
are afflicted.

019:107:018
Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat;
and they draw near unto the gates of death.

019:107:019
Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble,
and he saveth them out of their distresses.

019:107:020
He sent his word,
and healed them,
and delivered them from their destructions.

019:107:021
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness,
and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

019:107:022
And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving,
and declare his works with rejoicing.

019:107:023
They that go down to the sea in ships,
that do business in great waters;

019:107:024
These see the works of the LORD,
and his wonders in the deep.

019:107:025
For he commandeth,
and raiseth the stormy wind,
which lifteth up the waves thereof.

019:107:026
They mount up to the heaven,
they go down again to the depths:
their soul is melted because of trouble.

019:107:027
They reel to and fro,
and stagger like a drunken man,
and are at their wit's end.

019:107:028
Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble,
and he bringeth them out of their distresses.

019:107:029
He maketh the storm a calm,
so that the waves thereof are still.

019:107:030
Then are they glad because they be quiet;
so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

019:107:031
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness,
and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

019:107:032
Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people,
and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

019:107:033
He turneth rivers into a wilderness,
and the watersprings into dry ground;

019:107:034
A fruitful land into barrenness,
for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

019:107:035
He turneth the wilderness into a standing water,
and dry ground into watersprings.

019:107:036
And there he maketh the hungry to dwell,
that they may prepare a city for habitation;

019:107:037
And sow the fields,
and plant vineyards,
which may yield fruits of increase.

019:107:038
He blesseth them also,
so that they are multiplied greatly;
and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

019:107:039
Again,
they are minished and brought low through oppression,
affliction,
and sorrow.

019:107:040
He poureth contempt upon princes,
and causeth them to wander in the wilderness,
where there is no way.

019:107:041
Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction,
and maketh him families like a flock.

019:107:042
The righteous shall see it,
and rejoice:
and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

019:107:043
Whoso is wise,
and will observe these things,
even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
