Psalms 107:4-32

4Some wanderedH8582 in desertH4057 wastelandsH3452, findingH4672 noH3808 pathH1870 to a cityH5892 in which to dwellH4186.5They were hungryH7457 andH1571 thirstyH6771; their soulH5315 faintedH5848 within them.6Then they cried outH6817 toH413 the LORDH3068 in their troubleH6862, and He deliveredH5337 them from their distressH4691.7He led themH1869 on a straightH3477 pathH1870 to reachH1980H413 a cityH5892 where they could liveH4186.8Let them give thanksH3034 to the LORDH3068 for His loving devotionH2617 and His wondersH6381 to the sonsH1121 of menH120.9ForH3588 He satisfiesH7646 the thirstyH8264 and fillsH4390 the hungryH7457 with good thingsH2896.

10Some satH3427 in darknessH2822 and in the shadow of deathH6757,prisonersH615 in afflictionH6040 and chainsH1270,11becauseH3588 they rebelledH4784 against the wordsH561 of GodH410and despisedH5006 the counselH6098 of the Most HighH5945.12He humbledH3665 their heartsH3820 with hard laborH5999;they stumbledH3782, and there was noH369 one to helpH5826.13Then they cried outH2199 toH413 the LORDH3068 in their troubleH6862,and He savedH3467 them from their distressH4691.14He brought them outH3318 of darknessH2822 and the shadow of deathH6757and broke away their chainsH4147H5423.15Let them give thanksH3034 to the LORDH3068 for His loving devotionH2617and His wondersH6381 to the sonsH1121 of menH120.16ForH3588 He has broken downH7665 the gatesH1817 of bronzeH5178and cut throughH1438 the barsH1280 of ironH1270.
17FoolsH191, in their rebelliousH6588 waysH1870,and through their iniquitiesH5771, suffered afflictionH6031.18TheyH5315 loathedH8581 allH3605 foodH400and drew nearH5060 toH5704 the gatesH8179 of deathH4194.19Then they cried outH2199 toH413 the LORDH3068 in their troubleH6862,and He saved themH3467 from their distressH4691.20He sent forthH7971 His wordH1697 and healed themH7495;He rescued themH4422 from the PitH7825.21Let them give thanksH3034 to the LORDH3068 for His loving devotionH2617and His wondersH6381 to the sonsH1121 of menH120.22Let them offerH2076 sacrificesH2077 of thanksgivingH8426and declareH5608 His worksH4639 with rejoicingH7440.
23Others wentH3381 out to seaH3220 in shipsH591,conductingH6213 tradeH4399 on the mightyH7227 watersH4325.24TheyH1992 sawH7200 the worksH4639 of the LORDH3068,and His wondersH6381 in the deepH4688.25For He spokeH559 and raisedH5975 a tempestH7307H5591that liftedH7311 the wavesH1530 of the sea.26They mounted upH5927 to the heavensH8064, then sunkH3381 to the depthsH8415;their courageH5315 meltedH4127 in their anguishH7451.27They reeledH2287 and staggeredH5128 like drunkardsH7910,and allH3605 their skillH2451 was uselessH1104.1
28Then they cried outH6817 toH413 the LORDH3068 in their troubleH6862,and He brought themH3318 out of their distressH4691.29He calmedH6965 the stormH5591 to a whisperH1827,and the waves of the seaH15302 were hushedH2814.30They rejoicedH8055 inH3588 the silenceH8367,and He guided themH5148 toH413 the harborH4231 they desiredH2656.31Let them give thanksH3034 to the LORDH3068 for His loving devotionH2617and His wondersH6381 to the sonsH1121 of menH120.32Let them exalt HimH7311 in the assemblyH6951 of the peopleH5971and praise HimH1984 in the councilH4186 of the eldersH2205.
