Psalms 107:4-32

4They 1wanderedH8582 in the wildernessH4057 in a 2desertH3452 regionH3452; They did not findH4672 a wayH1870 to 3an inhabitedH4186 4cityH5892.5They were hungryH7457 5and thirstyH6771; Their 6soulsH5315 feltH5848 weakH5848 within them.6Then they 7criedH6817 outH6817 to the LordH3068 in their troubleH6862; He savedH5337 them from their distressesH4691.7He also had them walkH1869 on a 89straightH3477 wayH1870, To goH1980 to 1011an inhabitedH4186 cityH5892.812They shall giveH3034 thanksH3034 to the LordH3068 for His mercyH2617, And for His 13wondersH6381 to the sonsH1121 of mankindH120!9For He has 14satisfiedH7646 the 15thirstyH8264 soulH5315, And He has filledH4390 the 16hungryH7457 soulH5315 with whatH2896 isH2896 goodH2896.

10There were those who 17livedH3427 in darknessH2822 and in 18the shadowH6757 ofH6757 deathH6757, 19PrisonersH615 in miseryH6040 and 20chainsH1270,11BecauseH3588 they had 21rebelledH4784 against the wordsH561 of GodH410 And 22rejectedH5006 the 23planH6098 of the MostH5945 HighH5945.12Therefore He humbledH3665 their heartH3820 with laborH5999; They stumbledH3782 and thereH369 wasH369 24noH369 oneH369 to helpH5826.13Then they 25criedH2199 outH2199 to the LordH3068 in their troubleH6862; He savedH3467 them from their distressesH4691.14He 26broughtH3318 them outH3318 of darknessH2822 and 27the shadowH6757 ofH6757 deathH6757 And 28brokeH5423 their bandsH4147 apartH5423.1529They shall giveH3034 thanksH3034 to the LordH3068 for His mercyH2617, And for His 30wondersH6381 to the sonsH1121 of mankindH120!16For He has 31shatteredH7665 gatesH1817 of bronzeH5178 And cutH1438 offH1438 barsH1280 of ironH1270.

17FoolsH191, becauseH4480 of 32their rebelliousH6588 wayH1870, And 33becauseH4480 of their guiltyH5771 deedsH5771, were afflictedH6031.18Their 34soulsH5315 loathedH8581 allH3605 kinds of foodH400, And they 35cameH5060 closeH5060 to the 36gatesH8179 of deathH4194.19Then they criedH2199 outH2199 to the LordH3068 in their troubleH6862; He savedH3467 them from their distressesH4691.20He 37sentH7971 His wordH1697 and 38healedH7495 them, And 39savedH4422 them from their 40destructionH7825.2141They shall giveH3034 thanksH3034 to the LordH3068 for His mercyH2617, And for His 42wondersH6381 to the sonsH1121 of mankindH120!22They shall also offerH2076 43sacrificesH2077 of thanksgivingH8426, And 44tellH5608 of His worksH4639 with joyfulH7440 singingH7440.

23Those who 45goH3381 downH3381 to the seaH3220 in shipsH591, Who doH6213 businessH4399 on greatH7227 watersH4325;24They have seenH7200 the worksH4639 of the LordH3068, And His 46wondersH6381 in the deepH4688.25For He 47spokeH559 and raisedH5975 a 48stormyH5591 windH7307, Which 49liftedH7311 the wavesH1530 50of the sea.26They roseH5927 upH5927 to the heavensH8064, they wentH3381 downH3381 to the depthsH8415; Their soulH5315 51meltedH4127 awayH4127 in their miseryH7463.27They reeledH2287 and 52staggeredH5128 like a drunkenH7910 personH7910, And 53wereH1104 atH1104 their wits’H2451 endH1104.28Then they criedH6817 outH6817 to the LordH3068 in their troubleH6862, And He broughtH3318 them outH3318 of their distressesH4691.29He 54causedH6965 the stormH5591 to be stillH1827, So that the wavesH1530 55of the sea were hushedH2814.30Then they wereH8055 gladH8055 becauseH3588 they were quietH8367, So He guidedH5148 them to their desiredH2656 harborH4231.3156They shall giveH3034 thanksH3034 to the LordH3068 for His mercyH2617, And for His 5758wondersH6381 to the sonsH1121 of mankindH120!32They shall also 59exaltH7311 Him 60in the congregationH6951 of the peopleH5971, And 61praiseH1984 Him at the seatH4186 of the eldersH2205.
