Psalms 107:4-32

4They wanderedH8582 in the wildernessH4057 in a desertH3452 wayH1870; they foundH4672 noH3808 cityH5892 of habitationH4186.

5HungryH7457 and thirstyH6771, their soulH5315 fainted in them.

6Then they criedH6817 unto the LORDH3068 in their troubleH6862, and he deliveredH5337 them outH413 of their distressesH4691.

7He ledH1869 them also by a straightH3477 wayH1870, that they might go to a cityH5892 of habitationH4186.

8Oh that menH120 would praiseH3034 the LORDH3068 for his goodness, and for his wonderfulH6381 worksH6381 to the childrenH1121 of menH120!

9For he satisfieth the longing soulH5315, and the hungryH7457 soulH5315 he filleth with goodH2896.

10Such as satH3427 in darknessH2822 and in the shadowH6757 of deathH6757, being boundH615 in affliction and ironH1270;

11BecauseH3588 they rebelledH4784 againstH561 the wordsH561 of GodH410, and contemned the counselH6098 of the Most High:

12Therefore he broughtH3782 downH3782 their heartH3820 with labour; they fell downH3782, and there was noneH369 to helpH5826.

13Then they criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068 hi their troubleH3467, and he savedH3467 them outH2199 of their distressesH4691.

14He broughtH3318 them outH3318 of darknessH2822 and the shadowH6757 of deathH6757, and brake their bandsH4147 in sunder.

15Oh that menH120 would praiseH3034 the LORDH3068 for his goodness, and for his wonderfulH6381 worksH6381 to the childrenH1121 of menH120!

16For he hath brokenH7665 the gatesH1817 of brassH5178, and cutH1438 the barsH1280 of ironH1270 in sunder.

17FoolsH191 becauseH5771 of their transgressionH6588, and becauseH5771 of their iniquitiesH5771, are afflicted.

18Their soulH5315 abhorreth allH3605 manner of meat; and they drawH5060 nearH5060 unto the gatesH8179 of deathH4194.

19Then they cryH2199 unto the LORDH3068 in their troubleH3467, and he saveth them outH2199 of their distressesH4691.

20He sendeth his wordH1697, and healeth them, and delivereth them from their destructionsH7825.

21Oh that menH120 would praiseH3034 the LORDH3068 for his goodness, and for his wonderfulH6381 worksH6381 to the childrenH1121 of menH120!

22And let them offerH2076 the sacrificesH2077 of thanksgivingH8426, and declareH5608 his worksH4639 with singingH7440.

23They that goH3381 downH3381 to the seaH3220 in shipsH591, that doH6213 businessH4399 in greatH7227 watersH4325;

24TheseH1992 seeH7200 the worksH4639 of the LORDH3068, and his wondersH6381 in the deepH4688.

25For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy windH7307, whichH7307 lifteth upH7311 the wavesH1530 thereof.

26They mountH5927 upH5927 to the heavenH8064, they goH5927 downH3381 again to the depthsH8415: their soulH5315 melteth awayH5927 because of troubleH7451.

27They reel to and froH5128, and staggerH5128 like a drunkenH7910 manH7910, and are at their wits’H2451 endH1104.

28Then they cryH6817 unto the LORDH3068 in their troubleH6862, and he bringeth them outH3318 of their distressesH4691.

29He maketh the stormH5591 a calm, soH6965 that the wavesH1530 thereof are stillH2814.

30Then are they gladH8055 becauseH3588 they be quietH8367: soH3588 he bringeth them unto the havenH4231 whereH413 they would be.

31Oh that menH120 would praiseH3034 the LORDH3068 for his goodness, and for his wonderfulH6381 worksH6381 to the childrenH1121 of menH120!

32Let them exaltH7311 him also in the assemblyH6951 of the peopleH5971, and praiseH1984 him in the seatH4186 of the eldersH2205.
