Psalms 107 — KJVCP

107Verse 1O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good:
For his mercy endureth for ever.
^{Verse 2}Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
^{Verse 3}And gathered them out of the lands,
From the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.^{Verse 4}They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way;
They found no city to dwell in.
^{Verse 5}Hungry and thirsty,
Their soul fainted in them.
^{Verse 6}Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble,
And he delivered them out of their distresses.
^{Verse 7}And he led them forth by the right way,
That they might go to a city of habitation.
^{Verse 8}Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness,
And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
^{Verse 9}For he satisfieth the longing soul,
And filleth the hungry soul with goodness.^{Verse 10}Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
Being bound in affliction and iron;
^{Verse 11}Because they rebelled against the words of God,
And contemned the counsel of the most High:
^{Verse 12}Therefore he brought down their heart with labour;
They fell down, and there was none to help.
^{Verse 13}Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble,
And he saved them out of their distresses.
^{Verse 14}He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
And brake their bands in sunder.
^{Verse 15}Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness,
And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
^{Verse 16}For he hath broken the gates of brass,
And cut the bars of iron in sunder.^{Verse 17}Fools because of their transgression,
And because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
^{Verse 18}Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat;
And they draw near unto the gates of death.
^{Verse 19}Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble,
He saveth them out of their distresses.
^{Verse 20}He sent his word, and healed them,
And delivered them from their destructions.
^{Verse 21}Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness,
And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
^{Verse 22}And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving,
And declare his works with rejoicing.^{Verse 23}They that go down to the sea in ships,
That do business in great waters;
^{Verse 24}These see the works of the Lord,
And his wonders in the deep.
^{Verse 25}For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind,
Which lifteth up the waves thereof.
^{Verse 26}They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths:
Their soul is melted because of trouble.
^{Verse 27}They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,
And are at their wit’s end.
^{Verse 28}Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble,
And he bringeth them out of their distresses.
^{Verse 29}He maketh the storm a calm,
So that the waves thereof are still.
^{Verse 30}Then are they glad because they be quiet;
So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
^{Verse 31}Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness,
And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
^{Verse 32}Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people,
And praise him in the assembly of the elders.^{Verse 33}He turneth rivers into a wilderness,
And the watersprings into dry ground;
^{Verse 34}A fruitful land into barrenness,
For the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
^{Verse 35}He turneth the wilderness into a standing water,
And dry ground into watersprings;
^{Verse 36}And there he maketh the hungry to dwell,
That they may prepare a city for habitation;
^{Verse 37}And sow the fields, and plant vineyards,
Which may yield fruits of increase.
^{Verse 38}He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly;
And suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
^{Verse 39}Again, they are minished and brought low
Through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
^{Verse 40}He poureth contempt upon princes,
And causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
^{Verse 41}Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction,
And maketh him families like a flock.
^{Verse 42}The righteous shall see it, and rejoice:
And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
^{Verse 43}Whoso is wise, and will observe these things,
Even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.
