Psalms 107 NASB - New American Standard BibleNo. 107 of the Psalms—New American Standard Bible (NASB)
- ¶ Oh 1give thanks to the LORD, for 2He is good,
For His lovingkindness is everlasting. - Let 3the redeemed of the LORD say so,
Whom He has 4redeemed from the hand of the adversary - And 5gathered from the lands,
From the east and from the west,
From the north and from the [a]south. - ¶ They 6wandered in the wilderness in a [b]desert region;
They did not find a way to [c]an inhabited 7city. - They were hungry [d]and thirsty;
Their 8soul fainted within them. - Then they 9cried out to the LORD in their trouble;
He delivered them out of their distresses. - He led them also by a [e]10straight way,
To go to [f]11an inhabited city. - 12Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness,
And for His [g]wonders to the sons of men! - For He has 13satisfied the [h]thirsty soul,
And the 14hungry soul He has filled with what is good. - ¶ There were those who 15dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death,
16Prisoners in [i]misery and [j]chains, - Because they had 17rebelled against the words of God
And 18spurned the 19counsel of the Most High. - Therefore He humbled their heart with labor;
They stumbled and there was 20none to help. - Then they 21cried out to the LORD in their trouble;
He saved them out of their distresses. - He 22brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death
And 23broke their bands apart. - 24Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness,
And for His [k]wonders to the sons of men! - For He has 25shattered gates of bronze
And cut bars of iron asunder. - ¶ Fools, because of [l]their rebellious way,
And 26because of their iniquities, were afflicted. - Their 27soul abhorred all kinds of food,
And they 28drew near to the 29gates of death. - Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble;
He saved them out of their distresses. - He 30sent His word and 31healed them,
And 32delivered them from their [m]destructions. - 33Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness,
And for His [n]wonders to the sons of men! - Let them also offer 34sacrifices of thanksgiving,
And 35tell of His works with joyful singing. - ¶ Those who 36go down to the sea in ships,
Who do business on great waters; - They have seen the works of the LORD,
And His [o]wonders in the deep. - For He 37spoke and raised up a 38stormy wind,
Which 39lifted up the waves [p]of the sea. - They rose up to the heavens, they went down to the depths;
Their soul 40melted away in their misery. - They reeled and 41staggered like a drunken man,
And [q]were at their wits’ end. - Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
And He brought them out of their distresses. - He 42caused the storm to be still,
So that the waves [r]of the sea were hushed. - Then they were glad because they were quiet,
So He guided them to their desired haven. - 43Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness,
And for His [s]44wonders to the sons of men! - Let them 45extol Him also 46in the congregation of the people,
And 47praise Him at the seat of the elders. - ¶ He [t]48changes rivers into a [u]wilderness
And springs of water into a thirsty ground; - A 49fruitful land into a 50salt waste,
Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it. - He [v]51changes a [w]wilderness into a pool of water
And a dry land into springs of water; - And there He makes the hungry to dwell,
So that they may establish [x]52an inhabited city, - And sow fields and 53plant vineyards,
And [y]gather a fruitful harvest. - Also He blesses them and they 54multiply greatly,
And He 55does not let their cattle decrease. - ¶ When they are 56diminished and 57bowed down
Through oppression, misery and sorrow, - He 58pours contempt upon [z]princes
And 59makes them wander 60in a pathless waste. - But He 61sets the needy [aa]securely on high away from affliction,
And 62makes his families like a flock. - The 63upright see it and are glad;
But all 64unrighteousness shuts its mouth. - Who is 65wise? Let him give heed to these things,
And consider the 66lovingkindnesses of the LORD.
