Tehillim 107 תהילים ק״ז

O Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good: for his steadfast love endures for ever.

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

and gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.

They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; they found no city to dwell in.

Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble; he delivered them out of their distresses.

And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

Let them praise the Lord for his steadfast love, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

For he has satisfied the longing soul, and filled the hungry soul with goodness.

Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, bound in affliction and iron;

because they had rebelled against the words of God, and rejected the counsel of the most High:

so that he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.

Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bands asunder.

Let them praise the Lord for his steadfast love, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

For he has broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron asunder.

The foolish were afflicted on account of their sinful way, and their iniquities.

Their soul abhorred all manner of food; for they came near the gates of death.

Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.

He sends his word, and heals them, and delivers them from their destructions.

Let them praise the Lord for his steadfast love, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.

They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;

these saw the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.

For he commanded, and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves thereof.

They mount up to the sky, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted away because of trouble.

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.

Then they cry to the Lord in their trouble, and he brings them out of their distresses.

He makes the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

Then are they glad because they are quiet; and he brings them to their desired haven.

Let them praise the Lord for his steadfast love, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

He turns rivers into a wilderness, and watersprings into dry ground;

a fruitful land into barrenness, because of wickedness of those who dwell therein.

He turned the wilderness into a pool of water, and dry ground into watersprings.

And there he makes the hungry to dwell, and they establish a city for habitation;

and sow fields, and plant vineyards, which yield fruits of increase.

He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and does not let their cattle decrease.

When they are diminished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow:

he pours contempt upon nobles, and causes them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way:

yet he sets the poor on high from affliction, and makes his families like a flock.

The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

Whoever is wise, let them consider these things, and let them observe the loving acts of the Lord.
