Psalm 107

 

 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;

    his love endures forever. 

  Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story—

    those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,

  those he gathered from the lands,

    from east and west, from north and south. 

  Some wandered in desert wastelands,

    finding no way to a city where they could settle.

  They were hungry and thirsty,

    and their lives ebbed away.

 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,

    and he delivered them from their distress.

  He led them by a straight way

    to a city where they could settle.

  Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love

    and his wonderful deeds for mankind,

for he satisfies the thirsty

    and fills the hungry with good things.  

Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love

    and his wonderful deeds for mankind.

Let them sacrifice thank offerings

    and tell of his works with songs of joy. 

  Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,

    and he brought them out of their distress.

  He stilled the storm to a whisper;

    the waves of the sea were hushed.

  They were glad when it grew calm,

    and he guided them to their desired haven.

  Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love

    and his wonderful deeds for mankind.

  Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people

    and praise him in the council of the elders. ~selected verses from Psalm 107
