107:1
"Give thanks to the LORD, because he is good; his love is eternal!"
|
107:2
Repeat these words in praise to the LORD, all you whom he has saved. He has
rescued you from your enemies |
107:3
and has brought you back from foreign countries, from east and west, from
north and south. |
107:4
Some wandered in the trackless desert and could not find their way to a city
to live in. |
107:5
They were hungry and thirsty and had given up all hope. |
107:6
Then in their trouble they called to the LORD, and he saved them from their
distress. |
107:7
He led them by a straight road to a city where they could live. |
107:8
They must thank the LORD for his constant love, for the wonderful things he
did for them. |
107:9
He satisfies those who are thirsty and fills the hungry with good things. |
107:10
Some were living in gloom and darkness, prisoners suffering in chains, |
107:11
because they had rebelled against the commands of Almighty God and had
rejected his instructions. |
107:12
They were worn out from hard work; they would fall down, and no one would
help. |
107:13
Then in their trouble they called to the LORD, and he saved them from their
distress. |
107:14
He brought them out of their gloom and darkness and broke their chains in
pieces. |
107:15
They must thank the LORD for his constant love, for the wonderful things he
did for them. |
107:16
He breaks down doors of bronze and smashes iron bars. |
107:17
Some were fools, suffering because of their sins and because of their evil; |
107:18
they couldn't stand the sight of food and were close to death. |
107:19
Then in their trouble they called to the LORD, and he saved them from their
distress. |
107:20
He healed them with his command and saved them from the grave. |
107:21
They must thank the LORD for his constant love, for the wonderful things he
did for them. |
107:22
They must thank him with sacrifices, and with songs of joy must tell all that
he has done. |
107:23
Some sailed over the ocean in ships, earning their living on the seas. |
107:24
They saw what the LORD can do, his wonderful acts on the seas. |
107:25
He commanded, and a mighty wind began to blow and stirred up the waves. |
107:26
The ships were lifted high in the air and plunged down into the depths. In
such danger the sailors lost their courage; |
107:27
they stumbled and staggered like drunks--- all their skill was useless. |
107:28
Then in their trouble they called to the LORD, and he saved them from their
distress. |
107:29
He calmed the raging storm, and the waves became quiet. |
107:30
They were glad because of the calm, and he brought them safe to the port they
wanted. |
107:31
They must thank the LORD for his constant love, for the wonderful things he
did for them. |
107:32
They must proclaim his greatness in the assembly of the people and praise him
before the council of the leaders. |
107:33
The LORD made rivers dry up completely and stopped springs from flowing. |
107:34
He made rich soil become a salty wasteland because of the wickedness of those
who lived there. |
107:35
He changed deserts into pools of water and dry land into flowing springs. |
107:36
He let hungry people settle there, and they built a city to live in. |
107:37
They sowed the fields and planted grapevines and reaped an abundant harvest. |
107:38
He blessed his people, and they had many children; he kept their herds of
cattle from decreasing. |
107:39
When God's people were defeated and humiliated by cruel oppression and
suffering, |
107:40
he showed contempt for their oppressors and made them wander in trackless
deserts. |
107:41
But he rescued the needy from their misery and made their families increase
like flocks. |
107:42
The righteous see this and are glad, but all the wicked are put to silence. |
107:43
May those who are wise think about these things; may they consider the LORD's
constant love. |
