Psalm 107 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Jehovah delivers Men from Manifold Troubles.

Psa 107:1

O give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;

For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

Psa 107:2

Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so,

Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary,

Psa 107:3

And gathered out of the lands,

From the east and from the west,

From the north and from the south.

Psa 107:4

They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way;

They found no city of habitation.

Psa 107:5

Hungry and thirsty,

Their soul fainted in them.

Psa 107:6

Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble,

And he delivered them out of their distresses,

Psa 107:7

He led them also by a straight way,

That they might go to a city of habitation.

Psa 107:8

Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,

And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

Psa 107:9

For he satisfieth the longing soul,

And the hungry soul he filleth with good.

Psa 107:10

Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,

Being bound in affliction and iron,

Psa 107:11

Because they rebelled against the words of God,

And contemned the counsel of the Most High:

Psa 107:12

Therefore he brought down their heart with labor;

They fell down, and there was none to help.

Psa 107:13

Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble,

And he saved them out of their distresses.

Psa 107:14

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,

And brake their bonds in sunder.

Psa 107:15

Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,

And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

Psa 107:16

For he hath broken the gates of brass,

And cut the bars of iron in sunder.

Psa 107:17

Fools because of their transgression,

And because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

Psa 107:18

Their soul abhorreth all manner of food;

And they draw near unto the gates of death.

Psa 107:19

Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble,

And he saveth them out of their distresses.

Psa 107:20

He sendeth his word, and healeth them,

And delivereth them from their destructions.

Psa 107:21

Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,

And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

Psa 107:22

And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving,

And declare his works with singing.

Psa 107:23

They that go down to the sea in ships,

That do business in great waters;

Psa 107:24

These see the works of Jehovah,

And his wonders in the deep.

Psa 107:25

For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind,

Which lifteth up the waves thereof.

Psa 107:26

They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths:

Their soul melteth away because of trouble.

Psa 107:27

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,

And are at their wits’ end.

Psa 107:28

Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble,

And he bringeth them out of their distresses.

Psa 107:29

He maketh the storm a calm,

So that the waves thereof are still.

Psa 107:30

Then are they glad because they are quiet;

So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

Psa 107:31

Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,

And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

Psa 107:32

Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people,

And praise him in the seat of the elders.

Psa 107:33

He turneth rivers into a wilderness,

And watersprings into a thirsty ground;

Psa 107:34

A fruitful land into a salt desert,

For the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

Psa 107:35

He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water,

And a dry land into watersprings.

Psa 107:36

And there he maketh the hungry to dwell,

That they may prepare a city of habitation,

Psa 107:37

And sow fields, and plant vineyards,

And get them fruits of increase.

Psa 107:38

He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly;

And he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

Psa 107:39

Again, they are diminished and bowed down

Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.

Psa 107:40

He poureth contempt upon princes,

And causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.

Psa 107:41

Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction,

And maketh him families like a flock.

Psa 107:42

The upright shall see it, and be glad;

And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

Psa 107:43

Whoso is wise will give heed to these things;

And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah.
