Psalm 107 :: Bible in Basic English (BBE)

Psa 107:1

Psa 107:1O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

Psa 107:2

Psa 107:2Let those whose cause the Lord has taken up say so, his people whom he has taken out of the hands of their haters;

Psa 107:3

Psa 107:3Making them come together out of all the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.

Psa 107:4

Psa 107:4They were wandering in the waste places; they saw no way to a resting-place.

Psa 107:5

Psa 107:5Their souls became feeble for need of food and drink.

Psa 107:6

Psa 107:6Then they sent up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gave them salvation out of all their troubles;

Psa 107:7

Psa 107:7Guiding them in the right way, so that they might come into the town of their resting-place.

Psa 107:8

Psa 107:8Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!

Psa 107:9

Psa 107:9He gives its desire to the unresting soul, so that it is full of good things.

Psa 107:10

Psa 107:10Those who were in the dark, in the black night, in chains of sorrow and iron;

Psa 107:11

Psa 107:11Because they went against the words of God, and gave no thought to the laws of the Most High:

Psa 107:12

Psa 107:12So that he made their hearts weighted down with grief; they were falling, and had no helper.

Psa 107:13

Psa 107:13Then they sent up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gave them salvation out of all their troubles.

Psa 107:14

Psa 107:14He took them out of the dark and the black night, and all their chains were broken.

Psa 107:15

Psa 107:15Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!

Psa 107:16

Psa 107:16The doors of brass are broken by his arm, and the bands of iron are cut in two.

Psa 107:17

Psa 107:17Foolish men, because of their sins, and because of their wrongdoing, are troubled;

Psa 107:18

Psa 107:18They are disgusted by all food, and they come near to the doors of death.

Psa 107:19

Psa 107:19Then they send up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gives them salvation out of all their troubles.

Psa 107:20

Psa 107:20He sent his word and made them well, and kept them safe from the underworld.

Psa 107:21

Psa 107:21Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!

Psa 107:22

Psa 107:22Let them make offerings of praise, giving news of his works with cries of joy.

Psa 107:23

Psa 107:23Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business in the great waters;

Psa 107:24

Psa 107:24They see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.

Psa 107:25

Psa 107:25For at his word comes up the storm-wind, lifting high the waves.

Psa 107:26

Psa 107:26The sailors go up to heaven, and down into the deep; their souls are wasted because of their trouble.

Psa 107:27

Psa 107:27They are turned here and there, rolling like a man who is full of wine; and all their wisdom comes to nothing.

Psa 107:28

Psa 107:28Then they send up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gives them salvation out of all their troubles.

Psa 107:29

Psa 107:29He makes the storm into a calm, so that the waves are at peace.

Psa 107:30

Psa 107:30Then they are glad, because the sea is quiet, and he takes them to the harbour of their desire.

Psa 107:31

Psa 107:31Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!

Psa 107:32

Psa 107:32Let them give glory to him in the meeting of the people, and praise among the chiefs.

Psa 107:33

Psa 107:33He makes rivers into waste places, and springs of water into a dry land;

Psa 107:34

Psa 107:34He makes a fertile country into a salt waste, because of the sins of those who are living there.

Psa 107:35

Psa 107:35He makes a waste land into a place of water, and a dry land into water-springs.

Psa 107:36

Psa 107:36And there he gives the poor a resting-place, so that they may make themselves a town;

Psa 107:37

Psa 107:37And put seed in the fields and make vine-gardens, to give them fruit.

Psa 107:38

Psa 107:38He gives them his blessing so that they are increased greatly, and their cattle do not become less.

Psa 107:39

Psa 107:39And when they are made low, and crushed by trouble and sorrow,

Psa 107:40

Psa 107:40He puts an end to the pride of kings, and sends them wandering in the waste lands where there is no way.

Psa 107:41

Psa 107:41But he puts the poor man on high from his troubles, and gives him families like a flock.

Psa 107:42

Psa 107:42The upright see it and are glad: the mouth of the sinner is stopped.

Psa 107:43

Psa 107:43Let the wise give thought to these things, and see the mercies of the Lord.
