Psalms 107
107
God’s Constant Love
1Let everyone give all their praise and thanks to the Lord!
Here’s why—he’s better than anyone could ever imagine.
Yes, he’s always loving and kind, and his faithful love never ends.
2-3So, go ahead—let everyone know it!
Tell the world how he broke through
and delivered you from the power of darkness and
has gathered us together from all over the world.
He has set us free to be his very own!
4Some of us once wandered in the wilderness like desert nomads,
with no true direction or dwelling place.
5Starving, thirsting, staggering,
we became desperate and filled with despair.
6Then we cried out, “Lord, help us! Rescue us!” And he did!
7He led us out by the right way
until we reached a suitable city to dwell in.
8So lift your hands and thank God for his marvelous kindness
and for all his miracles of mercy for those he loves.
9How he satisfies the souls of thirsty ones
and fills the hungry with goodness!
10Some of us once sat in darkness,
living in the dark shadows of death.
We were prisoners to our pain, chained to our regrets.
11For we rebelled against God’s Word
and rejected the wise counsel of God Most High.
12So he humbled us through our circumstances,
watching us as we stumbled, with no one there to pick us back up.
Our own pain became our punishment.
13Then we cried out, “Lord, help us! Rescue us!” And he did!
14His light broke through the darkness and
he led us out in freedom from death’s dark shadow
and snapped every one of our chains.
15So lift your hands and give thanks to God for his marvelous kindness
and for his miracles of mercy for those he loves!
16For he smashed through heavy prison doors and
shattered the steel bars that held us back, just to set us free!
17Some of us were such fools, bringing on ourselves
sorrow and suffering all because of our sins.
18Sick and feeble, unable to stand the sight of food,
we drew near to the gates of death.
19Then we cried out, “Lord, help us! Rescue us!” And he did!
20God spoke the words “Be healed,” and we were healed,
delivered from death’s door!
21So lift your hands and give thanks to God for his marvelous kindness
and for his miracles of mercy for those he loves!
22Bring your praise as an offering and your thanks as a sacrifice
as you sing your story of miracles with a joyful song.
23Some of us set sail upon the sea to faraway ports,
transporting our goods from ship to shore.
24We were witnesses of God’s power out in the ocean deep;
we saw breathtaking wonders upon the high seas.
25When God spoke he stirred up a storm,
lifting high the waves with hurricane winds.
26-27Ships were tossed by the swelling sea, rising to the sky,
then dropping down to the depths,
reeling like drunkards, spinning like tops,
everyone at their wits’ end until even sailors despaired of life, cringing in terror.
28Then we cried out, “Lord, help us! Rescue us!” And he did!
29God stilled the storm, calmed the waves,
and he hushed the hurricane winds to only a whisper.
30We were so relieved, so glad as he guided us
safely to harbor in a quiet haven.
31So lift your hands and give thanks to God for his marvelous kindness
and for his miracles of mercy for those he loves!
32Let’s exalt him on high and lift up our praises in public;
let all the people and the leaders of the nation know
how great and wonderful is Yahweh, our God!
33Whenever he chooses he can dry up a river
and turn the land into a desert.
34Or he can take a fruitful land and make it into a saltwater swamp,
all because of the wickedness of those who dwell there.
35But he also can turn a barren wilderness into an oasis with water!
He can make springs flow into desert lands
36and turn them into fertile valleys so that cities spring up,
and he gives it all to those who are hungry.
37They can plant their fields and vineyards there
and reap a bumper crop and gather a fruitful harvest.
38God will bless them and cause them to multiply and prosper.
39But others will become poor,
humbled because of their oppression, tyranny, and sorrows.
40For God pours contempt upon their arrogant abuse of power,
heaping scorn upon their princes,
and makes them wander among ruins.
41But he raises up the poor and lowly with his favor,
giving them a safe place to live where no one can touch them.
God will grant them a large family and bless them!
42The lovers of God will rejoice when they see this.
Good men are glad when the evil ones are silenced.
43If you are truly wise, you’ll learn from what I’ve told you.
It’s time for you to consider these profound lessons
of God’s great love and mercy!

BOOK FIVE
Psalms 107–150
1Oh, give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good,
for His mercy endures forever!
2#Ps 63:1; 84:2 Let the redeemed of the Lord speak out,
whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,
3#Ps 79:10; 80:5 and gathered them from the lands,
from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
4#Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8 They wandered in the wilderness on a deserted path;
they found no city to dwell in.
5#Ps 42:11; 43:5 Hungry and thirsty,
their soul fainted in them.
6#2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble,
and He delivered them out of their distresses.
7#Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3 He led them on a level road,
that they might go to a city to live in.
8#Job 35:10; Ps 63:6 Let them praise the Lord for His goodness
and for His wonderful works to the people!
9#Ps 38:6; 18:2 For He satisfies the longing soul
and fills the hungry soul with goodness.
10#Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17 Some sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
being prisoners in affliction and irons,
11#Ps 42:5; 43:5 because they rebelled against the words of God
and rejected the counsel of the Most High.
12Therefore He brought down their hearts with hard labor;
they fell down, and there was none to help.
13Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble,
and He delivered them out of their distress.
14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death
and broke apart their bonds.
15Let them praise the Lord for His goodness
and for His wonderful works to the people!
16For He has broken the gates of bronze
and cut the bars of iron in two.
17Some were fools because of their transgressions,
and because of their iniquities they are afflicted.
18They loathed all manner of food,
and they drew near to the gates of death.
19Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble,
and He saved them out of their distress.
20He sent His word and healed them
and delivered them from their destruction.
21Let them praise the Lord for His goodness
and for His wonderful works to the people!
22And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving
and declare His works with rejoicing.
23Some went down to the sea in ships,
to do business in the vast waters;
24they saw the works of the Lord
and His wonders in the deep water.
25For He commands and raises the stormy wind,
which lifts up the sea waves.
26The sailors went up to the sky, they came down to the depths;
their strength melted because of the great danger.
27They reeled to and fro and staggered like drunken men,
and were completely confused.
28Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
and He saved them out of their distress.
29He made the storm calm,
and the sea waves were still.
30They were glad because the waters were quiet,
so He brought them to their desired harbor.
31Let them praise the Lord for His goodness
and for His wonderful works to the people!
32Let them exalt Him in the congregation of the people,
and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33He turns rivers into a desert,
water springs into dry ground,
34a fruitful land into salty wasteland,
because of the wickedness of those living there.
35He turns a wilderness into pools of water,
a parched ground into springs of water.
36There He makes the hungry dwell,
and they prepare a city to live in;
37they sow fields and plant vineyards,
and yield a fruitful harvest.
38He blesses them, so that they are greatly multiplied,
and He does not let their livestock decrease.
39But when they are diminished and brought down
through oppression, affliction, and sorrow,
40He pours contempt upon princes,
and causes them to wander in a wilderness with no road;
41yet He raises up the poor from affliction
and cares for their families like flocks of sheep.
42The righteous shall see it and rejoice,
and all evil people shall stop their mouth.
43Whoever is wise let him observe these things;
let them consider the lovingkindness of the Lord.
