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!

PSALM 107
1 Alleluia. Acknowledge ye to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy is into the world.
2Say they, that be again-bought of the Lord; which he again-bought from the hand of the enemy,
3from countries he gathered them together. From the rising of the sun, and from the going down; from the north, and from the sea.
4They erred in wilderness, in a place without water; they found not way of the city of dwelling place.
5They were hungry and thirsty; their souls failed in them.
6And they cried to the Lord, when they were set in tribulation; and he delivered them from their needinesses.
7And he led forth them into the right way; that they should go into the city of dwelling.
8The mercies of the Lord, acknowl-edge to him; and his marvels acknowl-edge to the sons of men.
9For he [ful] filled a void man; and he filled with goods an hungry man.
10 God delivered men sitting in dark-ness, and in the shadow of death; and men imprisoned in beggary, and in irons.
11For they made bitter the speeches of God; and wrathed the counsel of the Highest.
12And the heart of them was made meek in travails; and they were sick, and none was that helped.
13And they cried to the Lord, when they were set in tribulation; and he delivered them from their needinesses.
14And he led them out of dark-nesses, and [the] shadow of death; and brake the bonds of them.
15The mercies of the Lord, ac-knowledge to him; and his marvels, acknowledge to the sons of men.
16For he all-brake [the] brazen gates; and he brake [the] iron bars.
17He up-took them from the way of their wickedness; for they were made low for their unrightfulnesses.
18The soul of them loathed all meat; and they nighed unto the gates of death.
19And they cried to the Lord, when they were set in tribulation; and he delivered them from their needinesses.
20He sent his word, and healed them; and delivered them from the perishings of them.
21The mercies of the Lord, ac-knowledge to him; and his marvels to the sons of men.
22And offer they the sacrifice of praising; and tell they his works with full out joying.
23They that go down into the sea in ships; and make working in many waters.
24They saw the works of the Lord; and his marvels in the depth.
25He said, and the spirit of tempest stood; and the waves thereof were areared.
26They ascend [or go up] till to heavens, and go down unto the depths; the soul of them failed in evils.
27They were troubled, and they were moved as a drunken man; and all the wisdom of them was devoured.
28And they cried to the Lord, when they were set in tribulation; and he led them out of their needinesses.
29And he ordained the tempest there-of into a soft wind, either peaceability; and the waves thereof were stilled.
30And they were glad, for those [or they] were still; and he led them forth into the haven of their will.
31The mercies of the Lord, acknowl-edge to him; and his marvels to the sons of men.
32And enhance they him in the church of the people; and praise they him in the chairs of the elder men.
33He hath set floods into desert; and the outgoings of waters into thirsty ground.
34 He hath set fruitful land into salti-ness; for the malice of men dwelling therein.
35He hath set desert into ponds of waters; and [the] earth without water into [the] outgoings of waters.
36And he set there hungry men; and they made a city of dwelling.
37And they sowed fields, and planted vines; and made fruit of birth.
38And he blessed them, and they were multiplied greatly; and he made not less their work beasts.
39And they were made few; and were travailed of tribulation of evils and of sorrow.
40Strife was shed [or poured] out on princes; and he made them for to err without the way, and not in the way.
41And he helped the poor man from poverty; and setted [or put] families as a sheep bringing forth lambs.
42Rightful men shall see, and shall be glad; and all wickedness shall stop his mouth.
43Who is wise, and shall keep these things; and shall understand the mercies of the Lord?
