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 5
(Psalms 107-150)
1Praise the Lord, because he is good!
His faithful love will last forever!
2Everyone the Lord has saved should repeat that word of thanks.
Praise him, all who have been rescued from the enemy.
3He gathered his people together from many different countries.
He brought them from east and west, north and south.#107:3 south Or “the Sea.” This might refer to all the coastal areas around the Mediterranean Sea.
4Some of them wandered in the dry desert.
They were looking for a place to live,
but they could not find a city.
5They were hungry and thirsty
and growing weak.
6Then they called to the Lord for help,
and he saved them from their troubles.
7He led them straight to the city where they would live.
8Thank the Lord for his faithful love
and for the amazing things he does for people.
9He satisfies those who are thirsty.
He fills those who are hungry with good things.
10Some of God’s people were prisoners,
locked behind bars in dark prisons.
11That was because they had fought against what God said.
They refused to listen to the advice of God Most High.
12God made life hard for those people
because of what they did.
They stumbled and fell,
and there was no one to help them.
13They were in trouble, so they called to the Lord for help,
and he saved them from their troubles.
14He took them out of their dark prisons.
He broke the ropes that held them.
15Thank the Lord for his faithful love
and for the amazing things he does for people.
16He breaks down their bronze gates.
He shatters their iron bars.
17Some people became fools and turned against God,
and they suffered for the evil they did.
18They became so sick that they refused to eat,
so they almost died.
19They were in trouble, so they called to the Lord for help,
and he saved them from their troubles.
20He gave the command and healed them,
so they were saved from the grave.
21Thank the Lord for his faithful love
and for the amazing things he does for people.
22Offer sacrifices of thanks to him.
Sing with joy about all that he has done.
23Some sailed the sea in ships.
Their work carried them across the water.
24They saw what the Lord can do.
They saw the amazing things he did at sea.
25He gave the command, and a strong wind began to blow.
The waves became higher and higher.
26The waves lifted them high into the sky
and dropped them into the deep sea.
The storm was so dangerous that the men lost their courage.
27They were stumbling and falling like someone who is drunk.
Their skill as sailors was useless.
28They were in trouble, so they called to the Lord for help,
and he saved them from their troubles.
29He stopped the storm
and calmed the waves.
30The sailors were happy that the sea became calm,
and he led them safely to where they wanted to go.
31Thank the Lord for his faithful love
and for the amazing things he does for people.
32Praise God in the great assembly.
Praise him when the older leaders meet together.
33He changed rivers into a desert.
He stopped springs from flowing.
34He made the fertile land become salty,
because the people living there did such evil things.
35He changed the desert into a land with pools of water.
He caused springs to flow from dry ground.
36He led the hungry to that good land,
and they built a city to live in.
37They planted seeds in their fields and grapes in their vineyards,
and they had a good harvest.
38God blessed them with many children
and plenty of animals.
39But because of disaster and troubles,
their families became small and weak.
40God shames even great leaders
and makes them wander through empty deserts.
41But he rescues the poor from their misery.
He makes their families large like flocks of sheep.
42Good people see this and are happy.
But the wicked see it and don’t know what to say.
43Whoever is wise will remember these things
and begin to understand the Lord’s faithful love.
