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¶ O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy endures for ever.
2Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy
3and gathered them out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
4They wandered lost in the wilderness, alone and out of the way; they found no city to dwell in.
5Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8Oh that men would praise the Lord for his mercy and for his wonderful works unto the sons of Adam!
9For he satisfies the soul that is destitute and fills the hungry soul with goodness.
10¶ Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and in irons,
11because they rebelled against the words of God and condemned the counsel of the most High:
12Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was no one to help.
13Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death and broke their bonds asunder.
15Oh that men would praise the Lord for his mercy and for his wonderful works unto the sons of Adam!
16For he has broken the gates of brass and cut the bars of iron asunder.
17¶ The fools, because of the way of their rebellion, and because of their iniquities, were afflicted.
18Their soul abhorred all manner of food, and they drew near unto the gates of death.
19Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
20He sent his word and healed them and delivered them from their graves.
21Oh that men would praise the Lord for his mercy and for his wonderful works unto the sons of Adam!
22And let them offer the sacrifices of praise and publish his works with singing.
23¶ Those that go down to the sea in ships that do work in many waters,
24these have seen the works of the Lord and his wonders in the deep.
25For he commands and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up its waves.
26They mount up to the heavens; they go down again to the depths; their soul is melted because of trouble.
27They reel to and fro and stagger like a drunken man, and all of their knowledge is of no avail.
28Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivers them out of their afflictions.
29He makes the storm a calm, so that its waves are still.
30Then they are glad because they are at rest; so he brings them into the haven of his will.
31Oh that men would praise the Lord for his mercy and for his wonderful works unto the sons of Adam!
32Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33¶ He turned rivers into a wilderness and the watersprings into dry ground;
34the fruitful land into salt flats, because of the wickedness of those that dwell therein.
35He turns the wilderness into reservoirs of water and dry ground into watersprings.
36And there he makes the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation
37and sow the fields and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
38He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly and suffers not their cattle to decrease.
39Again, they are diminished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
40He pours contempt upon princes and causes them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
41Yet he sets the poor on high from affliction and makes his families like a flock.
42The righteous shall see it and rejoice, and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43Who is wise and will observe these things and shall understand the mercies of the Lord?
