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!

1O give thanks unto the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], for [he is] good: for his mercy [endures] forever.
2Let the redeemed of the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] 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 in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
5Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6Then they cried unto the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] 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-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
9For he satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness.
10Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, [being] bound in affliction and Yir’on [fearing];
11Because they rebelled against the words of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and contemned the counsel of the most High:
12Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and [there was] none to help.
13Then they cried unto the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] in their trouble, [and] he saved them out of their distresses.
14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
15Oh that [men] would praise the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
16For he has broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of Yir’on [fearing] in sunder.
17Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
18Their soul abhors all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
19Then they cry unto the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] in their trouble, [and] he saves them out of their distresses.
20He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered [them] from their destructions.
21Oh that [men] would praise the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
22And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
23They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
24These see the works of the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], and his wonders in the deep.
25For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up the waves thereof.
26They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
27They reel (stagger, walk to and fro like a drunkard) to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.
28Then they cry unto the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] in their trouble, and he brings them out of their distresses.
29He makes the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
30Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he brings them unto their desired haven.
31Oh that [men] would praise the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
32Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33He turns rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;
34A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35He turns the wilderness into a standing 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 sets he the poor on high from affliction, and makes [him] families like a flock.
42The righteous shall see [it], and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43Whoso [is] wise, and will observe these [things], even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate].
