Psalm chapter 107

English Standard Version

1Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! 2Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble 3and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south. 4Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in; 5hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them. 6Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. 7He led them by a straight way till they reached a city to dwell in. 8Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! 9For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things. 10Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and in irons, 11for they had rebelled against the words of God, and spurned the counsel of the Most High. 12So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor; they fell down, with none to help. 13Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. 14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart. 15Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! 16For he shatters the doors of bronze and cuts in two the bars of iron. 17Some were fools through their sinful ways, and because of their iniquities suffered affliction; 18they loathed any kind of food, and they drew near to the gates of death. 19Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. 20He sent out his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction. 21Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! 22And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, and tell of his deeds in songs of joy! 23Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters; 24they saw the deeds of the LORD, his wondrous works in the deep. 25For he commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea. 26They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their evil plight; 27they reeled and staggered like drunken men and were at their wits’ end. 28Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. 29He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. 30Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven. 31Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! 32Let them extol him in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. 33He turns rivers into a desert, springs of water into thirsty ground, 34a fruitful land into a salty waste, because of the evil of its inhabitants. 35He turns a desert into pools of water, a parched land into springs of water. 36And there he lets the hungry dwell, and they establish a city to live in; 37they sow fields and plant vineyards and get a fruitful yield. 38By his blessing they multiply greatly, and he does not let their livestock diminish. 39When they are diminished and brought low through oppression, evil, and sorrow, 40he pours contempt on princes and makes them wander in trackless wastes; 41but he raises up the needy out of affliction and makes their families like flocks. 42The upright see it and are glad, and all wickedness shuts its mouth. 43Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things; let them consider the steadfast love of the LORD.
New International Version

1Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. 2Let the redeemed of the LORD tell their story-- those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,
3those he gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south. 4Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no way to a city where they could settle. 5They were hungry and thirsty, and their lives ebbed away. 6Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. 7He led them by a straight way to a city where they could settle. 8Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind,
9for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things. 10Some sat in darkness, in utter darkness, prisoners suffering in iron chains, 11because they rebelled against God's commands and despised the plans of the Most High. 12So he subjected them to bitter labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help. 13Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. 14He brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness, and broke away their chains. 15Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind,
16for he breaks down gates of bronze and cuts through bars of iron. 17Some became fools through their rebellious ways and suffered affliction because of their iniquities. 18They loathed all food and drew near the gates of death. 19Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. 20He sent out his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave. 21Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind.
22Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of his works with songs of joy. 23Some went out on the sea in ships; they were merchants on the mighty waters. 24They saw the works of the LORD, his wonderful deeds in the deep. 25For he spoke and stirred up a tempest that lifted high the waves. 26They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths; in their peril their courage melted away. 27They reeled and staggered like drunkards; they were at their wits' end. 28Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress. 29He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. 30They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven. 31Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind.
32Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people and praise him in the council of the elders. 33He turned rivers into a desert, flowing springs into thirsty ground, 34and fruitful land into a salt waste, because of the wickedness of those who lived there. 35He turned the desert into pools of water and the parched ground into flowing springs; 36there he brought the hungry to live, and they founded a city where they could settle. 37They sowed fields and planted vineyards that yielded a fruitful harvest;
38he blessed them, and their numbers greatly increased, and he did not let their herds diminish. 39Then their numbers decreased, and they were humbled by oppression, calamity and sorrow; 40he who pours contempt on nobles made them wander in a trackless waste. 41But he lifted the needy out of their affliction and increased their families like flocks.
42The upright see and rejoice, but all the wicked shut their mouths. 43Let the one who is wise heed these things and ponder the loving deeds of the LORD.
New American Standard Bible

1Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, For His mercy is everlasting. 2The redeemed of the Lord shall say so, Those whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy 3And gathered from the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south. 4They wandered in the wilderness in a desert region; They did not find a way to an inhabited city. 5 They were hungry and thirsty; Their souls felt weak within them. 6Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; He saved them from their distresses. 7He also had them walk on a straight way, To go to an inhabited city. 8They shall give thanks to the Lord for His mercy, And for His wonders to the sons of mankind! 9For He has satisfied the thirsty soul, And He has filled the hungry soul with what is good. 10There were those who lived in darkness and in the shadow of death, Prisoners in misery and chains, 11Because they had rebelled against the words of God And rejected the plan of the Most High. 12Therefore He humbled their heart with labor; They stumbled and there was no one to help. 13Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; He saved them from their distresses. 14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death And broke their bands apart. 15They shall give thanks to the Lord for His mercy, And for His wonders to the sons of mankind! 16For He has shattered gates of bronze And cut off bars of iron. 17Fools, because of their rebellious way, And because of their guilty deeds, were afflicted. 18Their souls loathed all kinds of food, And they came close to the gates of death. 19Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; He saved them from their distresses. 20He sent His word and healed them, And saved them from their destruction. 21They shall give thanks to the Lord for His mercy, And for His wonders to the sons of mankind! 22They shall also offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, And tell of His works with joyful singing. 23Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business on great waters; 24They have seen the works of the Lord, And His wonders in the deep. 25For He spoke and raised a stormy wind, Which lifted the waves of the sea. 26They rose up to the heavens, they went down to the depths; Their soul melted away in their misery. 27They reeled and staggered like a drunken person, And were at their wits’ end. 28Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, And He brought them out of their distresses. 29He caused the storm to be still, So that the waves of the sea were hushed. 30Then they were glad because they were quiet, So He guided them to their desired harbor. 31They shall give thanks to the Lord for His mercy, And for His wonders to the sons of mankind! 32They shall also exalt Him in the congregation of the people, And praise Him at the seat of the elders. 33He turns rivers into a wilderness, And springs of water into a thirsty ground; 34 And a fruitful land into a salt waste, Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it. 35He turns a wilderness into a pool of water, And a dry land into springs of water; 36And He has the hungry live there, So that they may establish an inhabited city, 37And sow fields and plant vineyards, And gather a fruitful harvest. 38He also blesses them and they multiply greatly, And He does not let their cattle decrease. 39When they become few and lowly Because of oppression, misery, and sorrow, 40He pours contempt upon noblemen And makes them wander in a pathless wasteland. 41But He sets the needy securely on high, away from affliction, And makes his families like a flock. 42The upright see it and are glad; But all injustice shuts its mouth. 43Who is wise? He is to pay attention to these things, And consider the mercy of the Lord.
Christian Standard Bible

1Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his faithful love endures forever. 2Let the redeemed of the Lord proclaim that he has redeemed them from the power of the foe
3and has gathered them from the lands -- from the east and the west, from the north and the south. 4Some wandered in the desolate wilderness, finding no way to a city where they could live. 5They were hungry and thirsty; their spirits failed within them. 6Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; he rescued them from their distress. 7He led them by the right path to go to a city where they could live. 8Let them give thanks to the Lord for his faithful love and his wondrous works for all humanity.
9For he has satisfied the thirsty and filled the hungry with good things. 10Others sat in darkness and gloom -- prisoners in cruel chains -- 11because they rebelled against God's commands and despised the counsel of the Most High. 12He broke their spirits with hard labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help. 13Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; he saved them from their distress. 14He brought them out of darkness and gloom and broke their chains apart. 15Let them give thanks to the Lord for his faithful love and his wondrous works for all humanity.
16For he has broken down the bronze gates and cut through the iron bars. 17Fools suffered affliction because of their rebellious ways and their iniquities. 18They loathed all food and came near the gates of death. 19Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; he saved them from their distress. 20He sent his word and healed them; he rescued them from their traps. 21Let them give thanks to the Lord for his faithful love and his wondrous works for all humanity.
22Let them offer thanksgiving sacrifices and announce his works with shouts of joy. 23Others went to sea in ships, conducting trade on the vast water. 24They saw the Lord's works, his wondrous works in the deep. 25He spoke and raised a stormy wind that stirred up the waves of the sea. 26Rising up to the sky, sinking down to the depths, their courage melting away in anguish, 27they reeled and staggered like a drunkard, and all their skill was useless. 28Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress. 29He stilled the storm to a whisper, and the waves of the sea were hushed. 30They rejoiced when the waves grew quiet. Then he guided them to the harbor they longed for. 31Let them give thanks to the Lord for his faithful love and his wondrous works for all humanity.
32Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people and praise him in the council of the elders. 33He turns rivers into desert, springs into thirsty ground, 34and fruitful land into salty wasteland, because of the wickedness of its inhabitants. 35He turns a desert into a pool, dry land into springs. 36He causes the hungry to settle there, and they establish a city where they can live. 37They sow fields and plant vineyards that yield a fruitful harvest.
38He blesses them, and they multiply greatly; he does not let their livestock decrease. 39When they are diminished and are humbled by cruel oppression and sorrow, 40he pours contempt on nobles and makes them wander in a trackless wasteland. 41But he lifts the needy out of their suffering and makes their families multiply like flocks.
42The upright see it and rejoice, and all injustice shuts its mouth. 43Let whoever is wise pay attention to these things and consider the Lord's acts of faithful love.
New Living Translation

1Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. 2Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out! Tell others he has redeemed you from your enemies. 3For he has gathered the exiles from many lands, from east and west, from north and south.
4Some wandered in the wilderness, lost and homeless. 5Hungry and thirsty, they nearly died. 6'Lord, help!' they cried in their trouble, and he rescued them from their distress. 7He led them straight to safety, to a city where they could live. 8Let them praise the Lord for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them. 9For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
10Some sat in darkness and deepest gloom, imprisoned in iron chains of misery. 11They rebelled against the words of God, scorning the counsel of the Most High. 12That is why he broke them with hard labor; they fell, and no one was there to help them. 13'Lord, help!' they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. 14He led them from the darkness and deepest gloom; he snapped their chains. 15Let them praise the Lord for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them. 16For he broke down their prison gates of bronze; he cut apart their bars of iron.
17Some were fools; they rebelled and suffered for their sins. 18They couldn’t stand the thought of food, and they were knocking on death’s door. 19'Lord, help!' they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. 20He sent out his word and healed them, snatching them from the door of death. 21Let them praise the Lord for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them. 22Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and sing joyfully about his glorious acts.
23Some went off to sea in ships, plying the trade routes of the world. 24They, too, observed the Lord’s power in action, his impressive works on the deepest seas. 25He spoke, and the winds rose, stirring up the waves. 26Their ships were tossed to the heavens and plunged again to the depths; the sailors cringed in terror. 27They reeled and staggered like drunkards and were at their wits’ end. 28'Lord, help!' they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. 29He calmed the storm to a whisper and stilled the waves. 30What a blessing was that stillness as he brought them safely into harbor! 31Let them praise the Lord for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them. 32Let them exalt him publicly before the congregation and before the leaders of the nation.
33He changes rivers into deserts, and springs of water into dry, thirsty land. 34He turns the fruitful land into salty wastelands, because of the wickedness of those who live there. 35But he also turns deserts into pools of water, the dry land into springs of water. 36He brings the hungry to settle there and to build their cities. 37They sow their fields, plant their vineyards, and harvest their bumper crops. 38How he blesses them! They raise large families there, and their herds of livestock increase.
39When they decrease in number and become impoverished through oppression, trouble, and sorrow, 40the Lord pours contempt on their princes, causing them to wander in trackless wastelands. 41But he rescues the poor from trouble and increases their families like flocks of sheep. 42The godly will see these things and be glad, while the wicked are struck silent. 43Those who are wise will take all this to heart; they will see in our history the faithful love of the Lord.
King James Version

1O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 2Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath 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 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 goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 9For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
10Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron; 11Because they rebelled against the words of God, 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 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 for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 16For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
17Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. 18Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. 19Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth 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 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, and his wonders in the deep. 25For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth 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 to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end. 28Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. 29He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. 30Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. 31Oh that men would praise the LORD 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 turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground; 34A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. 35He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings. 36And there he maketh 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 blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease. 39Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow. 40He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way. 41Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh 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.
