Psalms 107 - UPDV Updated Bible Version

^107:1 BOOK V. O give thanks to Yahweh; For he is good; For his loving-kindness [endures] forever.
^107:2 Let the redeemed of Yahweh say [so] Whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
^107:3 And gathered out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the west.
^107:4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; They found no city of habitation.
^107:5 Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them.
^107:6 Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distresses,
^107:7 He led them also by a straight way, That they might go to a city of habitation.
^107:8 Oh that men would praise Yahweh for his loving-kindness, And for his wonderful works to the sons of man!
^107:9 For he satisfies the longing soul, And the hungry soul he fills with good.
^107:10 Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron,
^107:11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, And despised the counsel of the Most High:
^107:12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labor; They fell down, and there was none to help.
^107:13 Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, And he saved them out of their distresses.
^107:14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And broke their bonds in sunder.
^107:15 Oh that men would praise Yahweh for his loving-kindness, And for his wonderful works to the sons of man!
^107:16 For he has broken the gates of bronze, And cut the bars of iron in sunder.
^107:17 Fools because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
^107:18 Their soul is disgusted by all manner of food; And they draw near to the gates of death.
^107:19 Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, And he saves them out of their distresses.
^107:20 He sends his word, and heals them, And delivers [them] from their destructions.
^107:21 Oh that men would praise Yahweh for his loving-kindness, And for his wonderful works to the sons of man!
^107:22 And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare his works with singing.
^107:23 Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business in great waters;
^107:24 These see the works of Yahweh, And his wonders in the deep.
^107:25 For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, Which lifts up its waves.
^107:26 They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths: Their soul melts away because of trouble.
^107:27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunk man, And are at their wits' end.
^107:28 Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, And he brings them out of their distresses.
^107:29 He makes the storm be calm, So that its waves are still.
^107:30 Then they are glad because they are quiet; So he brings them to their desired haven.
^107:31 Oh that men would praise Yahweh for his loving-kindness, And for his wonderful works to the sons of man!
^107:32 Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, And praise him in the seat of the elders.
^107:33 He turns rivers into a wilderness, And watersprings into a thirsty ground;
^107:34 A fruitful land into a salt desert, For the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
^107:35 He turns a wilderness into a pool of water, And a dry land into watersprings.
^107:36 And there he makes the hungry to dwell, That they may prepare a city of habitation,
^107:37 And sow fields, and plant vineyards, And get fruits of increase.
^107:38 He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; And he does not allow their cattle to decrease.
^107:39 Again, they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
^107:40 He pours contempt on princes, And causes them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.
^107:41 Yet he sets the needy on high from affliction, And makes [him] families like a flock.
^107:42 The upright will see it, and be glad; And all iniquity will stop her mouth.
^107:43 Whoever is wise will give heed to these things; And they will consider the loving-kindnesses of Yahweh.
