Psalm 107 1-15

1 “Give thanks to the Lord, because he is good;

2 Repeat these words in praise to the Lord,
all you whom he has saved.
He has rescued you from your enemies

3 and has brought you back from foreign countries,
from east and west, from north and south.

4 Some wandered in the trackless desert
and could not find their way to a city to live in.

5 They were hungry and thirsty
and had given up all hope.

6 Then in their trouble they called to the Lord,
and he saved them from their distress.

7 He led them by a straight road
to a city where they could live.

8 They must thank the Lord for his constant love,
for the wonderful things he did for them.

9 He satisfies those who are thirsty
and fills the hungry with good things.

10 Some were living in gloom and darkness,
prisoners suffering in chains,

11 because they had rebelled against the commands of Almighty God
and had rejected his instructions.

12 They were worn out from hard work;
they would fall down, and no one would help.

13 Then in their trouble they called to the Lord,
and he saved them from their distress.

14 He brought them out of their gloom and darkness
and broke their chains in pieces.

15 They must thank the Lord for his constant love,
for the wonderful things he did for them.
