Psalm 107

Confitemini Domino

O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious *

and his mercy endureth for ever.

Let them give thanks whom the Lord hath redeemed *

and delivered from the hand of the enemy;

And gathered them out of the lands, from the east and from the west *

from the north and from the south.

They that go down to the sea in ships *

and occupy their business in great waters;

These men see the works of the Lord *

and his wonders in the deep.

For at his word the stormy wind ariseth *

which lifteth up the waves thereof.

They are carried up to the heaven, and down again to the deep *

their soul melteth away because of the trouble.

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man *

and are at their wits’ end.

So when they cry unto the Lord in their trouble *

he delivereth them out of their distress.

For he maketh the storm to cease *

so that the waves thereof are still.

Then are they glad, because they are at rest *

and so he bringeth them unto the haven where they would be.

O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness *

and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!

That they would exalt him also in the congregation of the people *

and praise him in the seat of the elders!
