Psalm 107

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 went astray in the wilderness out of the way *

and found no city to dwell in;

Hungry and thirsty *

their soul fainted in them.

So they cried unto the Lord in their trouble *

and he delivered them from their distress.

He led them forth by the right way *

that they might go to the city where they dwelt.

Who turneth the floods into a wilderness *

and drieth up the water-springs.

A fruitful land maketh he barren *

for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

Again, he maketh the wilderness a standing water *

and water-springs of a dry ground.

And there he setteth the hungry *

that they may build them a city to dwell in;

That they may sow their land, and plant vineyards *

to yield them fruits of increase.
