Psalm 107

Part I

Confitemini Domino

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, *

and his mercy endures for ever.

Let all those whom the Lord has redeemed proclaim *

that he redeemed them from the hand of the foe.

He gathered them out of the lands; *

from the east and from the west,

from the north and from the south.

Some went down to the sea in ships *

and plied their trade in deep waters;

They beheld the works of the Lord *

and his wonders in the deep.

Then he spoke, and a stormy wind arose, *

which tossed high the waves of the sea.

They mounted up to the heavens and fell back to the depths; *

their hearts melted because of their peril.

They reeled and staggered like drunkards *

and were at their wits’ end.

Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, *

and he delivered them from their distress.

He stilled the storm to a whisper *

and quieted the waves of the sea.

Then were they glad because of the calm, *

and he brought them to the harbor they were bound for.

Let them give thanks to the Lord for his mercy *

and the wonders he does for his children.

Let them exalt him in the congregation of the people *

and praise him in the council of the elders.
