Psalm 107

Confitemini Domino

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

and his mercy endures for ever.

Let those whom the Lord has redeemed give thanks, *

whom he has 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.

Those who go down to the sea in ships, *

who carry out their business in great waters,

They behold the works of the Lord *

and his wonders in the deep.

For at his word the stormy wind arises, *

which lifts up the waves.

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

their soul melts 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 delivers them out of their distress.

For he makes the storm to cease, *

so that the waves are still.

Then they are glad, because they are at rest, *

and so he brings them into the haven where they desire to be.

Oh, that they would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness *

and declare the wonders that he does 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!
