Psalms 106

1Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.● 2Let them say so that have been redeemed by the Lord, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy: and gathered out of the countries.● 3From the rising and from the setting of the sun, from the north and from the sea.● 4They wandered in a wilderness, in a place without water: they found not the way of a city for their habitation.● 5They were hungry and thirsty: their soul fainted in them.● 6And they cried to the Lord in their tribulation: and he delivered them out of their distresses.● 7And he led them into the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.● 8Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.● 9For he hath satisfied the empty soul, and hath filled the hungry soul with good things.● 10Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death: bound in want and in iron.● 11Because they had exasperated the words of God: and provoked the counsel of the most High:● 12And their heart was humbled with labours: they were weakened, and there was none to help them.● 13Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.● 14And he brought them out of darkness, and the shadow of death; and broke their bonds in sunder.● 15Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.● 16Because he hath broken gates of brass, and burst iron bars.● 17He took them out of the way of their iniquity: for they were brought low for their injustices.● 18Their soul abhorred all manner of meat: and they drew nigh even to the gates of death.● 19And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.● 20He sent his word, and healed them: and delivered them from their destructions.● 21Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.● 22And let them sacrifice the sacrifice of praise: and declare his works with joy.● 23They that go down to the sea in ships, doing business in the great waters:● 24These have seen the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.● 25He said the word, and there arose a storm of wind: and the waves thereof were lifted up.● 26They mount up to the heavens, and they go down to the depths: their soul pined away with evils.● 27They were troubled, and reeled like a drunken man; and all their wisdom was swallowed up.● 28And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he brought them out of their distresses.● 29And he turned the storm into a breeze: and its waves were still.● 30And they rejoiced because they were still: and he brought them to the haven which they wished for.● 31Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.● 32And let them exalt him in the church of the people: and praise him in the chair of the ancients.● 33He hath turned rivers into a wilderness: and the sources of waters into dry ground:● 34A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.● 35He hath turned a wilderness into pools of waters, and a dry land into water springs.● 36And hath placed there the hungry; and they made a city for their habitation.● 37Anti they sowed fields, and planted vineyards: and they yielded fruit of birth.● 38And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly: and their cattle he suffered not to decrease.● 39Then they were brought to be few: and they were afflicted through the trouble of evils and sorrow.● 40Contempt was poured forth upon their princes: and he caused them to wander where there was no passing, and out of the way.● 41And he helped the poor out of poverty: and made him families like a flock of sheep.● 42The just shall see, and shall rejoice, and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.● 43Who is wise, and will keep these things; and will understand the mercies of the Lord?●
