Psalm 107

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 Give thanks to the LORD, For he is good, For his lovingkindness endures forever.

2 Let the redeemed by the LORD say so, Whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,

3 Gathered out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.

4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way. They found no city to live in.

5 Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them.

6 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distresses,

7 He led them also by a straight way, That they might go to a city to live in.

8 Let them praise the LORD for his lovingkindness, For his wonderful works to the children of men!

9 For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good.

10 Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron,

11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, And condemned the counsel of Ha`Elyon.

12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labor. They fell down, and there was none to help.

13 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, And he saved them out of their distresses.

14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And broke their bonds in sunder.

15 Let them praise the LORD for his lovingkindness, For his wonderful works to the children of men!

16 For he has broken the gates of brass, And cut through bars of iron.

17 Fools are afflicted because of their disobedience, And because of their iniquities.

18 Their soul abhors all kinds of food. They draw near to the gates of death.

19 Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, He saves them out of their distresses.

20 He sends his word, and heals them, And delivers them from their graves.

21 Let them praise the LORD for his lovingkindness, For his wonderful works to the children of men!

22 Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare his works with singing.

23 Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business in great waters;

24 These see the LORD's works, And his wonders in the deep.

25 For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, Which lifts up its waves.

26 They mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths. Their soul melts away because of trouble.

27 They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man, And are at their wits' end.

28 Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, He brings them out of their distress.

29 He makes the storm a calm, So that its waves are still.

30 Then are they glad because it is calm, So he brings them to their desired haven.

31 Let them praise the LORD for his lovingkindness, For his wonderful works to the children of men!

32 Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, And praise him in the seat of the Zakenim.

33 He turns rivers into a desert, Water springs into a thirsty ground,

34 And a fruitful land into a salt waste, For the wickedness of those who dwell in it.

35 He turns a desert into a pool of water, And a dry land into water springs.

36 There he makes the hungry to live, That they may prepare a city to live in,

37 Sow fields, plant vineyards, And reap the fruits of increase.

38 He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly. He doesn't allow their cattle to decrease.

39 Again, they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.

40 He pours contempt on princes, And causes them to wander in a trackless waste.

41 Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction, And increases their families like a flock.

42 The upright will see it, and be glad. All the wicked will shut their mouths.

43 Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things. They will consider the lovingkindnesses of the LORD.

The Message Bible MSG

1 Oh, thank God - he's so good! His love never runs out.

2 All of you set free by God, tell the world! Tell how he freed you from oppression,

3 Then rounded you up from all over the place, from the four winds, from the seven seas.

4 Some of you wandered for years in the desert, looking but not finding a good place to live,

5 Half-starved and parched with thirst, staggering and stumbling, on the brink of exhaustion.

6 Then, in your desperate condition, you called out to God. He got you out in the nick of time;

7 He put your feet on a wonderful road that took you straight to a good place to live.

8 So thank God for his marvelous love, for his miracle mercy to the children he loves.

9 He poured great draughts of water down parched throats; the starved and hungry got plenty to eat.

10 Some of you were locked in a dark cell, cruelly confined behind bars,

11 Punished for defying God's Word, for turning your back on the High God's counsel -

12 A hard sentence, and your hearts so heavy, and not a soul in sight to help.

13 Then you called out to God in your desperate condition; he got you out in the nick of time.

14 He led you out of your dark, dark cell, broke open the jail and led you out.

15 So thank God for his marvelous love, for his miracle mercy to the children he loves;

16 He shattered the heavy jailhouse doors, he snapped the prison bars like matchsticks!

17 Some of you were sick because you'd lived a bad life, your bodies feeling the effects of your sin;

18 You couldn't stand the sight of food, so miserable you thought you'd be better off dead.

19 Then you called out to God in your desperate condition; he got you out in the nick of time.

20 He spoke the word that healed you, that pulled you back from the brink of death.

21 So thank God for his marvelous love, for his miracle mercy to the children he loves;

22 Offer thanksgiving sacrifices, tell the world what he's done - sing it out!

23 Some of you set sail in big ships; you put to sea to do business in faraway ports.

24 Out at sea you saw God in action, saw his breathtaking ways with the ocean:

25 With a word he called up the wind - an ocean storm, towering waves!

26 You shot high in the sky, then the bottom dropped out; your hearts were stuck in your throats.

27 You were spun like a top, you reeled like a drunk, you didn't know which end was up.

28 Then you called out to God in your desperate condition; he got you out in the nick of time.

29 He quieted the wind down to a whisper, put a muzzle on all the big waves.

30 And you were so glad when the storm died down, and he led you safely back to harbor.

31 So thank God for his marvelous love, for his miracle mercy to the children he loves.

32 Lift high your praises when the people assemble, shout Hallelujah when the elders meet!

33 God turned rivers into wasteland, springs of water into sunbaked mud;

34 Luscious orchards became alkali flats because of the evil of the people who lived there.

35 Then he changed wasteland into fresh pools of water, arid earth into springs of water,

36 Brought in the hungry and settled them there; they moved in - what a great place to live!

37 They sowed the fields, they planted vineyards, they reaped a bountiful harvest.

38 He blessed them and they prospered greatly; their herds of cattle never decreased.

39 But abuse and evil and trouble declined

40 as he heaped scorn on princes and sent them away. He gave the poor a safe place to live,

41 treated their clans like well-cared-for sheep.

42 Good people see this and are glad; bad people are speechless, stopped in their tracks.

43 If you are really wise, you'll think this over - it's time you appreciated God's deep love.
