Psalm 107

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

1 (106-1) Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

2 (106-2) Let 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.

3 (106-3) From the rising and from the setting of the sun, from the north and from the sea.

4 (106-4) They wandered in a wilderness, in a place without water: they found not the way of a city for their habitation.

5 (106-5) They were hungry and thirsty: their soul fainted in them.

6 (106-6) And they cried to the Lord in their tribulation: and he delivered them out of their distresses.

7 (106-7) And he led them into the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

8 (106-8) Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.

9 (106-9) For he hath satisfied the empty soul, and hath filled the hungry soul with good things.

10 (106-10) Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death: bound in want and in iron.

11 (106-11) Because they had exasperated the words of God: and provoked the counsel of the most High:

12 (106-12) And their heart was humbled with labours: they were weakened, and there was none to help them.

13 (106-13) Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.

14 (106-14) And he brought them out of darkness, and the shadow of death; and broke their bonds in sunder.

15 (106-15) Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.

16 (106-16) Because he hath broken gates of brass, and burst iron bars.

17 (106-17) He took them out of the way of their iniquity: for they were brought low for their injustices.

18 (106-18) Their soul abhorred all manner of meat: and they drew nigh even to the gates of death.

19 (106-19) And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.

20 (106-20) He sent his word, and healed them: and delivered them from their destructions.

21 (106-21) Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.

22 (106-22) And let them sacrifice the sacrifice of praise: and declare his works with joy.

23 (106-23) They that go down to the sea in ships, doing business in the great waters:

24 (106-24) These have seen the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.

25 (106-25) He said the word, and there arose a storm of wind: and the waves thereof were lifted up.

26 (106-26) They mount up to the heavens, and they go down to the depths: their soul pined away with evils.

27 (106-27) They were troubled, and reeled like a drunken man; and all their wisdom was swallowed up.

28 (106-28) And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he brought them out of their distresses.

29 (106-29) And he turned the storm into a breeze: and its waves were still.

30 (106-30) And they rejoiced because they were still: and he brought them to the haven which they wished for.

31 (106-31) Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.

32 (106-32) And let them exalt him in the church of the people: and praise him in the chair of the ancients.

33 (106-33) He hath turned rivers into a wilderness: and the sources of waters into dry ground:

34 (106-34) A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

35 (106-35) He hath turned a wilderness into pools of waters, and a dry land into water springs.

36 (106-36) And hath placed there the hungry; and they made a city for their habitation.

37 (106-37) Anti they sowed fields, and planted vineyards: and they yielded fruit of birth.

38 (106-38) And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly: and their cattle he suffered not to decrease.

39 (106-39) Then they were brought to be few: and they were afflicted through the trouble of evils and sorrow.

40 (106-40) Contempt was poured forth upon their princes: and he caused them to wander where there was no passing, and out of the way.

41 (106-41) And he helped the poor out of poverty: and made him families like a flock of sheep.

42 (106-42) The just shall see, and shall rejoice, and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

43 (106-43) Who is wise, and will keep these things; and will understand the mercies of the Lord?

New Living Translation NLT

1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.

2 Has the LORD redeemed you? Then speak out! Tell others he has redeemed you from your enemies.

3 For he has gathered the exiles from many lands, from east and west, from north and south.

4 Some wandered in the wilderness, lost and homeless.

5 Hungry and thirsty, they nearly died.

6 “ LORD, help!” they cried in their trouble, and he rescued them from their distress.

7 He led them straight to safety, to a city where they could live.

8 Let them praise the LORD for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them.

9 For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.

10 Some sat in darkness and deepest gloom, imprisoned in iron chains of misery.

11 They rebelled against the words of God, scorning the counsel of the Most High.

12 That is why he broke them with hard labor; they fell, and no one was there to help them.

13 “ LORD, help!” they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.

14 He led them from the darkness and deepest gloom; he snapped their chains.

15 Let them praise the LORD for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them.

16 For he broke down their prison gates of bronze; he cut apart their bars of iron.

17 Some were fools; they rebelled and suffered for their sins.

18 They couldn’t stand the thought of food, and they were knocking on death’s door.

19 “ LORD, help!” they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.

20 He sent out his word and healed them, snatching them from the door of death.

21 Let them praise the LORD for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them.

22 Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and sing joyfully about his glorious acts.

23 Some went off to sea in ships, plying the trade routes of the world.

24 They, too, observed the LORD ’s power in action, his impressive works on the deepest seas.

25 He spoke, and the winds rose, stirring up the waves.

26 Their ships were tossed to the heavens and plunged again to the depths; the sailors cringed in terror.

27 They reeled and staggered like drunkards and were at their wits’ end.

28 “ LORD, help!” they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.

29 He calmed the storm to a whisper and stilled the waves.

30 What a blessing was that stillness as he brought them safely into harbor!

31 Let them praise the LORD for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them.

32 Let them exalt him publicly before the congregation and before the leaders of the nation.

33 He changes rivers into deserts, and springs of water into dry, thirsty land.

34 He turns the fruitful land into salty wastelands, because of the wickedness of those who live there.

35 But he also turns deserts into pools of water, the dry land into springs of water.

36 He brings the hungry to settle there and to build their cities.

37 They sow their fields, plant their vineyards, and harvest their bumper crops.

38 How he blesses them! They raise large families there, and their herds of livestock increase.

39 When they decrease in number and become impoverished through oppression, trouble, and sorrow,

40 the LORD pours contempt on their princes, causing them to wander in trackless wastelands.

41 But he rescues the poor from trouble and increases their families like flocks of sheep.

42 The godly will see these things and be glad, while the wicked are struck silent.

43 Those who are wise will take all this to heart; they will see in our history the faithful love of the LORD .
