Psalms 107:2-18
-
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
-
3 And gathered them 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 solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
-
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
-
6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
-
7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
-
8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
-
9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
-
10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
-
11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
-
12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
-
13 Then they cried unto 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 brake their bands in sunder.
-
15 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
-
16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
-
17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
-
18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
