Psalm 107:1-7

New American Standard Bible

BOOK 5

The Lord Rescues People from Many Troubles.

107 ^(A)Give thanks to the Lord, for ^(B)He is good,
For His mercy is everlasting.
²^(C)The redeemed of the Lord shall say so,
Those whom He has ^(D)redeemed from the hand of the enemy
³And ^(E)gathered from the lands,
From the east and from the west,
From the north and from the ^[a]south.

⁴They ^(F)wandered in the wilderness in a ^[b]desert region;
They did not find a way to ^[c]an inhabited ^(G)city.
⁵They were hungry ^[d]and thirsty;
Their ^(H)souls felt weak within them.
⁶Then they ^(I)cried out to the Lord in their trouble;
He saved them from their distresses.
⁷He also had them walk on a ^[e]^(J)straight way,
To go to ^[f]^(K)an inhabited city.

Psalm 107:33-37

New American Standard Bible

³³He ^(A)turns rivers into a ^[a]wilderness,
And springs of water into a thirsty ground;
³⁴And a ^(B)fruitful land into a ^(C)salt waste,
Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
³⁵He ^(D)turns a ^[b]wilderness into a pool of water,
And a dry land into springs of water;
³⁶And He has the hungry live there,
So that they may establish ^[c]^(E)an inhabited city,
³⁷And sow fields and ^(F)plant vineyards,
And ^[d]gather a fruitful harvest.
