Psalm 107
English Standard Version
Book Five
Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So
107 (A)Oh give thanks to the Lord, (B)for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever!
2 Let (C)the redeemed of the Lord say so,
whom he has (D)redeemed from trouble[a]
3 and (E)gathered in from the lands,
from the east and from the west,
from the north and from the south.
4 Some (F)wandered in desert wastes,
finding no way (G)to a city to dwell in;
5 hungry and thirsty,
their soul (H)fainted within them.
6 Then they (I)cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
7 He led them by (J)a straight way
till they reached (K)a city to dwell in.
8 (L)Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
for his wondrous works to the children of man!
9 For he (M)satisfies the longing soul,
(N)and the hungry soul he fills with good things.
10 (O)Some sat in darkness and in (P)the shadow of death,
prisoners in (Q)affliction and in irons,
11 for they (R)had rebelled against the words of God,
and (S)spurned the counsel of the Most High.
12 So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor;
they fell down, (T)with none to help.
13 (U)Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
14 He brought them out of (V)darkness and the shadow of death,
and (W)burst their bonds apart.
15 (X)Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
for his wondrous works to the children of man!
16 For he (Y)shatters the doors of bronze
and cuts in two the bars of iron.
17 Some were (Z)fools through their sinful ways,
and because of their iniquities suffered affliction;
18 (AA)they loathed any kind of food,
and they (AB)drew near to (AC)the gates of death.
19 (AD)Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
20 He (AE)sent out his word and (AF)healed them,
and (AG)delivered them from their destruction.
21 (AH)Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
for his wondrous works to the children of man!
22 And let them (AI)offer sacrifices of thanksgiving,
and (AJ)tell of his deeds in (AK)songs of joy!
23 Some (AL)went down to the sea in ships,
doing business on the great waters;
24 they saw the deeds of the Lord,
his wondrous works in the deep.
25 For he (AM)commanded and (AN)raised the stormy wind,
which lifted up the waves of the sea.
26 They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths;
their courage (AO)melted away in their evil plight;
27 they reeled and (AP)staggered like drunken men
and (AQ)were at their wits' end.[b]
28 (AR)Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
29 He (AS)made the storm be still,
and the waves of the sea were hushed.
30 Then they were glad that the waters[c] were quiet,
and he brought them to their desired haven.
31 (AT)Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
for his wondrous works to the children of man!
32 Let them (AU)extol him in (AV)the congregation of the people,
and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33 He (AW)turns rivers into a desert,
springs of water into thirsty ground,
34 (AX)a fruitful land into a salty waste,
because of the evil of its inhabitants.
35 He (AY)turns a desert into pools of water,
(AZ)a parched land into springs of water.
36 And there he lets the hungry dwell,
and they establish (BA)a city to live in;
37 they sow fields and plant vineyards
and get a fruitful yield.
38 (BB)By his blessing they multiply greatly,
and he does not let their livestock diminish.
39 When they are diminished and brought low
through oppression, evil, and sorrow,
40 (BC)he pours contempt on princes
and (BD)makes them wander (BE)in trackless wastes;
41 but (BF)he raises up the needy out of affliction
and (BG)makes their families like flocks.
42 (BH)The upright see it and are glad,
and (BI)all wickedness shuts its mouth.
43 (BJ)Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things;
let them consider the steadfast love of the Lord.

Psalms 107–150
Thanksgiving to the Lord for His Great Works of Deliverance
107 Oh, (A)give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His [a]mercy endures forever.
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,
3 And (B)gathered out of the lands,
From the east and from the west,
From the north and from the south.
4 They wandered in (C)the wilderness in a desolate way;
They found no city to dwell in.
5 Hungry and thirsty,
Their soul fainted in them.
6 (D)Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He delivered them out of their distresses.
7 And He led them forth by the (E)right way,
That they might go to a city for a dwelling place.
8 (F)Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
9 For (G)He satisfies the longing soul,
And fills the hungry soul with goodness.
10 Those who (H)sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
(I)Bound[b] in affliction and irons—
11 Because they (J)rebelled against the words of God,
And [c]despised (K)the counsel of the Most High,
12 Therefore He brought down their heart with labor;
They fell down, and there was (L)none to help.
13 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses.
14 (M)He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
And broke their chains in pieces.
15 Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
16 For He has (N)broken the gates of bronze,
And cut the bars of iron in two.
17 Fools, (O)because of their transgression,
And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.
18 (P)Their soul abhorred all manner of food,
And they (Q)drew near to the gates of death.
19 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses.
20 (R)He sent His word and (S)healed them,
And (T)delivered them from their destructions.
21 Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
22 (U)Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving,
And (V)declare His works with [d]rejoicing.
23 Those who go down to the sea in ships,
Who do business on great waters,
24 They see the works of the Lord,
And His wonders in the deep.
25 For He commands and (W)raises the stormy wind,
Which lifts up the waves of the sea.
26 They mount up to the heavens,
They go down again to the depths;
(X)Their soul melts because of trouble.
27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,
And [e]are at their wits’ end.
28 Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He brings them out of their distresses.
29 (Y)He calms the storm,
So that its waves are still.
30 Then they are glad because they are quiet;
So He guides them to their desired haven.
31 (Z)Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
32 Let them exalt Him also (AA)in the assembly of the people,
And praise Him in the company of the elders.
33 He (AB)turns rivers into a wilderness,
And the watersprings into dry ground;
34 A (AC)fruitful land into [f]barrenness,
For the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
35 (AD)He turns a wilderness into pools of water,
And dry land into watersprings.
36 There He makes the hungry dwell,
That they may establish a city for a dwelling place,
37 And sow fields and plant vineyards,
That they may yield a fruitful harvest.
38 (AE)He also blesses them, and they multiply greatly;
And He does not let their cattle (AF)decrease.
39 When they are (AG)diminished and brought low
Through oppression, affliction, and sorrow,
40 (AH)He pours contempt on princes,
And causes them to wander in the wilderness where there is no way;
41 (AI)Yet He sets the poor on high, far from affliction,
And (AJ)makes their families like a flock.
42 (AK)The righteous see it and rejoice,
And all (AL)iniquity stops its mouth.
43 (AM)Whoever is wise will observe these things,
And they will understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.

King James Version
107 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
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.
19 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.
20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
21 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
24 These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.
25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end.
28 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
31 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;
34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.
36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39 Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.
42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.
Salmos 107
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
LIBRO QUINTO
Salmo 107
Dios libra de aflicciones
107 (A)Den gracias al Señor, porque Él es bueno;
Porque para siempre es Su misericordia(B).
2 Díganlo los redimidos del Señor(C),
A quienes ha redimido de la mano del adversario(D),
3 Y los ha reunido de las tierras(E),
Del oriente y del occidente,
Del norte y del sur.
4 ¶Vagaron por el desierto(F), por lugar desolado,
No hallaron camino a ciudad habitada(G);
5 Hambrientos y sedientos,
Su alma desfallecía en ellos(H).
6 Entonces en su angustia clamaron al Señor(I),
Y Él los libró de sus aflicciones;
7 Y los guió por camino recto(J),
Para que fueran a una ciudad habitada(K).
8 Den gracias al Señor por Su misericordia
Y por Sus maravillas para con los hijos de los hombres(L).
9 Porque Él ha saciado al alma sedienta(M),
Y ha llenado de bienes al alma hambrienta(N).
10 ¶Moradores de tinieblas y de sombra de muerte(O),
Prisioneros en miseria y en cadenas(P),
11 Porque fueron rebeldes a las palabras de Dios(Q)
Y despreciaron el consejo del Altísimo(R);
12 Humilló sus corazones con trabajos,
Tropezaron y no hubo quien los socorriera(S).
13 Entonces en su angustia clamaron al Señor(T)
Y Él los salvó de sus aflicciones;
14 Los sacó de las tinieblas y de la sombra de muerte(U)
Y rompió sus cadenas(V).
15 Den gracias al Señor por Su misericordia
Y por Sus maravillas para con los hijos de los hombres(W).
16 Porque Él rompió las puertas de bronce(X)
E hizo pedazos las barras de hierro.
17 ¶Por causa de sus caminos rebeldes,
Y por causa de sus iniquidades(Y), los insensatos fueron afligidos.
18 Su alma aborreció todo alimento(Z),
Y se acercaron(AA) hasta las puertas de la muerte(AB).
19 Entonces en su angustia clamaron al Señor
Y Él los salvó de sus aflicciones.
20 Él envió Su palabra(AC) y los sanó(AD)
Y los libró(AE) de la muerte.
21 Que ellos den gracias al Señor por Su misericordia
Y por Sus maravillas para con los hijos de los hombres(AF).
22 Ofrezcan también sacrificios de acción de gracias(AG)
Y hablen de Sus obras con cantos de júbilo(AH).
23 ¶Los que descienden al mar en naves(AI)
Y hacen negocio sobre las grandes aguas,
24 Han visto las obras del Señor
Y Sus maravillas en lo profundo.
25 Pues Él habló(AJ), y levantó un viento tempestuoso(AK)
Que encrespó las olas del mar(AL).
26 Subieron a los cielos, descendieron a las profundidades,
Sus almas se consumían por el mal(AM).
27 Temblaban y se tambaleaban como ebrios(AN),
Y toda su pericia desapareció.
28 En su angustia clamaron al Señor
Y Él los sacó de sus aflicciones.
29 Cambió la tempestad en suave brisa(AO)
Y las olas del mar se calmaron.
30 Entonces se alegraron, porque las olas se habían aquietado,
Y Él los guió al puerto anhelado.
31 Que den gracias al Señor por Su misericordia
Y por Sus maravillas para con los hijos de los hombres(AP).
32 Exáltenlo(AQ) también en la congregación del pueblo(AR),
Y alábenlo en la reunión de los ancianos(AS).
33 ¶Él convierte los ríos en desierto(AT)
Y los manantiales en secadales;
34 La tierra fértil(AU) en salinas(AV),
Por la maldad de los que moran en ella.
35 Transforma el desierto en estanque de aguas(AW),
Y la tierra seca en manantiales;
36 En ella hace morar a los hambrientos,
Para que establezcan una ciudad donde vivir(AX),
37 Y siembren campos, planten viñas(AY),
Y recojan una cosecha abundante.
38 Los bendice también y se multiplican mucho(AZ),
Y no disminuye su ganado(BA).
39 ¶Cuando son disminuidos(BB) y abatidos(BC)
Por la opresión, la calamidad y la aflicción,
40 Vierte desprecio sobre los príncipes(BD),
Y los hace vagar(BE) por un lugar desolado sin camino(BF).
41 Pero al pobre(BG) lo levanta de la miseria y lo pone seguro en alto,
Y multiplica sus familias(BH) como un rebaño.
42 Los rectos lo ven y se alegran(BI),
Pero a toda iniquidad se le cierra la boca(BJ).
43 ¿Quién es sabio(BK)? Que preste atención a estas cosas,
Y considere las bondades del Señor(BL).
