Psalm 107:1-3

BOOK V

(Psalms 107–150)

The Lord Is Good to His People

1 (A) Shout praises to the Lord!
He is good to us,
    and his love never fails.
2 Everyone the Lord has rescued
from trouble
    should praise him,
3 everyone he has brought
from the east and the west,
    the north and the south.[a]

Psalm 107:23-32

23 Some of you made a living
    by sailing the mighty sea,
24 and you saw the miracles
    the Lord performed there.
25 At his command a storm arose,
    and waves covered the sea.
26 You were tossed to the sky
    and to the ocean depths,
until things looked so bad
    that you lost your courage.
27 You staggered like drunkards
    and gave up all hope.
28 You were in serious trouble,
but you prayed to the Lord,
    and he rescued you.
29 He made the storm stop
    and the sea be quiet.
30 You were happy because of this,
and he brought you to the port
    where you wanted to go.

31 You should praise the Lord
    for his love
and for the wonderful things
    he does for all of us.
32 Honor the Lord
when you and your leaders
    meet to worship.

Job 37:1-13

Elihu Continues

I Am Frightened

37 I am frightened
    and tremble all over,
2 when I hear the roaring voice
    of God in the thunder,
3 and when I see his lightning
    flash across the sky.
4 God's majestic voice
    thunders his commands,[a]
5 creating miracles too marvelous
    for us to understand.
6 Snow and heavy rainstorms
7 make us stop and think
    about God's power,[b]
8 and they force animals
    to seek shelter.
9 The windstorms of winter strike,
10 and the breath of God
    freezes streams and rivers.
11 Rain clouds filled with lightning
    appear at God's command,
12 traveling across the sky
13     to release their cargo—
sometimes as punishment for sin,
    sometimes as kindness.

Luke 21:25-28

When the Son of Man Appears

(Matthew 24.29-31; Mark 13.24-27)

25 (A) Strange things will happen to the sun, moon, and stars. The nations on earth will be afraid of the roaring sea and tides, and they won't know what to do. 26 People will be so frightened that they will faint because of what is happening to the world. Every power in the sky will be shaken.[a] 27 (B) Then the Son of Man will be seen, coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 When all of this starts happening, stand up straight and be brave. You will soon be set free.
