Psalm 107 (WEBP)

[1] Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
[2] Let the redeemed by Yahweh say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
[3] and gathered 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 desert way. They found no city to live in.
[5] Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
[6] Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
[7] He led them also by a straight way, that they might go to a city to live in.
[8] Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!
[9] For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good.
[10] Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron,
[11] because they rebelled against the words of God, and condemned the counsel of the Most High.
[12] Therefore he brought down their heart with labor. They fell down, and there was no one to help.
[13] Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
[14] He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke away their chains.
[15] Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!
[16] For he has broken the gates of bronze, and cut through bars of iron.
[17] Fools are afflicted because of their disobedience, and because of their iniquities.
[18] Their soul abhors all kinds of food. They draw near to the gates of death.
[19] Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, and he saves them out of their distresses.
[20] He sends his word, and heals them, and delivers them from their graves.
[21] Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!
[22] Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his deeds with singing.
[23] Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business in great waters,
[24] these see Yahweh’s deeds, and his wonders in the deep.
[25] For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up its waves.
[26] They mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths. Their soul melts away because of trouble.
[27] They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.
[28] Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, and he brings them out of their distress.
[29] He makes the storm a calm, so that its waves are still.
[30] Then they are glad because it is calm, so he brings them to their desired haven.
[31] Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds for the children of men!
[32] Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, and praise him in the seat of the elders.
[33] He turns rivers into a desert, water springs into a thirsty ground,
[34] and a fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
[35] He turns a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into water springs.
[36] There he makes the hungry live, that they may prepare a city to live in,
[37] sow fields, plant vineyards, and reap the fruits of increase.
[38] He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly. He doesn’t allow their livestock to decrease.
[39] Again, they are diminished and bowed down through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
[40] He pours contempt on princes, and causes them to wander in a trackless waste.
[41] Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction, and increases their families like a flock.
[42] The upright will see it, and be glad. All the wicked will shut their mouths.
[43] Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things. They will consider the loving kindnesses of Yahweh.

Psalm 107:1 “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “Lord” (all caps) in other translations.
Psalm 107:11 The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “אֱלֹהִ֑ים” (Elohim).

King James w/Strong’s #s

Psalm 107 (KJVS)

[1] 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 wits’ 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.
