107:30 The sailors rejoiced <08055> because <03588> the waves grew quiet <08367>, and he led <05148> them to <0413> the harbor <04231> they desired <02656>. 107:31 Let them give thanks <03034> to the Lord <03068> for his loyal love <02617>, and for the amazing things <06381> he has done for people <0120> <01121>! 107:32 Let them exalt <07311> him in the assembly <06951> of the people <05971>! Let them praise <01984> him in the place where <04186> the leaders <02205> preside <04186>! 107:33 He turned <07760> streams <05104> into a desert <04057>, springs <04161> of water <04325> into arid land <06774>, 107:34 and a fruitful <06529> land <0776> into a barren place <04420>, because of the sin <07451> of its inhabitants <03427>. 107:35 As for his people, he turned <07760> a desert <04057> into a pool <098> of water <04325>, and a dry <06723> land <0776> into springs <04161> of water <04325>. 107:36 He allowed the hungry <07457> to settle <03427> there <08033>, and they established <03559> a city <05892> in which to live <04186>. 107:37 They cultivated <02232> fields <07704>, and planted <05193> vineyards <03754>, which yielded <06213> a harvest <08393> of fruit <06529>. 107:38 He blessed <01288> them so that they became <07235> very <03966> numerous <07235>. He would not <03808> allow their cattle <0929> to decrease in number <04591>. 107:39 As for their enemies, they decreased in number <04591> and were beaten down <07817>, because of painful <06115> distress <07451> and suffering <03015>. 107:40 He would pour <08210> contempt <0937> upon <05921> princes <05081>, and he made them wander <08582> in a wasteland <08414> with no <03808> road <01870>. 107:41 Yet he protected <07682> the needy <034> from oppression <06040>, and cared <07760> for his families <04940> like a flock <06629> of sheep. 107:42 When the godly <03477> see <07200> this, they rejoice <08055>, and every <03605> sinner <05766> shuts <07092> his mouth <06310>. 107:43 Whoever <04310> is wise <02450>, let him take note <08104> of these things <0428>! Let them consider <0995> the Lord’s <03068> acts of loyal love <02617>!

• [Psa 107:30] As Near The Wished For Port We Draw

  As near the wished for port we draw We lift our hearts in praise to Thee, Almighty Father, loving Lord, Our Pilot on the troubled sea. By Thy good care in peace we come, From fire and foe securely kept, And after tempest, at Thy word, The waves have laid them down and slept. As Thou hast giv’n us outward calm, So, Lord, within us may there be A peace divine, a peace in Him, Through Whom alone we live to Thee. Give us more light, direct our course, Cleanse us from guile, our hearts renew; Let not dark clouds of sin shut out The star of Jesus from our view. And then, our long life voyage o’er, And past the perils of the sea, Receive us on the blissful shore, To everlasting rest with Thee. To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God Whom Heav’n and earth adore, Be glory as it was of old, Is now, and shall be evermore.

• [Psa 107:33] Springs And Streams No Longer Bless

  Springs and streams no longer bless All the dry and thirsty land; Fertile fields in verdant dress God converts to desert sand; For that they who dwell therein Turn to wickedness and sin. Once again the waters well, All the desert blossoms fair; There He makes the hungry dwell, There a city they prepare, Plant their vines and sow their fields, And the earth her increase yields. Now He blesses them indeed, They are greatly multiplied; On the hills their cattle feed, Fast increasing, spreading wide; Then again they are brought low Through oppression, grief, and woe. His contempt the princes taste: Driven out, they helpless fly, Wandering in the trackless waste; But He lifts the needy high, Where no evil shall annoy, And with children gives him joy. When His righteous judgments come, Strong to bless and to destroy, All iniquity is dumb, All the righteous sing for joy; Who Jehovah wisely heed, In His works His mercy read.

• Do you have to believe the Bible is the inerrant word of God to be saved?
  In a very general way, I think I can say that one could come to faith in Christ for salvation without believing in the inerrancy of the Word of God, but I am doubtful that one could stay that way for long. The disciples of ou...
