Text -- Psalms 107:1-7 (NET)

Book 5
(Psalms 107-150)

Psalm 107

107:1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, and his loyal love endures! 107:2 Let those delivered by the Lord speak out, those whom he delivered from the power of the enemy, 107:3 and gathered from foreign lands, from east and west, from north and south. 107:4 They wandered through the wilderness on a desert road; they found no city in which to live. 107:5 They were hungry and thirsty; they fainted from exhaustion. 107:6 They cried out to the Lord in their distress; he delivered them from their troubles. 107:7 He led them on a level road, that they might find a city in which to live.
