Text -- Psalms 107:12-43 (NET)

Strongs On/Off
Context
107:12 So he used suffering to humble them; they stumbled and no one helped them up. 107:13 They cried out to the Lord in their distress; he delivered them from their troubles. 107:14 He brought them out of the utter darkness, and tore off their shackles. 107:15 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his loyal love, and for the amazing things he has done for people! 107:16 For he shattered the bronze gates, and hacked through the iron bars. 107:17 They acted like fools in their rebellious ways, and suffered because of their sins. 107:18 They lost their appetite for all food, and they drew near the gates of death. 107:19 They cried out to the Lord in their distress; he delivered them from their troubles. 107:20 He sent them an assuring word and healed them; he rescued them from the pits where they were trapped. 107:21 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his loyal love, and for the amazing things he has done for people! 107:22 Let them present thank offerings, and loudly proclaim what he has done! 107:23 Some traveled on the sea in ships, and carried cargo over the vast waters. 107:24 They witnessed the acts of the Lord, his amazing feats on the deep water. 107:25 He gave the order for a windstorm, and it stirred up the waves of the sea. 107:26 They reached up to the sky, then dropped into the depths. The sailors’ strength left them because the danger was so great. 107:27 They swayed and staggered like a drunk, and all their skill proved ineffective. 107:28 They cried out to the Lord in their distress; he delivered them from their troubles. 107:29 He calmed the storm, and the waves grew silent. 107:30 The sailors rejoiced because the waves grew quiet, and he led them to the harbor they desired. 107:31 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his loyal love, and for the amazing things he has done for people! 107:32 Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people! Let them praise him in the place where the leaders preside! 107:33 He turned streams into a desert, springs of water into arid land, 107:34 and a fruitful land into a barren place, because of the sin of its inhabitants. 107:35 As for his people, he turned a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into springs of water. 107:36 He allowed the hungry to settle there, and they established a city in which to live. 107:37 They cultivated fields, and planted vineyards, which yielded a harvest of fruit. 107:38 He blessed them so that they became very numerous. He would not allow their cattle to decrease in number. 107:39 As for their enemies, they decreased in number and were beaten down, because of painful distress and suffering. 107:40 He would pour contempt upon princes, and he made them wander in a wasteland with no road. 107:41 Yet he protected the needy from oppression, and cared for his families like a flock of sheep. 107:42 When the godly see this, they rejoice, and every sinner shuts his mouth. 107:43 Whoever is wise, let him take note of these things! Let them consider the Lord’s acts of loyal love!
