106:17. He took them out of the way of their iniquity: for they were brought low for their injustices. 106:18. Their soul abhorred all manner of meat: and they drew nigh even to the gates of death. 106:19. And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses. 106:20. He sent his word, and healed them: and delivered them from their destructions. 106:21. Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men. 106:22. And let them sacrifice the sacrifice of praise: and declare his works with joy. 106:23. They that go down to the sea in ships, doing business in the great waters: 106:24. These have seen the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. 106:25. He said the word, and there arose a storm of wind: and the waves thereof were lifted up. 106:26. They mount up to the heavens, and they go down to the depths: their soul pined away with evils. 106:27. They were troubled, and reeled like a drunken man; and all their wisdom was swallowed up. 106:28. And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he brought them out of their distresses. 106:29. And he turned the storm into a breeze: and its waves were still. 106:30. And they rejoiced because they were still: and he brought them to the haven which they wished for. 106:31. Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men. 106:32. And let them exalt him in the church of the people: and praise him in the chair of the ancients. 106:33. He hath turned rivers into a wilderness: and the sources of waters into dry ground: 106:34. A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. 106:35. He hath turned a wilderness into pools of waters, and a dry land into water springs. 106:36. And hath placed there the hungry; and they made a city for their habitation. 106:37. Anti they sowed fields, and planted vineyards: and they yielded fruit of birth. 106:38. And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly: and their cattle he suffered not to decrease. 106:39. Then they were brought to be few: and they were afflicted through the trouble of evils and sorrow. 106:40. Contempt was poured forth upon their princes: and he caused them to wander where there was no passing, and out of the way. 106:41. And he helped the poor out of poverty: and made him families like a flock of sheep. 106:42. The just shall see, and shall rejoice, and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. 106:43. Who is wise, and will keep these things; and will understand the mercies of the Lord? Psalms Chapter 107 Paratum cor meum. The prophet praiseth God for benefits received. 107:1. A canticle of a psalm for David himself. 107:2. My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will sing, and will give praise, with my glory. 107:3. Arise, my glory; arise, psaltery and harp: I will arise in the morning early.
