class="notelink x-link"></a> Shout praises to the Lord!He is good to us,and his love never fails.2Everyone the Lord has rescuedfrom troubleshould praise him,3everyone he has broughtfrom the east and the west,the north and the south.<a href="#fn" id="link_Ps.107.3!f.1" class="notelink f-link">+</a> 4Some of you were lostin the scorching desert,far from a town.5You were hungry and thirstyand about to give up.6You were in serious trouble,but you prayed to the Lord,and he rescued you.7At once he brought youto a town.8You should praise the Lordfor his loveand for the wonderful thingshe does for all of us.9To everyone who is thirsty,he gives something to drink;to everyone who is hungry,he gives good things to eat.10Some of you were prisonerssuffering in deepest darknessand bound by chains,11because you had rebelledagainst God Most Highand refused his advice.12You were worn outfrom working like slaves,and no one came to help.13You were in serious trouble,but you prayed to the Lord,and he rescued you.14He brought you outof the deepest darknessand broke your chains.15You should praise the Lordfor his loveand for the wonderful thingshe does for all of us.16He breaks down bronze gatesand shatters iron locks.17Some of you had foolishlycommitted a lot of sinsand were in terrible pain.18The very thought of foodwas disgusting to you,and you were almost dead.19You were in serious trouble,but you prayed to the Lord,and he rescued you.20By the power of his own word,he healed you and saved youfrom destruction.21You should praise the Lordfor his loveand for the wonderful thingshe does for all of us.22You should celebrateby offering sacrificesand singing joyful songsto tell what he has done.23Some of you made a livingby sailing the mighty sea,24and you saw the miraclesthe Lord performed there.25At his command a storm arose,and waves covered the sea.26You were tossed to the skyand to the ocean depths,until things looked so badthat you lost your courage.27You staggered like drunkardsand gave up all hope.28You were in serious trouble,but you prayed to the Lord,and he rescued you.29He made the storm stopand the sea be quiet.30You were happy because of this,and he brought you to the portwhere you wanted to go.31You should praise the Lordfor his loveand for the wonderful thingshe does for all of us.32Honor the Lordwhen you and your leadersmeet to worship.33If you start doing wrong,the Lord will turn riversinto deserts,34<a href="#Ps.107.34!x.1" id="link_Ps.107.34!x.1" class="notelink x-link"></a> flowing streamsinto scorched land,and fruitful fieldsinto beds of salt.35But the Lord can also turndeserts into lakesand scorched landinto flowing streams.36If you are hungry,you can settle thereand build a town.37You can plant fieldsand vineyards that producea good harvest.38The Lord will bless youwith many childrenand with herds of cattle.39Sometimes you may be crushedby troubles and sorrows,until only a few of youare left to survive.40But the Lord will take revengeon those who conquer you,and he will make them wanderacross desert sands.41When you are sufferingand in need,he will come to your rescue,and your families will growas fast as a herd of sheep.42You will see this becauseyou obey the Lord,but everyone who is wickedwill be silenced.43Be wise! Remember thisand think about the kindnessof the Lord.</div> </div> <a name="fn"></a> Footnotes: <note caller="+" style="f"><char style="fr" closed="false">107.3 </char><char style="fq" closed="false">south: </char><char style="ft" closed="false">The Hebrew text has “sea,” probably referring to the Mediterranean Sea.</char></note></div></div> <div align="center">Contemporary English Version, Second Edition (CEV®) © 2006 American Bible Society.
