DRC - Psalms - 106

106:1  Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

106:2  Let them say so that have been redeemed by the Lord, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy: and gathered out of the countries.

106:3  From the rising and from the setting of the sun, from the north and from the sea.

106:4  They wandered in a wilderness, in a place without water: they found not the way of a city for their habitation.

106:5  They were hungry and thirsty: their soul fainted in them.

106:6  And they cried to the Lord in their tribulation: and he delivered them out of their distresses.

106:7  And he led them into the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

106:8  Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.

106:9  For he hath satisfied the empty soul, and hath filled the hungry soul with good things.

106:10  Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death: bound in want and in iron.

106:11  Because they had exasperated the words of God: and provoked the counsel of the most High:

106:12  And their heart was humbled with labours: they were weakened, and there was none to help them.

106:13  Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.

106:14  And he brought them out of darkness, and the shadow of death; and broke their bonds in sunder.

106:15  Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.

106:16  Because he hath broken gates of brass, and burst iron bars.

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  And 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?
