WEBVTT 00:04.840 --> 00:11.420 Psalm 107 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy endureth 00:11.420 --> 00:11.720 forever. 00:12.660 --> 00:16.060 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the 00:16.060 --> 00:19.560 enemy, and gathered them out of the lands, from the east and from the west, 00:19.860 --> 00:21.160 from the north and from the south. 00:22.000 --> 00:24.020 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way. 00:24.680 --> 00:28.500 They found no city to dwell in, hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in. 00:29.240 --> 00:32.240 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of 00:32.240 --> 00:32.960 their distresses. 00:33.700 --> 00:36.960 Then he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of 00:36.960 --> 00:37.440 habitation. 00:38.620 --> 00:42.320 O that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to 00:42.320 --> 00:43.200 the children of men! 00:43.880 --> 00:47.720 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. 00:48.580 --> 00:52.260 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and 00:52.260 --> 00:57.000 iron, because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of 00:57.000 --> 00:57.520 the Most High. 00:58.320 --> 01:00.140 Therefore he brought down their heart with labor. 01:00.700 --> 01:02.520 They fell down, and there was none to help. 01:03.360 --> 01:05.960 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their 01:05.960 --> 01:06.540 distresses. 01:07.320 --> 01:10.880 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and break their bands in 01:10.880 --> 01:11.120 sunder. 01:12.020 --> 01:15.840 O that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to 01:15.840 --> 01:16.660 the children of men! 01:17.640 --> 01:21.080 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder. 01:22.200 --> 01:24.920 Fools, because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, 01:24.980 --> 01:25.580 are afflicted. 01:26.200 --> 01:30.060 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat, and they draw near unto the gates of 01:30.060 --> 01:30.340 death. 01:31.380 --> 01:34.140 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their 01:34.140 --> 01:34.720 distresses. 01:35.360 --> 01:38.260 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their 01:38.260 --> 01:38.880 destructions. 01:39.760 --> 01:43.900 O that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to 01:43.900 --> 01:44.820 the children of men! 01:45.420 --> 01:49.660 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with 01:49.660 --> 01:50.140 rejoicing. 01:50.740 --> 01:54.020 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters, 01:54.700 --> 01:57.460 these see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. 01:58.100 --> 02:02.300 For he commandeth and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. 02:02.820 --> 02:05.760 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths. 02:06.360 --> 02:08.020 Their soul is melted because of trouble. 02:08.440 --> 02:12.800 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end. 02:13.500 --> 02:17.420 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their 02:17.420 --> 02:18.040 distresses. 02:18.560 --> 02:22.060 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. 02:22.940 --> 02:24.740 Then are they glad, because they be quiet. 02:25.500 --> 02:27.380 So he bringeth them unto their desired haven. 02:28.540 --> 02:32.140 Oh, that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to 02:32.140 --> 02:32.980 the children of men! 02:34.100 --> 02:37.800 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him 02:37.800 --> 02:38.800 in the assembly of the elders. 02:39.880 --> 02:43.580 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the water springs into dry ground. 02:44.220 --> 02:47.900 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell 02:47.900 --> 02:48.300 therein. 02:48.880 --> 02:52.780 He turneth a wilderness into withstanding water, and dry ground into water springs. 02:53.500 --> 02:57.220 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare his city for 02:57.220 --> 03:00.940 habitation, and sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield 03:00.940 --> 03:01.800 fruits of increase. 03:02.540 --> 03:06.800 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly, and suffereth not 03:06.800 --> 03:07.800 their cattle to decrease. 03:08.880 --> 03:12.000 Again they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, 03:12.160 --> 03:12.540 and sorrow. 03:13.300 --> 03:16.840 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the 03:16.840 --> 03:18.420 wilderness, where there is no way. 03:19.160 --> 03:23.500 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a 03:23.500 --> 03:23.780 flock. 03:24.540 --> 03:28.800 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice, and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. 03:29.660 --> 03:35.180 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the 03:35.180 --> 03:36.820 loving kindness of the Lord.
