Psalms 107
[1] O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
[2] Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;[4] They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
[5] Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
[6] Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
[7] And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
[8] Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
[9] For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.[12] Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
[13] Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
[14] He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
[15] Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men![17] Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
[19] Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.
[20] He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
[21] Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men![23] They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
[24] These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.
[25] For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
[26] They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
[27] They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.
[28] Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
[29] He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
[30] Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
[31] Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men![33] He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;
[34] A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
[35] He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.
[36] And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;This message delivered by Pastor Derrick Burrus on Sunday, August 2, 2009, during the
