107:20He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

107:21Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

107:22And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.

107:23They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;

107:24These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.

107:25For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.

107:26They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

107:27They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.

107:28Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.

107:29He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

107:30Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

107:31Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

107:32Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

107:33He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;

107:34A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

107:35He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.

107:36And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;

107:37And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.

107:38He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

107:39Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

107:40He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.

107:41Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.

107:42The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

107:43Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

108:1(A Song or Psalm of David.) O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

108:2Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

108:3I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

108:4For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.

108:5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;

108:6That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.

108:7God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

108:8Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

108:9Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

108:10Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

108:11Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

108:12Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

108:13Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

109:1(To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.) Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;

109:2For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

109:3They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.

109:4For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.

109:5And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

109:6Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.

109:7When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

109:8Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

109:9Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

109:10Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

109:11Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.

109:12Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.

109:13Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
