📖 Psalms 107
-
1
O geue thankes vnto the LORDE, for he is gracious, and his mercy endureth for euer.
-
2
Let them geue thakes whom the LORDE hath redemed, & delyuered from the hande of the enemie.
-
3
And gathered the out of the londes, fro the east, fro the west, fro the north & from the south.
-
4
They wente astraye in the wildernesse in an vntroden waye, & founde no cite to dwell in.
-
5
Hongrie & thirstie, & their soule faynted in the.
-
6
So they cried vnto the LORDE in their trouble, & he delyuered the from their distresse.
-
7
He led the forth by ye right waie, yt they might go to ye cite where they dwelt.
-
8
O that me wolde prayse the goodnesse of the LORDE, & the wonders that he doth for the childre of me.
-
9
For he satisfied the emptie soule, & fylled the hongrie soule wt good.
-
10
Soch as sat in darcknesse and in the shadowe of death, beynge fast bounde in misery & yron.
-
11
Because they were not obediet to the comaundementes of God, but lightly regarded the councell of the most highest.
-
12
Their herte was vexed with labor, they fell downe, & there was none to helpe them.
-
13
So they cried vnto the LORDE in their trouble, & he delyuered them out of their distresse.
-
14
He brought the out of darcknesse & out of the shadowe of death, & brake their bondes in sonder.
-
15
O that men wolde prayse the goodnesse of the LORDE, & the woders that he doth for the childre of men.
-
16
For he hath broken the gates of brasse, & smitte the barres of yron in sonder.
-
17
Foolish me were plaged for their offence, & because of their wickednesse.
-
18
Their soule abhorred all maner of meate, they were eue harde at deathes dore.
-
19
So they cried vnto the LORDE in their trouble, & he delyuered the out of their distresse.
-
20
He sent his worde & healed the, & saued the from destruccion.
-
21
O that men wolde prayse the goodnesse of the LORDE, & the wonders that he doth for the children of men.
-
22
That they wolde offre vnto him the sacrifice of thankesgeuynge, and tell out his workes with gladnes.
-
23
They that go downe to the see in shippes, & occupie their busynesse in greate waters.
-
24
These men se the workes of the LORDE, & his wonders in the depe.
-
25
For at his worde, the stormy wynde aryseth, and lifteth vp the wawes therof.
-
26
They are caried vp to the heauen, & downe agayne to the depe, their soule melteth awaye in the trouble.
-
27
They rele to and fro, they stacker like a droncken man, and are at their wittes ende.
-
28
So they crie vnto the LORDE in their trouble, & he delyuereth the out of their distresse.
-
29
He maketh the storme to ceasse, so that the wawes are still.
-
30
The are they glad because they be at rest, & so he bryngeth them vnto the hauen where they wolde be.
-
31
O that men wolde prayse the goodnes of the LORDE, and the wonders that he doth for the children of men.
-
32
That they wolde exalte him in the cogregacion of the people, & loaue him in the seate of the elders.
-
33
Which turneth the floudes in to drie londe, and drieth vp the water sprynges.
-
34
A frutefull londe maketh he baren, for the wickednesse of them that dwell therin.
-
35
Agayne, he maketh the wildernes a stondinge water, and water sprynges of a drye grounde.
-
36
There he setteth the hongrie, that they maye buylde them a cite to dwell in.
-
37
That they maye sowe their groude, plante vynyaydes, to yelde them frutes of increase.
-
38
He blesseth them, so that they multiplie exceadingly, and suffreth not their catell to decrease.
-
39
Whe they are minished & brought lowe thorow oppressio, thorow eny plage or trouble.
-
40
Though he suffre the to be euell intreated thorow tyrauntes, or let them wandre out of the waye in the wildernesse:
-
41
Yet helpeth he the poore out of misery (at the last) and maketh him an housholde like a flocke of shepe.
-
42
The rightuous wil cosidre this and reioyse, the mouth of all wickednesse shall be stopped.
-
43
Who so is wyse, and pondreth these thinges well, shall vnderstonde the louynge kyndnesses of the LORDE.
