  Speaker 1: Psalm one hundred and seven. Give thanks to Yahweh, for
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever. Let
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the redeemed by Yahweh say so whom he has redeemed
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: from the hand of the adversary. And gathered out of
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: the lands from the east and from the west, from
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the north and from the south. They wandered in the
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: wilderness in a desert way. They fell no city to
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: live in. Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, and he
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: delivered them out of their distresses. He led them also
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: by a straight way, that they might go to a
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: city to live in. Let them praise Yahweh for his
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: loving kindness, for his wonderful works to the children of men.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: soul with good. Some sat in darkness and in the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron, because
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: they rebelled against the words of God. And can them
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the counsel of the Most High. Therefore he brought down
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: their heart with labor. They fell down, and there was
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: none to help. Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: and he saved them out of their distresses. He brought
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: broke their bonds insunder. Let them praise Yahweh for his
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: loving kindness, for his wonderful works to the children of men.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: For he has broken the gates of brass and cut
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: through bars of iron. Fools are afflicted because of their disobedience,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and because of their iniquities. Their soul abhors all kinds
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: of food. They draw near to the gates of death.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble. He saved
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: them out of their distresses. He sends his word, and
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: heals them and delivers them from their graves. Let them
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful works
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: to the children of men. Let them offer the sacrifices
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: of thanksgiving and declare his works with singing. Those who
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: go down to this sea in ships, who do business
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: in great waters, these sea Yahweh's works and his wonders
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: in the deep. For he commands and raises the stormy wind,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: which lifts up its waves. They mount up to the sky,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: they go down again to the depths. Their soul melts
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: away because of trouble. They reel back and forth and
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits end.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Then they cry to Yahweh and their trouble, and he
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: brings them out of their distress. He makes the storm
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: a calm so that its waves are still. Then they
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: are glad because it is calm, so he brings them
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to their desired haven. Let them praise Yahweh for his
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: loving kindness, for his wonderful works for the children of men.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and praise him in the seat of the elders. He
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: turns rivers into a desert, water springs into a thirsty ground,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and a fruitful land into a salt waste for the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: wickedness of those who dwell in it. He turns a
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: desert into a pool of water, and dry land into
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: water springs. There he makes the hungry live that they
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: may prepare a city to live in. So feelds plant
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: vineyards and reap the fruits of increase. He blesses them
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: also so that they are multiplied greatly. He doesn't allow
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: their cattle to decrease again. They are diminished and bowed
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: down through oppression, trouble, and sorrow. He pours contempt on
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: princes and causes them to wander in a trackless waste.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction and
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: increases their families like a flock. The upright will see
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: it and be glad. All the wicked will shut their mouths.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things. They
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: will consider the loving kindnesses of Yahweh.
