Psalm 106:27-42 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

27. They were troubled, and they moved like a drunkard, and all their wisdom was consumed.

28. And they cried out to the Lord in their tribulation, and he led them out of their distress.

29. And he replaced the storm with a breeze, and its waves were stilled.

30. And they were joyful that it was stilled, and he led them into the haven that they desired.

31. Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.

32. And let them exalt him in the Church of the people, and praise him in the chair of the elders.

33. He has placed rivers in the desert and sources of water in dry places,

34. a fruit-bearing land in the midst of brine, before the malice of those who dwell in it.

35. He has placed a desert in the midst of pools of waters, and a land without water in the midst of sources of water.

36. And he has gathered the hungry together there, and they constructed a city of habitation.

37. And they sowed fields and planted vineyards, and they produced the fruit of nativity.

38. And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly. And he did not diminish their beasts of burden.

39. And they became few, and they were afflicted by the tribulation of evils and of sorrow.

40. Contempt was poured over their leaders, and he caused them to wander in an impassable place, and not on the way.

41. And he helped the poor out of destitution, and he stationed families like sheep.

42. The upright will see, and they will rejoice. And every iniquity will block its mouth.
