Psalms 107:5-16 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

5. Hungry and thirsty, their soul grew faint within them.

6. Then they cried out to Yahweh in their trouble. He delivered them from their distresses

7. and led them by a straight way to get to a city to inhabit.

8. Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his loyal love, and his wonderful deeds for the children of humankind,

9. for he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good.

10. Those who sat in darkness and gloom, prisoners of misery and iron—

11. because they rebelled against the words of God and spurned the counsel of the Most High,

12. he therefore humbled their heart with trouble. They stumbled and there was no helper.

13. Then they called to Yahweh for help in their trouble; he saved them from their distresses.

14. He brought them out of darkness and gloom, and tore off their bonds.

15. Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his loyal love and his wonderful deeds for the children of humankind,

16. for he shatters the doors of bronze, and cuts through the bars of iron.
