for his loving kindness endures forever.
Let the redeemed by the LORD say so, 1Pe 1:18-19Luk 1:74Gal 3:13Psa 106:10Psa 31:5Tit 2:14Isa 44:22Isa 35:9
whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
and gathered out of the lands, Psa 106:47Isa 43:5-6Jer 29:14Rev 5:9Deu 30:3Ezk 36:24Ezk 39:27Jer 31:10
from the east and from the west,
from the north and from the south.
They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way. Deu 32:10Ezk 34:12Ezk 34:6Num 14:33Gen 21:14-16Heb 11:38Job 12:24Psa 107:40
They found no city to live in.
Hungry and thirsty, Mrk 8:2-31Sa 30:11-12Isa 44:12Jdg 15:18-19Lam 2:19Jer 14:18
their soul fainted in them.
Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, Psa 50:15Psa 91:15Heb 4:15-16Jer 29:12-142Co 1:8-10Psa 107:13Psa 107:19Psa 107:28
and he delivered them out of their distresses.
He led them also by a straight way, Jer 31:9Ezr 8:21-23Heb 11:9-10Heb 12:22Psa 77:202Pe 2:15Heb 11:16Isa 30:21
that they might go to a city to live in.
Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness, Psa 107:31Psa 147:1Dan 4:2-3Psa 107:15Psa 107:21Psa 78:4Dan 6:27Deu 32:29
for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!
For he satisfies the longing soul. Mat 5:6Jer 31:25Psa 34:10Luk 1:53Psa 146:7Isa 55:1-3Psa 22:26Rev 7:16-17
He fills the hungry soul with good.
Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Luk 1:79Mic 7:8Isa 42:7Mat 4:16Rom 6:20-21Exo 2:23-24Job 36:8-9Mat 22:13
being bound in affliction and iron,
because they rebelled against the words of God, 2 Psa 106:43Pro 1:25Psa 78:40Rom 1:281Sa 2:5-82Ch 33:102Ch 36:16Act 20:27
and condemned the counsel of the Most High.
Therefore he brought down their heart with labor. Psa 22:11Exo 5:18-19Exo 2:23Luk 15:14-17Isa 51:232Ki 6:26-272Ki 6:33Isa 51:19-20
They fell down, and there was no one to help.
Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, Psa 107:28Psa 107:6Jdg 4:3Jdg 6:6-10Psa 18:62Ch 33:12-13Exo 3:7-8Psa 116:3-6
and he saved them out of their distresses.

and broke away their chains.
Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness, Psa 107:21Psa 107:31Psa 107:8Psa 116:17-19
for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!
For he has broken the gates of bronze, Isa 45:1-2Jdg 16:3Mic 2:13
and cut through bars of iron.
Fools are afflicted because of their disobedience, Lam 3:39Pro 1:22Isa 57:17-18Isa 65:6-7Jer 2:19Num 11:33-34Num 21:5-9Pro 7:7
and because of their iniquities.
Their soul abhors all kinds of food. Psa 88:3Psa 9:13Job 33:19-22Isa 38:10Job 38:17
They draw near to the gates of death.
Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, Psa 34:4-6Psa 78:34-35Jer 33:3Psa 107:13Psa 107:6Psa 116:4-8Psa 30:8-12Psa 107:28

and declare his deeds with singing.
Those who go down to the sea in ships, Psa 48:7Rev 18:17Act 27:9-28Ezk 27:26Isa 42:10
who do business in great waters,
these see the LORD’s deeds, Psa 95:5Job 38:8-11Psa 104:24-27
and his wonders in the deep.
For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, Jon 1:4Mat 8:24Psa 148:8Psa 105:34Psa 93:3Jhn 6:18Psa 105:31Psa 135:7
which lifts up its waves.
They mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths. Psa 22:14Psa 119:282Sa 17:10Isa 13:7Nam 2:10
Their soul melts away because of trouble.
They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man, Job 12:25Isa 19:14Isa 19:3Isa 29:9Act 27:15-20Isa 24:20Job 37:20
and are at their wits’ end.
Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, Mat 8:25Psa 107:13Psa 107:19Psa 107:6Act 27:23-25Jon 1:14Jon 1:5-6
and he brings them out of their distress.
He makes the storm a calm, Mat 8:26Luk 8:23-25Psa 65:7Mrk 4:39-41Psa 89:9Jon 1:15
so that its waves are still.
Then they are glad because it is calm, Jhn 6:21
so he brings them to their desired haven.
Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness, Psa 103:2Psa 107:8Psa 107:15Psa 107:21Rev 15:32Ti 3:2Heb 13:15Hos 2:8
for his wonderful deeds for the children of men!
Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, Psa 22:22Psa 22:25Psa 46:10Psa 99:5Isa 25:1Psa 119:46Psa 40:9-10Act 4:8-12
and praise him in the seat of the elders.
He turns rivers into a desert, Isa 42:15Isa 50:2Amo 4:7-81Ki 17:1-71Ki 18:5Ezk 30:12Isa 13:19-21Isa 19:5-10
water springs into a thirsty ground,
and a fruitful land into a salt waste, Gen 13:10Gen 14:3Deu 29:23-28Ezk 47:11Gen 13:13Gen 19:24-25Isa 32:13-15
for the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
He turns a desert into a pool of water, Psa 114:8Isa 35:6-7Isa 41:17-19Isa 44:3-52Ki 3:16-20Ezk 47:6-12Num 21:16-18
and a dry land into water springs.
There he makes the hungry live, Luk 1:53Psa 107:7Act 17:26Psa 146:7
that they may prepare a city to live in,
sow fields, plant vineyards, 1Co 3:72Co 9:10Isa 37:30Jer 29:5Zec 8:12Ezk 28:26Gen 26:12Hag 1:10-11
and reap the fruits of increase.
He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly. Exo 1:7Gen 12:2Gen 17:20Deu 30:9Deu 7:14Psa 128:1-6Deu 28:11Gen 17:16
He doesn’t allow their livestock to decrease.
Again, they are diminished and bowed down 2Ki 10:32Exo 2:23-242Ch 15:5-62Ki 14:26Jdg 6:3-61Sa 2:5-72Ki 13:222Ki 13:7
through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
He pours contempt on princes, Job 12:24Job 12:21Dan 4:33Isa 23:8-91Ki 21:191Sa 5:91Sa 6:42Ki 9:35-37
and causes them to wander in a trackless waste.
Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction, 1Sa 2:8Job 21:111Sa 2:21Est 8:15-17Isa 49:20-22Job 8:7Psa 78:52Jas 5:11
and increases their families like a flock.
The upright will see it, and be glad. Job 22:19Psa 63:11Rom 3:19Psa 52:6Job 5:15-16Exo 11:7Isa 66:10-11Isa 66:14
All the wicked will shut their mouths.
Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things. Hos 14:9Jer 9:12Psa 64:9Dan 10:12Eph 3:18-19Jer 9:24Psa 50:23Isa 5:12
They will consider the loving kindnesses of the LORD.
