Psalm 107
1
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
2
Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story—
those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,
3
those he gathered from the lands,
from east and west, from north and south.
4
Some wandered in desert wastelands,
finding no way to a city where they could settle.
5
They were hungry and thirsty,
and their lives ebbed away.
6
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
7
He led them by a straight way
to a city where they could settle.
8
Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for mankind,
9
for he satisfies the thirsty
and fills the hungry with good things.
10
Some sat in darkness, in utter darkness,
prisoners suffering in iron chains,
11
because they rebelled against God’s commands
and despised the plans of the Most High.
12
So he subjected them to bitter labour;
they stumbled, and there was no one to help.
13
Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress.
14
He brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness,
and broke away their chains.
15
Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for mankind,
16
for he breaks down gates of bronze
and cuts through bars of iron.
17
Some became fools through their rebellious ways
and suffered affliction because of their iniquities.
18
They loathed all food
and drew near the gates of death.
19
Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress.
20
He sent out his word and healed them;
he rescued them from the grave.
21
Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for mankind.
22
Let them sacrifice thank offerings
and tell of his works with songs of joy.
Tea/Coffee will be served after the morning service to
which everyone is warmly invited
