The Book of Psalms
Psalm 106
Confitemini Domino.
All are invited to give thanks to God for his perpetual providence over men.
Alleluia.
 1 |
Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. |
2 |
Let them say so that have been redeemed by the Lord, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy: and gathered out of the countries. |
3 |
From the rising and from the setting of the sun, from the north and from the sea. |
4 |
They wandered in a wilderness, in a place without water: they found not the way of a city for their habitation. |
5 |
They were hungry and thirsty: their soul fainted in them. |
6 |
And they cried to the Lord in their tribulation: and he delivered them out of their distresses. |
7 |
And he led them into the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. |
8 |
Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men. |
9 |
For he hath satisfied the empty soul, and hath filled the hungry soul with good things. |
10 |
Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death: bound in want and in iron. |
11 |
Because they had exasperated the words of God: and provoked the counsel of the most High: |
12 |
And their heart was humbled with labours: they were weakened, and there was none to help them. |
13 |
Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses. |
14 |
And he brought them out of darkness, and the shadow of death; and broke their bonds in sunder. |
15 |
Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men. |
16 |
Because he hath broken gates of brass, and burst iron bars. |
17 |
He took them out of the way of their iniquity: for they were brought low for their injustices. |
18 |
Their soul abhorred all manner of meat: and they drew nigh even to the gates of death. |
19 |
And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses. |
20 |
He sent his word, and healed them: and delivered them from their destructions. |
21 |
Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men. |
22 |
And let them sacrifice the sacrifice of praise: and declare his works with joy. |
23 |
They that go down to the sea in ships, doing business in the great waters: |
24 |
These have seen the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. |
25 |
He said the word, and there arose a storm of wind: and the waves thereof were lifted up. |
26 |
They mount up to the heavens, and they go down to the depths: their soul pined away with evils. |
27 |
They were troubled, and reeled like a drunken man; and all their wisdom was swallowed up. |
28 |
And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he brought them out of their distresses. |
29 |
And he turned the storm into a breeze: and its waves were still. |
30 |
And they rejoiced because they were still: and he brought them to the haven which they wished for. |
31 |
Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men. |
32 |
And let them exalt him in the church of the people: and praise him in the chair of the ancients. |
33 |
He hath turned rivers into a wilderness: and the sources of waters into dry ground: |
34 |
A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. |
35 |
He hath turned a wilderness into pools of waters, and a dry land into water springs. |
36 |
And hath placed there the hungry; and they made a city for their habitation. |
37 |
Anti they sowed fields, and planted vineyards: and they yielded fruit of birth. |
38 |
And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly: and their cattle he suffered not to decrease. |
39 |
Then they were brought to be few: and they were afflicted through the trouble of evils and sorrow. |
40 |
Contempt was poured forth upon their princes: and he caused them to wander where there was no passing, and out of the way. |
41 |
And he helped the poor out of poverty: and made him families like a flock of sheep. |
42 |
The just shall see, and shall rejoice, and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. |
43 |
Who is wise, and will keep these things; and will understand the mercies of the Lord? |
