Psalm 107: Praise God, for he is good: for still

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107 First Line: Praise God, for he is good: for still Lyrics: 1Praise God, for he is good: for still his mercies lasting be. 2Let God’s redeem’d say so, whom he from th’ en’my’s hand did free; 3And gather’d them out of the lands, from north, south, east, and west. 4They stray’d in desert’s pathless way, no city found to rest. 5For thirst and hunger in them faints 6their soul. When straits them press, They cry unto the Lord, and he them frees from their distress. 7Them also in a way to walk that right is he did guide, That they might to a city go, wherein they might abide. 8O that men to the Lord would give praise for his goodness then, And for his works of wonder done unto the sons of men! 9For he the soul that longing is doth fully satisfy; With goodness he the hungry soul doth fill abundantly. 10Such as shut up in darkness deep, and in death’s shade abide, Whom strongly hath affliction bound, and irons fast have ty’d: 11Because against the words of God they wrought rebelliously, And they the counsel did contemn of him that is most High: 12Their heart he did bring down with grief, they fell, no help could have. 13In trouble then they cry’d to God, he them from straits did save. 14He out of darkness did them bring, and from death’s shade them take; These bands, wherewith they had been bound, asunder quite he brake. 15O that men to the Lord would give praise for his goodness then, And for his works of wonder done unto the sons of men! 16Because the mighty gates of brass in pieces he did tear, By him in sunder also cut the bars of iron were. 17Fools, for their sin, and their offence, do sore affliction bear; 18All kind of meat their soul abhors; they to death’s gates draw near. 19In grief they cry to God; he saves them from their miseries. 20He sends his word, them heals, and them from their destructions frees. 21O that men to the Lord would give praise for his goodness then, And for his works of wonder done unto the sons of men! 22And let them sacrifice to him off ‘rings of thankfulness; And let them shew abroad his works in songs of joyfulness. 23Who go to sea in ships, and in great waters trading be, 24Within the deep these men God’s works and his great wonders see. 25For he commands, and forth in haste the stormy tempest flies, Which makes the sea with rolling waves aloft to swell and rise. 26They mount to heav’n, then to the depths they do go down again; Their soul doth faint and melt away with trouble and with pain. 27They reel and stagger like one drunk, at their wit’s end they be: 28Then they to God in trouble cry, who them from straits doth free. 29The storm is chang’d into a calm at his command and will; So that the waves, which rag’d before, now quiet are and still. 30Then are they glad, because at rest and quiet now they be: So to the haven he them brings, which they desir’d to see. 31O that men to the Lord would give praise for his goodness then, And for his works of wonder done unto the sons of men! 32Among the people gathered let them exalt his name; Among assembled elders spread his most renowned fame. 33He to dry land turns water-springs, and floods to wilderness; 34For sins of those that dwell therein, fat land to barrenness. 35The burnt and parched wilderness to water-pools he brings; The ground that was dry’d up before he turns to water-springs: 36And there, for dwelling, he a place doth to the hungry give, That they a city may prepare commodiously to live. 37There sow they fields, and vineyards plant, to yield fruits of increase. 38His blessing makes them multiply, lets not their beasts decrease. 39Again they are diminished, and very low brought down, Through sorrow and affliction, and great oppression. 40He upon princes pours contempt, and causeth them to stray, And wander in a wilderness, wherein there is no way. 41Yet setteth he the poor on high from all his miseries, And he, much like unto a flock, doth make him families. 42They that are righteous shall rejoice, when they the same shall see; And, as ashamed, stop her mouth shall all iniquity. 43Whoso is wise, and will these things observe, and them record, Ev’n they shall understand the love and kindness of the Lord.

Psalm 107 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 128 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107 First Line: Give thanks to God; he reigns above Lyrics: Give thanks to God; he reigns above; Kind are his thoughts, his name is Love; His mercy ages past have known, And ages long to come shall own. Let the redeemed of the Lord The wonders of his grace record; Isr'el, the nation whom he chose, And rescued from their mighty foes. [When God's almighty arm had broke Their fetters and th' Egyptian yoke, They traced the desert, wand'ring round A wild and solitary ground. There they could find no leading road, Nor city for a fixed abode; Nor food, nor fountain, to assuage Their burning thirst or hunger's rage.] In their distress, to God they cried God was their Savior and their Guide; He led their march far wand'ring round, 'Twas the right path to Canaan's ground. Thus, when our first release we gain From sin's old yoke, and Satan's chain, We have this desert world to pass, A dangerous and a tiresome place. He feeds and clothes us all the way, He guides our footsteps lest we stray, He guards us with a powerful hand, And brings us to the heav'nly land. O let the saints with joy record The truth and goodness of the Lord! How great his works! how kind his ways! Let every tongue pronounce his praise.

Psalm 107 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 40 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107 First Line: From age to age exalt his name Lyrics: From age to age exalt his name; God and his grace are still the same; He fills the hungry soul with food, And feeds the poor with every good. But if their hearts rebel and rise Against the God that rules the skies; If they reject his heav'nly word, And slight the counsels of the Lord He'll bring their spirits to the ground, And no deliv'rer shall be found; Laden with grief, they waste their breath In darkness and the shades of death. Then to the Lord they raise their cries; He makes the dawning light arise, And scatters all that dismal shade That hung so heavy round their head. He cuts the bars of brass in two, And lets the smiling pris'ners through; Takes off the load of guilt and grief, And gives the lab'ring soul relief. O may the sons of men record The wondrous goodness of the Lord How great his works! how kind his ways! Let every tongue pronounce his praise.

Psalm 107 Part 3

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107 First Line: Vain man, on foolish pleasures bent Lyrics: Vain man, on foolish pleasures bent, Prepares for his own punishment; What pains, what loathsome maladies, From luxury and lust arise! The drunkard feels his vitals waste, Yet drowns his health to please his taste; Till all his active powers are lost, And fainting life draws near the dust. The glutton groans, and loathes to eat, His soul abhors delicious meat; Nature, with heavy loads oppressed, Would yield to death to be released. Then how the frighted sinners fly To God for help with earnest cry! He hears their groans, prolongs their breath, And saves them from approaching death. No med'cines could effect the cure So quick, so easy, or so sure; The deadly sentence God repeals, He sends his sovereign word, and heals. O may the sons of men record The wondrous goodness of the Lord! And let their thankful off'rings prove How they adore their Maker's love Topics: Providence in air, earth, and sea; Weather; Israel saved from Egypt, and brought to Canaan; Providence recorded; Church restored by prayer; Israel punished and pardoned; Saints conducted to heaven; Saints punished and pardoned; Colonies Planted; Deliverance from shipwreck; Drunkard and glutton; Glutton and drunkard; Intemperance and pardoned; Israel travels in the wilderness; Luxury pardoned; Mariner's psalm; Mercies recorded; Nation's blest and punished; New England psalm; Psalm for gluttons and drunkards; Psalm for mariners; Psalm for New England; Seamen's song; Shipwreck prevented

Psalm 107 Part 4

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 64 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107 First Line: Would you behold the works of God Lyrics: Would you behold the works of God, His wonders in the world abroad, Go with the mariners, and trace The unknown regions of the seas. They leave their native shores behind, And seize the favor of the wind; Till God command, and tempests rise That heave the ocean to the skies. Now to the heav'ns they mount amain, Now sink to dreadful deeps again; What strange affrights young sailors feel, And like a stagg'ring drunkard reel! When land is far, and death is nigh, Lost to all hope, to God they cry; His mercy hears the loud address, And sends salvation in distress. He bids the winds their wrath assuage, The furious waves forget their rage; 'Tis calm, and sailors smile to see The haven where they wished to be. O may the sons of men record The wondrous goodness of the Lord! Let them their private off'rings bring, And in the church his glory sing.

Psalm 107 Part 4

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 75 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107 First Line: Thy works of glory, mighty Lord Lyrics: Thy works of glory, mighty Lord, Thy wonders in the deeps, The sons of courage shall record Who trade in floating ships. At thy command the winds arise, And swell the towering waves; The men astonished mount the skies, And sink in gaping graves. [Again they climb the wat'ry hills, And plunge in deeps again; Each like a tott'ring drunkard reels, And finds his courage vain. Frighted to hear the tempest roar, They pant with flutt'ring breath; And hopeless of the distant shore, Expect immediate death.] Then to the Lord they raise their cries; He bears the loud request, And orders silence through the skies, And lays the floods to rest. Sailors rejoice to lose their fears, And see the storm allayed: Now to their eyes the port appears; There let their vows be paid. 'Tis God that brings them safe to land; Let stupid mortals know That waves are under his command, And all the winds that blow. O that the sons of men would praise The goodness of the Lord! And those that see thy wondrous ways, Thy wondrous love record.

Psalm 107 Last Part

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107 First Line: When God, provoked with daring crimes Lyrics: When God, provoked with daring crimes, Scourges the madness of the times, He turns their fields to barren sand, And dries the rivers from the land. His word can raise the springs again, And make the withered mountains green; Send showery blessings from the skies, And harvests in the desert rise. [Where nothing dwelt but beasts of prey, Or men as fierce and wild as they, He bids th' oppressed and poor repair, And builds them towns and cities there. They sow the fields, and trees they plant, Whose yearly fruit supplies their want; Their race grows up from fruitful stocks, Their wealth increases with their flocks. Thus they are blessed; but if they sin, He lets the heathen nations in; A savage crew invades their lands, Their princes die by barb'rous hands. Their captive sons, exposed to scorn, Wander unpitied and forlorn; The country lies unfenced, untilled, And desolation spreads the field. Yet if the humbled nation mourns, Again his dreadful hand he turns; Again he makes their cities thrive, And bids the dying churches live.] The righteous, with a joyful sense, Admire the works of Providence; And tongues of atheists shall no more Blaspheme the God that saints adore. How few with pious care record These wondrous dealings of the Lord! But wise observers still shall find The Lord is holy, just, and kind.
