Praise the LORD, for He Is Good
Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107 Lyrics: 1 Praise the LORD, for He is good,
for His mercies ever sure
from eternity have stood,
to eternity endure;
let His ransomed people raise
songs to their Redeemer's praise.
2 From captivity released,
from the south and from the north,
from the west and from the east,
in His love He brought them forth,
ransomed out of every land
from the adversary's hand.
3 Wand'ring in the wilderness,
far they roamed the desert way,
found no settled dwelling-place
where in peace secure to stay,
till with thirst and hunger pressed
courage sank within their breast.
4 To Jehovah then they cried
in their trouble, and He saved;
He Himself became their guide,
led them to the rest they craved
by a pathway straight and sure,
to a city strong, secure.
5 Sons of men, awake to praise
God the LORD who reigns above,
gracious in His works and ways,
wondrous in redeeming love;
longing souls He satisfies,
hungry hearts with good supplies.

Praise the LORD, for He Is Good
Praise ye the Lord, for he is good
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107 Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, for he is good,
his mercies lasting be;
2 let his redeemed say so, whom he
from hand of foes did free;
3 and gathered them out of the lands,
from north, south, east, and west.
4 They strayed in desert's pathless way,
not city found to rest.
5 Their soul with thirst and hunger faints
when troubles sore them press,
6 they cry unto the Lord, and he
them frees from their distress.
7 Them also in a way to walk
that right is he did guide,
that they might to a city go,
wherein they might abide.
8 O that men to the Lord would give
praise for his goodness then,
and for his works of wonder done
unto the sons of men!
9 For he the soul that longing is
doth fully satisfy;
with goodness he the hungry soul
doth fill abundantly.
10 Such as shut up in darkness deep,
and in death's shade abide,
whom strongly hath affliction bound
and irons fast have tied:
11 because against the words of God
they wrought rebelliously;
and they the counsel did contemn
of him that is most High:
12 With labour he brought down their hearts,
they fell, and help none gave;
13 in trouble to the Lord they cried,
from straits he did them save.
14 He out of darkness did them bring,
and from death's shade them take;
their bands, wherewith they had been bound,
he did asunder break.
15 O that men to the Lord would give
praise for his goodness then,
and for his works of wonder done
unto the sons of men!
16 Because the mighty gates of brass
in pieces he did tear,
by him in sunder also cut
the bars of iron were.
17 Fools, for their trespasses and sins,
do sore affliction ber;
18 all kinds of meat their soul abhors;
they to death's gates draw near.
19 In grief they cry to God; he saves
them from their miseries.
20 He sends his word, them heals, and them
from their destruction frees.
21 O that men to the Lord would give
praise for his goodness then,
and for his works of wonder done
unto the sons of men!
22 And let them sacrifice to him
offerings of thankfulness;
and let them show abroad his works
in songs of joyfulness.
23 Who go to sea in ships and in
great waters trading be,
24 the Lord's works these within the deep
and his great wonders see.
25 For he commands, and forth in haste
the stormy tempest flies,
which makes the sea with rolling waves
aloft to swell and rise.
26 They mount to heaven, then to the depths
they do go down again;
their soul doth faint and melt away
with trouble and with pain.
27 They reel and stagger like one drunk
at their wit's end they be:
28 in trouble to the Lord they cry,
from straits he sets them free.
29 The storm is changed into a calm
at his command and will;
so that the waves, which raged before,
now quiet are and still.
30 Then are they glad, because at rest
and quiet now they be:
so to the haven he them brings,
which they desired to see.
31 O that men to the Lord would give
praise for his goodness then,
and for his works of wonder done
unto the sons of men!
32 Among the people gathered
let them exalt his name;
among assembled elders spread
is most renowned fame.
33 He turneth springs to thirsty ground,
floods to a wilderness;
34 for sins of those that dwell therein,
fat land to barrenness.
35 He turns to pools the wilderness
long parched with drought and burned;
by him the ground dried up before
to water-springs is turned.
36 And there, for dwelling, he a place
doth to the hungry give,
that they a city may prepare
where they in peace may live.
37 There sow they fields, and vineyards plant,
which yield fruits of increase;
38 his blessing makes them multiply,
lets not their herds decrease.
39 Again they are diminished,
and brought to low estate,
by pressure of calamity,
and by affliction great.
40 On princes he doth pour contempt,
and causeth them to stray,
and wander in a wilderness,
wherein there is no way.
41 Yet setteth he the poor on high
from all their miseries,
and even like unto a flock
he maketh families.
42 They that are righteous shall rejoice,
when they the same shall see,
and, as ashamed, stop her mouth
shall all iniquity.
43 Whoso is wise, and will these things
observe, and them record,
even they shall understand the love
and kindness of the Lord.

Praise ye the Lord, for he is good

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 94 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107 First Line: Thro' all the various shifting scenes Lyrics: 1 Thro' all the various shifting scenes,
Of life's mistaken good or ill;
Thy hand, O God, conducts unseen
Our changes by thy sov'reign will.
2 Thou givest with paternal care,
Howe'er unjustly we complain,
To each their necessary share
Of joy and sorrow, health and pain.
3 Trust we to youth, or friends, or power,
Fix we on this terrestrial ball?
When most secure, the coming hour,
If thou see fit, may blast them all.
4 When lowest sunk with grief and shame,
Fill'd with affliction's bitter cup,
Lost to relations, friends, and fame,
Thy powerful hand can raise us up.
5 Thy gracious consolations cheer,
Thy smiles suppress the deep-fetch'd sigh,
Thy hand can dry the trickling tear
That secret wets th' afflicted eye.
6 All things on earth, and all in heaven
On thy eternal will depend;
And all for greater good were given,
And all shall in thy glory end.
7 this be my care; to all beside
Indifferent let my wishes be;
Passion be calm; and dumb be pride,
And fix'd, O God, my soul on thee. Topics: Providence Equitable and kind; Providence Equitable and kind

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

Psalm 107
Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107:1-8 First Line: Give thanks unto the Lord our God Lyrics: 1 Give thanks unto the Lord our God.
How good and kind is he
whose tender mercy shall endure
through all eternity.
Let God's redeemed repeat these words
and give him thanks and praise
who rescued them from hostile hands,
preserved them all their days.
2 He gathered them from out the lands,
from north, south, east, and west.
They strayed in desert's pathless way,
no city found to rest.
Their weary soul within then faints
when thirst and hunger press;
in trouble then they cried to God;
he saved them from distress.
3 He made the way before them straight,
and he became their guide,
that they might to a city go
wherein they might abide.
Let all the children of the Lord
now praise him for his grace,
and for the works of wonder done
in every time and place! Topics: Deliverance; Guidance; Praise Used With Tune: WATSON Text Sources: The Scottish Psalter, 1929, alt.

Praises to our King
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.
