Psalms 107–150

Psalm 107

¹Give thanks to the Lord,^(A) for he is good;^(B)
his love endures forever.

²Let the redeemed^(C) of the Lord tell their story—
those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,
³those he gathered^(D) from the lands,
from east and west, from north and south.^[a]

⁴Some wandered in desert^(E) wastelands,
    finding no way to a city^(F) where they could settle.
⁵They were hungry^(G) and thirsty,^(H)
    and their lives ebbed away.
⁶Then they cried out^(I) to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he delivered them from their distress.
⁷He led them by a straight way^(J)
    to a city^(K) where they could settle.
⁸Let them give thanks^(L) to the Lord for his unfailing love^(M)
    and his wonderful deeds^(N) for mankind,
⁹for he satisfies^(O) the thirsty
    and fills the hungry with good things.^(P)

Israel to Reap the Whirlwind

8 “Put the trumpet^(A) to your lips!
    An eagle^(B) is over the house of the Lord
because the people have broken my covenant^(C)
    and rebelled against my law.^(D)
²Israel cries out to me,
    ‘Our God, we acknowledge you!’
³But Israel has rejected what is good;
    an enemy will pursue him.^(E)
⁴They set up kings without my consent;
    they choose princes without my approval.^(F)
With their silver and gold
    they make idols^(G) for themselves
    to their own destruction.
⁵Samaria, throw out your calf-idol!^(H)
    My anger burns against them.
How long will they be incapable of purity?^(I)
⁶    They are from Israel!
This calf—a metalworker has made it;
    it is not God.^(J)
It will be broken in pieces,
    that calf^(K) of Samaria.^(L)

⁷“They sow the wind
    and reap the whirlwind.^(M)
The stalk has no head;
    it will produce no flour.^(N)
Were it to yield grain,
    foreigners would swallow it up.^(O)
⁸Israel is swallowed up;^(P)
    now she is among the nations
    like something no one wants.^(Q)
⁹For they have gone up to Assyria^(R)
    like a wild donkey^(S) wandering alone.
    Ephraim has sold herself to lovers.^(T)
¹⁰Although they have sold themselves among the nations,
    I will now gather them together.^(U)
They will begin to waste away^(V)
    under the oppression of the mighty king.

¹¹“Though Ephraim built many altars for sin offerings,
    these have become altars for sinning.^(W)
¹²I wrote for them the many things of my law,
    but they regarded them as something foreign.^(X)
¹³Though they offer sacrifices as gifts to me,
    and though they eat^(Y) the meat,
    the Lord is not pleased with them.^(Z)
Now he will remember^(AA) their wickedness
    and punish their sins:^(AB)
    They will return to Egypt.^(AC)
¹⁴Israel has forgotten^(AD) their Maker^(AE)
    and built palaces;
    Judah has fortified many towns.
But I will send fire on their cities
    that will consume their fortresses.”^(AF)
