Psalms 107:27-36 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

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 chang'd into a calmat his command and will;So that the waves, which rag'd before,now quiet are and still.

30. Then are they glad, because at restand quiet now they be:So to the haven he them brings,which they desir'd to see.

31. O that men to the Lord would givepraise for his goodness then,And for his works of wonder doneunto the sons of men!

32. Among the people gatheredlet them exalt his name;Among assembled elders spreadhis most renowned 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 parched wildernessto water-pools he brings;The ground that was dry'd up beforehe turns to water-springs:

36. And there, for dwelling, he a placedoth to the hungry give,That they a city may preparecommodiously to live.
