The Worst and the Best

Psalm 107:1-9

¹ “Give thanks to the LORD because he is good, because his faithful love lasts forever!” ² That’s what those who are redeemed by the LORD say, the ones God redeemed from the power of their enemies, ³ the ones God gathered from various countries, from east and west, north and south. ⁴ Some of the redeemed had wandered into the desert, into the wasteland. They couldn’t find their way to a city or town. ⁵ They were hungry and thirsty; their lives were slipping away. ⁶ So they cried out to the LORD in their distress, and God delivered them from their desperate circumstances. ⁷ God led them straight to human habitation. ⁸ Let them thank the LORD for his faithful love and his wondrous works for all people, ⁹ because God satisfied the one who was parched with thirst, and he filled up the hungry with good things!
