6Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble;
         He delivered them out of their distresses.

7He led them also by a straight way,
         To go to an inhabited city.

8Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness,
         And for His wonders to the sons of men!

9For He has satisfied the thirsty soul,
         And the hungry soul He has filled with what is good.

10There were those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death,
         Prisoners in misery and chains,

11Because they had rebelled against the words of God
         And spurned the counsel of the Most High.

12Therefore He humbled their heart with labor;
         They stumbled and there was none to help.

13Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble;
         He saved them out of their distresses.

14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death
         And broke their bands apart.

15Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness,
         And for His wonders to the sons of men!

16For He has shattered gates of bronze
         And cut bars of iron asunder.

17Fools, because of their rebellious way,
         And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.

18Their soul abhorred all kinds of food,
         And they drew near to the gates of death.

19Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble;
         He saved them out of their distresses.

20He sent His word and healed them,
         And delivered them from their destructions.

21Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness,
         And for His wonders to the sons of men!

22Let them also offer sacrifices of thanksgiving,
         And tell of His works with joyful singing.

23Those who go down to the sea in ships,
         Who do business on great waters;

24They have seen the works of the LORD,
         And His wonders in the deep.

25For He spoke and raised up a stormy wind,
         Which lifted up the waves of the sea.

26They rose up to the heavens, they went down to the depths;
         Their soul melted away in their misery.

27They reeled and staggered like a drunken man,
         And were at their wits’ end.

28Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
         And He brought them out of their distresses.

29He caused the storm to be still,
         So that the waves of the sea were hushed.

30Then they were glad because they were quiet,
         So He guided them to their desired haven.

31Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness,
         And for His wonders to the sons of men!

32Let them extol Him also in the congregation of the people,
         And praise Him at the seat of the elders.

33He changes rivers into a wilderness
         And springs of water into a thirsty ground;

34A fruitful land into a salt waste,
         Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it.

35He changes a wilderness into a pool of water
         And a dry land into springs of water;

36And there He makes the hungry to dwell,
         So that they may establish an inhabited city,

37And sow fields and plant vineyards,
         And gather a fruitful harvest.

38Also He blesses them and they multiply greatly,
         And He does not let their cattle decrease.

39When they are diminished and bowed down
         Through oppression, misery and sorrow,

40He pours contempt upon princes
         And makes them wander in a pathless waste.

41But He sets the needy securely on high away from affliction,
         And makes his families like a flock.

42The upright see it and are glad;
         But all unrighteousness shuts its mouth.

43Who is wise? Let him give heed to these things,
         And consider the lovingkindnesses of the LORD.

World English Bible
Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses,

Young's Literal Translation
And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distress He delivereth them,March 12. "They Wandered in the Wilderness in a Solitary Way" (Ps. Cvii. 4).
"They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way" (Ps. cvii. 4). All who fight the Lord's battles must be content to die to all the favorable opinions of men and all the flattery of human praise. You cannot make an exception in favor of the good opinions of the children of God. It is very easy for the insidious adversary to make this also all appeal to the flesh. It is all right when God sends us the approval of our fellow men, but we must never make it a motive in our life, but be content with …

Prayer and Science
(Preached at St. Olave's Church, Hart Street, before the Honourable Corporation of the Trinity House, 1866.) PSALM cvii. 23, 24, 28. They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; these see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. These are days in which there is much dispute about religion and science--how far they agree with each other; whether they contradict or interfere …

God's great Deliverance of His People.--Ps. cvii. part I.--The Wilderness. part II.--From Captivity. part III. From Malignant Disease. part IV. Perils on the Deep.

Thankfulness for Mercies Received, a Necessary Duty
Numberless marks does man bear in his soul, that he is fallen and estranged from God; but nothing gives a greater proof thereof, than that backwardness, which every one finds within himself, to the duty of praise and thanksgiving. When God placed the first man in paradise, his soul no doubt was so filled with a sense of the riches of the divine love, that he was continually employing that breath of life, which the Almighty had not long before breathed into him, in blessing and magnifying that all-bountiful, …

He Accuses Abaelard for Preferring his Own Opinions and Even Fancies to the Unanimous Consent of the Fathers, Especially Where He Declares that Christ did Not
He accuses Abaelard for preferring his own opinions and even fancies to the unanimous consent of the Fathers, especially where he declares that Christ did not become incarnate in order to save man from the power of the devil. 11. I find in a book of his sentences, and also in an exposition of his of the Epistle to the Romans, that this rash inquirer into the Divine Majesty attacks the mystery of our Redemption. He admits in the very beginning of his disputation that there has never been but one conclusion …

Spiritual Hunger Shall be Satisfied
They shall be filled. Matthew 5:6 I proceed now to the second part of the text. A promise annexed. They shall be filled'. A Christian fighting with sin is not like one that beats the air' (1 Corinthians 9:26), and his hungering after righteousness is not like one that sucks in only air, Blessed are they that hunger, for they shall be filled.' Those that hunger after righteousness shall be filled. God never bids us seek him in vain' (Isaiah 45:19). Here is an honeycomb dropping into the mouths of …

How those are to be Admonished with whom Everything Succeeds According to their Wish, and those with whom Nothing Does.
(Admonition 27.) Differently to be admonished are those who prosper in what they desire in temporal matters, and those who covet indeed the things that are of this world, but yet are wearied with the labour of adversity. For those who prosper in what they desire in temporal matters are to be admonished, when all things answer to their wishes, lest, through fixing their heart on what is given, they neglect to seek the giver; lest they love their pilgrimage instead of their country; lest they turn …

"But if the Spirit of Him that Raised up Jesus from the Dead Dwell in You, He that Raised up Christ from the Dead, Shall Also
Rom. viii. 11.--"But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead, shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you." As there is a twofold death,--the death of the soul, and the death of the body--so there is a double resurrection, the resurrection of the soul from the power of sin, and the resurrection of the body from the grave. As the first death is that which is spiritual, then that which is bodily, so …

The Providence of God
Q-11: WHAT ARE GOD'S WORKS OF PROVIDENCE? A: God's works of providence are the acts of his most holy, wise, and powerful government of his creatures, and of their actions. Of the work of God's providence Christ says, My Father worketh hitherto and I work.' John 5:17. God has rested from the works of creation, he does not create any new species of things. He rested from all his works;' Gen 2:2; and therefore it must needs be meant of his works of providence: My Father worketh and I work.' His kingdom …

Exposition of Chap. Iii. (ii. 28-32. )
Ver. 1. "And it shall come to pass, afterwards, I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy; your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions." The communication of the Spirit of God was the constant prerogative of the Covenant-people. Indeed, the very idea of such a people necessarily requires it. For the Spirit of God is the only inward bond betwixt Him and that which is created; a Covenant-people, therefore, without such an inward …

Concerning the Lord's Supper
There are two passages which treat in the clearest manner of this subject, and at which we shall look,--the statements in the Gospels respecting the Lord's Supper, and the words of Paul. (1 Cor. xi.) Matthew, Mark, and Luke agree that Christ gave the whole sacrament to all His disciples; and that Paul taught both parts of it is so certain, that no one has yet been shameless enough to assert the contrary. Add to this, that according to the relation of Matthew, Christ did not say concerning the bread, …
