Psalm
107 Prayed
Praising Jesus for our salvation
Thanking Jesus for saving
us
We give thanks to you, Lord
Jesus, for you are
good;
your
love endures forever.
As the redeemed of the Lord, we
say this—
as
those you redeemed from the hand of the
foe,
as those you gathered from the
lands,
from
east and west, from north and south:
Some of us wandered in desert
wastelands,
finding
no way to a city where we could
settle.
We were hungry and thirsty,
and
our lives ebbed away.
Then we cried out to you in our
trouble, O Jesus,
and
you delivered us from our distress.
You led us through the small
gate,
along
the narrow and straight way that leads to
life,
you
led us to a city where we could settle,
Now we are longing for a better
country—
a
heavenly one.
Therefore your are not ashamed
to be called our
God,
for
you have prepared a city for us.
We give thanks to you, Lord
Jesus for your
unfailing
love
and
your wonderful deeds for men,
for you satisfied our thirst,
you
cried out, “Let anyone who is thirsty come
to
me and drink.”
You fill our hunger with good
things, for you
promised;
“I
am the bread of life.
He
who comes to me will never go hungry,
and
he who believes in me will never be
thirsty.”
Thanking Jesus for saving
us from sin
Some of us sat in darkness and
the deepest gloom,
prisoners
suffering in iron chains,
for we had rebelled against the
Word of God
and
despised the counsel of the Most High.
So you subjected us to bitter
labour;
we
stumbled, and there was no one to help.
Then we cried to Jesus in our
trouble,
and
you saved us from our distress.
You brought us out of darkness
and the deepest
gloom
and
broke away our chains.
You freed us, who all our lives
were
held in slavery by our fear of death.
Now we know that
our old self was crucified
with
you,
so
that the body of sin might be done away
with,
that we should no longer be
slaves to sin,
because
anyone who has died has been freed
from
sin.
Now since we died with you, O
Christ,
we
believe that we will also live with you.
For
we know that since you were raised from the
dead,
you
cannot die again;
death
no longer has mastery over you.
The
death you died,
you
died to sin once for all of us;
but
the life we now live, we live to God.
So we give thanks to you, Lord
Jesus, for your
unfailing
love
and
your wonderful deeds for us,
for you broke down gates of
bronze
and
cut through bars of iron.
Thanking Jesus for saving
us from ourselves
Some of us became fools through
our rebellious
ways
and
suffered affliction because of our
iniquities.
We loathed all food
and
drew near the gates of death.
Then we cried to Jesus in our
trouble,
and
you saved us from our distress.
You sent forth your Word the
Bible and healed us;
you
rescued us from the grave.
For even after our skin has
been destroyed,
yet
in our flesh we will see God;
By the power that enables you
to
bring everything under your control,
you will transform our lowly bodies
so
that they will be like your glorious body.
You are the resurrection and
the life.
Since
we believe in you,
we
will live, even though we will die.
So we give thanks to the you,
Lord Jesus, for your
unfailing
love
and
your wonderful deeds for us.
We bring you our sacrifice of
thank offerings
and
tell of your works with songs of joy.
Thanking Jesus for saving
us from life’s troubles
Some of us went out on the sea
in ships;
we
were like merchants on the mighty waters.
We saw your works, O Lord,
your
wonderful deeds in the deep.
For you spoke and stirred up a
tempest
that
lifted high the waves.
We mounted up to the heavens
and went down to
the
depths;
in
our peril our courage melted away.
We reeled and staggered like
drunken men;
we
were at their wits’ end.
Then we cried out to you in our
trouble,
and
you brought us out of our distress.
You stilled the storm to a
whisper;
the
waves of the sea were hushed.
We were like your disciples
when a squall came
down
on the lake,
so
that the boat was being swamped,
and
they were in great danger.
They went and woke you, saying,
“Master,
Master, we’re going to drown!”
You got up and rebuked the wind
and the raging
waters;
the
storm subsided, and all was calm.
We too were glad when it grew
calm,
and
you guided us to our desired haven.
So we give thanks to you, Lord
Jesus for your
unfailing
love
and
your wonderful deeds for men.
We exalt you in the assembly of
the people
and
praise you before our whole church.
Thanking Jesus for
persevering in saving us
For ancient Israel, you turned the
rivers of Canaan
into
a desert,
flowing
springs into thirsty ground,
and fruitful land into a salt
waste,
because
of the wickedness of those who lived
there.
You then turned the desert into
pools of water
and
the parched ground into flowing springs;
there you brought the hungry
escaped slaves of
Egypt
to live,
and
they founded the city of Jerusalem where
they
could settle.
They sowed fields and planted
vineyards
that
yielded a fruitful harvest;
you blessed them, and their
numbers greatly
increased,
and
you did not let their herds diminish.
Then their numbers decreased,
and they were
humbled
by
oppression, calamity and sorrow;
You poured contempt on nobles
made
them wander in a trackless waste.
But you lifted the needy out of
their affliction
and
increased their families like flocks.
The upright see the works you
did for your people
and
rejoice,
but
all the wicked shut their mouths.
And since you have also began a
good work in us,
you
will carry it on to completion
until
the day of Jesus Christ.
You will keep us strong to the
end,
so
that we will be blameless on the day
of
your return, Lord Jesus Christ.
Since we died with you,
we
will also live with you;
if we endure,
we
will also reign with you.
If we disown you,
you
will also disown us;
if we are faithless,
you
will remain faithful,
for
you cannot disown yourself.
Make us wise and let us heed
these things
and
consider your great love, O Lord Jesus.
and
consider the great love of the LORD.
