"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever". This is how psalm 107 starts Book 5 of the psalms. This psalm is a lovely hymn of thanksgiving for all God's deliverance and blessing. The psalmist talks about God's people crying out to God for help and his delivering them from their distress. "Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love... they cried to the Lord in their trouble and he saved them from their distress.... He brought them out of the deepest gloom... he sent forth his word and healed them... let them tell of his works with songs of joy... he guided them to their desired haven... he turned the desert into pools of water... and they founded a city where they could live... he blessed them and their numbers greatly increased... whoever is wise, let him heed these things and consider the great love of the Lord".
