Psalm 107:1 KJV
O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.King James Version
The same verse in modern English
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.Psalm 107:1, World English Bible (WEB)
Sitting with this verse
Book Five of the Psalms opens with a call to thanks, and the next verse asks the redeemed to say so out loud. The KJV word “mercy” stands for the Hebrew hesed, the loyal covenant kindness the WEB calls “loving kindness.” It is the reason behind every rescue the psalm goes on to describe. Before asking for anything today, name one kindness you have already received, and thank the Lord for it by name.

Which of these are you: lost in a desert, bound in darkness, sick from your own choices, or tossed at sea? Cry out, and watch for the calm.
