| 1 | 'O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, For His mercy endureth for ever.' |
| 2 | So let the redeemed of the LORD say, Whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary; |
| 3 | And gathered them out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the sea. |
| 4 | They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; They found no city of habitation. |
| 5 | Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them. |
| 6 | Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, And He delivered them out of their distresses. |
| 7 | And He led them by a straight way, That they might go to a city of habitation. |
| 8 | Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! |
| 9 | For He hath satisfied the longing soul, And the hungry soul He hath filled with good. |
| 10 | Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron— |
| 11 | Because they rebelled against the words of God, And contemned the counsel of the Most High. |
| 12 | Therefore He humbled their heart with travail, They stumbled, and there was none to help— |
| 13 | They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, And He saved them out of their distresses. |
| 14 | He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And broke their bands in sunder. . |
| 15 | Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! |
| 16 | For He hath broken the gates of brass, And cut the bars of iron in sunder. |
| 17 | Crazed because of the way of their transgression, And afflicted because of their iniquities— |
| 18 | Their soul abhorred all manner of food, And they drew near unto the gates of death— |
| 19 | They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, And He saved them out of their distresses; |
| 20 | He sent His word, and healed them, And delivered them from their graves. |
| 21 | Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! |
| 22 | And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare His works with singing. |
| 23 | They that go down to the sea in ships, That do business in great waters— |
| 24 | These saw the works of the LORD, And His wonders in the deep; |
| 25 | For He commanded, and raised the stormy wind, Which lifted up the waves thereof; |
| 26 | They mounted up to the heaven, they went down to the deeps; Their soul melted away because of trouble; |
| 27 | They reeled to and fro, and staggered like a drunken man, And all their wisdom was swallowed up— |
| 28 | They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, And He brought them out of their distresses. |
| 29 | He made the storm a calm, So that the waves thereof were still. |
| 30 | Then were they glad because they were quiet, And He led them unto their desired haven. |
| 31 | Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! |
| 32 | Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people, And praise Him in the seat of the elders. |
| 33 | He turneth rivers into a wilderness, And watersprings into a thirsty ground; |
| 34 | A fruitful land into a salt waste, For the wickedness of them that dwell therein. |
| 35 | He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water, And a dry land into watersprings. |
| 36 | And there He maketh the hungry to dwell, And they establish a city of habitation; |
| 37 | And sow fields, and plant vineyards, Which yield fruits of increase. |
| 38 | He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly, And suffereth not their cattle to decrease. |
| 39 | Again, they are minished and dwindle away Through oppression of evil and sorrow. |
| 40 | He poureth contempt upon princes, And causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way. |
| 41 | Yet setteth He the needy on high from affliction, And maketh his families like a flock. |
| 42 | The upright see it, and are glad; And all iniquity stoppeth her mouth. |
| 43 | Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, And let them consider the mercies of the LORD. |
