| 1 | O giue thankes vnto the Lord, for hee is good: for his mercie endureth for euer. |
| 2 | Let the redeemed of the Lord say so: whome he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemie: |
| 3 | And gathered them out of the lands, from the East and from the West: from the North and from the South. |
| 4 | They wandred in the wildernes, in a solitary way: they found no citie to dwell in. |
| 5 | Hungry and thirstie: their soule fainted in them. |
| 6 | Then they cryed vnto the Lord in their trouble: and he deliuered them out of their distresses. |
| 7 | And hee led them forth by the right way: that they might goe to a citie of habitation. |
| 8 | Oh that men would praise the Lord, for his goodnesse: and for his wonderfull workes to the children of men. |
| 9 | For he satisfieth the longing soule: and filleth the hungry soule with goodnesse. |
| 10 | Such as sit in darknesse and in the shadowe of death: being bound in affliction and yron: |
| 11 | Because they rebelled against the words of God: and contemned the counsell of the most high: |
| 12 | Therefore hee brought downe their heart with labour: they fel downe, and there was none to helpe. |
| 13 | Then they cryed vnto the Lord in their trouble: and he saued them out of their distresses. |
| 14 | Hee brought them out of darkenesse, and the shadowe of death: and brake their bands insunder. |
| 15 | Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodnesse: and for his wonderfull workes to the children of men. |
| 16 | For he hath broken the gates of brasse: and cut the barres of yron in sunder. |
| 17 | Fooles, because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. |
| 18 | Their soule abhorreth all manner of meate: and they drawe neere vnto the gates of death. |
| 19 | Then they crie vnto the Lord in their trouble: he saueth them out of their distresses. |
| 20 | Hee sent his word, and healed them: and deliuered them from their destructions. |
| 21 | Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodnesse: and for his wonderfull workes, to the children of men. |
| 22 | And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thankesgiuing: and declare his workes with reioycing. |
| 23 | They that goe downe to the sea in shippes: that doe businesse in great waters: |
| 24 | These see the workes of the Lord: and his wonders in the deepe. |
| 25 | For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy winde: which lifteth vp the waues thereof. |
| 26 | They mount vp to the heauen: they goe downe againe to the depthes: their soule is melted because of trouble. |
| 27 | They reele to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man; and are at their wits end. |
| 28 | Then they cry vnto the Lord in their trouble: and hee bringeth them out of their distresses. |
| 29 | He maketh the storme a calme: so that the waues thereof are still. |
| 30 | Then are they glad, because they be quiet: so he bringeth them vnto their desired hauen. |
| 31 | Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodnesse; and for his wonderfull workes to the children of men: |
| 32 | Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the Elders. |
| 33 | Hee turneth riuers into a wildernesse: and the water springs into dry ground: |
| 34 | A fruitfull land into barrennesse; for the wickednesse of them that dwell therein. |
| 35 | He turneth the wildernesse into a standing water: and dry ground into water-springs. |
| 36 | And there he maketh the hungry to dwell; that they may prepare a citie for habitation, |
| 37 | And sowe the fields, and plant vineyards; which may yeeld fruits of increase. |
| 38 | He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly: and suffreth not their cattell to decrease. |
| 39 | Againe, they are minished and brought lowe through oppression, affliction and sorrow. |
| 40 | Hee powreth contempt vpon princes: and causeth them to wander in the wildernesse, where there is no way. |
| 41 | Yet setteth he the poore on high from affliction: and maketh him families like a flocke. |
| 42 | The righteous shall see it, and reioyce; and all iniquitie shall stop her mouth. |
| 43 | Who so is wise, and will obserue those things; euen they shall vnderstand the louing kindenesse of the Lord. |
