| 1 | O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. |
| 2 | Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; |
| 3 | And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. |
| 4 | They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. |
| 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 forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. |
| 8 | Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! |
| 9 | For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. |
| 10 | Such as sit 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 brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help. |
| 13 | Then 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 brake their bands in sunder. |
| 15 | Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, 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 | Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. |
| 18 | Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. |
| 19 | Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. |
| 20 | He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. |
| 21 | Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! |
| 22 | And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing. |
| 23 | They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; |
| 24 | These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. |
| 25 | For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. |
| 26 | They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. |
| 27 | They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end. |
| 28 | Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. |
| 29 | He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. |
| 30 | Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. |
| 31 | Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works 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 | He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground; |
| 34 | A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. |
| 35 | He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings. |
| 36 | And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation; |
| 37 | And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may 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 brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow. |
| 40 | He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way. |
| 41 | Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock. |
| 42 | The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. |
| 43 | Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
