1 - O give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

2 - Let the redeemed of Jehovah sayso, Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary,

3 - And gathered 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 desert way; They found no city of habitation.

5 - Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them.

6 - Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distresses,

7 - He led them also by a straight way, That they might go to a city of habitation.

8 - Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

9 - For he satisfieth the longing soul, And the hungry soul he filleth 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 brought down their heart with labor; They fell down, and there was none to help.

13 - Then they cried unto Jehovah 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 bonds in sunder.

15 - Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, 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 food; And they draw near unto the gates of death.

19 - Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he saveth them out of their distresses.

20 - He sendeth his word, and healeth them, And delivereth them from their destructions.

21 - Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, 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 see the works of Jehovah, 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 heavens, they go down again to the depths: Their soul melteth away because of trouble.

27 - They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, And are at their wits’ end.

28 - Then they cry unto Jehovah 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 are quiet; So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

31 - Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, 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 desert, 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, That they may prepare a city of habitation,

37 - And sow fields, and plant vineyards, And get them fruits of increase.

38 - He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; And he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

39 - Again, they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, trouble, 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 him families like a flock.

42 - The upright shall see it, and be glad; And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

43 - Whoso is wise will give heed to these things; And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah.
