2 - Let the redeemed of Jehovah say, Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary.

3 - And from the lands hath gathered them, From east and from west, From north, and from the sea.

4 - They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, A city of habitation they have not found.

5 - Hungry--yea--thirsty, Their soul in them becometh feeble,

6 - And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distress He delivereth them,

7 - And causeth them to tread in a right way, To go unto a city of habitation.

8 - They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.

9 - For He hath satisfied a longing soul, And a hungry soul hath filled <FI>with<Fi> goodness.

10 - Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of affliction and of iron,

11 - Because they changed the saying of God, And the counsel of the Most High despised.

12 - And He humbleth with labour their heart, They have been feeble, and there is no helper.

13 - And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them.

14 - He bringeth them out from the dark place, And death-shade, And their bands He draweth away.

15 - They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.

16 - For He hath broken doors of brass, And bars of iron He hath cut.

17 - Fools, by means of their transgression, And by their iniquities, afflict themselves.

18 - All food doth their soul abominate, And they come nigh unto the gates of death,

19 - And cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them,

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

21 - They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,

22 - And they sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving, And recount His works with singing.

23 - Those going down <FI>to<Fi> the sea in ships, Doing business in many waters,

24 - They have seen the works of Jehovah, And His wonders in the deep.

25 - And He saith, and appointeth a tempest, And it lifteth up its billows,

26 - They go up <FI>to<Fi> the heavens, they go down <FI>to<Fi> the depths, Their soul in evil is melted.

27 - They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.

28 - And they cry to Jehovah in their adversity, And from their distresses He bringeth them out.

29 - He establisheth a whirlwind to a calm, And hushed are their billows.

30 - And they rejoice because they are quiet, And He leadeth them to the haven of their desire.

31 - They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,

32 - And they exalt Him in the assembly of the people, And in the seat of the elders praise Him.

33 - He maketh rivers become a wilderness, And fountains of waters become dry land.

34 - A fruitful land becometh a barren place, For the wickedness of its inhabitants.

35 - He maketh a wilderness become a pool of water, And a dry land become fountains of waters.

36 - And He causeth the hungry to dwell there, And they prepare a city of habitation.

37 - And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, And they make fruits of increase.

38 - And He blesseth them, and they multiply exceedingly, And their cattle He doth not diminish.

39 - And they are diminished, and bow down, By restraint, evil, and sorrow.

40 - He is pouring contempt upon nobles, And causeth them to wander in vacancy--no way.

41 - And setteth on high the needy from affliction, And placeth families as a flock.

42 - The upright do see and rejoice, And all perversity hath shut her mouth.

43 - Who <FI>is<Fi> wise, and observeth these? They understand the kind acts of Jehovah!
