- 1
- Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!
- 2
- Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble
- 3
- and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
- 4
- Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in;
- 5
- hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them.
- 6
- Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.
- 7
- He led them by a straight way till they reached a city to dwell in.
- 8
- Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!
- 9
- For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things.
- 10
- Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and in irons,
- 11
- for they had rebelled against the words of God, and spurned the counsel of the Most High.
- 12
- So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor; they fell down, with none to help.
- 13
- Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.
- 14
- He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart.
- 15
- Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!
- 16
- For he shatters the doors of bronze and cuts in two the bars of iron.
- 17
- Some were fools through their sinful ways, and because of their iniquities suffered affliction;
- 18
- they loathed any kind of food, and they drew near to the gates of death.
- 19
- Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.
- 20
- He sent out his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction.
- 21
- Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!
- 22
- And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, and tell of his deeds in songs of joy!
- 23
- Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters;
- 24
- they saw the deeds of the LORD, his wondrous works in the deep.
- 25
- For he commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea.
- 26
- They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their evil plight;
- 27
- they reeled and staggered like drunken men and were at their wits’ end.
- 28
- Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.
- 29
- He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed.
- 30
- Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven.
- 31
- Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!
- 32
- Let them extol him in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
- 33
- He turns rivers into a desert, springs of water into thirsty ground,
- 34
- a fruitful land into a salty waste, because of the evil of its inhabitants.
- 35
- He turns a desert into pools of water, a parched land into springs of water.
- 36
- And there he lets the hungry dwell, and they establish a city to live in;
- 37
- they sow fields and plant vineyards and get a fruitful yield.
- 38
- By his blessing they multiply greatly, and he does not let their livestock diminish.
- 39
- When they are diminished and brought low through oppression, evil, and sorrow,
- 40
- he pours contempt on princes and makes them wander in trackless wastes;
- 41
- but he raises up the needy out of affliction and makes their families like flocks.
- 42
- The upright see it and are glad, and all wickedness shuts its mouth.
- 43
- Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things; let them consider the steadfast love of the LORD.
