O give thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068, for he is goodH2896: for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.
Let the redeemedH1350 of the LORDH3068 sayH559 so, whom he hath redeemedH1350 from the handH3027 of the enemyH6862;
And gatheredH6908 them out of the landsH776, from the eastH4217, and from the westH4628, from the northH6828, and from the southH3220. {south: Heb. sea}
They wanderedH8582 in the wildernessH4057 in a solitaryH3452 wayH1870; they foundH4672 no cityH5892 to dwellH4186 in.
HungryH7457 and thirstyH6771, their soulH5315 faintedH5848 in them.
Then they criedH6817 unto the LORDH3068 in their troubleH6862, and he deliveredH5337 them out of their distressesH4691.
And he led them forthH1869 by the rightH3477 wayH1870, that they might goH3212 to a cityH5892 of habitationH4186.
Oh that men would praiseH3034 the LORDH3068 for his goodnessH2617, and for his wonderful worksH6381 to the childrenH1121 of menH120!
For he satisfiethH7646 the longingH8264 soulH5315, and fillethH4390 the hungryH7457 soulH5315 with goodnessH2896.
Such as sitH3427 in darknessH2822 and in the shadow of deathH6757, being boundH615 in afflictionH6040 and ironH1270;
Because they rebelledH4784 against the wordsH561 of GodH410, and contemnedH5006 the counselH6098 of the most HighH5945:
Therefore he brought downH3665 their heartH3820 with labourH5999; they fell downH3782, and there was none to helpH5826.
Then they criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068 in their troubleH6862, and he savedH3467 them out of their distressesH4691.
He brought them outH3318 of darknessH2822 and the shadow of deathH6757, and brakeH5423 their bandsH4147 in sunderH5423.
Oh that men would praiseH3034 the LORDH3068 for his goodnessH2617, and for his wonderful worksH6381 to the childrenH1121 of menH120!
For he hath brokenH7665 the gatesH1817 of brassH5178, and cutH1438 the barsH1280 of ironH1270 in sunderH1438.
FoolsH191 becauseH1870 of their transgressionH6588, and because of their iniquitiesH5771, are afflictedH6031.
Their soulH5315 abhorrethH8581 all manner of meatH400; and they draw nearH5060 unto the gatesH8179 of deathH4194.
Then they cryH2199 unto the LORDH3068 in their troubleH6862, and he savethH3467 them out of their distressesH4691.
He sentH7971 his wordH1697, and healedH7495 them, and deliveredH4422 them from their destructionsH7825.
Oh that men would praiseH3034 the LORDH3068 for his goodnessH2617, and for his wonderful worksH6381 to the childrenH1121 of menH120!
And let them sacrificeH2076 the sacrificesH2077 of thanksgivingH8426, and declareH5608 his worksH4639 with rejoicingH7440. {rejoicing: Heb. singing}
They that go downH3381 to the seaH3220 in shipsH591, that doH6213 businessH4399 in greatH7227 watersH4325;
These seeH7200 the worksH4639 of the LORDH3068, and his wondersH6381 in the deepH4688.
For he commandethH559, and raisethH5975 the stormyH5591 windH7307, which lifteth upH7311 the wavesH1530 thereof. {raiseth: Heb. maketh to stand}
They mount upH5927 to the heavenH8064, they go downH3381 again to the depthsH8415: their soulH5315 is meltedH4127 because of troubleH7451.
They reel to and froH2287, and staggerH5128 like a drunken manH7910, and are at their wits'H2451 endH1104. {are…: Heb. all their wisdom is swallowed up}
Then they cryH6817 unto the LORDH3068 in their troubleH6862, and he bringeth them outH3318 of their distressesH4691.
He makethH6965 the stormH5591 a calmH1827, so that the wavesH1530 thereof are stillH2814.
Then are they gladH8055 because they be quietH8367; so he bringethH5148 them unto their desiredH2656 havenH4231.
Oh that men would praiseH3034 the LORDH3068 for his goodnessH2617, and for his wonderful worksH6381 to the childrenH1121 of menH120!
Let them exaltH7311 him also in the congregationH6951 of the peopleH5971, and praiseH1984 him in the assemblyH4186 of the eldersH2205.
He turnethH7760 riversH5104 into a wildernessH4057, and the waterspringsH4325+H4161 into dry groundH6774;
A fruitfulH6529 landH776 into barrennessH4420, for the wickednessH7451 of them that dwellH3427 therein. {barrenness: Heb. saltiness}
He turnethH7760 the wildernessH4057 into a standingH98 waterH4325, and dryH6723 groundH776 into waterspringsH4325+H4161.
And there he maketh the hungryH7457 to dwellH3427, that they may prepareH3559 a cityH5892 for habitationH4186;
And sowH2232 the fieldsH7704, and plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, which may yieldH6213 fruitsH6529 of increaseH8393.
He blessethH1288 them also, so that they are multipliedH7235 greatlyH3966; and sufferethH4591 not their cattleH929 to decreaseH4591.
Again, they are minishedH4591 and brought lowH7817 through oppressionH6115, afflictionH7451, and sorrowH3015.
He pourethH8210 contemptH937 upon princesH5081, and causeth them to wanderH8582 in the wildernessH8414, where there is no wayH1870. {wilderness: or, void place}
Yet setteth he the poorH34 on highH7682 from afflictionH6040, and makethH7760 him familiesH4940 like a flockH6629. {from: or, after}
The righteousH3477 shall seeH7200 it, and rejoiceH8055: and all iniquityH5766 shall stopH7092 her mouthH6310.
Whoso is wiseH2450, and will observeH8104 these things, even they shall understandH995 the lovingkindnessH2617 of the LORDH3068.
