1. |
O give thanks unto Jehovah; For he is good; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
|
|
2. |
Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so, 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.
