| 1. | Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness endureth for ever. |
| 2. | Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the oppressor, |
| 3. | And gathered out of the countries, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the sea. |
| 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. | And he led them forth by a right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. |
| 8. | Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men; |
| 9. | For he hath satisfied the longing soul and filled the hungry soul with good. |
| 10. | Such as inhabit darkness and the shadow of death, bound in affliction and iron, |
| 11. | Because they had rebelled against the words of łGod, and had despised the counsel of the Most High; ... |
| 12. | And he bowed down their heart with labour; they stumbled, 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 broke their bands in sunder. |
| 15. | Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men; |
| 16. | For he hath broken the gates of bronze, and cut asunder the bars of iron. |
| 17. | Fools, because of their way of 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. | Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men, |
| 22. | And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works in joyful song. |
| 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 speaketh, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof: |
| 26. | They mount up to the heavens, they go down to the depths; their soul is melted because of trouble; |
| 27. | They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and they 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, and the waves thereof are still: |
| 30. | And they rejoice because they are quiet; and he bringeth them unto their desired haven. |
| 31. | Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men; |
| 32. | Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the session of the elders. |
| 33. | He maketh rivers into a wilderness, and water-springs into dry ground; |
| 34. | A fruitful land into a plain of salt, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. |
| 35. | He maketh the wilderness into a pool of water, and the dry land into water-springs; |
| 36. | And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, and they establish a city of habitation; |
| 37. | And sow fields, and plant vineyards, which yield fruits of increase; |
| 38. | And he blesseth them, so that they are multiplied greatly; and he suffereth not their cattle to decrease. |
| 39. | And they are diminished and brought low, through oppression, adversity, and sorrow: |
| 40. | He poureth contempt upon nobles, and causeth them to wander in a pathless waste; |
| 41. | But he secureth the needy one on high from affliction, and maketh him families like flocks. |
| 42. | The upright shall see it, and rejoice; and all unrighteousness shall stop its mouth. |
| 43. | Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, and let them understand the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah. |
