O give thanks{H3034}{(H8685)} unto the LORD{H3068}, for he is good{H2896}: for his mercy{H2617} endureth for ever{H5769}.

Let the redeemed{H1350}{(H8803)} of the LORD{H3068} say{H559}{(H8799)} so, whom he hath redeemed{H1350}{(H8804)} from the hand{H3027} of the enemy{H6862};

And gathered{H6908}{(H8765)} them out of the lands{H776}, from the east{H4217}, and from the west{H4628}, from the north{H6828}, and from the south{H3220}.

They wandered{H8582}{(H8804)} in the wilderness{H4057} in a solitary{H3452} way{H1870}; they found{H4672}{(H8804)} no city{H5892} to dwell{H4186} in.

Hungry{H7457} and thirsty{H6771}, their soul{H5315} fainted{H5848}{(H8691)} in them.

Then they cried{H6817}{(H8799)} unto the LORD{H3068} in their trouble{H6862}, and he delivered{H5337}{(H8686)} them out of their distresses{H4691}.

And he led them forth{H1869}{(H8686)} by the right{H3477} way{H1870}, that they might go{H3212}{(H8800)} to a city{H5892} of habitation{H4186}.

Oh that men would praise{H3034}{(H8686)} the LORD{H3068} for his goodness{H2617}, and for his wonderful works{H6381}{(H8737)} to the children{H1121} of men{H120}!

For he satisfieth{H7646}{(H8689)} the longing{H8264}{(H8802)} soul{H5315}, and filleth{H4390}{(H8765)} the hungry{H7457} soul{H5315} with goodness{H2896}.

Such as sit{H3427}{(H8802)} in darkness{H2822} and in the shadow of death{H6757}, being bound{H615} in affliction{H6040} and iron{H1270};

Because they rebelled{H4784}{(H8689)} against the words{H561} of God{H410}, and contemned{H5006}{(H8804)} the counsel{H6098} of the most High{H5945}:

Therefore he brought down{H3665}{(H8686)} their heart{H3820} with labour{H5999}; they fell down{H3782}{(H8804)}, and there was none to help{H5826}{(H8802)}.

Then they cried{H2199}{(H8799)} unto the LORD{H3068} in their trouble{H6862}, and he saved{H3467}{(H8686)} them out of their distresses{H4691}.

He brought them out{H3318}{(H8686)} of darkness{H2822} and the shadow of death{H6757}, and brake{H5423} their bands{H4147} in sunder{H5423}{(H8762)}.

Oh that men would praise{H3034}{(H8686)} the LORD{H3068} for his goodness{H2617}, and for his wonderful works{H6381}{(H8737)} to the children{H1121} of men{H120}!

For he hath broken{H7665}{(H8765)} the gates{H1817} of brass{H5178}, and cut{H1438} the bars{H1280} of iron{H1270} in sunder{H1438}{(H8765)}.

Fools{H191} because{H1870} of their transgression{H6588}, and because of their iniquities{H5771}, are afflicted{H6031}{(H8691)}.

Their soul{H5315} abhorreth{H8581}{(H8762)} all manner of meat{H400}; and they draw near{H5060}{(H8686)} unto the gates{H8179} of death{H4194}.

Then they cry{H2199}{(H8799)} unto the LORD{H3068} in their trouble{H6862}, and he saveth{H3467}{(H8686)} them out of their distresses{H4691}.

He sent{H7971}{(H8799)} his word{H1697}, and healed{H7495}{(H8799)} them, and delivered{H4422}{(H8762)} them from their destructions{H7825}.

Oh that men would praise{H3034}{(H8686)} the LORD{H3068} for his goodness{H2617}, and for his wonderful works{H6381}{(H8737)} to the children{H1121} of men{H120}!

And let them sacrifice{H2076}{(H8799)} the sacrifices{H2077} of thanksgiving{H8426}, and declare{H5608}{(H8762)} his works{H4639} with rejoicing{H7440}.

They that go down{H3381}{(H8802)} to the sea{H3220} in ships{H591}, that do{H6213}{(H8802)} business{H4399} in great{H7227} waters{H4325};

These see{H7200}{(H8804)} the works{H4639} of the LORD{H3068}, and his wonders{H6381}{(H8737)} in the deep{H4688}.

For he commandeth{H559}{(H8799)}, and raiseth{H5975}{(H8686)} the stormy{H5591} wind{H7307}, which lifteth up{H7311}{(H8787)} the waves{H1530} thereof.

They mount up{H5927}{(H8799)} to the heaven{H8064}, they go down{H3381}{(H8799)} again to the depths{H8415}: their soul{H5315} is melted{H4127}{(H8709)} because of trouble{H7451}.

They reel to and fro{H2287}{(H8799)}, and stagger{H5128}{(H8799)} like a drunken man{H7910}, and are at their wits{H2451}' end{H1104}{(H8691)}.

Then they cry{H6817}{(H8799)} unto the LORD{H3068} in their trouble{H6862}, and he bringeth them out{H3318}{(H8686)} of their distresses{H4691}.

He maketh{H6965}{(H8686)} the storm{H5591} a calm{H1827}, so that the waves{H1530} thereof are still{H2814}{(H8799)}.

Then are they glad{H8055}{(H8799)} because they be quiet{H8367}{(H8799)}; so he bringeth{H5148}{(H8686)} them unto their desired{H2656} haven{H4231}.

Oh that men would praise{H3034}{(H8686)} the LORD{H3068} for his goodness{H2617}, and for his wonderful works{H6381}{(H8737)} to the children{H1121} of men{H120}!

Let them exalt{H7311}{(H8787)} him also in the congregation{H6951} of the people{H5971}, and praise{H1984}{(H8762)} him in the assembly{H4186} of the elders{H2205}.

He turneth{H7760}{(H8799)} rivers{H5104} into a wilderness{H4057}, and the watersprings{H4325}{H4161} into dry ground{H6774};

A fruitful{H6529} land{H776} into barrenness{H4420}, for the wickedness{H7451} of them that dwell{H3427}{(H8802)} therein.

He turneth{H7760}{(H8799)} the wilderness{H4057} into a standing{H98} water{H4325}, and dry{H6723} ground{H776} into watersprings{H4325}{H4161}.

And there he maketh the hungry{H7457} to dwell{H3427}{(H8686)}, that they may prepare{H3559}{(H8787)} a city{H5892} for habitation{H4186};

And sow{H2232}{(H8799)} the fields{H7704}, and plant{H5193}{(H8799)} vineyards{H3754}, which may yield{H6213}{(H8799)} fruits{H6529} of increase{H8393}.

He blesseth{H1288}{(H8762)} them also, so that they are multiplied{H7235}{(H8799)} greatly{H3966}; and suffereth{H4591} not their cattle{H929} to decrease{H4591}{(H8686)}.

Again, they are minished{H4591}{(H8799)} and brought low{H7817}{(H8799)} through oppression{H6115}, affliction{H7451}, and sorrow{H3015}.

He poureth{H8210}{(H8802)} contempt{H937} upon princes{H5081}, and causeth them to wander{H8582}{(H8686)} in the wilderness{H8414}, where there is no way{H1870}.

Yet setteth he the poor{H34} on high{H7682}{(H8762)} from affliction{H6040}, and maketh{H7760}{(H8799)} him families{H4940} like a flock{H6629}.

The righteous{H3477} shall see{H7200}{(H8799)} it, and rejoice{H8055}{(H8799)}: and all iniquity{H5766} shall stop{H7092}{(H8804)} her mouth{H6310}.

Whoso is wise{H2450}, and will observe{H8104}{(H8799)} these things, even they shall understand{H995}{(H8709)} the lovingkindness{H2617} of the LORD{H3068}.
