1. Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Images | |
2. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy, | |
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 desolate way; They found no city to dwell in. | |
5. Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them. | |
6. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, And He delivered them out of their distresses. | |
7. And He led them forth by the right way, That they might go to a city for a dwelling place. | |
8. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! | |
9. For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness. | |
10. Those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Bound in affliction and irons-- | |
11. Because they rebelled against the words of God, And despised 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 out to the Lord 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 chains in pieces. | |
15. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! | |
16. For He has broken the gates of bronze, And cut the bars of iron in two. | |
17. Fools, because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted. | |
18. Their soul abhorred all manner of food, And they drew near to the gates of death. | |
19. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, And He saved them out of their distresses. | |
20. He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions. | |
21. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! | |
22. Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare His works with rejoicing. | |
23. Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business on great waters, | |
24. They see the works of the Lord, And His wonders in the deep. | |
25. For He commands and raises the stormy wind, Which lifts up the waves of the sea. | |
26. They mount up to the heavens, They go down again to the depths; Their soul melts 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 out to the Lord in their trouble, And He brings them out of their distresses. | |
29. He calms the storm, So that its waves are still. | |
30. Then they are glad because they are quiet; So He guides them to their desired haven. | |
31. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, 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 company of the elders. | |
33. He turns rivers into a wilderness, And the watersprings into dry ground; | |
34. A fruitful land into barrenness, For the wickedness of those who dwell in it. | |
35. He turns a wilderness into pools of water, And dry land into watersprings. | |
36. There He makes the hungry dwell, That they may establish a city for a dwelling place, | |
37. And sow fields and plant vineyards, That they may yield a fruitful harvest. | |
38. He also blesses them, and they multiply greatly; And He does not let their cattle decrease. | |
39. When they are diminished and brought low Through oppression, affliction and sorrow, | |
40. He pours contempt on princes, And causes them to wander in the wilderness where there is no way; | |
41. Yet He sets the poor on high, far from affliction, And makes their families like a flock. | |
42. The righteous see it and rejoice, And all iniquity stops its mouth. | |
43. Whoever is wise will observe these things, And they will understand the lovingkindness of the Lord. |
