1Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever. ✦ 2Let the redeemed by Yahweh say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary, ✦ 3And gathered out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south. ✦ 4They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way. They found no city to live in. ✦ 5Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. ✦ 6Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses, ✦ 7he led them also by a straight way, that they might go to a city to live in. ✦ 8Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men! ✦ 9For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good. ✦ 10Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron, ✦ 11because they rebelled against the words of God, and condemned the counsel of the Most High. ✦ 12Therefore he brought down their heart with labor. They fell down, and there was no one to help. ✦ 13Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. ✦ 14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke away their chains. ✦ 15Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men! ✦ 16For he has broken the gates of brass, and cut through bars of iron. ✦ 17Fools are afflicted because of their disobedience, and because of their iniquities. ✦ 18Their soul abhors all kinds of food. They draw near to the gates of death. ✦ 19Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, he saves them out of their distresses. ✦ 20He sends his word, and heals them, and delivers them from their graves. ✦ 21Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men! ✦ 22Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his deeds with singing. ✦ 23Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business in great waters; ✦ 24These see Yahweh’s deeds, and his wonders in the deep. ✦ 25For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up its waves. ✦ 26They mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths. Their soul melts away because of trouble. ✦ 27They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end. ✦ 28Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, and he brings them out of their distress. ✦ 29He makes the storm a calm, so that its waves are still. ✦ 30Then they are glad because it is calm, so he brings them to their desired haven. ✦ 31Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds for the children of men! ✦ 32Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, and praise him in the seat of the elders. ✦ 33He turns rivers into a desert, water springs into a thirsty ground, ✦ 34and a fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of those who dwell in it. ✦ 35He turns a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into water springs. ✦ 36There he makes the hungry live, that they may prepare a city to live in, ✦ 37sow fields, plant vineyards, and reap the fruits of increase. ✦ 38He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly. He doesn’t allow their livestock to decrease. ✦ 39Again, they are diminished and bowed down through oppression, trouble, and sorrow. ✦ 40He pours contempt on princes, and causes them to wander in a trackless waste. ✦ 41Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction, and increases their families like a flock. ✦ 42The upright will see it, and be glad. All the wicked will shut their mouths. ✦ 43Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things. They will consider the loving kindnesses of Yahweh. ✦
