1O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.studyinterlinear
2Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;studyinterlinear
3And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.studyinterlinear
4They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.studyinterlinear
5Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.studyinterlinear
6Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.studyinterlinear
7And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.studyinterlinear
8Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!studyinterlinear
9For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.studyinterlinear
10Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;studyinterlinear
11Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:studyinterlinear
12Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.studyinterlinear
13Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.studyinterlinear
14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.studyinterlinear
15Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!studyinterlinear
16For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.studyinterlinear
17Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.studyinterlinear
18Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.studyinterlinear
19Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.studyinterlinear
20He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.studyinterlinear
21Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!studyinterlinear
22And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.studyinterlinear
23They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;studyinterlinear
24These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.studyinterlinear
25For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.studyinterlinear
26They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.studyinterlinear
27They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.studyinterlinear
28Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.studyinterlinear
29He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.studyinterlinear
30Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.studyinterlinear
31Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!studyinterlinear
32Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.studyinterlinear
33He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;studyinterlinear
34A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.studyinterlinear
35He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.studyinterlinear
36And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;studyinterlinear
37And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.studyinterlinear
38He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.studyinterlinear
39Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.studyinterlinear
40He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.studyinterlinear
41Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.studyinterlinear
42The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.studyinterlinear
43Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.studyinterlinear
