1O give thanks unto Yahweh; for he is good; For his lovingkindness [endureth] forever.
2Let the redeemed of Yahweh say [so],
3And gathered out of the lands,
4They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; They found no city of habitation.
5Hungry and thirsty,
6Then they cried unto Yahweh in their trouble,
7He led them also by a straight way,
8Oh that men would praise Yahweh for his lovingkindness,
9For he satisfieth the longing soul,
10Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
11Because they rebelled against the words of God,
12Therefore he brought down their heart with labor; They fell down, and there was none to help.
13Then they cried unto Yahweh in their trouble,
14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
15Oh that men would praise Yahweh for his lovingkindness,
16For he hath broken the gates of brass,
17Fools because of their transgression,
18Their soul abhorreth all manner of food; And they draw near unto the gates of death.
19Then they cry unto Yahweh in their trouble,
20He sendeth his word, and healeth them,
21Oh that men would praise Yahweh for his lovingkindness,
22And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving,
23They that go down to the sea in ships,
24These see the works of Yahweh,
25For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind,
26They mountain up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths:
27They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,
28Then they cry unto Yahweh in their trouble,
29He maketh the storm a calm,
30Then are they glad because they are quiet; So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
31Oh that men would praise Yahweh for his lovingkindness,
32Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people,
33He turneth rivers into a wilderness,
34A fruitful land into a salt desert,
35He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water,
36And there he maketh the hungry to dwell,
37And sow fields, and plant vineyards,
38He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; And he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39Again, they are diminished and bowed down
40He poureth contempt upon princes,
41Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction,
42The upright shall see it, and be glad; And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43Whoso is wise will give heed to these things; And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Yahweh.
