1O give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
1Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his faithful love lasts forever.
2Let the redeemed of Jehovah sayso, Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
2Let the people the LORD has rescued speak out—those he saved from the power of the enemy,
3And gathered out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.
3and gathered from many lands, from the east and west, from the north and south.
4They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; They found no city of habitation.

6Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distresses,

10Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron,
10Some sat in darkness and deepest shadow, prisoners suffering in iron chains.
11Because they rebelled against the words of God, And contemned the counsel of the Most High:
11This was because they rebelled against God’s words and rejected the advice of the Most High.
12Therefore he brought down their heart with labor; They fell down, and there was none to help.

17Fools because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
17Some were fools; they suffered because of their rebellious ways and their sins.
18Their soul abhorreth all manner of food; And they draw near unto the gates of death.

23They that go down to the sea in ships, That do business in great waters;

25For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, Which lifteth up the waves thereof.
25He spoke and stirred up a storm that blew up high waves.
26They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths: Their soul melteth away because of trouble.

30They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to the harbor they wanted.
31Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

34A fruitful land into a salt desert, For the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

40He poureth contempt upon princes, And causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.
