1`Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age <FI>is<Fi> His kindness:'
1O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2Let the redeemed of Jehovah say, Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary.
2Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3And from the lands hath gathered them, From east and from west, From north, and from the sea.
3And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
4They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, A city of habitation they have not found.
4They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
5Hungry--yea--thirsty, Their soul in them becometh feeble,
5Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distress He delivereth them,
6Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7And causeth them to tread in a right way, To go unto a city of habitation.
7And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
8Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9For He hath satisfied a longing soul, And a hungry soul hath filled <FI>with<Fi> goodness.
9For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
10Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of affliction and of iron,
10Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
11Because they changed the saying of God, And the counsel of the Most High despised.
11Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
12And He humbleth with labour their heart, They have been feeble, and there is no helper.
12Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
13And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them.
13Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
14He bringeth them out from the dark place, And death-shade, And their bands He draweth away.
14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
15They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
15Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
16For He hath broken doors of brass, And bars of iron He hath cut.
16For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
17Fools, by means of their transgression, And by their iniquities, afflict themselves.
17Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
18All food doth their soul abominate, And they come nigh unto the gates of death,
18Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
19And cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them,
19Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.
20He sendeth His word and healeth them, And delivereth from their destructions.
20He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
21They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
21Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
22And they sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving, And recount His works with singing.
22And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
23Those going down <FI>to<Fi> the sea in ships, Doing business in many waters,
23They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
24They have seen the works of Jehovah, And His wonders in the deep.
24These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.
25And He saith, and appointeth a tempest, And it lifteth up its billows,
25For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
26They go up <FI>to<Fi> the heavens, they go down <FI>to<Fi> the depths, Their soul in evil is melted.
26They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
27They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.
27They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.
28And they cry to Jehovah in their adversity, And from their distresses He bringeth them out.
28Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
29He establisheth a whirlwind to a calm, And hushed are their billows.
29He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
30And they rejoice because they are quiet, And He leadeth them to the haven of their desire.
30Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
31They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
31Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
32And they exalt Him in the assembly of the people, And in the seat of the elders praise Him.
32Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33He maketh rivers become a wilderness, And fountains of waters become dry land.
33He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;
34A fruitful land becometh a barren place, For the wickedness of its inhabitants.
34A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35He maketh a wilderness become a pool of water, And a dry land become fountains of waters.
35He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.
36And He causeth the hungry to dwell there, And they prepare a city of habitation.
36And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
37And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, And they make fruits of increase.
37And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
38And He blesseth them, and they multiply exceedingly, And their cattle He doth not diminish.
38He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39And they are diminished, and bow down, By restraint, evil, and sorrow.
39Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
40He is pouring contempt upon nobles, And causeth them to wander in vacancy--no way.
40He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
41And setteth on high the needy from affliction, And placeth families as a flock.
41Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.
