1Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His gracious love exists forever.1Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
2Let those who have been redeemed by the LORD declare it— those whom he redeemed from the power of the enemy,2Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary
3those whom he gathered from other lands— from the east, west, north, and south. 3And gathered from the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.
4They wandered in desolate wilderness; they found no road to a city where they could live.4They wandered in the wilderness in a desert region; They did not find a way to an inhabited city.
5Hungry and thirsty, their spirits failed.5They were hungry and thirsty; Their soul fainted within them.
6Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.6Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; He delivered them out of their distresses.
7He led them in a straight way to find a city where they could live.7He led them also by a straight way, To go to an inhabited city.
8Let them give thanks to the LORD for his gracious love and his awesome deeds for mankind.8Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!
9He has satisfied the one who thirsts, filling the hungry with what is good.9For He has satisfied the thirsty soul, And the hungry soul He has filled with what is good.
10Some sat in deepest darkness, shackled with cruel iron,10There were those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death, Prisoners in misery and chains,
11because they had rebelled against the command of God, despising the advice of the Most High.11Because they had rebelled against the words of God And spurned the counsel of the Most High.
12He humbled them through suffering, as they stumbled without a helper.12Therefore He humbled their heart with labor; They stumbled and there was none to help.
13Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; he delivered them from their distress.13Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses.
14And he brought them out from darkness and the shadow of death, shattering their chains.14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death And broke their bands apart.
15Let them give thanks to the LORD for his gracious love, and for his awesome deeds to mankind.15Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!
16For he shattered bronze gates and cut through iron bars.16For He has shattered gates of bronze And cut bars of iron asunder.
17Because of their rebellious ways, fools suffered for their iniquities.17Fools, because of their rebellious way, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.
18They loathed all food, and even reached the gates of death.18Their soul abhorred all kinds of food, And they drew near to the gates of death.
19Yet when they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, he delivered them from certain destruction.19Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses.
20He issued his command and healed them; he delivered them from their destruction.20He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.
21Let them give thanks to the LORD for his gracious love, and for his awesome deeds for mankind.21Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!
22Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and talk about his works with shouts of joy.22Let them also offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, And tell of His works with joyful singing.
23Those who go down to the sea in ships, who work in the great waters,23Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business on great waters;
24witnessed the works of the LORD— his awesome deeds in the ocean's depth.24They have seen the works of the LORD, And His wonders in the deep.
25He spoke and stirred up a windstorm that made its waves surge.25For He spoke and raised up a stormy wind, Which lifted up the waves of the sea.
26The people ascended skyward and descended to the depths, their courage melting away in their peril.26They rose up to the heavens, they went down to the depths; Their soul melted away in their misery.
27They reeled and staggered like a drunkard, as all their wisdom became useless.27They reeled and staggered like a drunken man, And were at their wits' end.
28Yet when they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, the LORD brought them out of their distress.28Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, And He brought them out of their distresses.
29He calmed the storm and its waves quieted down.29He caused the storm to be still, So that the waves of the sea were hushed.
30So they rejoiced that the waves became quiet, and he led them to their desired haven.30Then they were glad because they were quiet, So He guided them to their desired haven.
31Let them give thanks to the LORD for his gracious love and for his awesome deeds on behalf of mankind.31Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!
32Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people and praise him in the counsel of the elders.32Let them extol Him also in the congregation of the people, And praise Him at the seat of the elders.
33He turns rivers into a desert, springs of water into dry ground,33He changes rivers into a wilderness And springs of water into a thirsty ground;
34and a fruitful land into a salty waste, due to the wickedness of its inhabitants.34A fruitful land into a salt waste, Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
35He turns a desert into a pool of water, dry land into springs of water.35He changes a wilderness into a pool of water And a dry land into springs of water;
36There he settled the hungry, where they built a city to live in.36And there He makes the hungry to dwell, So that they may establish an inhabited city,
37They sowed fields and planted vineyards that yielded a productive harvest.37And sow fields and plant vineyards, And gather a fruitful harvest.
38Then he blessed them, and they became numerous; he multiplied their cattle. 38Also He blesses them and they multiply greatly, And He does not let their cattle decrease.
39But they became few in number, and humiliated by continued oppression, agony, and sorrow.39When they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, misery and sorrow,
40Having poured contempt on their nobles, causing them to err aimlessly in the way.40He pours contempt upon princes And makes them wander in a pathless waste.
41Yet he lifted the needy from affliction and made them families like a flock.41But He sets the needy securely on high away from affliction, And makes his families like a flock.
42The upright see it and rejoice, but the mouth of an evil person is shut.42The upright see it and are glad; But all unrighteousness shuts its mouth.
43Let whoever is wise observe these things, that they may comprehend the gracious love of the LORD.43Who is wise? Let him give heed to these things, And consider the lovingkindnesses of the LORD.
