| 1 | Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. |
| 2 | Let them say so that have been redeemed by the Lord, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy: and gathered out of the countries. |
| 3 | From the rising and the setting of the sun, from the north and from the sea. |
| 4 | They wandered in a wilderness, in a place without water: they found not the way of a city for their habitation. |
| 5 | They were hungry and thirsty: their soul fainted in them. |
| 6 | And they cried to the Lord in their tribulation: and he delivered them out of their distresses. |
| 7 | And he led them into the right way: that they might go to a city of habitation. |
| 8 | Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men. |
| 9 | For he hath satisfied the empty soul, and hath filled the hungry soul with good things. |
| 10 | Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death: bound in want and in iron. |
| 11 | Because they had exasperated the words of God: and provoked the counsel of the most High: |
| 12 | And their heart was humbled with labours: they were weakened, and their was none to help them. |
| 13 | Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses. |
| 14 | And he brought them out of darkness, and the shadow of death; and broke their bonds in sunder. |
| 15 | Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men. |
| 16 | Because he hath broken gates of brass, and burst the iron bars. |
| 17 | He took them out of the way of their iniquity: for they were brought low for their injustices. |
| 18 | Their soul abhorred all manner of meat: and they drew nigh even to the gates of death. |
| 19 | And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses. |
| 20 | He sent his word, and healed them: and delivered them from their destructions. |
| 21 | Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men. |
| 22 | And let them sacrifice the sacrifice of praise: and declare his works with joy. |
| 23 | They that go down to the sea in ships, doing business in the great waters: |
| 24 | These have seen the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. |
| 25 | He said the word, and there arose a storm of wind: and the waves thereof were lifted up. |
| 26 | They mount up to the heavens, and they go down to the depths: their soul pined away with evils. |
| 27 | They were troubled, and reeled like a drunken man; and all their wisdom was swallowed up. |
| 28 | And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he brought them out of their distresses. |
| 29 | And he turned the storm into a breeze: and its waves were still. |
| 30 | And they rejoiced because they were still: and he brought them to the haven which they wished for. |
| 31 | Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men. |
| 32 | And let them exalt him in the church of the people: and praise him in the chair of the ancients. |
| 33 | He hath turned rivers into a wilderness: and the sources of water into dry ground: |
| 34 | A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. |
| 35 | He hath turned a wilderness into pools of water, and a dry land into water springs. |
| 36 | And hath placed there the hungry; and they made a city for their habitation. |
| 37 | And they sowed fields, and planted vineyards: and they yielded fruit of birth. |
| 38 | And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly: and their cattle he suffered not to decrease. |
| 39 | Then they were brought to be few: and they were afflicted through the trouble of evils and sorrow. |
| 40 | Contempt was poured forth upon their princes: and he caused them to wander where there was no passing, and out of the way. |
| 41 | And he helped the poor out of poverty: and made him families like a flock of sheep. |
| 42 | The just shall see, and shall rejoice, and all iniquity shall stop their mouth. |
| 43 | Who is wise, and will keep these things: and will understand the mercies of the Lord? |
