* O give thanks unto the LORD , for [he is ] good ; for his mercy [endures ] for ever . * Let the redeemed of the LORD say [so ], whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy * and gathered them out of the lands , from the east and from the west , from the north and from the south . * They wandered lost in the wilderness , [alone and out of the ] way ; they found no city to dwell in . * Hungry and thirsty , their soul fainted in them . * Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble , [and ] he delivered them out of their distresses . * And he led them forth by the right way , that they might go to a city of habitation . * Oh that [men ] would praise the LORD [for ] his mercy and [for ] his wonderful works unto the sons of Adam ! * For he satisfies the soul that is destitute and fills the hungry soul with goodness . * Such as sat in darkness and [in the ] shadow of death , [being ] bound in affliction and in irons , * because they rebelled against the words of God and condemned the counsel of the most High : * Therefore he brought down their heart with labour ; they fell down , and [there was ] no one to help . * Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble , [and ] he saved them out of their distresses . * He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death and broke their bonds asunder . * Oh that [men ] would praise the LORD [for ] his mercy and [for ] his wonderful works unto the sons of Adam ! * For he has broken the gates of brass and cut the bars of iron asunder . * The fools , because of the way of their rebellion , and because of their iniquities , were afflicted . * Their soul abhorred all manner of food , and they drew near unto the gates of death . * Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble , [and ] he saved them out of their distresses . * He sent his word and healed them and delivered [them ] from their graves . * Oh that [men ] would praise the LORD [for ] his mercy and [for ] his wonderful works unto the sons of Adam ! * And let them offer the sacrifices of praise and publish his works with singing . * Those that go down to the sea in ships that do work in many waters , * these have seen the works of the LORD and his wonders in the deep . * For he commands and raises the stormy wind , which lifts up its waves . * They mount up to the heavens ; they go down again to the depths ; their soul is melted because of trouble . * They reel to and fro and stagger like a drunken man , and all of their knowledge is of no avail . * Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble , and he delivers them out of their afflictions . * He makes the storm a calm , so that its waves are still . * Then they are glad because they are at rest ; so he brings them into the haven of his will . * Oh that [men ] would praise the LORD [for ] his mercy and [for ] his wonderful works unto the sons of Adam ! * Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people and praise him in the assembly of the elders . * He turned rivers into a wilderness and the watersprings into dry ground ; * the fruitful land into salt [flats ], because of the wickedness of those that dwell therein . * He turns the wilderness into reservoirs of water and dry ground into watersprings . * And there he makes the hungry to dwell , that they may prepare a city for habitation * and sow the fields and plant vineyards , which may yield fruits of increase . * He blesses them also , so that they are multiplied greatly and suffers not their cattle to decrease . * Again , they are diminished and brought low through oppression , affliction , and sorrow . * He pours contempt upon princes and causes them to wander in the wilderness , [where there is ] no way . * Yet he sets the poor on high from affliction and makes [his ] families like a flock . * The righteous shall see [it ] and rejoice , and all iniquity shall stop her mouth . * Who [is ] wise and will observe these [things ] and shall understand the mercies of the LORD ?:
