Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good,
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

He sent His word and healed them,
And delivered them from their destructions.

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary

Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness,
And for His wonders to the sons of men!

For He has satisfied the thirsty soul,
And the hungry soul He has filled with what is good.

Those who go down to the sea in ships,
Who do business on great waters;

Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble;
He saved them out of their distresses.

There were those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death,
Prisoners in misery and chains,

Fools, because of their rebellious way,
And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.

He caused the storm to be still,
So that the waves of the sea were hushed.

Who is wise? Let him give heed to these things,
And consider the lovingkindnesses of the Lord.

He changes rivers into a wilderness
And springs of water into a thirsty ground;

Let them also offer sacrifices of thanksgiving,
And tell of His works with joyful singing.

Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
And He brought them out of their distresses.

For He spoke and raised up a stormy wind,
Which lifted up the waves of the sea.

Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble;
He delivered them out of their distresses.

They wandered in the wilderness in a desert region;
They did not find a way to an inhabited city.

He changes a wilderness into a pool of water
And a dry land into springs of water;

But He sets the needy securely on high away from affliction,
And makes his families like a flock.

Let them extol Him also in the congregation of the people,
And praise Him at the seat of the elders.

And gathered from the lands,
From the east and from the west,
From the north and from the south.

For He has shattered gates of bronze
And cut bars of iron asunder.

Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble;
He saved them out of their distresses.

A fruitful land into a salt waste,
Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it.

He led them also by a straight way,
To go to an inhabited city.

Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness,
And for His wonders to the sons of men!

Then they were glad because they were quiet,
So He guided them to their desired haven.

He pours contempt upon princes
And makes them wander in a pathless waste.

Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness,
And for His wonders to the sons of men!

They reeled and staggered like a drunken man,
And were at their wits’ end.

Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness,
And for His wonders to the sons of men!

Because they had rebelled against the words of God
And spurned the counsel of the Most High.

The upright see it and are glad;
But all unrighteousness shuts its mouth.

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death
And broke their bands apart.

They were hungry and thirsty;
Their soul fainted within them.

Their soul abhorred all kinds of food,
And they drew near to the gates of death.

Also He blesses them and they multiply greatly,
And He does not let their cattle decrease.

When they are diminished and bowed down
Through oppression, misery and sorrow,

They rose up to the heavens, they went down to the depths;
Their soul melted away in their misery.

And sow fields and plant vineyards,
And gather a fruitful harvest.

Therefore He humbled their heart with labor;
They stumbled and there was none to help.

And there He makes the hungry to dwell,
So that they may establish an inhabited city,

They have seen the works of the Lord,
And His wonders in the deep.
