O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

2

Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

WhatsApp Copy

3

And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.

WhatsApp Copy

4

They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.

WhatsApp Copy

5

Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

WhatsApp Copy

6

Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

WhatsApp Copy

7

And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

WhatsApp Copy

8

Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

WhatsApp Copy

9

For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

WhatsApp Copy

10

Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;

WhatsApp Copy

11

Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:

WhatsApp Copy

12

Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.

WhatsApp Copy

13

Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.

WhatsApp Copy

14

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.

WhatsApp Copy

15

Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

WhatsApp Copy

16

For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

WhatsApp Copy

17

Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

WhatsApp Copy

18

Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.

WhatsApp Copy

19

Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.

WhatsApp Copy

20

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

WhatsApp Copy

21

Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

WhatsApp Copy

22

And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.

WhatsApp Copy

23

They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;

WhatsApp Copy

24

These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.

WhatsApp Copy

25

For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.

WhatsApp Copy

26

They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

WhatsApp Copy

27

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end.

WhatsApp Copy

28

Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.

WhatsApp Copy

29

He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

WhatsApp Copy

30

Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

WhatsApp Copy

31

Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

WhatsApp Copy

32

Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

WhatsApp Copy

33

He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;

WhatsApp Copy

34

A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

WhatsApp Copy

35

He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.

WhatsApp Copy

36

And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;

WhatsApp Copy

37

And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.

WhatsApp Copy

38

He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

WhatsApp Copy

39

Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

WhatsApp Copy

40

He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.

WhatsApp Copy

41

Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.

WhatsApp Copy

42

The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

WhatsApp Copy

43

Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
