1O give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;
2Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so,
3And gathered out of the lands,
4They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way;
5Hungry and thirsty,
6Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble,
7He led them also by a straight way,
8Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,
9For he satisfieth the longing soul,
10Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
11Because they rebelled against the words of God,
12Therefore he brought down their heart with labor;
13Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble,
14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
15Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,
16For he hath broken the gates of brass,
17Fools because of their transgression,
18Their soul abhorreth all manner of food;
19Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble,
20He sendeth his word, and healeth them,
21Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,
22And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving,
23They that go down to the sea in ships,
24These see the works of Jehovah,
25For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind,
26They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths:
27They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,
28Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble,
29He maketh the storm a calm,
30Then are they glad because they are quiet;
31Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,
32Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people,
33He turneth rivers into a wilderness,
34A fruitful land into a salt desert,
35He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water,
36And there he maketh the hungry to dwell,
37And sow fields, and plant vineyards,
38He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly;
39Again, they are diminished and bowed down
40He poureth contempt upon princes,
41Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction,
42The upright shall see it, and be glad;
43Whoso is wise will give heed to these things;
