1Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good;
2Let the redeemed of the LORD say so,
3and gathered from the lands,
4Some wandered in desert wastelands,
5They were hungry and thirsty;
6Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,
7He led them on a straight path
8Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion
9For He satisfies the thirsty
10Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
11because they rebelled against the words of God
12He humbled their hearts with hard labor;
13Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,
14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death
15Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion
16For He has broken down the gates of bronze
17Fools, in their rebellious ways,
18They loathed all food
19Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,
20He sent forth His word and healed them;
21Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion
22Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving
23Others went out to sea in ships,
24They saw the works of the LORD,
25For He spoke and raised a tempest
26They mounted up to the heavens, then sunk to the depths;
27They reeled and staggered like drunkards,
28Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,
29He calmed the storm to a whisper,
30They rejoiced in the silence,
31Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion
32Let them exalt Him in the assembly of the people
33He turns rivers into deserts,
34and fruitful land into fields of salt,
35He turns a desert into pools of water
36He causes the hungry to settle there,
37They sow fields and plant vineyards
38He blesses them, and they multiply greatly;
39When they are decreased and humbled
40He pours out contempt on the nobles
41But He lifts the needy from affliction
42The upright see and rejoice,
43Let him who is wise pay heed to these things
