- 1. `Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age `is' His kindness:'
- 2. Let the redeemed of Jehovah say, Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary.
- 3. And from the lands hath gathered them, From east and from west, From north, and from the sea.
- 4. They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, A city of habitation they have not found.
- 5. Hungry -- yea -- thirsty, Their soul in them becometh feeble,
- 6. And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distress He delivereth them,
- 7. And causeth them to tread in a right way, To go unto a city of habitation.
- 8. They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
- 9. For He hath satisfied a longing soul, And a hungry soul hath filled `with' goodness.
- 10. Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of affliction and of iron,
- 11. Because they changed the saying of God, And the counsel of the Most High despised.
- 12. And He humbleth with labour their heart, They have been feeble, and there is no helper.
- 13. And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them.
- 14. He bringeth them out from the dark place, And death-shade, And their bands He draweth away.
- 15. They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
- 16. For He hath broken doors of brass, And bars of iron He hath cut.
- 17. Fools, by means of their transgression, And by their iniquities, afflict themselves.
- 18. All food doth their soul abominate, And they come nigh unto the gates of death,
- 19. And cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them,
- 20. He sendeth His word and healeth them, And delivereth from their destructions.
- 21. They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
- 22. And they sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving, And recount His works with singing.
- 23. Those going down `to' the sea in ships, Doing business in many waters,
- 24. They have seen the works of Jehovah, And His wonders in the deep.
- 25. And He saith, and appointeth a tempest, And it lifteth up its billows,
- 26. They go up `to' the heavens, they go down `to' the depths, Their soul in evil is melted.
- 27. They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.
- 28. And they cry to Jehovah in their adversity, And from their distresses He bringeth them out.
- 29. He establisheth a whirlwind to a calm, And hushed are their billows.
- 30. And they rejoice because they are quiet, And He leadeth them to the haven of their desire.
- 31. They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
- 32. And they exalt Him in the assembly of the people, And in the seat of the elders praise Him.
- 33. He maketh rivers become a wilderness, And fountains of waters become dry land.
- 34. A fruitful land becometh a barren place, For the wickedness of its inhabitants.
- 35. He maketh a wilderness become a pool of water, And a dry land become fountains of waters.
- 36. And He causeth the hungry to dwell there, And they prepare a city of habitation.
- 37. And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, And they make fruits of increase.
- 38. And He blesseth them, and they multiply exceedingly, And their cattle He doth not diminish.
- 39. And they are diminished, and bow down, By restraint, evil, and sorrow.
- 40. He is pouring contempt upon nobles, And causeth them to wander in vacancy -- no way.
- 41. And setteth on high the needy from affliction, And placeth families as a flock.
- 42. The upright do see and rejoice, And all perversity hath shut her mouth.
- 43. Who `is' wise, and observeth these? They understand the kind acts of Jehovah!
