1. Confesse you [it] vnto God: for he is gratious, and his mercy endureth for euer.
2. Let such as God did redeme speake: whom he hath redeemed from the hande of the enemie.
3. And whom he gathered out of the landes: from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
4. They went astray out of the way in solitarines [and] in wildernes, and found no citie to dwell in:
5. they were hungry and thirstie, their soule fainted in them.
6. And they cry vnto god in their trouble: who deliuereth them from their distresse.
7. And he leadeth them foorth by the right way: that they might go to the citie inhabited.
8. O that men would confesse vnto God his louyng kindnesse: and his marueylous actes [done] to the chyldren of men.
9. For he satisfieth the greedie soule: and filleth the hungry soule with goodnes.
10. Suche as sit in darknesse and in the shadowe of death: beyng fast bounde in miserie and iron.
11. Because they went from the wordes of the Lorde: and lightly regarded the counsayle of the most highest.
12. Therfore he humbled their heart thorowe heauines: they fall downe, and there is none to helpe them.
13. And they cry vnto god in their trouble: who deliuereth the out of their distresse.
14. For he bringeth them out of darknesse and out of the shadowe of death: and breaketh their bondes in sunder.
15. O that men would confesse vnto God: his louing kindnes and his marueylous actes [done] to the chyldren of men.
16. For he breaketh the gates of brasse: & smyteth the barres of iron in sunder.
17. Foolish men are plagued for their mischeuous wayes: & for their wickednes.
18. Their soule abhorreth all maner of meate: and they be euen harde at deathes doore.
19. And they crye vnto God in their trouble: who deliuereth them out of their distresse.
20. he sendeth his worde & healeth them: and he maketh them to scape safe from their corruptnes.
21. O that men would confesse vnto God: his louing kindnes and his marueylous actes [done] to the chyldren of men.
22. And that they would offer [vnto him] sacrifices of thankes geuing: and set foorth in wordes his workes with a ioyfull noyse.
23. Such as go downe to the sea in ships and folowe their busines in great waters:
24. they see the workes of God, and his wonders in the deepe.
25. For he commaundeth and causeth a stormie winde to arise: and he lifteth vp on high his waues.
26. [Then] they ascende vp to heauen, and come downe agayne to the deepe: so that their soule melteth away through trouble.
27. They reele to and fro, and they do stacker like a drunken man: and their wysdome fayleth them.
28. And they cry vnto god in their trouble: who deliuereth the out of their distresse.
29. For he maketh the storme to ceasse: so that the waues therof are still.
30. Then be they glad because they are at rest: and he bringeth them to the hauen where they woulde be.
31. O that men would confesse vnto god: his louyng kyndnes and meruaylous actes [done] to the chyldren of men.
32. And that they would exalt him in the congregation of the people: and prayse him in the consistorie of the aged.
33. He turneth fluddes into a wildernes: and waterspringes into a drye grounde.
34. He [maketh] a fruitfull grounde barren: for the wickednes of them that dwell therein.
35. [Contrary] he reduceth a wyldernes into a standing water: and a drye ground into water springes.
36. And he setteth there the hungry: and they buylde them a citie to dwell in.
37. And they sowe their lande and plant vineyardes: and they yelde [vnto them] aboundant store of fruites.
38. He blesseth them, so that they multiplie exceedingly: and he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39. But [when they do fall from God,] they are diminished & brought low: through oppression, calamitie, & griefe of minde.
40. He bringeth princes into contempt: & he maketh them to wander in a wildernesse where there is no way at all.
41. Yet he exalteth the poore out of miserie: and geueth him housholdes equall to flockes of cattell.
42. The righteous will marke [this] and reioyce: and the mouth of all wickednesse shalbe stopped.
43. Whosoeuer is wyse, he wyll both obserue these thinges: and also well consider the louing kindnesse of God.
