- 2. Let the redeemed by Yahweh say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
- 3. And gathered out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.

- 9. For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good.
- 10. Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron,
- 11. because they rebelled against the words of God, and condemned the counsel of the Most High.
- 12. Therefore he brought down their heart with labor. They fell down, and there was none to help.
- 13. Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
- 14. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bonds in sunder.

- 24. These see Yahweh's works, and his wonders in the deep.
- 25. For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up its waves.
- 26. They mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths. Their soul melts away because of trouble.
- 27. They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.
- 28. Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, and he brings them out of their distress.
- 29. He makes the storm a calm, so that its waves are still.

- 34. and a fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
- 35. He turns a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into water springs.
- 36. There he makes the hungry live, that they may prepare a city to live in,
- 37. sow fields, plant vineyards, and reap the fruits of increase.
- 38. He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly. He doesn't allow their livestock to decrease.

- 42. The upright will see it, and be glad. All the wicked will shut their mouths.
- 43. Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things. They will consider the loving kindnesses of Yahweh.
