1	O give thanks# unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
			2	Let the redeemed# of the LORD say# so , whom he hath redeemed# from the hand of the enemy;
			3	And gathered# them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. [south: Heb. sea]
			4	They wandered# in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found# no city to dwell in.
			5	Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted# in them.
			6	Then they cried# unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered# them out of their distresses.
			7	And he led them forth# by the right way, that they might go# to a city of habitation.
			8	Oh that men would praise# the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works# to the children of men!
			9	For he satisfieth# the longing# soul, and filleth# the hungry soul with goodness.
			10	Such as sit# in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
			11	Because they rebelled# against the words of God, and contemned# the counsel of the most High:
			12	Therefore he brought down# their heart with labour; they fell down# , and there was none to help# .
			13	Then they cried# unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved# them out of their distresses.
			14	He brought them out# of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake# their bands in sunder# .
			15	Oh that men would praise# the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works# to the children of men!
			16	For he hath broken# the gates of brass, and cut# the bars of iron in sunder# .
			17	Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted# .
			18	Their soul abhorreth# all manner of meat; and they draw near# unto the gates of death.
			19	Then they cry# unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth# them out of their distresses.
			20	He sent# his word, and healed# them, and delivered# them from their destructions.
			21	Oh that men would praise# the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works# to the children of men!
			22	And let them sacrifice# the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare# his works with rejoicing. [rejoicing: Heb. singing]
			23	They that go down# to the sea in ships, that do# business in great waters;
			24	These see# the works of the LORD, and his wonders# in the deep.
			25	For he commandeth# , and raiseth# the stormy wind, which lifteth up# the waves thereof. [raiseth: Heb. maketh to stand]
			26	They mount up# to the heaven, they go down# again to the depths: their soul is melted# because of trouble.
			27	They reel to and fro# , and stagger# like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end# . [are...: Heb. all their wisdom is swallowed up]
			28	Then they cry# unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out# of their distresses.
			29	He maketh# the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still# .
			30	Then are they glad# because they be quiet# ; so he bringeth# them unto their desired haven.
			31	Oh that men would praise# the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works# to the children of men!
			32	Let them exalt# him also in the congregation of the people, and praise# him in the assembly of the elders.
			33	He turneth# rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings# into dry ground;
			34	A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell# therein. [barrenness: Heb. saltiness]
			35	He turneth# the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings# .
			36	And there he maketh the hungry to dwell# , that they may prepare# a city for habitation;
			37	And sow# the fields, and plant# vineyards, which may yield# fruits of increase.
			38	He blesseth# them also, so that they are multiplied# greatly; and suffereth# not their cattle to decrease# .
			39	Again, they are minished# and brought low# through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
			40	He poureth# contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander# in the wilderness, where there is no way. [wilderness: or, void place]
			41	Yet setteth he the poor on high# from affliction, and maketh# him families like a flock. [from: or, after]
			42	The righteous shall see# it , and rejoice# : and all iniquity shall stop# her mouth.
			43	Whoso is wise, and will observe# these things , even they shall understand# the lovingkindness of the LORD.
