1
Oh, a give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
2
Let the redeemed of the LORD say so,
Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,
3
And b gathered out of the lands,
From the east and from the west,
From the north and from the south.
4
They wandered in c the wilderness in a desolate way;
They found no city to dwell in.
5
Hungry and thirsty,
Their soul fainted in them.
6
d Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,
And He delivered them out of their distresses.
7
And He led them forth by the e right way,
That they might go to a city for a dwelling place.
8
f Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
9
For g He satisfies the longing soul,
And fills the hungry soul with goodness.
10
Those who h sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
i Bound in affliction and irons -
11
Because they j rebelled against the words of God,
And despised k the counsel of the Most High,
12
Therefore He brought down their heart with labor;
They fell down, and there was l none to help.
13
Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses.
14
m He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
And broke their chains in pieces.
15
Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
16
For He has n broken the gates of bronze,
And cut the bars of iron in two.
17
Fools, o because of their transgression,
And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.
18
p Their soul abhorred all manner of food,
And they q drew near to the gates of death.
19
Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses.
20
r He sent His word and s healed them,
And t delivered them from their destructions.
21
Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
22
u Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving,
And v declare His works with rejoicing.
