1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
[gsn]
[mhcc]
[jfb]
[tsk]
[tod]
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say this-- those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,
[gsn]
[jfb]
[tsk]
3 those he gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south.
[jfb]
[jwc]
[tsk]
4 Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no way to a city where they could settle.
[jfb]
[jwc]
[tsk]
[tod]
5 They were hungry and thirsty, and their lives ebbed away.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[tsk]
6 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.
[jwc]
[tsk]
7 He led them by a straight way to a city where they could settle.
[jwc]
[tsk]
8 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men,
[jfb]
[tsk]
9 for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
[tsk]
10 Some sat in darkness and the deepest gloom, prisoners suffering in iron chains,
[mhcc]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[tsk]
[tod]
11 for they had rebelled against the words of God and despised the counsel of the Most High.
[gsn]
[tsk]
12 So he subjected them to bitter labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help.
[jwc]
[tsk]
13 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.
[gsn]
[tsk]
14 He brought them out of darkness and the deepest gloom and broke away their chains.
[tsk]
15 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men,
[tsk]
16 for he breaks down gates of bronze and cuts through bars of iron.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[tsk]
17 Some became fools through their rebellious ways and suffered affliction because of their iniquities.
[gsn]
[mhcc]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[tsk]
[tod]
18 They loathed all food and drew near the gates of death.
[jfb]
[tsk]
19 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.
[tsk]
20 He sent forth his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[tsk]
21 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men.
[tsk]
22 Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of his works with songs of joy.
[gsn]
[tsk]
23 Others went out on the sea in ships; they were merchants on the mighty waters.
[gsn]
[mhcc]
[jfb]
[tsk]
[tod]
24 They saw the works of the LORD, his wonderful deeds in the deep.
[jfb]
[tsk]
25 For he spoke and stirred up a tempest that lifted high the waves.
[jfb]
[tsk]
26 They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths; in their peril their courage melted away.
[gsn]
[tsk]
27 They reeled and staggered like drunken men; they were at their wits' end.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[tsk]
28 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress.
[tsk]
29 He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed.
[jfb]
[tsk]
30 They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven.
[gsn]
[tsk]
31 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men.
[tsk]
32 Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people and praise him in the council of the elders.
[gsn]
[jwc]
[tsk]
33 He turned rivers into a desert, flowing springs into thirsty ground,
[jfb]
[jwc]
[tsk]
[tod]
34 and fruitful land into a salt waste, because of the wickedness of those who lived there.
[jwc]
[tsk]
35 He turned the desert into pools of water and the parched ground into flowing springs;
[gsn]
[jwc]
[tsk]
36 there he brought the hungry to live, and they founded a city where they could settle.
[jwc]
[tsk]
37 They sowed fields and planted vineyards that yielded a fruitful harvest;
[gsn]
[tsk]
38 he blessed them, and their numbers greatly increased, and he did not let their herds diminish.
[tsk]
39 Then their numbers decreased, and they were humbled by oppression, calamity and sorrow;
[gsn]
[jwc]
[tsk]
40 he who pours contempt on nobles made them wander in a trackless waste.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[tsk]
41 But he lifted the needy out of their affliction and increased their families like flocks.
[tsk]
42 The upright see and rejoice, but all the wicked shut their mouths.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[tsk]
43 Whoever is wise, let him heed these things and consider the great love of the LORD.
[tsk]
[tod]
