1Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His gracious love exists forever.1Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!
2Let those who have been redeemed by the LORD declare it— those whom he redeemed from the power of the enemy,2Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble
3those whom he gathered from other lands— from the east, west, north, and south. 3and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
4They wandered in desolate wilderness; they found no road to a city where they could live.4Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in;
5Hungry and thirsty, their spirits failed.5hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them.
6Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.6Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.
7He led them in a straight way to find a city where they could live.7He led them by a straight way till they reached a city to dwell in.
8Let them give thanks to the LORD for his gracious love and his awesome deeds for mankind.8Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!
9He has satisfied the one who thirsts, filling the hungry with what is good.9For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things.
10Some sat in deepest darkness, shackled with cruel iron,10Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and in irons,
11because they had rebelled against the command of God, despising the advice of the Most High.11for they had rebelled against the words of God, and spurned the counsel of the Most High.
12He humbled them through suffering, as they stumbled without a helper.12So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor; they fell down, with none to help.
13Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; he delivered them from their distress.13Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.
14And he brought them out from darkness and the shadow of death, shattering their chains.14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart.
15Let them give thanks to the LORD for his gracious love, and for his awesome deeds to mankind.15Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!
16For he shattered bronze gates and cut through iron bars.16For he shatters the doors of bronze and cuts in two the bars of iron.
17Because of their rebellious ways, fools suffered for their iniquities.17Some were fools through their sinful ways, and because of their iniquities suffered affliction;
18They loathed all food, and even reached the gates of death.18they loathed any kind of food, and they drew near to the gates of death.
19Yet when they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, he delivered them from certain destruction.19Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.
20He issued his command and healed them; he delivered them from their destruction.20He sent out his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction.
21Let them give thanks to the LORD for his gracious love, and for his awesome deeds for mankind.21Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!
22Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and talk about his works with shouts of joy.22And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, and tell of his deeds in songs of joy!
23Those who go down to the sea in ships, who work in the great waters,23Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters;
24witnessed the works of the LORD— his awesome deeds in the ocean's depth.24they saw the deeds of the LORD, his wondrous works in the deep.
25He spoke and stirred up a windstorm that made its waves surge.25For he commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea.
26The people ascended skyward and descended to the depths, their courage melting away in their peril.26They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their evil plight;
27They reeled and staggered like a drunkard, as all their wisdom became useless.27they reeled and staggered like drunken men and were at their wits’ end.
28Yet when they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, the LORD brought them out of their distress.28Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.
29He calmed the storm and its waves quieted down.29He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed.
30So they rejoiced that the waves became quiet, and he led them to their desired haven.30Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven.
31Let them give thanks to the LORD for his gracious love and for his awesome deeds on behalf of mankind.31Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!
32Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people and praise him in the counsel of the elders.32Let them extol him in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33He turns rivers into a desert, springs of water into dry ground,33He turns rivers into a desert, springs of water into thirsty ground,
34and a fruitful land into a salty waste, due to the wickedness of its inhabitants.34a fruitful land into a salty waste, because of the evil of its inhabitants.
35He turns a desert into a pool of water, dry land into springs of water.35He turns a desert into pools of water, a parched land into springs of water.
36There he settled the hungry, where they built a city to live in.36And there he lets the hungry dwell, and they establish a city to live in;
37They sowed fields and planted vineyards that yielded a productive harvest.37they sow fields and plant vineyards and get a fruitful yield.
38Then he blessed them, and they became numerous; he multiplied their cattle. 38By his blessing they multiply greatly, and he does not let their livestock diminish.
39But they became few in number, and humiliated by continued oppression, agony, and sorrow.39When they are diminished and brought low through oppression, evil, and sorrow,
40Having poured contempt on their nobles, causing them to err aimlessly in the way.40he pours contempt on princes and makes them wander in trackless wastes;
41Yet he lifted the needy from affliction and made them families like a flock.41but he raises up the needy out of affliction and makes their families like flocks.
42The upright see it and rejoice, but the mouth of an evil person is shut.42The upright see it and are glad, and all wickedness shuts its mouth.
43Let whoever is wise observe these things, that they may comprehend the gracious love of the LORD.43Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things; let them consider the steadfast love of the LORD.
