1. Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness endureth for ever.
2. Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the oppressor,
3. And gathered out of the countries, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the sea.
4. They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way, they found no city of habitation;
5. Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them:
6. Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses,
7. And he led them forth by a right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8. Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;
9. For he hath satisfied the longing soul and filled the hungry soul with good.
10. Such as inhabit darkness and the shadow of death, bound in affliction and iron,
11. Because they had rebelled against the words of ·God and had despised the counsel of the Most High; ...
12. And he bowed down their heart with labour; they stumbled, and there was none to help:
13. Then they cried unto Jehovah 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 bands in sunder.
15. Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;
16. For he hath broken the gates of bronze, and cut asunder the bars of iron.
