ASV

O give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever.

ASV

Let the redeemed of Jehovah say [so], Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary,

ASV

And gathered out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.

ASV

They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; They found no city of habitation.

ASV

Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them.

ASV

Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distresses,

ASV

He led them also by a straight way, That they might go to a city of habitation.

ASV

Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

ASV

For he satisfieth the longing soul, And the hungry soul he filleth with good.

ASV

Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron,

ASV

Because they rebelled against the words of God, And contemned the counsel of the Most High:

ASV

Therefore he brought down their heart with labor; They fell down, and there was none to help.

ASV

Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he saved them out of their distresses.

ASV

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And brake their bonds in sunder.

ASV

Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

ASV

For he hath broken the gates of brass, And cut the bars of iron in sunder.

ASV

Fools because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

ASV

Their soul abhorreth all manner of food; And they draw near unto the gates of death.

ASV

Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he saveth them out of their distresses.

ASV

He sendeth his word, and healeth them, And delivereth [them] from their destructions.

ASV

Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

ASV

And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare his works with singing.

ASV

They that go down to the sea in ships, That do business in great waters;

ASV

These see the works of Jehovah, And his wonders in the deep.

ASV

For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, Which lifteth up the waves thereof.

ASV

They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths: Their soul melteth away because of trouble.

ASV

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, And are at their wits’ end.

ASV

Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he bringeth them out of their distresses.

ASV

He maketh the storm a calm, So that the waves thereof are still.

ASV

Then are they glad because they are quiet; So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

ASV

Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

ASV

Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, And praise him in the seat of the elders.

ASV

He turneth rivers into a wilderness, And watersprings into a thirsty ground;

ASV

A fruitful land into a salt desert, For the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

ASV

He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water, And a dry land into watersprings.

ASV

And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, That they may prepare a city of habitation,

ASV

And sow fields, and plant vineyards, And get them fruits of increase.

ASV

He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; And he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

ASV

Again, they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.

ASV

He poureth contempt upon princes, And causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.

ASV

Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction, And maketh [him] families like a flock.

ASV

The upright shall see it, and be glad; And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

ASV

Whoso is wise will give heed to these things; And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah.
