Vers 1
Praise God, for he is good: for still
his mercies lasting be.
Let God’s redeem’d say so, whom he
from th’ en’my’s hand did free;Vers 2
And gather’d them out of the lands,
from north, south, east, nd west.
They stray’d in desert’s pathless way,
no city found to rest.Vers 3
For thirst and hunger in them faints
their soul. When straits them press,
They cry unto the Lord,
and he them frees from their distress.Vers 4
Them also in a way to walk
that right is he did guide,
That they might to a city go,
wherein they might abide.Vers 5
O that men to the Lord would give
praise for his goodness then,
And for his works of wonder done
unto the sons of men!Vers 6
For he the soul that longing is
doth fully satisfy;
With goodness he the hungry soul
doth fill abundantly.Vers 7
Such as shut up in darkness deep,
and in death’s shade abide,
Whom strongly hath affliction bound,
and irons fast have ty’d:Vers 8
Because against the words of God
they wrought rebelliously,
And they the counsel did contemn
of him that is most High:Vers 9
Their heart he did bring down with grief,
they fell, no help could have.
In trouble then they cry’d to God,
he them from straits did save.Vers 10
He out of darkness did them bring,
and from death’s shade them take;
These bands, wherewith they had been bound,
asunder quite he brake.Vers 11
O that men to the Lord would give
praise for his goodness then,
And for his works of wonder done
unto the sons of men!Vers 12
Because the mighty gates of brass
in pieces he did tear,
By him in sunder also cut
the bars of iron were.Vers 13
Fools, for their sin, and their offence,
do sore affliction bear;
All kind of meat their soul abhors;
they to death’s gates draw near.Vers 14
In grief they cry to God; he saves
them from their miseries.
He sends his word, them heals,
and them from their destructions frees.Vers 15
O that men to the Lord would give
praise for his goodness then,
And for his works of wonder done
unto the sons of men!Vers 16
And let them sacrifice to him
off ’rings of thankfulness;
And let them shew abroad his works
in songs of joyfulness.Vers 17
Who go to sea in ships,
and in great waters trading be,
Within the deep these men God’s works
and his great wonders see.Vers 18
For he commands,
and forth in haste the stormy tempest flies,
Which makes the sea with rolling waves
aloft to swell and rise.Vers 19
They mount to heav’n, then to the depths
they do go down again;
Their soul doth faint and melt away
with trouble and with pain.Vers 20
They reel and stagger like one drunk,
at their wit’s end they be:
Then they to God in trouble cry,
who them from straits doth free.Vers 21
The storm is chang’d into a calm
at his command and will;
So that the waves, which rag’d before,
now quiet are and still.Vers 22
Then are they glad, because at rest
and quiet now they be:
So to the haven he them brings,
which they desir’d to see.Vers 23
O that men to the Lord would give
praise for his goodness then,
And for his works of wonder done
unto the sons of men!Vers 24
Among the people gathered
let them exalt his name;
Among assembled elders spread
his most renowned fame.Vers 25
He to dry land turns water-springs,
and floods to wilderness;
For sins of those that dwell therein,
fat land to barrenness.Vers 26
The burnt and parched wilderness
to water-pools he brings;
The ground that was dry’d up before
he turns to water-springs:Vers 27
And there, for dwelling, he a place
doth to the hungry give,
That they a city may prepare
commodiously to live.Vers 28
There sow they fields, and vineyards plant,
to yield fruits of increase.
His blessing makes them multiply,
lets not their beasts decrease.Vers 29
Again they are diminished,
and very low brought down,
Through sorrow and affliction,
and great oppression.Vers 30
He upon princes pours contempt,
and causeth them to stray,
And wander in a wilderness,
wherein there is no way.Vers 31
Yet setteth he the poor on high
from all his miseries,
And he, much like unto a flock,
doth make him families.Vers 32
They that are righteous shall rejoice,
when they the same shall see;
And, as ashamed, stop her mouth
shall all iniquity.Vers 33
Whoso is wise, and will these things
observe, and them record,
Ev’n they shall understand the love
and kindness of the Lord.
