BOOK 5 The LORD Delivers Men from Manifold Troubles. 1Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
2Let the redeemed of the LORD say so,
3And gathered from the lands,
4They wandered in the wilderness in a desert region;
5They were hungry and thirsty;
6Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble;
7He led them also by a straight way,
8Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness,
9For He has satisfied the thirsty soul,
10There were those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death,
11Because they had rebelled against the words of God
12Therefore He humbled their heart with labor;
13Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble;
14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death
15Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness,
16For He has shattered gates of bronze
17Fools, because of their rebellious way,
18Their soul abhorred all kinds of food,
19Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble;
20He sent His word and healed them,
21Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness,
22Let them also offer sacrifices of thanksgiving,
23Those who go down to the sea in ships,
24They have seen the works of the LORD,
25For He spoke and raised up a stormy wind,
26They rose up to the heavens, they went down to the depths;
27They reeled and staggered like a drunken man,
28Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
29He caused the storm to be still,
30Then they were glad because they were quiet,
31Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness,
32Let them extol Him also in the congregation of the people,
33He changes rivers into a wilderness
34A fruitful land into a salt waste,
35He changes a wilderness into a pool of water
36And there He makes the hungry to dwell,
37And sow fields and plant vineyards,
38Also He blesses them and they multiply greatly,
39When they are diminished and bowed down
40He pours contempt upon princes
41But He sets the needy securely on high away from affliction,
42The upright see it and are glad;
