GIVE thanks unto, the Lord; for he is gracious, and his mercy endureth for ever. 11 Because they rebelled against the words of the Lord, and lightly regarded the counsel of the Most Highest. 12 He also brought down their heart through heaviness; they fell down, and there was none to help them. 13 So when they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, he delivered them out of their distress. 14 For he brought them out of darkness, and out of the shadow of death, and brake their bonds in sunder. 15 O that men would there fore praise the Lord for his goodness; and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men! 16 For he hath broken the 2 Let them give thanks, whom the Lord hath redeem-gates of brass, and smitten the ed, and delivered from the hand bars of iron in sunder. of the enemy; 3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west; from the north, and from the south. 4 They went astray in the wilderness out of the way, and found no city to dwell in. 5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. 17 Foolish men are plagued for their offence, and because of their wickedness. 18 Their soul abhorred all manner of meat, and they were even hard at death's door. 19 So when they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, le delivered them out of their distress. 6 So they cried unto the 20 He sent his word, and Lord in their trouble, and he healed them; and they were delivered them from their dis-saved from their destruction. tress. 7 He led them forth by the right way, that they might go to the city where they dwelt. 80 that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness; and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men! 9 For he satisfieth the empty soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness; 10 Such as sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death, being fast bound in misery and iron; 21 O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness; and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men! 22 That they would offer unto him the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and tell out his works with gladness! 23 They that go down to the sea in ships, and occupy their business in great waters; 24 These men see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. 25 For at his word the GOD, my heart is ready, my heart is ready, I will sing, and give praise with the best member that I have. 2 Awake, thou lute and harp; I myself will awake right early. 31 will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the people; will sing praises unto thee among the nations. 4 For thy mercy is greater than the heavens, and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds. 5 Set up thyself, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth, 6 That thy beloved may be delivered: let thy right hand save them, and hear thou me 7 God hath spoken in his holi ness; I will rejoice therefore, and divide Sichem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. 8 Gilead is mine, and Manasses is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my head: 38 He blesseth them, so that they multiply exceedingly; and 9 Juda is my lawgiver: Mosuffereth not their cattle to de-ab is my wash-pot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; upon Philistia will I triumph. 10 Who will lead me into the strong city and who will bring me into Edom? 11 Hast not thou forsaken us. |
