BOOK 5

The LORD Delivers Men from Manifold Troubles.

Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good,
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

1

His Loving Kindness Endures Forever

Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

2

Let the redeemed of the LORD say so,
Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary

2

Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the oppressor,

3

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

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 region;
They did not find a way to an inhabited city.

4

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

5

They were hungry and thirsty;
Their soul fainted within them.

5

Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them:

6

Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble;
He delivered them out of their distresses.

6

Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, [and] he delivered them out of their distresses,

7

He led them also by a straight way,
To go to an inhabited city.

7

8

Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness,
And for His wonders to the sons of men!

For He has satisfied the thirsty soul,
And the hungry soul He has filled with what is good.

For he hath satisfied the longing soul and filled the hungry soul with good.

10

There were those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death,
Prisoners in misery and chains,

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 spurned the counsel of the Most High.

11

Because they had rebelled against the words of God, and had despised the counsel of the Most High; ...

12

Therefore He humbled their heart with labor;
They stumbled and there was none to help.

12

And he bowed down their heart with labour; they stumbled, and there was none to help:

13

Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble;
He saved them out of their distresses.

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 apart.

And for His wonders to the sons of men!

For He has shattered gates of bronze
And cut bars of iron asunder.

17

Fools, because of their rebellious way,
And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.

17

Fools, because of their way of transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted;

18

Their soul abhorred all kinds of food,
And they drew near to the gates of death.

18

Their soul abhorreth all manner of food, and they draw near unto the gates of death:

19

Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble;
He saved them out of their distresses.

Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, [and] he saveth them out of their distresses;

20

He sent His word and healed them,
And delivered them from their destructions.

And for His wonders to the sons of men!

Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men,

22

Let them also offer sacrifices of thanksgiving,
And tell of His works with joyful singing.

23

Those who go down to the sea in ships,
Who do business on great waters;

23

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

24

They have seen the works of the LORD,
And His wonders in the deep.

24

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

25

For He spoke and raised up a stormy wind,
Which lifted up the waves of the sea.

25

For he speaketh, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof:

26

They rose up to the heavens, they went down to the depths;
Their soul melted away in their misery.

26

They mount up to the heavens, they go down to the depths; their soul is melted because of trouble;

27

They reeled and staggered like a drunken man,
And were at their wits’ end.

27

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and they are at their wits' end:

28

Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
And He brought them out of their distresses.

28

Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses;

29

He caused the storm to be still,
So that the waves of the sea were hushed.

29

He maketh the storm a calm, and the waves thereof are still:

30

Then they were glad because they were quiet,
So He guided them to their desired haven.

30

And they rejoice because they are quiet; and he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

31

Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness,
And for His wonders to the sons of men!

31

32

Let them extol Him also in the congregation of the people,
And praise Him at the seat of the elders.

33

He changes rivers into a wilderness
And springs of water into a thirsty ground;

33

He maketh rivers into a wilderness, and water-springs into dry ground;

34

A fruitful land into a salt waste,
Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it.

34

A fruitful land into a plain of salt, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

35

He changes a wilderness into a pool of water
And a dry land into springs of water;

35

He maketh the wilderness into a pool of water, and the dry land into water-springs;

36

And there He makes the hungry to dwell,
So that they may establish an inhabited city,

36

And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, and they establish a city of habitation;

37

And sow fields and plant vineyards,
And gather a fruitful harvest.

37

And sow fields, and plant vineyards, which yield fruits of increase;

38

Also He blesses them and they multiply greatly,
And He does not let their cattle decrease.

38

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

39

When they are diminished and bowed down
Through oppression, misery and sorrow,

39

And they are diminished and brought low, through oppression, adversity, and sorrow:

40

He pours contempt upon princes
And makes them wander in a pathless waste.

40

He poureth contempt upon nobles, and causeth them to wander in a pathless waste;

41

But He sets the needy securely on high away from affliction,
And makes his families like a flock.

41

But he secureth the needy one on high from affliction, and maketh [him] families like flocks.

42

The upright see it and are glad;
But all unrighteousness shuts its mouth.

42

The upright shall see it, and rejoice; and all unrighteousness shall stop its mouth.

43

Who is wise? Let him give heed to these things,
And consider the lovingkindnesses of the LORD.

43

Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, and let them understand the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah.
