Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, and his loyal love endures! |
2
|
Let those delivered by the LORD speak out, those whom he delivered from the power of the enemy, |
3
|
and gathered from foreign lands, from east and west, from north and south. |
4
|
They wandered through the wilderness on a desert road; they found no city in which to live. |
5
|
They were hungry and thirsty; they fainted from exhaustion. |
6
|
They cried out to the LORD in their distress; he delivered them from their troubles. |
7
|
He led them on a level road, that they might find a city in which to live. |
8
|
Let them give thanks to the LORD for his loyal love, and for the amazing things he has done for people! |
9
|
For he has satisfied those who thirst, and those who hunger he has filled with food. |
10
|
They sat in utter darkness, bound in painful iron chains, |
11
|
because they had rebelled against God's commands, and rejected the instructions of the sovereign king. |
12
|
So he used suffering to humble them; they stumbled and no one helped them up. |
13
|
They cried out to the LORD in their distress; he delivered them from their troubles. |
14
|
He brought them out of the utter darkness, and tore off their shackles. |
15
|
Let them give thanks to the LORD for his loyal love, and for the amazing things he has done for people! |
16
|
For he shattered the bronze gates, and hacked through the iron bars. |
17
|
They acted like fools in their rebellious ways, and suffered because of their sins. |
18
|
They lost their appetite for all food, and they drew near the gates of death. |
19
|
They cried out to the LORD in their distress; he delivered them from their troubles. |
20
|
He sent them an assuring word and healed them; he rescued them from the pits where they were trapped. |
21
|
Let them give thanks to the LORD for his loyal love, and for the amazing things he has done for people! |
22
|
Let them present thank offerings, and loudly proclaim what he has done! |
23
|
Some traveled on the sea in ships, and carried cargo over the vast waters. |
24
|
They witnessed the acts of the LORD, his amazing feats on the deep water. |
25
|
He gave the order for a windstorm, and it stirred up the waves of the sea. |
26
|
They reached up to the sky, then dropped into the depths. The sailors' strength left them because the danger was so great. |
27
|
They swayed and staggered like a drunk, and all their skill proved ineffective. |
28
|
They cried out to the LORD in their distress; he delivered them from their troubles. |
29
|
He calmed the storm, and the waves grew silent. |
30
|
The sailors rejoiced because the waves grew quiet, and he led them to the harbor they desired. |
31
|
Let them give thanks to the LORD for his loyal love, and for the amazing things he has done for people! |
32
|
Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people! Let them praise him in the place where the leaders preside! |
33
|
He turned streams into a desert, springs of water into arid land, |
34
|
and a fruitful land into a barren place, because of the sin of its inhabitants. |
35
|
As for his people, he turned a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into springs of water. |
36
|
He allowed the hungry to settle there, and they established a city in which to live. |
37
|
They cultivated fields, and planted vineyards, which yielded a harvest of fruit. |
38
|
He blessed them so that they became very numerous. He would not allow their cattle to decrease in number. |
39
|
As for their enemies, they decreased in number and were beaten down, because of painful distress and suffering. |
40
|
He would pour contempt upon princes, and he made them wander in a wasteland with no road. |
41
|
Yet he protected the needy from oppression, and cared for his families like a flock of sheep. |
42
|
When the godly see this, they rejoice, and every sinner shuts his mouth. |
43
|
Whoever is wise, let him take note of these things! Let them consider the LORD's acts of loyal love! |
