1 – Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Covenant Eyes ad

2 – Let them say so that have been redeemed by the Lord, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy: and gathered out of the countries.

3 – From the rising and the setting of the sun, from the north and from the sea.

4 – They wandered in a wilderness, in a place without water: they found not the way of a city for their habitation.

5 – They were hungry and thirsty: their soul fainted in them.

6 – And they cried to the Lord in their tribulation: and he delivered them out of their distresses.

7 – And he led them into the right way: that they might go to a city of habitation.

8 – Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.

9 – For he hath satisfied the empty soul, and hath filled the hungry soul with good things.

10 – Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death: bound in want and in iron.

11 – Because they had exasperated the words of God: and provoked the counsel of the most High:

12 – And their heart was humbled with labours: they were weakened, and their was none to help them.

13 – Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.

14 – And he brought them out of darkness, and the shadow of death; and broke their bonds in sunder.

15 – Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.

16 – Because he hath broken gates of brass, and burst the iron bars.

17 – He took them out of the way of their iniquity: for they were brought low for their injustices.

18 – Their soul abhorred all manner of meat: and they drew nigh even to the gates of death.

19 – And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.

20 – He sent his word, and healed them: and delivered them from their destructions.

21 – Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.

22 – And let them sacrifice the sacrifice of praise: and declare his works with joy.

23 – They that go down to the sea in ships, doing business in the great waters:

24 – These have seen the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.

25 – He said the word, and there arose a storm of wind: and the waves thereof were lifted up.

26 – They mount up to the heavens, and they go down to the depths: their soul pined away with evils.

27 – They were troubled, and reeled like a drunken man; and all their wisdom was swallowed up.

28 – And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he brought them out of their distresses.

29 – And he turned the storm into a breeze: and its waves were still.

30 – And they rejoiced because they were still: and he brought them to the haven which they wished for.

31 – Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.

32 – And let them exalt him in the church of the people: and praise him in the chair of the ancients.

33 – He hath turned rivers into a wilderness: and the sources of water into dry ground:

34 – A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

35 – He hath turned a wilderness into pools of water, and a dry land into water springs.

36 – And hath placed there the hungry; and they made a city for their habitation.

37 – And they sowed fields, and planted vineyards: and they yielded fruit of birth.

38 – And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly: and their cattle he suffered not to decrease.

39 – Then they were brought to be few: and they were afflicted through the trouble of evils and sorrow.

40 – Contempt was poured forth upon their princes: and he caused them to wander where there was no passing, and out of the way.

41 – And he helped the poor out of poverty: and made him families like a flock of sheep.

42 – The just shall see, and shall rejoice, and all iniquity shall stop their mouth.

43 – Who is wise, and will keep these things: and will understand the mercies of the Lord?
