¹O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.6 sermons²Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;9 sermons³And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.5 sermons⁴They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.5 sermons⁵Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.5 sermons⁶Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.6 sermons⁷And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.5 sermons⁸Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!5 sermons⁹For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.6 sermons¹⁰Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;5 sermons¹¹Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:5 sermons¹²Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.4 sermons¹³Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.5 sermons¹⁴He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.4 sermons¹⁵Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!4 sermons¹⁶For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.4 sermons¹⁷Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.4 sermons¹⁸Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.5 sermons¹⁹Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.7 sermons²⁰He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.6 sermons²¹Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!5 sermons²²And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.6 sermons²³They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;6 sermons²⁴These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.5 sermons²⁵For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.5 sermons²⁶They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.5 sermons²⁷They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.7 sermons²⁸Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.6 sermons²⁹He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.5 sermons³⁰Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.5 sermons³¹Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!5 sermons³²Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.4 sermons³³He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;4 sermons³⁴A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.4 sermons³⁵He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.4 sermons³⁶And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;4 sermons³⁷And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.5 sermons³⁸He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.5 sermons³⁹Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.4 sermons⁴⁰He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.4 sermons⁴¹Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.4 sermons⁴²The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.4 sermons⁴³Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.5 sermons
