Thanksgiving to the Lord For His Great Works of Deliverance

1 Oh, agive thanks to the Lord, for He is good!

For His 1mercy endures forever.

2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,

Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,

3 And bgathered out of the lands,

From the east and from the west,

From the north and from the south.

4 They wandered in cthe wilderness in a desolate way;

They found no city to dwell in.

5 Hungry and thirsty,

Their soul fainted in them.

6 dThen they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,

And He delivered them out of their distresses.

7 And He led them forth by the eright way,

That they might go to a city for a dwelling place.

8 fOh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,

And for His wonderful works to the children of men!

9 For gHe satisfies the longing soul,

And fills the hungry soul with goodness.

10 Those who hsat in darkness and in the shadow of death,

iBound 2in affliction and irons—

11 Because they jrebelled against the words of God,

And 3despised kthe counsel of the Most High,

12 Therefore He brought down their heart with labor;

They fell down, and there was lnone to help.

13 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,

And He saved them out of their distresses.

14 mHe brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,

And broke their chains in pieces.

15 Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,

And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
