Psalm 106:1–6

48 Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,

from everlasting to everlasting.

Let all the people say, “Amen!”

Praise the Lord.

1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;

his love endures forever.

2 Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story—

those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,

3 those he gathered from the lands,

from east and west, from north and south.

4 Some wandered in desert wastelands,

finding no way to a city where they could settle.

5 They were hungry and thirsty,

and their lives ebbed away.

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

and he delivered them from their distress.

48 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,

from everlasting to everlasting!

And let all the people say, “Amen!”

Praise the Lord!

1 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,

for his steadfast love endures forever!

2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,

whom he has redeemed from trouble

3 and gathered in from the lands,

from the east and from the west,

from the north and from the south.

4 Some wandered in desert wastes,

finding no way to a city to dwell in;

5 hungry and thirsty,

their soul fainted within them.

6 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

48 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting:

And let all the people say, Amen.

Praise ye the Lord.

1 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good:

For his mercy endureth for ever.

2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,

Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

3 And gathered them out of the lands,

From the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.

4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way;

They found no city to dwell in.

5 Hungry and thirsty,

Their soul fainted in them.

6 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble,

And he delivered them out of their distresses.

48 Praise the Lord, the God of Israel,

who lives from everlasting to everlasting!

Let all the people say, “Amen!”

Praise the Lord!

1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!

His faithful love endures forever.

2 Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out!

Tell others he has redeemed you from your enemies.

3 For he has gathered the exiles from many lands,

from east and west,

from north and south.

4 Some wandered in the wilderness,

lost and homeless.

5 Hungry and thirsty,

they nearly died.

6 “Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble,

and he rescued them from their distress.

48 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel

From everlasting to everlasting!

And let all the people say, “Amen!”

Praise the Lord!

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

For His mercy endures forever.

2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,

Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,

3 And gathered out of the lands,

From the east and from the west,

From the north and from the south.

4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desolate way;

They found no city to dwell in.

5 Hungry and thirsty,

Their soul fainted in them.

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

And He delivered them out of their distresses.

48 Praise the Lord, the God of Israel.

He always was and always will be.

Let all the people say, “Amen!”

Praise the Lord!

1 Thank the Lord because he is good.

His love continues forever.

2 That is what those whom the Lord has saved should say.

He has saved them from the enemy

3 and has gathered them from other lands,

from east and west, north and south.

4 Some people had wandered in the desert lands.

They found no city in which to live.

5 They were hungry and thirsty,

and they were discouraged.

6 In their misery they cried out to the Lord,

and he saved them from their troubles.

48 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel,

From everlasting even to everlasting.

And let all the people say, Amen.

Praise ye Jehovah.

1 O give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;

For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

2 Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so,

Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary,

3 And gathered out of the lands,

From the east and from the west,

From the north and from the south.

4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way;

They found no city of habitation.

5 Hungry and thirsty,

Their soul fainted in them.

6 Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble,

And he delivered them out of their distresses,

48 Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, from eternity and to eternity! And let all the people say, Amen! Hallelujah!

1 Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness endureth for ever. 2 Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the oppressor, 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 way, they found no city of habitation; 5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them: 6 Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses,

48 Thanks be to the Lord God of Israel 

from everlasting to everlasting. 

Let all the people say amen. 

Hallelujah!

1 Give thanks to the Lord because he is good, 

because his mercy endures forever. 

2 Let the people the Lord defended repeat these words. 

They are the people he defended from the power of their enemies 

3 and gathered from other countries, 

from the east and from the west, 

from the north and from the south. 

4 They wandered around the desert on a deserted road 

without finding an inhabited city. 

5 They were hungry and thirsty. 

They began to lose hope. 

6 In their distress they cried out to the Lord. 

He rescued them from their troubles. 

48 May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised

from everlasting to everlasting.

Let all the people say, “Amen!”

Hallelujah!

1 Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;

His faithful love endures forever.

2 Let the redeemed of the Lord proclaim

that He has redeemed them from the hand of the foe

3 and has gathered them from the lands—

from the east and the west,

from the north and the south.

4 Some wandered in the desolate wilderness,

finding no way to a city where they could live.

5 They were hungry and thirsty;

their spirits failed within them.

6 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble;

He rescued them from their distress.

48 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,

from everlasting to everlasting.

And let all the people say, “Amen.”

Praise the Lord!

1 O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,

for his steadfast love endures forever.

2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,

those he redeemed from trouble

3 and gathered in from the lands,

from the east and from the west,

from the north and from the south.

4 Some wandered in desert wastes,

finding no way to an inhabited town;

5 hungry and thirsty,

their soul fainted within them.

6 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress;

48 Blessed is Yahweh, the God of Israel,

from everlasting and to everlasting.

And let all the people say, “Amen!”

Praise Yah.

1 Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good,

for his loyal love is forever.

2 Let the redeemed of Yahweh declare it,

those whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy

3 and gathered from the lands,

from east and from west, from north and from south.

4 They wandered in the wilderness, in a desert.

They could find no way to a city to inhabit.

5 Hungry and thirsty,

their soul grew faint within them.

6 Then they cried out to Yahweh in their trouble.

He delivered them from their distresses

48 Give praise to the Lord, the God of Israel,

for ever and ever.

Let all of the people say, “Amen!”

Praise the Lord.

1 Give thanks to the Lord, because he is good.

His faithful love continues forever.

2 That’s what those who have been set free by the Lord should say.

He set them free from the power of the enemy.

3 He brought them back from other lands.

He brought them back from east and west, from north and south.

4 Some of them wandered in deserts that were dry and empty.

They couldn’t find their way to a city where they could settle down.

5 They were hungry and thirsty.

Their lives were slipping away.

6 Then they cried out to the Lord because of their problems.

And he saved them from their troubles.

48 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,

From everlasting even to everlasting.

And let all the people say, “Amen.”

Praise the Lord!

1 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good,

For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,

Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary

3 And gathered from the lands,

From the east and from the west,

From the north and from the south.

4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desert region;

They did not find a way to an inhabited city.

5 They were hungry and thirsty;

Their soul fainted within them.

6 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble;

He delivered them out of their distresses.
