Book V

Jehovah delivers men from manifold troubles.

¹Give thanks to Yahweh, For he is good, For his lovingkindness endures forever.

²Let the redeemed by Yahweh say so, Whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,

³Gathered out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.

⁴They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way. They found no city to live in.

⁵Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them.

⁶Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distresses,

⁷He led them also by a straight way, That they might go to a city to live in.

⁸Let them praise Yahweh for his lovingkindness, For his wonderful works to the children of men!

⁹For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good.

¹⁰Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron,

¹¹Because they rebelled against the words of God, And condemned the counsel of the Most High.

¹²Therefore he brought down their heart with labor. They fell down, and there was none to help.

¹³Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, And he saved them out of their distresses.

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

¹⁵Let them praise Yahweh for his lovingkindness, For his wonderful works to the children of men!

¹⁶For he has broken the gates of brass, And cut through bars of iron.

¹⁷Fools are afflicted because of their disobedience, And because of their iniquities.

¹⁸Their soul abhors all kinds of food. They draw near to the gates of death.

¹⁹Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, He saves them out of their distresses.

²⁰He sends his word, and heals them, And delivers them from their graves.

²¹Let them praise Yahweh for his lovingkindness, For his wonderful works to the children of men!

²²Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare his works with singing.

²³Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business in great waters;

²⁴These see Yahweh`s works, And his wonders in the deep.

²⁵For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, Which lifts up its waves.

²⁶They mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths. Their soul melts away because of trouble.

²⁷They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man, And are at their wits` end.

²⁸Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, He brings them out of their distress.

²⁹He makes the storm a calm, So that its waves are still.

³⁰Then are they glad because it is calm, So he brings them to their desired haven.

³¹Let them praise Yahweh for his lovingkindness, For his wonderful works to the children of men!

³²Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, And praise him in the seat of the elders.
