3He gathered them from the countries, From the east and the west and the north and the south.

4They were led astray in the desert, in a place without water; They did not find a road to an inhabited city;

Greek verse alignment unresolved

5While hungering and thirsting, Their soul fainted in them;

Greek verse alignment unresolved

6And they cried out to the Lord in their affliction, And He delivered them from their distresses;

Greek verse alignment unresolved

7And He led them in a straight path, So they might go to a city of habitation.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

8Let them give thanks to the Lord for His mercies And His wonders to the sons of men;

Greek verse alignment unresolved

9For He fed the empty soul And filled the hungry soul with good things,

Greek verse alignment unresolved

10Those sitting in the darkness and shadow of death, Bound in poverty and fetters;

Greek verse alignment unresolved

11For they rebelled against the teachings of God And provoked the counsel of the Most High;

Greek verse alignment unresolved

12Thus their heart was humbled by troubles; They were weak, and there was no one to help them;

Greek verse alignment unresolved

13Then they cried out to the Lord in their afflictions, And He saved them from their distresses;

Greek verse alignment unresolved

14And He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And broke their chains to pieces.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

15Let them give thanks to the Lord for His mercies, His wonders to the sons of men;

Greek verse alignment unresolved

16For He crushed the gates of bronze And shattered the bars of iron.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

17He helped them out of their lawless ways, For they were humbled because of their transgressions.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

18Their soul abhorred all manner of food, And they drew near the gates of death;

Greek verse alignment unresolved

19Then they cried to the Lord in their afflictions, And He saved them from their distresses;

Greek verse alignment unresolved

20He sent His Word and healed them, And delivered them from their corruptions.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

21Let them give thanks to the Lord for His mercies And His wonders to the sons of men,

Greek verse alignment unresolved

22And let them offer a sacrifice of praise; And let them proclaim His works with exceeding joy.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

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

Greek verse alignment unresolved

24These see the works of the Lord And His wonders in the deep;

Greek verse alignment unresolved

25He spoke, and a stormy wind arose, And its waves were lifted up;

Greek verse alignment unresolved

26They mount up to the heavens And descend into the deep; Their soul is consumed with evils;

Greek verse alignment unresolved

27They were troubled; they were shaken like one drunk with wine, And all their wisdom was consumed;

Greek verse alignment unresolved

28Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction, And He brought them out of their distresses.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

29He also commanded the storm, and it became a breeze, And its waves were still;

Greek verse alignment unresolved

30Then they were glad, for they were silent, And He guided them to the haven of their desire.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

31Let them give thanks to the Lord for His mercies And His wonders to the sons of men;

Greek verse alignment unresolved

32Let them exalt Him in the assembly of the people And praise Him in the seat of the elders.

33He turned rivers into a desert And streams of water into dry ground,

Greek verse alignment unresolved

34A fruitful land into salt water, Because of the evils of those living there.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

35He turned the desert into pools of water, And a land without water into streams of water;

Greek verse alignment unresolved

36Then He caused the hungry to dwell there And established a city for habitation;

Greek verse alignment unresolved

37They sowed fields and planted vineyards, And produced much fruit;

Greek verse alignment unresolved

38So He blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly, And their cattle did not diminish.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

39But they were diminished and maltreated By the affliction of evils and pain.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

40Contempt was poured out on princes, And He made them wander in an impassible place, where there was no road.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

41Yet He helped the poor man out of his poverty, And made his families like a flock.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

42The righteous shall see this and be glad, And all lawlessness shall stop its mouth.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

43Who is wise and shall keep these things, And shall understand the mercies of the Lord?
