Therefore was the wrath of Jehovah kindled against his people, And he abhorred his inheritance.

Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their hand.

Nevertheless he regarded their distress, When he heard their cry:

He made them also to be pitied Of all those that carried them captive.

Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye Jehovah.

Let the redeemed of Jehovah say [so], Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary,

They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; They found no city of habitation.

Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distresses,

Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron,

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

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

For he hath broken the gates of brass, And cut the bars of iron in sunder.

Their soul abhorreth all manner of food; And they draw near unto the gates of death.

He sendeth his word, and healeth them, And delivereth [them] from their destructions.

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

These see the works of Jehovah, And his wonders in the deep.

They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths: Their soul melteth away because of trouble.

Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he bringeth them out of their distresses.

Then are they glad because they are quiet; So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

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

A fruitful land into a salt desert, For the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, That they may prepare a city of habitation,

He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; And he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
