1 Confesse you it vnto God: for he is gratious, and his mercy endureth for euer. VP
2 Let such as God did redeme speake: whom he hath redeemed from the hande of the enemie. VP
3 And whom he gathered out of the landes: from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south. VP
4 They went astray out of the way in solitarines and in wildernes, and found no citie to dwell in: VP
5 they were hungry and thirstie, their soule fainted in them. VP
6 And they cry vnto god in their trouble: who deliuereth them from their distresse. VP
7 And he leadeth them foorth by the right way: that they might go to the citie inhabited. VP
8 O that men would confesse vnto God his louyng kindnesse: and his marueylous actes done to the chyldren of men. VP
9 For he satisfieth the greedie soule: and filleth the hungry soule with goodnes. VP
10 Suche as sit in darknesse and in the shadowe of death: beyng fast bounde in miserie and iron. VP
11 Because they went from the wordes of the Lorde: and lightly regarded the counsayle of the most highest. VP
12 Therfore he humbled their heart thorowe heauines: they fall downe, and there is none to helpe them. VP
13 And they cry vnto god in their trouble: who deliuereth the out of their distresse. VP
14 For he bringeth them out of darknesse and out of the shadowe of death: and breaketh their bondes in sunder. VP
15 O that men would confesse vnto God: his louing kindnes and his marueylous actes done to the chyldren of men. VP
16 For he breaketh the gates of brasse: & smyteth the barres of iron in sunder. VP
17 Foolish men are plagued for their mischeuous wayes: & for their wickednes. VP
18 Their soule abhorreth all maner of meate: and they be euen harde at deathes doore. VP
19 And they crye vnto God in their trouble: who deliuereth them out of their distresse. VP
20 he sendeth his worde & healeth them: and he maketh them to scape safe from their corruptnes. VP
21 O that men would confesse vnto God: his louing kindnes and his marueylous actes done to the chyldren of men. VP
22 And that they would offer vnto him sacrifices of thankes geuing: and set foorth in wordes his workes with a ioyfull noyse. VP
23 Such as go downe to the sea in ships and folowe their busines in great waters: VP
24 they see the workes of God, and his wonders in the deepe. VP
25 For he commaundeth and causeth a stormie winde to arise: and he lifteth vp on high his waues. VP
26 Then they ascende vp to heauen, and come downe agayne to the deepe: so that their soule melteth away through trouble. VP
27 They reele to and fro, and they do stacker like a drunken man: and their wysdome fayleth them. VP
28 And they cry vnto god in their trouble: who deliuereth the out of their distresse. VP
29 For he maketh the storme to ceasse: so that the waues therof are still. VP
30 Then be they glad because they are at rest: and he bringeth them to the hauen where they woulde be. VP
31 O that men would confesse vnto god: his louyng kyndnes and meruaylous actes done to the chyldren of men. VP
32 And that they would exalt him in the congregation of the people: and prayse him in the consistorie of the aged. VP
33 He turneth fluddes into a wildernes: and waterspringes into a drye grounde. VP
34 He maketh a fruitfull grounde barren: for the wickednes of them that dwell therein. VP
35 Contrary he reduceth a wyldernes into a standing water: and a drye ground into water springes. VP
36 And he setteth there the hungry: and they buylde them a citie to dwell in. VP
37 And they sowe their lande and plant vineyardes: and they yelde vnto them aboundant store of fruites. VP
38 He blesseth them, so that they multiplie exceedingly: and he suffereth not their cattle to decrease. VP
39 But when they do fall from God, they are diminished & brought low: through oppression, calamitie, & griefe of minde. VP
40 He bringeth princes into contempt: & he maketh them to wander in a wildernesse where there is no way at all. VP
41 Yet he exalteth the poore out of miserie: and geueth him housholdes equall to flockes of cattell. VP
42 The righteous will marke this and reioyce: and the mouth of all wickednesse shalbe stopped. VP
43 Whosoeuer is wyse, he wyll both obserue these thinges: and also well consider the louing kindnesse of God. VP
