1Agradecei ao SENHOR, porque ele é bom; porque sua bondade dura para sempre. 2Digam isso os resgatados pelo SENHOR, os quais ele resgatou das mão do adversário. 3E os que ele ajuntou de todas as terras, do oriente e do ocidente, do norte e do sul. 4Os que andaram sem rumo no deserto, por caminhos solitários; os que não acharam cidade para morarem. 5Famintos e sedentos, suas almas neles desfaleciam. 6Mas eles clamaram ao SENHOR em suas angústias, e ele os livrou de suas aflições. 7E os levou ao caminho correto, para irem a uma cidade de moradia. 8Agradeçam ao SENHOR por sua bondade, e suas maravilhas perante os filhos dos homens. 9Porque ele fartou a alma sedenta, e encheu de bem a alma faminta; 10Os que estavam sentados em trevas e sombra de morte, presos com aflição e ferro, 11Porque se rebelaram contra os mandamentos de Deus, e rejeitaram o conselho do Altíssimo. 12Por isso ele abateu seus corações com trabalhos cansativos; eles tropeçaram, e não houve quem os socorresse. 13Porém eles clamaram ao SENHOR em suas angústias, e ele os livrou de suas aflições. 14Ele os tirou das trevas e da sombra da morte, e quebrou suas correntes de prisão. 15Agradeçam ao SENHOR pela sua bondade, e suas maravilhas perante os filhos dos homens. 16Porque ele quebrou as portas de bronze, e despedaçou os ferrolhos de ferro. 17Os tolos foram afligidos por causa de seu caminho de transgressões e por suas perversidades. 18A alma deles perdeu o interesse por todo tipo de comida, e chegaram até às portas da morte. 19Porém eles clamaram ao SENHOR em suas angústias, e ele os livrou de suas aflições. 20Ele enviou sua palavra, e os sarou; e ele os livrou de suas covas. 21Agradeçam ao SENHOR por sua bondade, e suas maravilhas perante os filhos dos homens. 22E sacrifiquem sacrifícios de gratidão; e anunciai as obras dele com alegria. 23Os que descem ao mar em navios, trabalhando em muitas águas, 24Esses veem as obras do SENHOR, e suas maravilhas nas profundezas. 25Porque quando ele fala, ele faz levantar tormentas de vento, que levanta suas ondas. 26Elas sobem aos céus, e descem aos abismos; a alma deles se derrete de angústia. 27Eles cambaleiam e vacilam como bêbados, e toda a sabedoria deles se acaba. 28Então eles clamaram ao SENHOR em suas angústias, e ele os tirou de suas aflições. 29Ele fez cessar as tormentas, e as ondas se calaram. 30Então se alegraram, porque houve calmaria; e ele os levou ao porto que queriam chegar . 31Agradeçam ao SENHOR por sua bondade, e suas maravilhas perante os filhos dos homens; 32E exaltem a ele na assembleia do povo, e o glorifiquem na reunião dos anciãos. 33Ele torna os rios em deserto, e as saídas de águas em terra seca. 34A terra frutífera em salgada, pela maldade dos que nela habitam. 35Ele torna o deserto em lagoa, e a terra seca em nascentes de águas. 36E faz aos famintos habitarem ali; e eles edificam uma cidade para morarem; 37E semeiam campos, e plantam vinhas, que produzem fruto valioso. 38E ele os abençoa, e se multiplicam muito, e o gado dele não diminui. 39Mas quando eles se diminuem e se abatem, por causa da opressão, mal e aflição; 40Ele derrama desprezo sobre os governantes, e os faz andar sem rumo pelos desertos, sem terem caminho. 41Mas ao necessitado, ele levanta da opressão a um alto retiro, e faz famílias como a rebanhos. 42Os corretos, ao verem, ficam alegres, e todo perverso se calará. 43Quem é sábio, que preste atenção a estas coisas, e reflita nas bondades do SENHOR.
1Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever. 2Let the redeemed by Yahweh say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary, 3And gathered 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 loving kindness, 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 no one 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 away their chains. 15Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, 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 loving kindness, 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, and he brings them out of their distress. 29He makes the storm a calm, so that its waves are still. 30Then they are glad because it is calm, so he brings them to their desired haven. 31Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful works for the children of men! 32Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, and praise him in the seat of the elders. 33He turns rivers into a desert, water springs into a thirsty ground, 34and a fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of those who dwell in it. 35He turns a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into water springs. 36There he makes the hungry live, that they may prepare a city to live in, 37sow fields, plant vineyards, and reap the fruits of increase. 38He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly. He doesn’t allow their livestock to decrease. 39Again, they are diminished and bowed down through oppression, trouble, and sorrow. 40He pours contempt on princes, and causes them to wander in a trackless waste. 41Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction, and increases their families like a flock. 42The upright will see it, and be glad. All the wicked will shut their mouths. 43Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things. They will consider the loving kindnesses of Yahweh.
1Looft den HEERE, want Hij is goed; want Zijn goedertierenheid is in der eeuwigheid. 2Dat zulks de bevrijden des HEEREN zeggen, die Hij van de hand der wederpartijders bevrijd heeft. 3En die Hij uit de landen verzameld heeft, van het oosten en van het westen, van het noorden en van de zee. 4Die in de woestijn dwaalden, in een weg der wildernis, die geen stad ter woning vonden; 5Zij waren hongerig, ook dorstig; hun ziel was in hen overstelpt. 6Doch roepende tot den HEERE in de benauwdheid, die zij hadden, heeft Hij hen gered uit hun angsten; 7En Hij leidde hen op een rechten weg, om te gaan tot een stad ter woning. 8Laat hen voor den HEERE Zijn goedertierenheid loven, en Zijn wonderwerken voor de kinderen der mensen. 9Want Hij heeft de dorstige ziel verzadigd, en de hongerige ziel met goed vervuld; 10Die in duisternis en de schaduw des doods zaten, gebonden met verdrukking en ijzer; 11Omdat zij wederspannig waren geweest tegen Gods geboden, en den raad des Allerhoogsten onwaardiglijk verworpen hadden. 12Waarom Hij hun het hart door zwarigheid vernederd heeft; zij zijn gestruikeld, en er was geen helper. 13Doch roepende tot den HEERE in de benauwdheid, die zij hadden, verloste Hij hen uit hun angsten. 14Hij voerde hen uit de duisternis en de schaduw des doods, en Hij brak hun banden. 15Laat hen voor den HEERE Zijn goedertierenheid loven, en Zijn wonderwerken voor de kinderen der mensen; 16Want Hij heeft de koperen deuren gebroken, en de ijzeren grendelen in stukken gehouwen. 17De zotten worden om den weg hunner overtreding, en om hun ongerechtigheden geplaagd; 18Hun ziel gruwelde van alle spijze, en zij waren tot aan de poorten des doods gekomen. 19Doch roepende tot den HEERE in de benauwdheid, die zij hadden, verloste Hij hen uit hun angsten. 20Hij zond Zijn woord uit, en heelde hen, en rukte hen uit hun kuilen. 21Laat hen voor den HEERE Zijn goedertierenheid loven, en Zijn wonderwerken voor de kinderen der mensen. 22En dat zij lofofferen offeren, en met gejuich Zijn werken vertellen. 23Die met schepen ter zee afvaren, handel doende op grote wateren; 24Die zien de werken des HEEREN, en Zijn wonderwerken in de diepte. 25Als Hij spreekt, zo doet Hij een stormwind opstaan, die haar golven omhoog verheft. 26Zij rijzen op naar den hemel; zij dalen neder tot in de afgronden; hun ziel versmelt van angst. 27Zij dansen en waggelen als een dronken man, en al hun wijsheid wordt verslonden. 28Doch roepende tot den HEERE in de benauwdheid, die zij hadden, zo voerde Hij hen uit hun angsten. 29Hij doet de storm stilstaan, zodat hun golven stilzwijgen. 30Dan zijn zij verblijd, omdat zij gestild zijn, en dat Hij hen tot de haven hunner begeerte geleid heeft. 31Laat hen voor den HEERE Zijn goedertierenheid loven, en Zijn wonderwerken voor de kinderen der mensen. 32En Hem verhogen in de gemeente des volks, en in het gestoelte der oudsten Hem roemen. 33Hij stelt de rivieren tot een woestijn, en watertochten tot dorstig land. 34Het vruchtbaar land tot zouten grond, om de boosheid dergenen, die daarin wonen. 35Hij stelt de woestijn tot een waterpoel, en het dorre land tot watertochten. 36En Hij doet de hongerigen aldaar wonen, en zij stichten een stad ter woning; 37En bezaaien akkers, en planten wijngaarden, die inkomende vrucht voortbrengen. 38En Hij zegent hen, zodat zij zeer vermenigvuldigen, en hun vee vermindert Hij niet. 39Daarna verminderen zij, en komen ten onder, door verdrukking, kwaad en droefenis. 40Hij stort verachting uit over de prinsen, en doet hen dwalen in het woeste, waar geen weg is. 41Maar Hij brengt den nooddruftige uit de verdrukking in een hoog vertrek, en maakt de huisgezinnen als kudden. 42De oprechten zien het, en zijn verblijd, maar alle ongerechtigheid stopt haar mond. 43Wie is wijs? Die neme deze dingen waar; en dat zij verstandelijk letten op de goedertierenheden des HEEREN.
