 1  Praise God, for he is good: for still
       his mercies lasting be.
 2  Let God's redeemed say so, whom he
       from th' en'my's hand did free;
 3  And gathered them out of the lands,
       from north, south, east, and west.
 4  They strayed in desert's pathless way,
       no city found to rest.

 5  For thirst and hunger in them faints
 6     their soul. When straits them press,
    They cry unto the Lord, and he
       them frees from their distress.
 7  Them also in a way to walk
       that right is he did guide,
    That they might to a city go,
       wherein they might abide.

 8  O that men to the Lord would give
       praise for his goodness then,
    And for his works of wonder done
       unto the sons of men!
 9  For he the soul that longing is
       doth fully satisfy;
    With goodness he the hungry soul
       doth fill abundantly.

10  Such as shut up in darkness deep,
       and in death's shade abide,
    Whom strongly hath affliction bound,
       and irons fast have tied:
11  Because against the words of God
       they wrought rebelliously,
    And they the counsel did contemn
       of him that is most High:

12  Their heart he did bring down with grief,
       they fell, no help could have.
13  In trouble then they cried to God,
       he them from straits did save.
14   He out of darkness did them bring,
        and from death's shade them take;
     These bands, wherewith they had been bound,
        asunder quite he brake.

15  O that men to the Lord would give
       praise for his goodness then,
    And for his works of wonder done
       unto the sons of men!
16  Because the mighty gates of brass
       in pieces he did tear,
    By him in sunder also cut
       the bars of iron were.

17  Fools, for their sin, and their offense,
       do sore affliction bear;
18  All kind of meat their soul abhors;
       they to death's gates draw near.
19  In grief they cry to God; he saves
       them from their miseries.
20  He sends his word, them heals, and them
       from their destructions frees.

21  O that men to the Lord would give
       praise for his goodness then,
    And for his works of wonder done
       unto the sons of men!
22  And let them sacrifice to him
       off'rings of thankfulness;
    And let them show abroad his works
       in songs of joyfulness.

23  Who go to sea in ships, and in
       great waters trading be,
24  Within the deep these men God's works
       and his great wonders see.
25  For he commands, and forth in haste
       the stormy tempest flies,
    Which makes the sea with rolling waves
       aloft to swell and rise.

26  They mount to heav'n, then to the depths
       they do go down again;
    Their soul doth faint and melt away
       with trouble and with pain.
27  They reel and stagger like one drunk,
       at their wit's end they be:
28  Then they to God in trouble cry,
       who them from straits doth free.

29  The storm is changed into a calm
       at his command and will;
    So that the waves, which raged before,
       now quiet are and still.
30  Then are they glad, because at rest
       and quiet now they be:
    So to the haven he them brings,
       which they desired to see.

31  O that men to the Lord would give
       praise for his goodness then,
    And for his works of wonder done
       unto the sons of men!
32  Among the people gatherèd
       let them exalt his name;
    Among assembled elders spread
       his most renownèd fame.

33  He to dry land turns water-springs,
       and floods to wilderness;
34  For sins of those that dwell therein,
       fat land to barrenness.
35  The burnt and parchèd wilderness
       to water-pools he brings;
    The ground that was dried up before
       he turns to water-springs:

36  And there, for dwelling, he a place
       doth to the hungry give,
    That they a city may prepare
       commodiously to live.
37  There sow they fields, and vineyards plant,
       to yield fruits of increase.
38  His blessing makes them multiply,
       lets not their beasts decrease.

39  Again they are diminishèd,
       and very low brought down,
    Through sorrow and afflïction,
       and great opprëssion.
40  He upon princes pours contempt,
       and causeth them to stray,
    And wander in a wilderness,
       wherein there is no way.

41  Yet setteth he the poor on high
       from all his miseries,
    And he, much like unto a flock,
       doth make him families.
42  They that are righteous shall rejoice,
       when they the same shall see;
    And, as ashamèd, stop her mouth
       shall all iniquity.

43  Whoso is wise, and will these things
       observe, and them record,
    Ev'n they shall understand the love
       and kindness of the Lord.


OTHER HYMNS with the SAME TUNE:

•   Psalm 3   · 1 O Lord, how are my foes increased? against me...
•   Psalm 51   · 1 After thy loving-kindness, Lord, have mercy...


BIBLE PASSAGE:

1 ¶ O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
10 ¶ Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
13 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
15 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
17 ¶ Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.
20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
21 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
23 ¶ They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
24 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.
25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.
28 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
31 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33 ¶ He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;
34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.
36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39 Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.
42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
