ss: and
declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!
For he satisfieth the empty soul: and filleth the hungry soul with
goodness.
Such as sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: being fast
bound in misery and iron;
Because they rebelled against the words of the Lord: and lightly
regarded the counsel of the most Highest;
He also brought down their heart through heaviness: they fell
down, and there was none to help them up.
So when they cried unto the Lord in their trouble: he delivered
them out of their distress.
For he brought them out of darkness, and out of the shadow of
death: and brake their bonds in sunder.
O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness: and
declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!
For he hath broken the gates of brass: and smitten the bars of
iron in sunder.
Foolish men are plagued for their offence: and because of their
wickedness.
Their soul abhorred all manner of meat: and they were even hard
at death's door.
So when they cried unto the Lord in their trouble: he delivered
them out of their distress.
He sent his word, and healed them: and they were saved from their
destruction.
O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness: and
declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!
That they would offer unto him the sacrifice of thanksgiving:
and tell out his works with gladness!
They that go down to the sea in ships: and occupy their business
in great waters;
These men see the works of the Lord: and his wonders in the deep.
For at his word the stormy wind ariseth: which lifteth up the
waves thereof.
They are carried up to the heaven, and down again to the deep:
their soul melteth away because of the trouble.
They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man: and are at
their wits end.
So when they cry unto the Lord in their trouble: he delivereth
them out of their distress.
For he maketh the storm to cease: so that the waves thereof are
still.
Then are they glad, because they are at rest: and so he bringeth
them unto the haven where they would be.
O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness: and
declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!
That they would exalt him also in the congregation of the people:
and praise him in the seat of the elders!
Who turneth the floods into a wilderness: and drieth up the
water-springs.
A fruitful
