They cried out in their trouble
Thank the LORD, because he's good, because his mercy goes on forever. Let those the LORD has redeemed say so — those he's redeemed from the hand of the enemy, and gathered them out of the lands, from the east and the west, from the north and the south. They wandered in the wilderness on a wasted road. They found no city to live in. Hungry and thirsty, their soul was fainting in them. Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. He led them by the right way, so they could go to a city to live in. Oh, that people would praise the LORD for his goodness and for his wonderful works to humanity! Because he fills up the thirsty soul and fills the hungry soul with good. Those sitting in the dark and the shadow of death, tied up in trouble and iron — because they rebelled against the words of God and despised the counsel of the Most High. So he brought their heart low with hard work. They fell over and there was nobody to help. Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of the dark and the shadow of death and snapped their chains. Oh, that people would praise the LORD for his goodness and for his wonderful works to humanity! He has broken the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron in two. Fools, because of the way they rebelled and because of their wrongdoing, are afflicted. Their soul loathes every kind of food, and they come near the gates of death. Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. He sent his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Oh, that people would praise the LORD for his goodness and for his wonderful works to humanity! And let them offer the sacrifices of thanks and declare what he's done with singing.
Thank the Lord, because he's good, because his faithful love goes on forever. Let the ones the Lord has bought back say so — the ones he's bought back from the hand of the enemy, and gathered out of the lands, from the east and the west, from the north and the south. They wandered in the wilderness on a wasted road. They found no town to live in. Hungry and thirsty, their soul was fainting in them. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he got them out of their hard places. And he led them the straight way, so they could go to a town to live in. Let them thank the Lord for his faithful love and for his wonders towards the sons of men. Because he fills up the thirsty soul and fills the hungry soul with good. The ones sitting in the dark and the shadow of death, tied up in trouble and iron — because they rebelled against the words of God and made nothing of the counsel of the Most High. So he brought their heart low with hard work. They fell over and there was nobody to help. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their hard places. He brought them out of the dark and the shadow of death and snapped their chains. Let them thank the Lord for his faithful love and for his wonders towards the sons of men. Because he's broken the gates of bronze and cut through the bars of iron. Fools, because of the way they rebelled and because of their wrongdoing, are afflicted. Their soul loathes every kind of food, and they come near the gates of death. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their hard places. He sent his word and healed them and got them out of the pits they were in. Let them thank the Lord for his faithful love and for his wonders towards the sons of men. And let them offer the sacrifices of thanks and tell out what he's done with singing.
O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron; Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High: Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help. Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder. Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.

Those who go down to the sea in ships
Those who go down to the sea in ships, doing their business in great waters — They see the works of the LORD and his wonders in the deep. Because he gives the order and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up its waves. They go up to the heavens and go down again to the deeps. Their soul melts because of the trouble. They reel this way and that and stagger like a drunk, and they're at their wits' end. Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, and he brings them out of their distresses. He makes the storm still, so its waves be still. Then they're glad because they've gone quiet. And he brings them to the harbour they wanted. Oh, that people would praise the LORD for his goodness and for his wonderful works to humanity! Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people and praise him where the elders sit. He turns rivers into a wilderness and springs of water into dry ground — A fruitful land into salt flats, because of the wickedness of those living in it. He turns the wilderness into a pool of water and dry ground into springs of water. And that's where he settles the hungry, so they can established a city to live in, And sow fields and plant vineyards that give a harvest of fruit. He blesses them too, so they multiply greatly, and he doesn't let their cattle diminish. But then they diminish and are brought low through crushing, trouble and grief. He pours contempt on nobles and makes them wander in a wasteland with no track. Yet he sets the poor on high from suffering and makes their families like a flock. The upright will see it and be glad, and all wrongdoing will shut its mouth. Whoever is wise will keep these things in mind, and they'll understand the mercy of the LORD.

They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit’s end. Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground; A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings. And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation; And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase. He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease. Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow. He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way. Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock. The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
