12
Therefore He brought down their heart with labor; They fell down, and there was none to help.
13
Then they cried out to 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 broke their chains in pieces.
15
Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
16
For He has broken the gates of bronze, And cut the bars of iron in two.
17
Fools, because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.
18
Their soul abhorred all manner of food, And they drew near to the gates of death.
19
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, And He saved them out of their distresses.
20
He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.
21
Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
22
Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare His works with rejoicing.
23
Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business on great waters,
24
They see the works of the Lord, And His wonders in the deep.
25
For He commands and raises the stormy wind, Which lifts up the waves of the sea.
26
They mount up to the heavens, They go down again to the depths; Their soul melts 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 out to the Lord in their trouble, And He brings them out of their distresses.
29
He calms the storm, So that its waves are still.
30
Then they are glad because they are quiet; So He guides them to their desired haven.
31
Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
32
Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people, And praise Him in the company of the elders.
