[1]Confesse you [it] vnto God: for he is gratious, and his mercy endureth for euer[2]Let such as God did redeme speake: whom he hath redeemed from the hande of the enemie[3]And whom he gathered out of the landes: from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south[4](107:4a) They went astray out of the way in solitarines [and] in wildernes, and found no citie to dwell in[5](107:4b) they were hungry and thirstie, their soule fainted in them[6](107:5) And they cry vnto god in their trouble: who deliuereth them from their distresse[7](107:6) And he leadeth them foorth by the right way: that they might go to the citie inhabited[8](107:7) O that men would confesse vnto God his louyng kindnesse: and his marueylous actes [done] to the chyldren of men[9](107:8) For he satisfieth the greedie soule: and filleth the hungry soule with goodnes[10](107:9) Suche as sit in darknesse and in the shadowe of death: beyng fast bounde in miserie and iron[11](107:10) Because they went from the wordes of the Lorde: and lightly regarded the counsayle of the most highest[12](107:11) Therfore he humbled their heart thorowe heauines: they fall downe, and there is none to helpe them[13](107:12) And they cry vnto god in their trouble: who deliuereth the out of their distresse[14](107:13) For he bringeth them out of darknesse and out of the shadowe of death: and breaketh their bondes in sunder[15](107:14) O that men would confesse vnto God: his louing kindnes and his marueylous actes [done] to the chyldren of men[16](107:15) For he breaketh the gates of brasse: & smyteth the barres of iron in sunder[17](107:16) Foolish men are plagued for their mischeuous wayes: & for their wickednes[18](107:17) Their soule abhorreth all maner of meate: and they be euen harde at deathes doore[19](107:18) And they crye vnto God in their trouble: who deliuereth them out of their distresse[20](107:19) he sendeth his worde & healeth them: and he maketh them to scape safe from their corruptnes[21](107:20) O that men would confesse vnto God: his louing kindnes and his marueylous actes [done] to the chyldren of men[22](107:21) And that they would offer [vnto him] sacrifices of thankes geuing: and set foorth in wordes his workes with a ioyfull noyse[23](107:22a) Such as go downe to the sea in ships and folowe their busines in great waters[24](107:22b) they see the workes of God, and his wonders in the deepe[25](107:23) For he commaundeth and causeth a stormie winde to arise: and he lifteth vp on high his waues[26](107:24) [Then] they ascende vp to heauen, and come downe agayne to the deepe: so that their soule melteth away through trouble[27](107:25) They reele to and fro, and they do stacker like a drunken man: and their wysdome fayleth them[28](107:26) And they cry vnto god in their trouble: who deliuereth the out of their distresse[29](107:27) For he maketh the storme to ceasse: so that the waues therof are still[30](107:28) Then be they glad because they are at rest: and he bringeth them to the hauen where they woulde be[31](107:29) O that men would confesse vnto god: his louyng kyndnes and meruaylous actes [done] to the chyldren of men[32](107:30) And that they would exalt him in the congregation of the people: and prayse him in the consistorie of the aged[33](107:31) He turneth fluddes into a wildernes: and waterspringes into a drye grounde[34](107:32) He [maketh] a fruitfull grounde barren: for the wickednes of them that dwell therein[35](107:33) [Contrary] he reduceth a wyldernes into a standing water: and a drye ground into water springes[36](107:34) And he setteth there the hungry: and they buylde them a citie to dwell in[37](107:35) And they sowe their lande and plant vineyardes: and they yelde [vnto them] aboundant store of fruites[38](107:36) He blesseth them, so that they multiplie exceedingly: and he suffereth not their cattle to decrease[39](107:37) But [when they do fall from God,] they are diminished & brought low: through oppression, calamitie, & griefe of minde[40](107:38) He bringeth princes into contempt: & he maketh them to wander in a wildernesse where there is no way at all[41](107:39) Yet he exalteth the poore out of miserie: and geueth him housholdes equall to flockes of cattell[42](107:40) The righteous will marke [this] and reioyce: and the mouth of all wickednesse shalbe stopped[43](107:41) Whosoeuer is wyse, he wyll both obserue these thinges: and also well consider the louing kindnesse of God
