| 1 | <V 106:1>Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is with every generation. | Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! | Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. | |
| 2 | <V 106:2>Let those who have been redeemed by the Lord say so: those whom he redeemed from the hand of the enemy and gathered from the regions, | Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble | Let the redeemed of the LORD tell their story— those he redeemed from the hand of the foe, | |
| 3 | <V 106:3>from the rising of the sun and its setting, from the north and from the sea. | and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south. | those he gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south. | |
| 4 | <V 106:4>They wandered into solitude in a waterless place. They did not find the way of the city to be their dwelling place. | Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in; | Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no way to a city where they could settle. | |
| 5 | <V 106:5>They were hungry, and they were thirsty. Their soul fainted within them. | hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them. | They were hungry and thirsty, and their lives ebbed away. | |
| 6 | <V 106:6>And they cried out to the Lord in tribulation, and he rescued them in their necessity. | Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. | Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. | |
| 7 | <V 106:7>And he led them in the right way, so that they might go forth to a city of habitation. | He led them by a straight way till they reached a city to dwell in. | He led them by a straight way to a city where they could settle. | |
| 8 | <V 106:8>Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men. | Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! | Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind, | |
| 9 | <V 106:9>For he has satisfied the empty soul, and he has satisfied the hungry soul with good things: | For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things. | for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things. | |
| 10 | <V 106:10>those sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death, shackled by extreme poverty and by iron. | Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and in irons, | Some sat in darkness, in utter darkness, prisoners suffering in iron chains, | |
| 11 | <V 106:11>For they exasperated the eloquence of God, and they irritated the deliberation of the Most High. | for they had rebelled against the words of God, and spurned the counsel of the Most High. | because they rebelled against God’s commands and despised the plans of the Most High. | |
| 12 | <V 106:12>And their heart was brought low with hardships. They were weakened, and there was no one to help them. | So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor; they fell down, with none to help. | So he subjected them to bitter labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help. | |

| 15 | <V 106:15>Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men. | Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! | Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind, | |
| 16 | <V 106:16>For he has crushed the gates of brass and broken the iron bars. | For he shatters the doors of bronze and cuts in two the bars of iron. | for he breaks down gates of bronze and cuts through bars of iron. | |
| 17 | <V 106:17>He has taken them up, from the way of their iniquity. For they were brought low, because of their injustices. | Some were fools through their sinful ways, and because of their iniquities suffered affliction; | Some became fools through their rebellious ways and suffered affliction because of their iniquities. | |
| 18 | <V 106:18>Their soul abhorred all food, and they drew near even to the gates of death. | they loathed any kind of food, and they drew near to the gates of death. | They loathed all food and drew near the gates of death. | |
| 19 | <V 106:19>And they cried out to the Lord in their tribulation, and he delivered them in their necessity. | Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. | Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. | |

| 22 | <V 106:22>And let them offer sacrifice with the sacrifice of praise, and let them announce his works in exultation. | And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, and tell of his deeds in songs of joy! | Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of his works with songs of joy. | |
| 23 | <V 106:23>Those who descend to the sea in ships, making their livelihood in the great waters: | Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters; | Some went out on the sea in ships; they were merchants on the mighty waters. | |
| 24 | <V 106:24>these have seen the works of the Lord and his wonders in the deep. | they saw the deeds of the LORD, his wondrous works in the deep. | They saw the works of the LORD, his wonderful deeds in the deep. | |
| 25 | <V 106:25>He spoke: and a windstorm stood up, and its waves were exalted. | For he commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea. | For he spoke and stirred up a tempest that lifted high the waves. | |
| 26 | <V 106:26>They ascend even to the heavens, and they descend even to the abyss. Their soul will waste away in distress. | They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their evil plight; | They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths; in their peril their courage melted away. | |
| 27 | <V 106:27>They were troubled, and they moved like a drunkard, and all their wisdom was consumed. | they reeled and staggered like drunken men and were at their wits’ end. | They reeled and staggered like drunkards; they were at their wits’ end. | |
| 28 | <V 106:28>And they cried out to the Lord in their tribulation, and he led them out of their distress. | Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. | Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress. | |
| 29 | <V 106:29>And he replaced the storm with a breeze, and its waves were stilled. | He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. | He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. | |
| 30 | <V 106:30>And they were joyful that it was stilled, and he led them into the haven that they desired. | Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven. | They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven. | |
| 31 | <V 106:31>Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men. | Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! | Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind. | |
| 32 | <V 106:32>And let them exalt him in the Church of the people, and praise him in the chair of the elders. | Let them extol him in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. | Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people and praise him in the council of the elders. | |
| 33 | <V 106:33>He has placed rivers in the desert and sources of water in dry places, | He turns rivers into a desert, springs of water into thirsty ground, | He turned rivers into a desert, flowing springs into thirsty ground, | |
| 34 | <V 106:34>a fruit-bearing land in the midst of brine, before the malice of those who dwell in it. | a fruitful land into a salty waste, because of the evil of its inhabitants. | and fruitful land into a salt waste, because of the wickedness of those who lived there. | |
| 35 | <V 106:35>He has placed a desert in the midst of pools of waters, and a land without water in the midst of sources of water. | He turns a desert into pools of water, a parched land into springs of water. | He turned the desert into pools of water and the parched ground into flowing springs; | |
| 36 | <V 106:36>And he has gathered the hungry together there, and they constructed a city of habitation. | And there he lets the hungry dwell, and they establish a city to live in; | there he brought the hungry to live, and they founded a city where they could settle. | |
| 37 | <V 106:37>And they sowed fields and planted vineyards, and they produced the fruit of nativity. | they sow fields and plant vineyards and get a fruitful yield. | They sowed fields and planted vineyards that yielded a fruitful harvest; | |
| 38 | <V 106:38>And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly. And he did not diminish their beasts of burden. | By his blessing they multiply greatly, and he does not let their livestock diminish. | he blessed them, and their numbers greatly increased, and he did not let their herds diminish. | |
| 39 | <V 106:39>And they became few, and they were afflicted by the tribulation of evils and of sorrow. | When they are diminished and brought low through oppression, evil, and sorrow, | Then their numbers decreased, and they were humbled by oppression, calamity and sorrow; | |
| 40 | <V 106:40>Contempt was poured over their leaders, and he caused them to wander in an impassable place, and not on the way. | he pours contempt on princes and makes them wander in trackless wastes; | he who pours contempt on nobles made them wander in a trackless waste. | |
| 41 | <V 106:41>And he helped the poor out of destitution, and he stationed families like sheep. | but he raises up the needy out of affliction and makes their families like flocks. | But he lifted the needy out of their affliction and increased their families like flocks. | |
| 42 | <V 106:42>The upright will see, and they will rejoice. And every iniquity will block its mouth. | The upright see it and are glad, and all wickedness shuts its mouth. | The upright see and rejoice, but all the wicked shut their mouths. | |
| 43 | <V 106:43>Who is wise and will keep these things? And who will understand the mercies of the Lord? | Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things; let them consider the steadfast love of the LORD. | Let the one who is wise heed these things and ponder the loving deeds of the LORD. | |
