1 O give thanks to the Lord, for he is gracious, ♦︎
for his steadfast love endures for ever.
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say this, ♦︎
those he redeemed from the hand of the enemy,
3 And gathered out of the lands
from the east and from the west, ♦︎
from the north and from the south.
4 Some went astray in desert wastes ♦︎
and found no path to a city to dwell in.
5 Hungry and thirsty, ♦︎
their soul was fainting within them.
6 So they cried to the Lord in their trouble ♦︎
and he delivered them from their distress.
7 He set their feet on the right way ♦︎
till they came to a city to dwell in.
8 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his goodness ♦︎
and the wonders he does for his children.
9 For he satisfies the longing soul ♦︎
and fills the hungry soul with good.
10 Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, ♦︎
bound fast in misery and iron,
11 For they had rebelled against the words of God ♦︎
and despised the counsel of the Most High.
12 So he bowed down their heart with heaviness; ♦︎
they stumbled and there was none to help them.
13 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, ♦︎
and he delivered them from their distress.
14 He brought them out of darkness and out of the shadow of death, ♦︎
and broke their bonds asunder.
15 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his goodness ♦︎
and the wonders he does for his children.
16 For he has broken the doors of bronze ♦︎
and breaks the bars of iron in pieces.
17 Some were foolish and took a rebellious way, ♦︎
and were plagued because of their wrongdoing.
18 Their soul abhorred all manner of food ♦︎
and drew near to the gates of death.
19 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, ♦︎
and he delivered them from their distress.
20 He sent forth his word and healed them, ♦︎
and saved them from destruction.
21 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his goodness ♦︎
and the wonders he does for his children.
22 Let them offer him sacrifices of thanksgiving ♦︎
and tell of his acts with shouts of joy.
23 Those who go down to the sea in ships ♦︎
and ply their trade in great waters,
24 These have seen the works of the Lord ♦︎
and his wonders in the deep.
25 For at his word the stormy wind arose ♦︎
and lifted up the waves of the sea.
26 They were carried up to the heavens
and down again to the deep; ♦︎
their soul melted away in their peril.
27 They reeled and staggered like a drunkard ♦︎
and were at their wits end.
28 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, ♦︎
and he brought them out of their distress.
29 He made the storm be still ♦︎
and the waves of the sea were calmed.
30 Then were they glad because they were at rest, ♦︎
and he brought them to the haven they desired.
31 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his goodness ♦︎
and the wonders he does for his children.
32 Let them exalt him in the congregation of the people ♦︎
and praise him in the council of the elders.

9 As they were coming down the mountain, he ordered them to tell no one about what they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what this rising from the dead could mean. 11Then they asked him, Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first? 12He said to them, Elijah is indeed coming first to restore all things. How then is it written about the Son of Man, that he is to go through many sufferings and be treated with contempt? 13But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written about him.
