Alleluia. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy [endures] for ever.
2 Ka ndị niile Onyenwe anyị gbapụtara kwuo otu a, ndị niile ọ gbapụtara site nʼaka onye kpọrọ ha asị,
Let them say [so] who have been redeemed by the Lord, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3 ndị ọ kpọlatara site nʼala niile dị iche iche, site nʼọwụwa anyanwụ na ọdịda anyanwụ, site nʼugwu na ndịda.
and gathered them out of the countries, from the east, and west, and north, and south.
4 Ụfọdụ wagharịrị nʼọzara, ala nke tọgbọrọ nʼefu, ha enweghị ike ịchọta ụzọ nke ga-eduba ha nʼobodo ebe ha ga-ebi.
They wandered in the wilderness in a dry land; they found no way to a city of habitation.
5 Agụụ gụrụ ha, akpịrị kpọkwara ha nkụ, olileanya gwụrụ ha nʼobi.
Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6 Mgbe ahụ, ha kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị, nʼime nsogbu ha, ọ napụtakwara ha site na mkpagbu ha niile.
Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

And he guided them into a straight path, that they might go to a city of habitation.

Let them acknowledge to the Lord his mercies, and his wonderful works to the children of men.

For he satisfies the empty soul, and fills the hungry [soul] with good things,
10 Ụfọdụ nọdụrụ ala nʼọchịchịrị na nʼọnọdụ oke ihe mwute nke obi, ndị nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ na-ata ahụhụ ndị e ji mkpọrọ igwe kee ha agbụ,
[even] them that sit in darkness and the shadow of death, fettered in poverty and iron;
11 nʼihi na ha nupuru isi megide okwu niile nke Chineke ma lelikwaa ndụmọdụ niile nke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu.
because they rebelled against the words of God, and provoked the counsel of the Most High.
12 Nʼihi ya, Chineke mere ka ha hụjuo anya site nʼịdọgbu onwe ha nʼọrụ, ha sụrụ ngọngọ daa, ma ọ dịghị onye ọbụla nyeere ha aka ibilite ọtọ.

Let them acknowledge to the Lord his mercies, and his wonders to the children of men.

For he broke to pieces the brazen gates, and crushed the iron bars.
17 Ụfọdụ ghọrọ ndị nzuzu site na nnupu isi taakwa ahụhụ nʼihi njehie ha niile.
He helped them out of the way of their iniquity; for they were brought low because of their iniquities.
18 Ihe oriri ọbụla ghọọrọ ha ihe rụrụ arụ ha bịakwara ọnụ ụzọ ama ọnwụ nso.
Their soul abhorred all meat; and they drew near to the gates of death.

23 Ụfọdụ ji ụgbọ mmiri na-ejegharị nʼelu oke osimiri; ha bụ ndị na-azụ ahịa ma na-ebugharịkwa ngwa ahịa nʼelu oke osimiri.
They that go down to the sea in ships, doing business in many waters;

these [men] have seen the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.
25 Nʼihi na o kwuru okwu mere ka oke ifufe kuo nke buliri ebili mmiri elu.
He speaks, and the stormy wind arises, and its waves are lifted up.
26 Ha bụ ndị e buliri nnọọ ezigbo elu, ma budatakwa ruo ogbu mmiri niile; nʼọnọdụ ihe egwu ahụ, obi lọrọ ha mmiri.
They go up to the heavens, and go down to the depths; their soul melts because of troubles.

33 Ọ na-eme ka iyi ghọọ ọzara; na-emekwa ka ebe mmiri si asọpụta ghọọ ala kpọrọ nkụ.
He turns rivers into a desert, and streams of water into a dry land;
34 Ọ na-eme ka ala na-amị mkpụrụ hiri nne ghọọ ọzara, nʼihi ajọ omume nke ndị bi nʼime ya.
a fruitful land into saltness, for the wickedness of them that dwell in it.

Again they become few, and are brought low, by the pressure of evils and pain.

Who is wise, and will observe these things, and understand the mercies of the Lord?
