Let the redeemed of the Lord tell it

(Matthew 8:23-27; Mark 4:35-41; Luke 8:22-25)
1
Give thanks to Yahweh because he always does good things for us! His faithful love for us lasts forever, as he has promised us!
2
Those whom Yahweh has saved should tell others that he has rescued them from their enemies.
3
He has gathered those of you who were exiled to many lands; he has gathered you together from the east and the west, from the north and from the south.
4
Some of those who returned from those countries wandered in the desert; they were lost and had no homes to live in.
5
They were hungry and thirsty, and they even collapsed in exhaustion.
6
When they were in trouble, they called out to Yahweh, and he rescued them from being distressed.
7
He led them along a straight road where they walked safely to cities in Canaan where they could live.
8
They should praise Yahweh for loving them faithfully and for the wonderful things that he does for people.
9
He gives thirsty people plenty of water to drink, and he gives hungry people plenty of good things to eat.
10
Some of them were in very dark prisons; they were prisoners, suffering because of chains fastened to their hands and feet.
11
They were in prison because they had rebelled against the message of God; they were there because they had despised the advice given by God, who is greater than all other gods.
12
That is why God made them suffer hardships so that they would no longer be proud; when they got into trouble, there was no one who would help them.
13
When they were in trouble, they called out to Yahweh, and he rescued them from being distressed.
14
He broke the chains that were on their hands and feet and brought them out of those very dark prisons.
15
He broke down the prison gates that were made of bronze; he cut through the prison bars that were made of iron.
16
They should praise Yahweh for loving them faithfully and for the wonderful things that he does for people.
17
Some of them foolishly rebelled against God, so they suffered for their sins.
18
They did not want to eat any food, and they almost died.
19
When they were in trouble, they called out to Yahweh, and he rescued them from being distressed.
20
When he commanded that they be healed, they were healed; he saved them from dying.
21
They should praise Yahweh for loving them faithfully and for the wonderful things that he does for people.
22
They should give offerings to him to show that they are thankful, and they should sing joyfully about the miracles that he has performed.
23
Some of them sailed in ships; they were selling things in cities far away.
24
As they were sailing, they also saw the miracles that Yahweh performed, the wonderful things that he did when they were on very deep seas.
25
He gave orders to the winds, and they became strong and stirred up high waves.
26
The ships in which they were sailing were tossed high in the air, and then they sank into the troughs between the high waves; then the sailors were terrified at the danger.
27
They stumbled about and staggered like drunken men, and they did not know what to do.
28
When they were in trouble, they called out to Yahweh, and he rescued them from being distressed.
29
He calmed the storm and he stilled the waves.
30
They were very glad when it became calm; and Yahweh brought them safely into a harbor as they wished.
31
They should praise Yahweh for loving them faithfully and for the wonderful things that he does for people.
32
They should praise him among the Israelite people when they have gathered together, and they should praise him in front of the leaders of the country.
33
Sometimes Yahweh causes rivers to become dry, with the result that the land becomes a wilderness, and springs of water become dry land.
34
Sometimes he causes land that has produced lots of crops to become salty wastelands, with the result that they do not produce crops. He does that because the people who live there are very wicked.
35
But sometimes he causes pools of water to appear in deserts, and he causes springs to flow in very dry ground.
36
He brings hungry people into that land, to live there and to build cities there.
37
They plant seeds in their fields, and they plant grapevines that produce large crops of grapes.
38
He blesses the people, and the women give birth to many children, and they have large herds of cattle.
39
When the number of people became smaller and they were humiliated by their enemies by being oppressed and caused to suffer,
40
Yahweh shows contempt for the leaders who oppress them, and makes them to wander in a wilderness where there are no roads.
41
But he rescues poor people from being in misery and causes their families to increase in number like flocks of sheep.
42
People who live rightly see God do these things, and they rejoice; wicked people hear about these things, too, but they have nothing to say against Yahweh in reply.
43
Those who are wise should think carefully about these things; they should consider all the things that Yahweh has done to show that he faithfully loves them.

Let the redeemed of the Lord tell it

(Matthew 8:23-27; Mark 4:35-41; Luke 8:22-25)
1
Give thanks to the LORD,(a) for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
2
Let the redeemed by the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
3
and gathered out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
4
They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way. They found no city to live in.
5
Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6
Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7
He led them also by a straight way, that they might go to a city to live in.
8
Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!
9
For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good.
10
Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron,
11
because they rebelled against the words of God,(b) and condemned the counsel of the Most High.
12
Therefore he brought down their heart with labor. They fell down, and there was no one to help.
13
Then they cried 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 away their chains.
15
Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!
16
For he has broken the gates of bronze, and cut through bars of iron.
17
Fools are afflicted because of their disobedience, and because of their iniquities.
18
Their soul abhors all kinds of food. They draw near to the gates of death.
19
Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, and he saves them out of their distresses.
20
He sends his word, and heals them, and delivers them from their graves.
21
Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!
22
Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his deeds with singing.
23
Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business in great waters,
24
these see the LORD’s deeds, and his wonders in the deep.
25
For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up its waves.
26
They mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths. Their soul melts away because of trouble.
27
They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.
28
Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, and he brings them out of their distress.
29
He makes the storm a calm, so that its waves are still.
30
Then they are glad because it is calm, so he brings them to their desired haven.
31
Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds for the children of men!
32
Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, and praise him in the seat of the elders.
33
He turns rivers into a desert, water springs into a thirsty ground,
34
and a fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
35
He turns a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into water springs.
36
There he makes the hungry live, that they may prepare a city to live in,
37
sow fields, plant vineyards, and reap the fruits of increase.
38
He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly. He doesn’t allow their livestock to decrease.
39
Again, they are diminished and bowed down through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
40
He pours contempt on princes, and causes them to wander in a trackless waste.
41
Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction, and increases their families like a flock.
42
The upright will see it, and be glad. All the wicked will shut their mouths.
43
Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things. They will consider the loving kindnesses of the LORD.
