‘Give thanks unto YHVH, for THEY are benevolent,
for in the Cosmos is THEIR lovingkindness.’

—So let the redeemed of YHVH say, whom Hashem has redeemed from the hand of the adversary, and gathered them out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the sea. They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; they found no city of habitation. Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. Then they cried unto YHVH in their trouble, and Hashem delivered them out of their distress. And Hashem led them by a straight way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

Let them give thanks unto YHVH for his lovingkindness and for his wonder works to the descendants of Adam! For Hashem satisfied the longing soul and the hungry soul — they have been filled with good. Those sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron — because they rebelled against the words of El and condemned the counsel of Elyon. Therefore Elyon humbled their heart with travail. They stumbled and there was none to help. They cried unto YHVH in their trouble and Hashem saved them out of their distresses. Hashem brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death and broke their bonds in sunder.

Let them give thanks unto YHVH for his lovingkindness and for his wonder works to the children of humankind! For Hashem has broken the gates of brass and cut the bars of iron in sunder. Crazed because of the way of their transgression and afflicted because of their iniquities, their soul abhorred all manner of food and they drew near unto the gates of death. They cried unto YHVH in their trouble and Hashem rescued them from their distress. Hashem sent THEIR decree and healed them and delivered them from their graves.

Let them give thanks unto YHVH for his lovingkindness and for his wonder works to the children of humankind! Let them offer thanksgiving offerings and declare his works with singing. They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters — these saw the works of YHVH and his wonders in the deep. For Hashem commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves thereof. They ascended up to the heavens, they went down to the Deep. Their soul melted away because of trouble. They reeled to and fro and staggered like a drunken man and all their wisdom was swallowed up. They cried unto YHVH in their trouble and Hashem brought them out of their distress. Hashem made the storm calm so that the waves thereof were still. Then were they glad because they were quiet and Hashem led them unto their desired haven.

Let them give thanks unto YHVH for his lovingkindness and for his wonderful works to the children of humankind! Let them exalt Hashem also in the assembly of the people and praise Hashem in the seat of the elders. Hashem turns rivers into a wilderness and watersprings into a thirsty ground; a fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. Hashem turns a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into watersprings. There Hashem makes the hungry to dwell and they establish a city of habitation, sow fields, and plant vineyards which yield fruits of increase. Hashem blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly, and suffers not the animals in their care to decrease; they are [only] diminished and dwindle away through predation and sorrow. Hashem pours contempt upon princes and causes them to wander in the waste where there is no way. Yet Hashem sets the needy on high from affliction and makes their families like a flock. The upright see it and are glad; and all iniquity shuts its mouth. Whosoever is wise, let them observe these things and let them consider the lovingkindness of YHVH.
