4 Some wandered in the desolate wilderness,

finding no way to a city where they could live.ab

5 They were hungry and thirsty;

their spirits failedA within them.a

6 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble;

he rescued them from their distress.b

7 He led them by the right path

to go to a city where they could live.c

8 Let them give thanks to the Lord

for his faithful love

and his wondrous works for all humanity.d

9 For he has satisfied the thirsty

and filled the hungry with good things.e
