those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,

3 those he gathered from the lands,

from east and west, from north and south.

4 Some wandered in desert wastelands,

finding no way to a city where they could settle.

5 They were hungry and thirsty,

and their lives ebbed away.

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

and he delivered them from their distress.

7 He led them by a straight way

to a city where they could settle.

8 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love

and his wonderful deeds for mankind,

9 for he satisfies the thirsty

and fills the hungry with good things.

1 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: For his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; 3 And gathered them 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 solitary way; They found no city to dwell in. 5 Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them. 6 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distresses. 7 And he led them forth by the right way, That they might go to a city of habitation. 8 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men! 9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, And filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
