Psalm 106:48–107:9

^48*Praise the Lord, the God of Israel;

praise him now and for ever!

Let everyone say, “Amen!”

Praise the Lord!

BOOK FIVE

In Praise of God’s Goodness

107^*“Give thanks to the Lord,

because he is good;

his love is eternal!”

²Repeat these words in praise to the Lord,

all you whom he has saved.

He has rescued you from your enemies ³and has brought you back from foreign countries,

from east and west, from north and south.ⁿ

⁴Some wandered in the trackless desert

and could not find their way to a city to live in.

⁵They were hungry and thirsty

and had given up all hope.

⁶Then in their trouble they called to the Lord,

and he saved them from their distress.

⁷He led them by a straight road

to a city where they could live.

⁸They must thank the Lord for his constant love,

for the wonderful things he did for them.

⁹He satisfies those who are thirsty

and fills the hungry with good things.
