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.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,

for his steadfast love endures forever!

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,

whom he has redeemed from trouble

and gathered in from the lands,

from the east and from the west,

from the north and from the south.

Some wandered in desert wastes,

finding no way to a city to dwell in;

hungry and thirsty,

their soul fainted within them.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;

his love endures forever.

Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story—

those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,

those he gathered from the lands,

from east and west, from north and south.

Some wandered in desert wastelands,

finding no way to a city where they could settle.

They were hungry and thirsty,

and their lives ebbed away.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;

his faithful love endures forever.

Let the redeemed of the Lord proclaim

that he has redeemed them from the power of the foe

and has gathered them from the lands—

from the east and the west,

from the north and the south.

Some wandered in the desolate wilderness,

finding no way to a city where they could live.

They were hungry and thirsty;

their spirits failed within them.

NLTNew Living Translation

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!

His faithful love endures forever.

Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out!

Tell others he has redeemed you from your enemies.

For he has gathered the exiles from many lands,

from east and west,

from north and south.

Some wandered in the wilderness,

lost and homeless.

Hungry and thirsty,

they nearly died.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good,

for his loyal love is forever.

Let the redeemed of Yahweh declare it,

those whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy

and gathered from the lands,

from east and from west, from north and from south.

They wandered in the wilderness, in a desert.

They could find no way to a city to inhabit.

Hungry and thirsty,

their soul grew faint within them.

KJV 1900King James Version

O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good:

For his mercy endureth for ever.

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,

Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

And gathered them out of the lands,

From the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.

They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way;

They found no city to dwell in.

Hungry and thirsty,

Their soul fainted in them.
