⁴⁸Blessed is Yahweh, the God of Israel,

from everlasting and to everlasting.

And let all the people say, “Amen!”

Praise Yah.^s

107Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good,

for his loyal love is forever.

²Let the redeemed of Yahweh declare^a it,

those whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy

³and gathered from the lands,

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

⁴They wandered in the wilderness, in a desert.

They could find no way^c to a city to inhabit.

⁵Hungry and thirsty,

their soul grew faint within them.

sHebrew hallelujah
aHebrew “say”
bHebrew “sea” (yam), which usually means “west” in a listing of directions. The word “south” is expected (Hebrew yamin). Either the MT was corrupted early (along with Isa 49:12; the LXX reads “sea” in both) or it looks to the bodies of waters to the south (see also the Targum)
cThe MT reads “way” with the previous line.
