ESVEnglish Standard Version

Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

He led them by a straight way

till they reached a city to dwell in.

Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,

for his wondrous works to the children of man!

For he satisfies the longing soul,

and the hungry soul he fills with good things.

Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,

prisoners in affliction and in irons,

for they had rebelled against the words of God,

and spurned the counsel of the Most High.

So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor;

they fell down, with none to help.

Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

He led them by a straight way

to a city where they could settle.

Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love

and his wonderful deeds for mankind,

for he satisfies the thirsty

and fills the hungry with good things.

Some sat in darkness, in utter darkness,

prisoners suffering in iron chains,

because they rebelled against God’s commands

and despised the plans of the Most High.

So he subjected them to bitter labor;

they stumbled, and there was no one to help.

Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he saved them from their distress.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble;

he rescued them from their distress.

He led them by the right path

to go to a city where they could live.

Let them give thanks to the Lord

for his faithful love

and his wondrous works for all humanity.

For he has satisfied the thirsty

and filled the hungry with good things.

Others sat in darkness and gloom—

prisoners in cruel chains—

because they rebelled against God’s commands

and despised the counsel of the Most High.

He broke their spirits with hard labor;

they stumbled, and there was no one to help.

Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble;

he saved them from their distress.

NLTNew Living Translation

“Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble,

and he rescued them from their distress.

He led them straight to safety,

to a city where they could live.

Let them praise the Lord for his great love

and for the wonderful things he has done for them.

For he satisfies the thirsty

and fills the hungry with good things.

Some sat in darkness and deepest gloom,

imprisoned in iron chains of misery.

They rebelled against the words of God,

scorning the counsel of the Most High.

That is why he broke them with hard labor;

they fell, and no one was there to help them.

“Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble,

and he saved them from their distress.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Then they cried out to Yahweh in their trouble.

He delivered them from their distresses

and led them by a straight way

to get to a city to inhabit.

Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his loyal love,

and his wonderful deeds for the children of humankind,

for he satisfies the longing soul,

and the hungry soul he fills with good.

Those who sat in darkness and gloom,

prisoners of misery and iron—

because they rebelled against the words of God

and spurned the counsel of the Most High,

he therefore humbled their heart with trouble.

They stumbled and there was no helper.

Then they called to Yahweh for help in their trouble;

he saved them from their distresses.

KJV 1900King James Version

Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble,

And he delivered them out of their distresses.

And he led them forth by the right way,

That they might go to a city of habitation.

Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness,

And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

For he satisfieth the longing soul,

And filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,

Being bound in affliction and iron;

Because they rebelled against the words of God,

And contemned the counsel of the most High:

Therefore he brought down their heart with labour;

They fell down, and there was none to help.

Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble,

And he saved them out of their distresses.
