ESVEnglish Standard Version

Some wandered in desert wastes,

finding no way to a city to dwell in;

hungry and thirsty,

their soul fainted within them.

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.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

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.

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.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

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.

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.

NLTNew Living Translation

Some wandered in the wilderness,

lost and homeless.

Hungry and thirsty,

they nearly died.

“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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

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.

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.

KJV 1900King James Version

They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way;

They found no city to dwell in.

Hungry and thirsty,

Their soul fainted in them.

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.
