3 and gathered in from the lands,

from the east and from the west,

from the north and from the south.

4 Some wandered in desert wastes,

finding no way to a city to dwell in;

5 hungry and thirsty,

their soul fainted within them.

6 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress;

7 he led them by a straight way,

till they reached a city to dwell in.

8 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,

for his wonderful works to the sons of men!

9 For he satisfies him who is thirsty,

and the hungry he fills with good things.
