O give
thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever.
Let the
redeemed of the LORD say so,
those
he 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 an inhabited town;
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,
until they reached an inhabited town.
Let
them thank the LORD for his steadfast love,
for his
wonderful works to humankind.
For he satisfies the thirsty,
and the hungry he fills with good things.
Let
those who are wise give heed to these things,
and
consider the steadfast love of the LORD.
