Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, and his mercy endures for ever.
2. Let all those whom the Lord has redeemed proclaim that he redeemed them from the hand of the foe.
3. He gathered them out of the lands; from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
4. Some wandered in desert wastes; they found no way to city where they might dwell.
5. They were hungry and thirsty; their spirits languished within them.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, and his mercy endures for ever.
6. Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.
7. He put their feet on a straight path to go to a city where they might dwell.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, and his mercy endures for ever.
33. The Lord changed rivers into deserts, and water-springs into thirsty ground.
34. A fruitful land into salt flats, because of the wickedness of those who dwell there.
35. He changed deserts into pools of water and dry land into water-springs.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, and his mercy endures for ever.
36. He settled the hungry there, and they founded a city to dwell in.
37. They sowed fields and planted vineyards, and brought in a fruitful harvest.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, and his mercy endures for ever.
