Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
Let the redeemed of the LORD say this-- those he redeemed from
the hand ofthe foe,those he gathered from the lands, from east and
west, from north and south.
Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no way to a city whe
re they could settle. They were hungry and thirsty, and their lives eb
bed 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 whe
re they could settle.
Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his won
der ful deedsfor men,for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry w
ring in ron chains,for they had rebelled against the words of God and
des pised the counsel 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.He brought them out of darkness and the deepest
gloom and broke away their chains.Let them give thanks to the LORD
for hisunfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men,for he breaks
down gates of bronze and cuts through bars of iron.Some became
fools through their rebellious ways and suffered affliction because of
their iniquities.They loathed all food and drew near the gates of death.

Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from
their distress.He sent forth his word and healed them; he rescued them
from the grave.Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for men.
Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of his with songs of joy
