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 of the 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 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.
Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love
  and his wonderful deeds for men,
for he satisfies the thirsty
  and fills the hungry with good things.
