1 "Give thanks to the LORD because he is good, because his faithful love lasts forever!"
1
O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever.
2 That's what those who are redeemed by the LORD say, the ones God redeemed from the power of their enemies,
2
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, those he redeemed from trouble
3 the ones God gathered from various countries, from east and west, north and south.
3
and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
4 Some of the redeemed had wandered into the desert, into the wasteland. They couldn't find their way to a city or town.
4
Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to an inhabited town;
5 They were hungry and thirsty; their lives were slipping away.
5
hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them.
6 So they cried out to the LORD in their distress, and God delivered them from their desperate circumstances.
6
Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress;
7 God led them straight to human habitation.
7
he led them by a straight way, until they reached an inhabited town.
