1 O give thanks to the Lord, for he is gracious, ♦︎
for his steadfast love endures for ever.
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say this, ♦︎
those he redeemed from the hand of the enemy,
3 And gathered out of the lands
from the east and from the west, ♦︎
from the north and from the south.
4 Some went astray in desert wastes ♦︎
and found no path to a city to dwell in.
5 Hungry and thirsty, ♦︎
their soul was fainting within them.
6 So they cried to the Lord in their trouble ♦︎
and he delivered them from their distress.
7 He set their feet on the right way ♦︎
till they came to a city to dwell in.
8 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his goodness ♦︎
and the wonders he does for his children.
9 For he satisfies the longing soul ♦︎
and fills the hungry soul with good.
10 Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, ♦︎
bound fast in misery and iron,
11 For they had rebelled against the words of God ♦︎
and despised the counsel of the Most High.
12 So he bowed down their heart with heaviness; ♦︎
they stumbled and there was none to help them.
13 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, ♦︎
and he delivered them from their distress.
14 He brought them out of darkness and out of the shadow of death, ♦︎
and broke their bonds asunder.
15 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his goodness ♦︎
and the wonders he does for his children.
16 For he has broken the doors of bronze ♦︎
and breaks the bars of iron in pieces.
