3
And gathered out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.
4
They wandered in the wilderness in a desolate way; They found no city to dwell in.
5
Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them.
6
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, And He delivered them out of their distresses.
7
And He led them forth by the right way, That they might go to a city for a dwelling place.
8
Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
9
For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness.
10
Those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Bound in affliction and irons--
11
Because they rebelled against the words of God, And despised the counsel of the Most High,
12
Therefore He brought down their heart with labor; They fell down, and there was none to help.
13
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, And He saved them out of their distresses.
