⁴ Some of you were lost
in the scorching desert,
    far from a town.
⁵ You were hungry and thirsty
    and about to give up.
⁶ You were in serious trouble,
but you prayed to the Lord,
    and he rescued you.
⁷ At once he brought you
    to a town.
⁸ You should praise the Lord
    for his love
and for the wonderful things
    he does for all of us.
⁹ To everyone who is thirsty,
    he gives something to drink;
to everyone who is hungry,
    he gives good things to eat.

⁴³ Be wise! Remember this
and think about the kindness
    of the Lord.
