Let all those redeemed by the Eternal—
    those rescued from times of deep trouble—join in giving thanks.
He has gathered them across the earth,
    from east and west,
    from [north and south].[a]

Some drifted around in the desert
    and found no place where they could live.
Their bellies growled with hunger; their mouths were dry with thirst;
    their souls grew weak and weary.
In their distress, they called out to the Eternal,
    and He saved them from their misery.
He showed them the best path; then He led them down the right road
    until they arrived at an inhabited town.
May they erupt with praise and give thanks to the Eternal
    in honor of His loyal love
And all the wonders He has performed for humankind!
He has quenched their thirst,
    and He has satisfied their hunger with what is good.

  1. 107:3 Hebrew manuscripts read, “and the sea.”

Let the redeemed(A) of the Lord tell their story—
    those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,
those he gathered(B) from the lands,
    from east and west, from north and south.[a]

Some wandered in desert(C) wastelands,
    finding no way to a city(D) where they could settle.
They were hungry(E) and thirsty,(F)
    and their lives ebbed away.
Then they cried out(G) to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he delivered them from their distress.
He led them by a straight way(H)
    to a city(I) where they could settle.
Let them give thanks(J) to the Lord for his unfailing love(K)
    and his wonderful deeds(L) for mankind,
for he satisfies(M) the thirsty
    and fills the hungry with good things.(N)

  1. Psalm 107:3 Hebrew north and the sea

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.

They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.

Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,
And (A)gathered out of the lands,
From the east and from the west,
From the north and from the south.

They found no city to dwell in.
Hungry and thirsty,
Their soul fainted in them.

And He delivered them out of their distresses.
And He led them forth by the (D)right way,
That they might go to a city for a dwelling place.
(E)Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
