⁴ Some wandered in desert wastes,
    finding no way to an inhabited town;^(D)
5 hungry and thirsty,
    their soul fainted within them.
⁶ Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he delivered them from their distress;^(E)
7 he led them by a straight way,
    until they reached an inhabited town.^(F)
8 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
    for his wonderful works to humankind.^(G)
9 For he satisfies the thirsty,
    and the hungry he fills with good things.^(H)

¹⁰ Some sat in darkness and in gloom,
    prisoners in misery and in irons,^(I)
11 for they had rebelled against the words of God
    and spurned the counsel of the Most High.^(J)
12 Their hearts were bowed down with hard labor;
    they fell down, with no one to help.^(K)
13 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he saved them from their distress;^(L)
14 he brought them out of darkness and gloom,
    and broke their bonds apart.^(M)
15 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
    for his wonderful works to humankind.^(N)
16 For he shatters the doors of bronze
    and cuts in two the bars of iron.^(O)

²³ Some went down to the sea in ships,
    doing business on the mighty waters;
²⁴ they saw the deeds of the Lord,
    his wondrous works in the deep.
²⁵ For he commanded and raised the stormy wind,
    which lifted up the waves of the sea.^(A)
26 They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths;
    their courage melted away in their calamity;^(B)
27 they reeled and staggered like drunkards
    and were at their wits’ end.^(C)
28 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he brought them out from their distress;
²⁹ he made the storm be still,
    and the waves of the sea were hushed.^(D)
30 Then they were glad because they had quiet,
    and he brought them to their desired haven.
³¹ Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
    for his wonderful works to humankind.^(E)
32 Let them extol him in the congregation of the people
    and praise him in the assembly of the elders.^(F)
