BOOK 5

The Lord Delivers Men from Manifold Troubles.

107 Oh (A)give thanks to the Lord, for (B)He is good,
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
Let (C)the redeemed of the Lord say so,
Whom He has (D)redeemed from the hand of the adversary
And (E)gathered from the lands,
From the east and from the west,
From the north and from the [a]south.

They (F)wandered in the wilderness in a [b]desert region;
They did not find a way to [c]an inhabited (G)city.
They were hungry [d]and thirsty;
Their (H)soul fainted within them.
Then they (I)cried out to the Lord in their trouble;
He delivered them out of their distresses.
He led them also by a [e](J)straight way,
To go to [f](K)an inhabited city.
(L)Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness,
And for His [g]wonders to the sons of men!
For He has (M)satisfied the [h]thirsty soul,
And the (N)hungry soul He has filled with what is good.
