Psalms 107:1-9
1
Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
2
Let the redeemed by Yahweh say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
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 desert way. They found no city to live in.
5
Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6
Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses,
7
he led them also by a straight way, that they might go to a city to live in.
8
Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9
For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good.
