1  Oh ^kgive thanks to the Lord, for he is good,

for his steadfast love endures forever!

2  Let ^lthe redeemed of the Lord say so,

whom he has ^mredeemed from trouble¹

3  and ⁿgathered in from the lands,

from the east and from the west,

from the north and from the south.

4  Some ^owandered in desert wastes,

finding no way to a city to dwell in;

5  hungry and thirsty,

their soul fainted within them.

6  ^pThen they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

7  He led them by a straight way

till they reached a city to dwell in.

8  ^qLet them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,

for his wondrous works to the children of man!

9  For he ^rsatisfies the longing soul,

and ^sthe hungry soul he fills with good things.
