5Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them. 6Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distresses, He led them also by a straight way, That they might go to a city of habitation. 8Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men! 9For he satisfieth the longing soul, And the hungry soul he filleth with good.
