1Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, For His mercy is everlasting. 2The redeemed of the Lord shall say so, Those whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy And gathered from the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south. 4They wandered in the wilderness in a desert region; They did not find a way to an inhabited city. 5They were hungry and thirsty; Their souls felt weak within them.
