7. He led them by a straight waytill they reached a city to dwell in.
8. Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,for his wondrous works to the children of man!
9. For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things.
10. Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,prisoners in affliction and in irons,
11. for they had rebelled against the words of God,and spurned the counsel of the Most High.

13. Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,and he delivered them from their distress.

15. Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,for his wondrous works to the children of man!
16. For he shatters the doors of bronzeand cuts in two the bars of iron.
17. Some were fools through their sinful ways,and because of their iniquities suffered affliction;
18. they loathed any kind of food,and they drew near to the gates of death.
19. Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,and he delivered them from their distress.
20. He sent out his word and healed them,and delivered them from their destruction.
21. Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,for his wondrous works to the children of man!
