3. and gathered from foreign lands,from east and west,from north and south.
4. They wandered through the wilderness on a desert road;they found no city in which to live.
5. They were hungry and thirsty;they fainted from exhaustion.
6. They cried out to the Lord in their distress;he delivered them from their troubles.
7. He led them on a level road,that they might find a city in which to live.
8. Let them give thanks to the Lord for his loyal love,and for the amazing things he has done for people!
9. For he has satisfied those who thirst,and those who hunger he has filled with food.
10. They sat in utter darkness,bound in painful iron chains,
11. because they had rebelled against God’s commands,and rejected the instructions of the sovereign king.
12. So he used suffering to humble them;they stumbled and no one helped them up.
13. They cried out to the Lord in their distress;he delivered them from their troubles.
14. He brought them out of the utter darkness,and tore off their shackles.
15. Let them give thanks to the Lord for his loyal love,and for the amazing things he has done for people!
