1. O give thanks unto Hashem, for He is tov; ki l'olam chasdo (for His mercy endureth forever).
2. Let the Geulei Hashem (the redeemed of Hashem) say so, whom He hath redeemed from the yad tzar;
3. And gathered them out of the lands, from the mizrach (east), and from the ma'arav (west), from the tzafon (north), and from the yam (sea).
4. They wandered in the midbar in a desolate region; they found no derech to an ir moshav (inhabited city).
5. Re'evim (hungry) and tzeme'im (thirsty), their nefesh fainted within them.
6. Then they cried unto Hashem in their tzoros, and He delivered them out of their distresses.
