Psalm 107:1-9, 43

1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, *

and his mercy endures for ever.

2 Let all those whom the LORD has redeemed proclaim *

that he redeemed them from the hand of the foe.

3 He gathered them out of the lands; *

from the east and from the west,

from the north and from the south.

4 Some wandered in desert wastes; *

they found no way to a city where they might dwell.

5 They were hungry and thirsty; *

their spirits languished within them.

6 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, *

and he delivered them from their distress.

7 He put their feet on a straight path *

to go to a city where they might dwell.

8 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his mercy *

and the wonders he does for his children.

9 For he satisfies the thirsty *

and fills the hungry with good things.

43 Whoever is wise will ponder these things, *

and consider well the mercies of the LORD.
