1 "Give thanks to the Lord because he is good,because his faithful love lasts forever!"
2 That’s what those who are redeemed by the Lord say,the ones God redeemed from the power of their enemies,
3 the ones God gathered from various countries,from east and west, north and south.
4 Some of the redeemed had wandered into the desert, into the wasteland.They couldn’t find their way to a city or town.
5 They were hungry and thirsty;their lives were slipping away.
6 So they cried out to the Lord in their distress,and God delivered them from their desperate circumstances.
7 God led them straight to human habitation.
