4 Some had lost their way in a barren desert;found no path toward a city to live in.
5 They were hungry and thirsty;their life was ebbing away.
6 In their distress they cried to the Lord,who rescued them in their peril,
7 Guided them by a direct pathso they reached a city to live in.
8 Let them thank the Lord for his mercy,such wondrous deeds for the children of Adam.
9 For he satisfied the thirsty,filled the hungry with good things.
10 Some lived in darkness and gloom,imprisoned in misery and chains.
