Part I

Give thanks to the, for he is good, * and his mercy endures for ever.

Let all those whom the has redeemed proclaim * that he redeemed them from the hand of the foe.

He gathered them out of the lands; * from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.

Some wandered in desert wastes; * they found no way to a city where they might dwell.

They were hungry and thirsty; * their spirits languished within them.

Then they cried to the in their trouble, * and he delivered them from their distress.

He put their feet on a straight path * to go to a city where they might dwell.

Let them give thanks to the for his mercy * and the wonders he does for his children.

For he satisfies the thirsty * and fills the hungry with good things.
