Song Of The Redeemed
“Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for He is good;
For His loving-kindness endureth forever.

From the east and from the west,
From the north and from the south.

They found no city of habitation.
Hungry and thirsty,

Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble,
And He delivered them out of their distresses,
He led them also by a straight way,
That they might go to a city of habitation.
Oh that men would praise Jehovah for His loving-
kindness
And for His wonderful works to the children of
men!
For He satisfieth the longing soul,
And the hungry soul He filleth with good.
“Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
Being bound in affliction and iron,
