1  ^gOh give thanks to the Lord, ^hfor he is good,

for his steadfast love endures forever!

2  Let ⁱthe redeemed of the Lord say so,

whom he has ^jredeemed from trouble¹

3  and ^kgathered in from the lands,

from the east and from the west,

from the north and from the south.

17  Some were ^efools through their sinful ways,

and because of their iniquities suffered affliction;

18  ^fthey loathed any kind of food,

and they ^gdrew near to ^hthe gates of death.

19  ⁱThen they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

20  He ^jsent out his word and ^khealed them,

and ^ldelivered them from their destruction.

21  ^mLet them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,

for his wondrous works to the children of man!

22  And let them ⁿoffer sacrifices of thanksgiving,

and ^otell of his deeds in ^psongs of joy!
