They (A)wandered in the wilderness in a [a]desert region;
They did not find a way to [b]an inhabited (B)city.
They were hungry [c]and thirsty;
Their (C)souls felt weak within them.
Then they (D)cried out to the Lord in their trouble;
He saved them from their distresses.
He also had them walk on a [d](E)straight way,
To go to [e](F)an inhabited city.
(G)They shall give thanks to the Lord for His mercy,
And for His [f]wonders to the sons of mankind!
For He has (H)satisfied the [g]thirsty soul,
And He has filled the (I)hungry soul with what is good.

They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.

Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
