6
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
7
He led them by a straight way
to a city where they could settle.
8
Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for men,
9
for he satisfies the thirsty
and fills the hungry with good things.
10
Some sat in darkness and the deepest gloom,
prisoners suffering in iron chains,
11
for they had rebelled against the words of God
and despised the counsel of the Most High.
12
So he subjected them to bitter labor;
they stumbled, and there was no one to help.
13
Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress.
