1  O give thanks to the Lord, for he is gracious, ♦︎
   for his steadfast love endures for ever.
2  Let the redeemed of the Lord say this, ♦︎
   those he redeemed from the hand of the enemy,
3  And gathered out of the lands
      from the east and from the west, ♦︎
   from the north and from the south.
17  Some were foolish and took a rebellious way, ♦︎
   and were plagued because of their wrongdoing.
18  Their soul abhorred all manner of food ♦︎
   and drew near to the gates of death.
19  Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, ♦︎
   and he delivered them from their distress.
20  He sent forth his word and healed them, ♦︎
   and saved them from destruction.
21  Let them give thanks to the Lord for his goodness ♦︎
   and the wonders he does for his children.
22  Let them offer him sacrifices of thanksgiving ♦︎
   and tell of his acts with shouts of joy.
