6 ^aThen they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He delivered them out of their distresses. ‡

7 And He led them forth by the ^aright way,
That they might go to a city for a dwelling place. ‡

8 ^aOh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men! ‡

9 For ^aHe satisfies the longing soul,
And fills the hungry soul with goodness. ‡

10 Those who ^asat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
^bBound¹ in affliction and irons— ‡

11 Because they ^arebelled against the words of God,
And¹ despised ^bthe counsel of the Most High, ‡

12 Therefore He brought down their heart with labor;
They fell down, and there was ^anone to help. ‡

13 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses.
