2 Let the redeemed of YHWH say [so], || Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary. Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble Let the redeemed of the LORD tell their story— those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,
3 And has gathered them from the lands, || From east and from west, || From north, and from the sea. and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south. those he gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south.
4 They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, || They have not found a city of habitation. Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in; Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no way to a city where they could settle.
5 Hungry—indeed—thirsty, || Their soul becomes feeble in them, hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them. They were hungry and thirsty, and their lives ebbed away.
6 And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, || He delivers them from their distress, Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.

9 For He has satisfied a longing soul, || And has filled a hungry soul [with] goodness. For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things. for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
10 Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, || Prisoners of affliction and of iron, Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and in irons, Some sat in darkness, in utter darkness, prisoners suffering in iron chains,
11 Because they changed the saying of God, || And despised the counsel of the Most High. for they had rebelled against the words of God, and spurned the counsel of the Most High. because they rebelled against God’s commands and despised the plans of the Most High.
12 And He humbles their heart with labor, || They have been feeble, and there is no helper. So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor; they fell down, with none to help. So he subjected them to bitter labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help.
13 And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, || He saves them from their distresses. Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.

17 Fools, by means of their transgression, || And by their iniquities, afflict themselves. Some were fools through their sinful ways, and because of their iniquities suffered affliction; Some became fools through their rebellious ways and suffered affliction because of their iniquities.
18 Their soul detests all food, || And they come near to the gates of death, they loathed any kind of food, and they drew near to the gates of death. They loathed all food and drew near the gates of death.

23 Those going down [to] the sea in ships, || Doing business in many waters, Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters; Some went out on the sea in ships; they were merchants on the mighty waters.
