Hungry - Falling On My Knees

Psalm 107

 ¹ Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; 
   his love endures forever. 
² Let the redeemed of the LORD say this— 
   those he redeemed from the hand of the foe, 
³ those he gathered from the lands, 
   from east and west, from north and south.^[a]

 ⁴ Some wandered in desert wastelands,
   finding no way to a city where they could settle.
⁵ They were hungry and thirsty,
   and their lives ebbed away.
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.
¹⁴ He brought them out of darkness and the deepest gloom
   and broke away their chains.
¹⁵ Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love
   and his wonderful deeds for men,
¹⁶ for he breaks down gates of bronze
   and cuts through bars of iron.
